Risk of Rain 2 - Eclipse 8 NO ITEMS - Railgunner
Ойын-сауық
by far the hardest thing i've ever done in this game.
ever since eclipse came out, i wanted to see if it was possible to clear it without items. i tried a couple of times as loader but got walled pretty hard by stage 5. someone did it as acrid, which is probably the most impressive run i've seen, but it used a lot of stalling tactics since acrid isn't strong enough to outscale enemies without items. when railgunner came out and i saw how strong the abilities were, i knew i had to go for it again.
my strat for this is to rush the stages as fast as possible and try to outscale the enemies. it works for the most part with the first 3 stages, but stages 4 and 5 can spawn some really bad stuff. the most notable run killer is stage 4, i believe the only realistically possible stage is abyssal depths, the spawn rate of larva is way too high on the other two stages and the larva is ridiculously fast on eclipse. if i take too long, the game has a higher chance to spawn something like a magma worm which is really bad for railgunner. getting a titan on stage 4 was pretty much the best possible rng.
apart from being a rng grind, there's still a lot going on in terms of awareness of what is spawning / has already spawned and where the best place is to be relative to where the teleporter is. stage 5 is a good example of that, i start running far away in case a grandparent spawns, and some horde bosses can kill me instantly if i'm too close (such as brass contraptions and greater wisps)
i was really nervous during the mithrix fight which is why my aim was so bad. it's hard to aim when your brain is turned off. the escape sequence is also much harder than it looks.
i was going for this for about a week. i got a bunch of stage 5 attempts but only got to the moon 4 times. 2 of those died to fall damage from failing pillar skip, and i also lost a run to phase 3 walls. also shoutouts to a rock hitting me on a stage 5 spawn once which killed me instantly, really fun way to end a run

The lengths he went to just to make 4th phase easier.
What an ingenious strat! By optimizing your items for phase 4 you can essentially trivialize the entire phase!

Holy shit, I never thought I'd see the day where we finally have a no items E8 run thats *actually* possible and fun. I gotta give this a try sometime, seems like a real good test of game knowledge and Railgunner.
Me, stuck on eclipse 6 with railgunner: “oh..”
"shoutouts to a rock hitting me on a stage 5 spawn once which killed me instantly, really fun way to end a run" lmao nice
yeah, railgunner is just so strong. i’ve also been trying this with reasonable success, kinda hard to get a consistent time with certain spawns, etc, but it’s really cool to see someone else attempt it dry as well- with no artifacts, no items it really does feel like a test of skill, patience, and dedication appreciate the inspiration and enjoyed the run/your insights, peace out and have fun!

One impressive thing is that it took until stage 5 for enemy leveling to catch up.
woah congrats on clearing this!

You're a god, well played
NOT IMPRESSED! You missed so many easy shots... (being nervous isn't an excuse!) I've tried to do this with acrid before, but i've been unable to pull-off the pillar skip with him and charging pillars (especially pillars of soul) seems impossible due to low damage and the chimera fire covering the whole damn radius. I didn't know someone else had beaten me to it with acrid, although if the run you mention is HK BLAUs then that's on old commencement without the pillars. April fools, this is impressive- good job. You've almost motivated me to spend hours hopping around on that damn tree again. Almost.

all jokes aside i did miss a ton of easy shots though. nerves were to blame for a lot of them but i also had to close everything except OBS so that i get as many frames as possible, which is why i have ingame music on (i usually split audio channels and listen to music / watch a stream while playing). and yes that is the run i'm talking about. as far as i know it's the only eclipse 8 clear video without items? i tried looking around and couldn't find anyone else who had recorded it. i don't know much about acrid and pillar skipping but this railgunner skip is very precise

Didn't think this was possible, nice job! I thought for sure those first two walls at 22:45 were gonna hit you. Love how phase 3 was killed via fall damage. Also love whatever this fella at 25:29 is doing. So because of the bonus movement speed from eclipse 4, Mithrix will always launch himself over you when he runs up the ramp?
