How to Reach the Moon

Before you can play the final stages of the game, you will have to reach the moon. Getting to the moon requires you to play through the four stages of the game to Sky Meadows. Once you are in stage five, you have to find the Primordial Teleporter, which is located at the end of the level. After reaching it, you have to wait for the notification about the Primordial Teleporter aligning with the moon.

On the other hand, if you interact with its prawns and the notification “the Primordial Teleporter aligns with the earth” pops up, then it's better to re-interact with the prawns again to change its alignment to the moon. Also, you may find it hard to locate the Primordial Teleporter at Sky Meadows. One of the best means for locating a teleporter is by looking for the flakes floating in the air.

If you've been playing from stage one to four, you will notice that the regular Teleporter has a red flake, and the Primordial Teleporter has blue shards. The appearance of the Primordial Teleporter differs from the normal Teleporter – having rector shaped slogs rather than horns. Similar to the normal Teleporter, you need to charge the Primordial Teleporter to 100% after killing the enemies that spawn on the event. After interacting with the Teleporter, you will be transported to the moon, where you can face the final boss.

How to Beat Mithrix: Risk of Rain 2

Once players get to the moon, they will have to find their way to the final boss, Mithrix. They may fight several enemies along their path or just run away from their attacks. Players can continue forward and use the jump pads to climb the mountains. Facing Mithrix is challenging, so you need to ensure your character selection is accurate with the best items to make the fight easy.

Items and Character You Need to Beat Mithrix

Playing through stages one to five and fighting the final boss will require a character with high mobility and movement speed. Some of the characters to consider include;

• Huntress
• Mercenary
• Loader
• Railgunner

However, if you are using characters, such as Acrid or Engineer, that fall short in this area, then consider using mobility items like Wax Quail, Hippo Feathers, and H3AD-5T v2. These tools will be essential because the final stage has multiple debris, and the best way to pass through them is to use as many jumps as possible. Also, when fighting Mithrix, you need to be fast, as the game requires you to get back to your starting position within four minutes.

After stacking mobility items, you need defensive items like Aegis or Tougher times to protect you from heavy damage. We know getting these in the game depends on luck, but you need it to make your boss fight easy. Alternatively, you can use the Mercenary because he can dodge most of Mithrix’s attacks, especially the part where you have to wander around and escape the pillars of flames bursting from the ground.

Beating Mithrix

After navigating through the tough terrain of the moon, you will use the jump pad to reach the gladiator-looking field that has a black ball in the middle. Mithrix will spawn in this arena, so you need to be prepared for battle. Once you are there, a short cutscene will introduce the final boss before the fight starts. Mithrix’s attacks are predictable, especially his melee attacks that you can dodge by moving around him.

The melee assault does not deal heavy damage, but at the same time it will be wise to evade them. His ranged attacks will require you to always be on guard and mobile to dodge them. You will encounter four phases when fighting the final boss. In the second phase, you will not fight Mithrix directly. What you face instead is the Lunar Chimera Golems, which you may have fought previously in the game. After killing all the monsters in phase two, Mithrix will spawn back for the third round with new abilities and attacks.

In the last phase, Mithrix will have the ability to steal all your items and use them for himself. However as you attack him, your survivor will regain some of the items back. After killing Mithrix, you need to evade the exploding moon in less than four minutes. As you make your escape, you will encounter several monsters but fighting them will only waste the short time that you have. Once you arrive at the waiting ship, you will have succeeded in beating the game and unlocking Captain.
