Risk of Rain 2: How to Loop

Getting to the end of a game is the aim of every player so they can conquer the game by fighting the final boss. However, this is not the case in this game because Risk of Rain 2 is roguelike and survivors only complete the game when they die or get obliterated at the obelisk. If you're wondering how to get obliterated, check out a similar series like this one on our blog, so you can be sure your run will end one way or another. In the meantime let's jump into how to loop Risk of Rain 2

Looping Risk of Rain 2

In Risk of Rain 2, a player can complete their run in two ways. This involves getting to the fifth stage of the game (Sky Meadows) without looping and beating the game by killing Mithrix. Alternatively, players can choose to Loop the game, where they will be transported to the first environment to start from the beginning but this time with increased difficulty.

The aim of Looping is to complete several sets of the five levels in the game. With each set new monsters surge and the item cost becomes stricter. This phenomenon will keep repeating itself as the player completes more sets. Some of the new monsters you will likely face after looping include;

• Hermit Crabs (Titanic Plains)
• Jellyfish (Distant Roost and Titanic Plains)
• Void Reaver (Rallypoint Delta and Siren’s Call)
• Clay Templar (Abandoned Aqueduct)
• Alloyed Vulture (Scorched Acres

The loop continues so unless you are ready to fight the boss in the final level, the only way to end your run is by getting obliterated at the Obelisk. Contrary to what you might believe, looping is harder than fighting Mithrix. However, it is among the best ways to track your runs, and from our experience in the game, it gives players a better chance of completing the game at the final level.

Most players even consider looping a prerequisite for playing the final stage of the game. Of course, this depends on the difficulty level, and heading into the boss stages with a single run is not such a bad idea, only that the player may not have enough capabilities to complete it. On the other hand, Looping is just as rough because things get very challenging as monsters respawn very quickly and deal heavy damage. In most cases if a player doesn't even out their abilities across utility, damage, and healing, they could die and their run ends there.

How to Loop Risk of Rain 2

There are several ways to loop your run in Risk of Rain 2. Here are some of the best methods to loop Risk of Rain 2, so you can skip fighting Mithrix even if you've already beaten him before.

Alternate the Alignment of the Primordial Teleporter

This method is the normal process to follow if you want to loop the game. Once you’ve completed the fifth stage of the game, to loop your run, interact with the prawns of the teleporter rather than the centerpiece. Following the game's instructions, rotate the prawns of the teleporter and after completing them, the game will notify you immediately. If you do this correctly, the message that will display on your screen is this: “The Primordial Teleporter Aligns With the Planet.”

You can use the teleporter to start from the beginning of the game which is either the Distant Roost or the Titanic Plains. After completing these events you must have looped the game and continue your run from stage one in the game. While some players may face this process without any hassle, others may encounter challenges. For instance, the Primordial Teleporter may form in a mechanic where you cannot interact with the prawns to change its direction. If you encounter this scene, try out other methods to loop this game.

Enter a Lunar Shop Through the Newt Altar

This option is the most satisfying option for those looking to loop the game because players can shop on this path, while they skip killing Mithrix. It is quite simple and you must do it before starting the teleporter event. After playing all the stages to the fifth stage, find a Newt Altar in Sky Meadows and link with it. This Newt Altar spawns in different places on a map whether it is the Titanic Plains or the Abandoned Aqueduct.

Since Sky Meadows is a large map, it has the most on any map, which is five Newt Altar. Once you've interacted with any of these places in the game, a blue orb will appear, where you can pass through to the Lunar Shop after the teleporter event. After shopping the game respawns you at the beginning of the first environment, which means you have evaded going to the moon.

Use the Compound Generator to Enter the Bulwark’s Ambry

This option is more difficult than the last two methods above. If you want to loop the game at the fifth stage, search for the compound generator and input the hidden codes on the machine. Once you've entered the code, interact with the laptop at the compound generator to open a portal to the hidden realm which is the Bulwark's Ambry. Players must be ready to fight because after going through the portal, they will need to defeat the boss and claim the Artifact before leaving the arena.

Also, time stops inside the portal, so you do not need to rush when fighting the monsters. After defeating the boss, and collecting the Artifact, you will have to leave through the portal, where the game will respawn you in the first environment.
