My character's still there. What's up, man? You get collapsed on Seeker. Guess what? You press your iframe button. Wait, you don't even need Max Tranquility for this bug, dude. His little nut sack right there, he's quaking. Bam, this character is so good, dude, for science confirmed. Wo wo wo wo wo. W, does it give you a different answer? Multi, what am I doing? Um, I don't know if I want to do uh balls or the fist. I don't know, I don't quite know, dude. Um, are we done with this now? We need a little bit more. I think that uh the Hon. Oh my gosh, with the hon Shrine, just uh hit it one time. Soon as you get the minimum charge, just get out of it. Okay, never mind. Okay, can you please the secret? Are, are do not get it at all. For each stack of Tranquility, you get plus 1% to all of your stats. So, Health, damage, probably movement speed as well. I don't know if that's true, but that's what people are.

saying let's look at my health bar here. I have 149 health max. Let's go here and now I have no. You don't wait um maybe okay may maybe 1% is actually not enough nah 1% of 149 is 1.4. I should definitely have gotten plus one dude who was saying you get plus 1% all stats all right 149 Max Health again it's still 149. Yeah dude you do not get Max stats who who was saying that maybe you get increased stats at maximum Tranquility Stacks here we go boom boom boom boom boom ah there we go. So it's only while you're at maximum tranquility and we went from what 180 something to 196. It might have been 7% so yeah I I would imagine it's 1% Max stats but you have to be at Max maximum Tranquility for it 183 * 1.1 no 1.07 195. What's my HP right now 196. I'm assuming it rounds up yeah so I think I

think it's uh 7% yep so you get 7% to Stats only while at maximum Tranquility. All right, this item right here, boys, bugged, bugged, bugged. No pick, do not pick up this item, warped Echo. No, no, speaking of crit, bam, bam, oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, Red Alert. Wonder how much damage reduction you get inside of... Actually, I can test that very easily. Here we go. I want to get hit by something and lose my barrier real quick. It blew up again. All right, all right, all right, hold on. All right, hold on. Let's get a little heal. All right, here we go. Boom. Oh no, I can't move. Wait, wait, I didn't even have Max Tranquility. Wait, you don't even need Max Tranquility for this bug, dude. Okay, uh, well, I was trying to test the damage reduction. All right, how much damage we take. Oh, I hope it don't get one shot. Okay, good. 40, 2, 42. Let get some health back real quick. All right, maybe we shouldn't do it.

on Eclipse, where we're missing half of our health pool. Oh, BL, come here. 10 damage, 10 damage, 10 damage. I don't think you get damage reduction at all, so I don't know why I thought that. You take the same amount of damage, so keep that in mind. Yes, the revive only works once per stage, and it's when you're at max stacks, and that's how you also get the free elixir. I don't know how much it heals you, though. We'll have to test that real quick. I would imagine it works like elixir, right, where it prioritizes the Saving Grace Beetle Queen one-shot. Oh, I got to stand on that too. Here we go, here we go. No, what? Wait, I didn't heal either. You only have six Tranquility, huh? I clearly have seven. It still says I only have six. Wait, no, it must have proed someone. Hey, give me a replay. So, we clearly have the green stack of Saving Grace. It looks like the

threshold is right here, right? But look, when it procs, oh, it healed me for 67 health. The Beetle Queen attack came flying in, so it is prioritized over your watch. I just didn't see the Beetle Queen use your attack. All right, so it's definitely working. It's actually pretty good. Um, what's 67, uh, compared to 269? It's like 25%. Yeah, literally 25%. Oh, we were on a clip, so 67 right there. You see it right there, 67. It's kind of hard to see the seven, but we definitely healed for 67, so it's a 50% heal, and it does work like an elixir. It prioritizes over your watch, which is good. That's what you want. Do you lose your stats if you use the Saving Grace? I don't know. Let's see. 319 health. 319 goes to 319. You do. You lose the stats. Wow. Wait, you do. If you do not have the golden leaf on your buff bar, you do not get the stat increase, and you

do not have Saving Grace, and you do not have the revive. You have to have the Golden Leaf in your buff bar. Dude, why are there so many more elites on the map? It's not even funny. You absolutely are getting more Elites now, and there's a gilded, a gilded just spawn. The director FPS Theory. It might actually be, man. You know what we should do? We should do a run at 30 FPS, an entire run at 30 FPS. I might do it for the boys, for you. We do a little bit of a gamer move here. I can't exit. You can't cancel meditate with your sojourn. That seems like it's a no-no. Just press R. Does it cancel with R? All right, I'm going. I'm going to do it. Here we go. Press R again. Oh my gosh, why, dude? Why does that work but not my utility ability? You know, the one that I would press for movement, AKA I would want to quickly cancel something and go.

somewhere else with my movement skill. Oh, just the wrong button, and then I sat there. Nice smile. No, I'm never going to leave freaking Eclipse 5, bro. Lock your FPS. Okay, let's just see if it actually does anything. Let's quit the menu just to make sure. All right, oh my God. Hey, we instantly got the new stage. That's kind of crazy. Not a single Elite enemy during this teleporter fight, by the way. Not a single Elite enemy spawned. It's just regular Larians, Golems, etc. Yeah, this is more like it. Two Elite enemies, three Elite. Okay, well, that's fine. It only spawns three guys. I'm trolling. I'm trolling. Oh, we're good. S star, my boy, my beloved. We need an S star emote, dude. We absolutely need a Sal star OTE. Now, what if it's just Y? Whoa, I got it. Here you go, Sal star OTE. Ready? Put this face, Joe, are you here? Joe, so put this face on the S star. Ready? There you go. Boom. Perfect. That's

the emote right there, that's the one. I don't even know what it looks like. Doesn't matter, we're going in. Alright dude, I am almost certain FPS affects the director spawn credits because there are no enemies. My TP fights normally, there would be so many enemies right now. Like they just keep spawning and spawning and spawning. I'm getting like beetles, but it would be like Elite Beetle guards, clay Templar. We haven't seen a single clay Templar stage three last run. How many clay Templars do we see? Like five, six. Please die man, where is my HP bar going? No, what? What just hit the CH? Oh yeah, woo, oh yeah. Alright, I'm not playing a 30 FPS more. That just made me mad. Oh my, look at the diff. Oh, oh, oh. I'm a changed man. All of it's so hard to tell because you have so much variable spawns. Regular risk Grant, do you have so many variable spawns anyway? So it'd be very hard to go to get reach a

conclusive statement like, Oh yeah, we're definitely getting more enemies. A bang on emote check. Hold on, hold on. Oh no, let me open them all up. All right, so you have option here, option here, or you have option here. I think this one is it. What should we title this, boys? Sale? 'Cause if then, if we play a game where there's like a bank sale or something going on, you know, a sale, someone could type in it, it just comes up. All right, Saale it is. You're IM mortal in Sojourn. You are not Immortal in Sojourn. There's no way you take zero damage. It's only the self-damage. You don't take external damage at all during Sojourn. Really? Wait, are you s... Wait, so the Strat is just going Sojourn with balls? That's the Strat? You just go Ser Sojourn with the orbiting balls? You just get barrier on hit constantly? Yo, that's busted actually. That's wild. That can't be intentional. That can't be.

that you think all right let's stand like here hey he's not high enough it might take a little bit W heck yeah there we go come on there watch this one bam wait I stopped him from taking fall damage cuz I knocked him up with my fist dude yeah buddy he's dead see you buddy let's go we love fall damage oh yeah we love fall damage right here boys wow this damage yo my image oh gosh oh gosh oh geez help I can't even kill a single kyera we got him one down which is uh kind of funny where are the shock waves why did he not shock wave where were the shock waves are they invisible wait he's not doing shock waves at all wait he's like phase one mids right now oh I'm never mind guys never mind don't don't question mark no question mark no question marks listen to The Banger listen to The Banger no question marks 0% chance can't we die here they disappeared they literally

disappeared help. They literally disappeared. Did you see that? Yo, I'm not making that one up. Go far away. Uh-oh, I got no... Did it just kill me twice? Wait, what just happened? Come on, Myrix, die right here, buddy. I need you to die. Come on, no, you took the fall damage. Come on, dude, nine. Oh my God, not... Come on, man, just die. Just die, Myrix. Myrix, you have 400 health. Oh, look, my character's still there. Wait, my character's still there. See that dude die? What is going on? Just die, Myx. Get away from me. No, no, I'm not doing Eclipse freaking five again, man. Die, you punk. Die, thank you. My character's still there. Look [Music]. Look, what's up, man? Oh my gosh, R, his nuts hit his little nut sack right there. He's quaking. Oh, wait, I can get back up to full stacks now 'cause I died. Oh, oh, watch this. I hit them so hard, they're going to be shaking. Bam, oh, bam, bam. This character is so good, dude. I'm

going in for the kill, boys. Going in for the kill. Sit down, buddy. Line it up. Bam. One last one on the way down. Uh, is that the bait portal, or is this the bait portal? This is the good one. What's this one go? I don't know. I think it's a good one. I troll. GG. GG. I lost the game. GG. I would imagine that the Saving Grace does not prevent lethal. It just heals you if you're under that threshold. But if you're at 80 health and then you take 81 damage, you're still dead. Fall damage. Uh, ooh, good point. Yeah, fall damage. Let's test it first. Science. Okay. All right. Confirmed. Confirmed. And we did get a red item, war bonds, and the rest are com. Kind of unlucky, I guess. Uh, but war bonds are pretty good. So war bonds gives you 75. It gives you three chests' worth of gold right at the start of a stage, and it scales based on a player level as well. I don't know if that's just the wording of

it if it actually only gives you three chests worth of gold. We'll see, yeah, if you're looping this all right. Let's see how much money we get. Let's read war bonds real quick. It says 75 gold scaled on the current difficulty level. This is what normal scaling thing like gors to gors to says. It scales with the current difficulty level, right? But it also says the survivor's level. This might just be worded weirdly, and this might just give you three chests worth of gold on each stage, right, at the start, or it's going to give me more than that, right? I don't think it'll give me less than that. Well, let's find out. 237 94. Is that exactly? Wait, it didn't even give me three chests worth. Wait, it didn't even give me three chests worth. Don't get half gold on Eclipse. You get 20% less gold on Eclipse, but that's only from monster kills. Why would that be effective? That, I mean, dude, I mean, why? It could, you might

be right. The eclipse mod might be affecting it. 94 * 3 * point8. Wait, does it give you a different answer? Am I divide by8 94? Uh, be way higher than 52. Reading directly from the code, the item description is wrong. The actual calc is 50 plus level time 1.5 time stat count. [Music] y. Hey, turns out the uh, the go, the item's giving me different gold because it literally functions completely different from the description in game. Ah, that would make sense. Ah, we figured it out, guys. This is the actual formula in the code right here. So this is it. We figured it out, guys. All right, whatever dude, whatever. Who knows? I don't know. I don't know what's going on. Hey guys, here's how to think of war bond, you ready? It gives you money. I walk straight into a mushroom collapser. Oh, I don't take damage in that. Yo, you get collaps on Seeker. Guess what? You press your eye frame button, infinite eye frames button. Oh shoot, I just wasted

it oh gosh oh gosh oh jeez. I don't have my infin frame button. I need my infin frame button. Help, my watches are broken. Wait, what? No, dude, I should have pressed my infinite. Come on, what's the worst bug so far, dude? I think the most hilarious bug. It's the worst, and it's also the funniest. If you plug in a controller to play couch co-op on Console, it straight up deletes your entire save, and you can't recover it. So if you buy the DLC, and you want to sit down with your homie, you're like, Yo, bro, the DLC dropped, let's play it, man. All right, I'm coming over. Your friend comes in, plugs in his controller, bam, your whole save is gone, and you can't play the game because you're on Xbox, you're getting make a pass the main menu, dude. Bug tier list. Should we make a bug tier list? Wait, should I own our? Hey guys, welcome to my survivors secret of the storm bug tier list video. The today's

video starting here in D tier. Oh no, do I have a lock box? I do have a lock box. Should we find it? We would get probably three items. I'm looking for it. I'm looking for it. It's worth it, guys. I promise. The items that we get from this lock box are going to help us on myths immensely. Warp Deco. We'll be fine. We'll be fine. We're not going to soft lock ourselves on the mythri fight with a warp EO. Where's my lock box? Bam! I'll take it. I'll take it. ATG ice band. Hold up. What the G L. [Music] Down. That was close. Oh my gosh. All right, MX. Let's go, you little chump. Dude, what is my damage right now? Oh yeah, I printed 15 watches. Come here, buddy. There we go. Bye-bye. Bye-bye, mrix. That was hardly any damage at all. I can't see. I literally can't see. Well, I hope I don't get hit. Well, I hope I don't get hit. Here, we lost our

uh, get fisted, buddy. All right, myx, how you doing, buddy? Charging it up, Captain. Wait, you should definitely be doing this while he's uh, stealing your items. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wo, wo, who, wa, wa, yo, and I got the bug. Okay, this is the first time I've experienced. Nice man. All right, six. So, we have the mythri stealing warp de goes becoming immune to damage bug. That's the first time I've experienced it. God man. So, yeah, he was immune to damage. So, let's go.

Initial Testing with the Seeker - is she any good? (Risk of Rain 2 Seekers DLC)

Woolie

The character's iframe ability is effective, and the Tranquility stacks provide a 7% increase to stats, but only at maximum Tranquility.

The item "Warped Echo" is bugged and should be avoided.

The player is testing damage reduction and health recovery, struggling to achieve maximum Tranquility during the process.

Gameplay Mechanics and Healing in Eclipse

In Eclipse, players are missing half of their health pool and take the same amount of damage, with the revive working only once per stage at max stacks.

The Healing Grace Beetle Queen's attack prioritizes healing, providing a 50% heal and causing players to lose their stats if the Golden Leaf is not in the buff bar.

There is an increase in elite enemies on the map, and the player's utility ability does not cancel as expected, leading to frustration.

The player discusses their movement skills and experiences in a game, noting the impact of locking the FPS on enemy spawns.

They mention the unusual lack of Elite enemies during a teleporter fight and the need for an S star emote.

The player also explores the idea of using Sojourn's self-damage and barrier on hit for a powerful strategy.

The player is having a chaotic gaming session, using fall damage to their advantage and knocking enemies down.

They experience confusion with invisible shock waves and character deaths, leading to a humorous and intense gameplay.

The player ultimately gains a powerful item, war bonds, which provides a significant gold boost at the start of a stage.

The game's war bonds are supposed to give gold based on the current difficulty level and the survivor's level, but the actual distribution is different from the description.

The player is getting less gold on Eclipse mode, and the item's gold calculation is not aligning with the in-game description.

Additionally, there are bugs in the game, including one that deletes the entire save when a controller is plugged in for couch co-op, leading to frustration for players.

The video starts with the narrator searching for a lock box, which they believe will provide three valuable items to help with the Mythri fight.

They successfully find the lock box and obtain an ATG ice band, boosting their damage.

During the Mythri fight, they experience a bug where Mythri becomes immune to damage while stealing their items.
