It's incredibly challenging for new players, and fun once you have learnt the basics. This blog will go through what I've learnt and how to play the game correctly.<h2 id=getting-started>Getting Started</h2><p>If you're new to the game, you may find it frustrating. You must learn very well to dodge.<p>Your first <a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Characters>character</a> will be <a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Commando>Commando</a>. He's actually a very nice character. Use your third skill (dodge) to move faster, pass through large groups of enemies, and negate fall damage.<p>If there are a lot of monsters, remember to <strong>leave</strong> from there! It's really important for survival. Most enemies <strong>don't do body damage</strong>. Not even the body of the <a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Magma_Worm>Magma Worm</a> or the <a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Wandering_Vagrant>Wandering Vagrant</a> (just dodge the head and projectiles respectively).<p>The first thing you must do is always <strong>rush for the teleporter</strong>. Completing the levels quick will make the game easier. But make sure to take note of <strong>where the chests are</strong>! When you have time (even when the countdown finishes), go back for them and buy as many as you can. Generally, prefer <a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Chest>chests</a> over <a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Shrine>shrines</a> since they may eat all your money.<p>Completing the game on <a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Difficulty>Drizzle</a> is really easy if you follow these tips.<h2 id=requisites>Requisites</h2><p>Before breaking the game, you must obtain several <a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Item#Artifacts>artifacts</a>. We are interested in particular in the following:<ul><li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Sacrifice>Sacrifice</a>. You really need this one, and may be a bit hard to get. With it, you will be able to farm the first level for 30 minutes and kill the final boss in 30 seconds.<li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Command>Command</a>. You need this unless you want to grind for hours to get enough of the items you really need for the rest of the game. Getting this one is easy.<li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Glass>Glass</a>. Your life will be very small (at the beginning…), but you will be able to one-shot everything easily.<li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Kin>Kin</a> (optional). It makes it easier to obtain a lot of boxes if you restart the first level until you get <a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Lemurian>lemurians</a> or <a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Jellyfish>jellyfish</a> as the monster, since they're cheap to spawn.</ul><p>With those, the game becomes trivial. Playing as <a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Huntress>Huntress</a> is excellent since she can move at high speed while killing everything on screen.<h2 id=breaking-the-game>Breaking the Game</h2><p>The rest is easy! With the command artifact you want the following items.<h3 id=common-items><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Common_Items>Common Items</a></h3><ul><li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Soldier's_Syringe>Soldier's Syringe</a>. <strong>Stack 13</strong> of these and you will triple your attack speed. You can get started with 4 or so.<li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Paul's_Goat_Hoof>Paul's Goat Hoof</a>. <strong>Stack +30</strong> of these and your movement speed will be insane. You can get a very good speed with 8 or so.<li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Crowbar>Crowbar</a>. <strong>Stack +20</strong> to guarantee you can one-shot bosses.</ul><p>If you want to be safer:<ul><li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Hermit's_Scarf>Hermit's Scarf</a>. <strong>Stack 6</strong> of these to dodge 1/3 of the attacks.<li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Monster_Tooth>Monster Tooth</a>. <strong>Stack 9</strong> of these to recover 50 life on kill. This is plenty, since you will be killing <em>a lot</em>.</ul><p>If you don't have enough and want more fun, get one of these:<ul><li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Gasoline>Gasoline</a>. Burn the ground on kill, and more will die!<li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Headstompers>Headstompers</a>. They make a pleasing sound on fall, and hurt.<li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Lens-Maker's_Glasses>Lens-Maker's Glasses</a>. <strong>Stack 14</strong> and you will always deal a critical strike for double the damage.</ul><h3 id=uncommon-items><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Uncommon_Items>Uncommon Items</a></h3><ul><li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Infusion>Infusion</a>. You only really need one of this. Your life will skyrocket after a while, since this gives you 1HP per kill.<li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Hopoo_Feather>Hopoo Feather</a>. <strong>Stack +10</strong> of these. You will pretty much be able to fly with so many jumps.<li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Guardian's_Heart>Guardian's Heart</a>. Not really necessary, but useful for early and late game, since it will absorb infinite damage the first hit.</ul><p>If, again, you want more fun, get one of these:<ul><li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Ukulele>Ukelele</a>. Spazz your enemies!<li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Will-o'-the-wisp>Will-o'-the-wisp</a>. Explode your enemies!<li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Chargefield_Generator>Chargefield Generator</a>. It should cover your entire screen after a bit, hurting all enemies without moving a finger.<li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Golden_Gun>Golden Gun</a>. You will be rich, so this gives you +40% damage.<li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Predatory_Instincts>Predatory Instincts</a>. If you got 14 glasses, you will always be doing critical strikes, and this will give even more attack speed.<li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/56_Leaf_Clover>56 Leaf Clover</a>. More drops, in case you didn't have enough.</ul><h3 id=rare-items><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Rare_Items>Rare Items</a></h3><ul><li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Ceremonial_Dagger>Ceremonial Dagger</a>. <strong>Stack +3</strong>, then killing one thing kills another thing and makes a chain reaction.<li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Alien_Head>Alien Head</a>. <strong>Stack 3</strong>, and you will be able to use your abilities more often.</ul><p>For more fun:<ul><li><a href=http://riskofrain.wikia.com/wiki/Brilliant_Behemoth>Brilliant Behemoth</a>. Boom boom.</ul><h2 id=closing-words>Closing Words</h2><p>You can now beat the game in Monsoon solo with any character. Have fun! And be careful with the sadly common crashes.</main><footer><div><p>Share your thoughts, or simply come hang with me <a href=https://t.me/LonamiWebs><img src=/img/telegram.svg alt=Telegram></a> <a href=mailto:totufals@hotmail.com><img src=/img/mail.svg alt=Mail></a></div></footer></article><p class=abyss>Glaze into the abyss… Oh hi there!
