To unlock the Captain in Risk of Rain 2, you need to complete a challenge called "Distant Roost on Monsoon difficulty." This challenge requires you to obliterate yourself at the Obelisk in the Bazaar Between Time. Once you do this, you will unlock the Captain character.
Unlocking the Captain in Risk of Rain 2
The Captain is a unique survivor in Risk of Rain 2, and unlocking him requires completing specific in-game challenges. The process to unlock the Captain involves completing a series of tasks that can sometimes be challenging but rewarding once you have him available to play. To unlock the Captain, you need to complete the following steps:
Finding the Hidden Realm: A Moment, Whole
The first step is to locate the hidden realm called A Moment, Whole. To find this hidden realm, you need to complete a series of objectives within the Sky Meadow stage. Defeat the teleporter boss within the time limit, and you will be teleported to A Moment, Whole. Inside this hidden realm, you will find a special altar that you need to interact with to initiate the next stage of unlocking the Captain.
Complete the Environment Log: Null Portal
After interacting with the altar in A Moment, Whole, you will receive the objective to complete the Environment Log: Null Portal entry. To complete this entry, you need to find and activate the null portal in the Abyssal Depths stage. Activating the null portal will start a countdown timer, and you must defeat the special boss that spawns before the timer expires. Once you defeat the boss, you will have progressed further in unlocking the Captain.
Complete the Character Log: Captain
Once you have completed the Environment Log: Null Portal entry, the next step is to complete the Character Log: Captain entry. To complete this entry, you need to find and interact with the special terminal located in the basement of the Abyssal Depths stage. This terminal will transport you to another hidden realm, where you need to defeat unique enemies and overcome challenges to unlock the Captain.
Defeat the Unique Boss: The Captain's Brooch
After completing the challenges in the hidden realm accessed through the special terminal, you will face a unique boss called The Captain's Brooch. Defeat this boss to obtain the Captain's Brooch item as a loot drop. Once you have obtained The Captain's Brooch, you will have successfully unlocked the Captain survivor in Risk of Rain 2.
