To unlock the Mercenary in Risk of Rain 2, players need to obliterate themselves at the Celestial Portal on the Moon. This can only be done after finding and activating the Primordial Teleporter hidden on the fourth stage, Siren's Call.
Acquiring the Mercenary in Risk of Rain 2
To unlock the Mercenary character in Risk of Rain 2, you will need to complete a specific set of tasks and challenges. The Mercenary is a unique and powerful character known for its high mobility and melee-focused playstyle. Unlocking the Mercenary requires completing particular in-game objectives that may take some time and effort to accomplish. Below are the steps you need to follow to unlock the Mercenary in Risk of Rain 2.
Fulfilling the Prismatic Trials Requirement
One of the primary requirements to unlock the Mercenary is to complete 5 Prismatic Trials. Prismatic Trials are special, predefined runs with fixed settings and challenges that rotate periodically. To access Prismatic Trials, go to the main menu of the game and navigate to the "Play" section. Look for the Prismatic Trials option and start completing them. It is essential to complete five of these trials successfully to progress to the next step of unlocking the Mercenary.
Defeating the Unique Boss in the Void Fields
Once you have completed the 5 Prismatic Trials, the next step involves accessing the Void Fields and defeating a unique boss known as "Void Reaver." To reach the Void Fields, you must find a 'Null Portal' during a run. These Null Portals spawn randomly on one of the stages after you have activated the teleporter and defeated the boss. Enter the Null Portal to access the Void Fields. Inside the Void Fields, survive the challenging environment and defeat the Void Reaver boss to progress in unlocking the Mercenary.
Completing the True Respite Challenge
After defeating the Void Reaver, you will need to complete the True Respite challenge to unlock the Mercenary. The True Respite challenge involves activating and clearing out all five Celestial Portals that spawn after you defeat the final boss. These portals can only be activated once per run and require you to defeat a special group of enemies at each location. Persistence and skill are crucial in completing this challenge successfully.
Unlocking the Mercenary
Once you have successfully completed the True Respite challenge by clearing all five Celestial Portals, you will unlock the Mercenary character in Risk of Rain 2. The Mercenary brings a unique set of skills and abilities to the game, emphasizing close-range combat and high mobility. Enjoy unleashing the Mercenary's full potential in your future runs as you navigate the challenging environments and face off against formidable foes in Risk of Rain 2.
