Alternate Game Modes (2024)

There are currently 3 alternate game modes that can be played: Prismatic Trials, Eclipse and Simulacrum. Prismatic Trials can only be played solo, while Eclipse and Simulacrum can both be played in multiplayer.

Prismatic Trials

The Prismatic Trials is a special, solo-only game mode where players compete for the fastest time of completing 2 stages. However, to initiate the Teleporter Event, the player must destroy three of a handful of Time Crystals scattered across the map. These crystals explode when destroyed, dealing moderate damage to players and monsters alike. Unlike in standard gameplay, the Teleporter charges instantly once the Teleporter Boss has been defeated.

Prismatic Trials feature a set of two Environments on Rainstorm difficulty, starting cash, and random artifact selections. The only adjustments a player can make are the selected Survivor and their skill loadout.

Prismatic Trials cannot be accessed if the player has installed mods.

Currently, the Prismatic Trial's only in-game purpose is to unlock Slicing WindsSlicing Winds (Special)Fire a wind of blades that attack up to 3 enemies for 8x100% damage. The last hit Expose enemies.

Seed

• Every 3 days (72 hours), a new seed is generated for the Prismatic Trial. This seed is the same for all players, but has different artifacts on console.
• Seeds affect stage rotations, interactables' locations and drops, bosses, monster spawn timing, and activated artifacts.
• Player choices may affect some outcomes of the seed. For example, if the player visits the Bazaar Between TimeBazaar Between Time (Hidden Realm)
  Hidden Realm: Bazaar Between Time
  This stage serves as the shop in Risk of Rain 2. Players can purchase various Items with Lunar Coins or exchange items for higher-rarity ones in two crucibles. after the 1st stage, the 2nd stage will have a different spawn location and teleporter location.
• Seeds are not the same for consoles and PC.

Notes

• The second stage boss will always be an Elite.
• The in-game time does not stop in Bulwark's AmbryBulwark's Ambry (Hidden Realm)

• While there is no variation between Prismatic Trials and usual scenarios, item drops from the Artifact of Sacrifice are not guaranteed each run.

Tips

• Since the monster spawns and item drops from interactables are the same every playthrough, it is possible to memorize them and create strategies for each Prismatic Trial seed.
• If Sky MeadowSky Meadow (Stage 5)

Eclipse

Eclipse is an alternate game mode that adds stacking challenge modifiers to successive runs. Each Survivor starts at Eclipse level 1, where playing Eclipse mode as that Survivor will have the first of the modifiers shown below. After successfully completing a run, that Survivor's Eclipse level will increment (up to a maximum of 8), and the next modifier will be added to future runs (in addition to all the modifiers from lower Eclipse levels). Eclipse has the same difficulty settings as Monsoon, and Challenges that require Monsoon can be completed on Eclipse. However, clearing an Eclipse run will not unlock the Survivor's logbook entry.

1. Ally Starting Health: -50%
2. Teleporter Radius: -50%
3. Ally Fall Damage: +100% and lethal
4. Enemy Speed: +40%
5. Ally Healing: -50%
6. Enemy Gold Drops: -20%
7. Enemy Cooldowns: -50%
8. Allies receive permanent damage. "You only celebrate in the light... because I allow it."

Note: "Ally" includes the player in all cases.

The Planetarium is an area somewhere within the Void, housing a collection of planets detained by the Void's denizens. It is inhabited primarily by the Voidling, the guard of the Planetarium or potentially the controller of the Void itself.

Artifacts cannot be used in Eclipse, and the Artifact Portal cannot be spawned.

Eclipse can be played solo or multiplayer. In multiplayer, the Eclipse level will be set to the lowest level from all Survivors in the lobby.

There are no challenges or unlocks associated with Eclipse; it is strictly a challenge mode to test players' skills, although visual indicators of Eclipse progress will be displayed on the character select screen for the game mode, including a Gold Eclipse icon for beating an Eclipse level on every character.

Eclipse Levels

EclipseLevel	Modifier	Notes
Eclipse 1	Ally Starting Health: -50%	The Eclipse 1 effect starts the Survivor and all allies at half of their maximum health upon spawning, including at the beginning of every stage. Note that this is not a reduction to maximum health, only the starting amount. TranscendenceTranscendence Convert all your health into shield. Increase maximum health. Convert all but 1 health into regenerating shields. Gain 50% (+25% per stack) maximum health. completely negates Eclipse 1 due to the fact that Eclipse 1 ignores shields, and so only the player's 1 health will be halved. While Eclipse 1 does not heavily impact most Survivors, Engineer'sEngineerThe Engineer is a unique class that requires planning and positioning to be successful. Class: Ranged HP: 130 (+39 per level) Damage: 14 (+2.8 per level) Umbra: Fortification Expert turrets' health will be at half every time they are built.
Eclipse 2	Teleporter Radius: -50%	The Eclipse 2 effect reduces the radius of the Teleporter Event by half. Note that this means that the ground area inside the radius is reduced by 75%. This effect includes the radius of the vents in the Void FieldsVoid Fields (Hidden Realm) Cosmic Prison Hidden Realm accessible only through the Bazaar Between Time. Until the cell is stabilized, the Void Fields will constantly "suffocate" the player for a small percentage of their current health. and the Pillars of Soul on CommencementCommencement (Final) Moon of Petrichor V You dream of glass and dirt.

It also makes using Focused ConvergenceFocused Convergence Increase the speed of Teleporter charging... BUT reduce the size of the zone. Teleporters charge 30% (+30% per stack) faster, but the size of the Teleporter zone is 50% (-50% per stack) smaller. more challenging.
Eclipse 3	Ally Fall Damage: +100% and lethal	The Eclipse 3 effect is identical to the effect of the Artifact of Frailty. TranscendenceTranscendence Convert all your health into shield. Increase maximum health. Convert all but 1 health into regenerating shields. Gain 50% (+25% per stack) maximum health. trivializes Eclipse 3, since the player's maximum health becomes 1, and therefore the most fall damage they can take becomes 2. Having more than 50% of a character's health be shield will also make fall damage non-lethal assuming full health. LoaderLoaderThe Loader is a slow but powerful bruiser that can use her grappling hook to uniquely navigate the environment.

Striking enemies with the Loader's gauntlets grants a temporary barrier. Survivor: Loader passive.
Eclipse 4	Enemy Speed: +40%	The Eclipse 4 effect is essentially the opposite of the Chronobauble'sChronobauble Slow enemies on hit. Slow enemies on hit for -60% movement speed for 2s (+2s per stack). effect. Only enemies' movement speed is affected; their attack speed and cooldowns are unchanged. This effect can have some positive effects for the player. Enemies group up faster, and melee enemies (especially MithrixMithrix King of NothingHP: 1000 (+300 per level) Damage: 16 (+3.2 per level) Class: Melee / Ranged Speed: 15 m/s Armor: 20) may overshoot their attacks.
Eclipse 5	Ally Healing: -50%	The Eclipse 5 effect applies to all active healing effects (such as MedkitMedkit Receive a delayed heal after taking damage. 2 seconds after getting hurt, heal for 20 plus an additional 5% (+5% per stack) of maximum health., Monster ToothMonster Tooth Drop a healing orb on kill. Killing an enemy spawns a healing orb that heals for 8 plus an additional 2% (+2% per stack) of maximum health., and REX'sREXREX is a half robot / half plant that uses HP to cast devastating skills from a distance. The plant nor the robot could survive this planet alone – but thankfully they have each other. Class: Ranged HP: 130 (+39 per level) Damage: 12 (+2.4 per level) Umbra: Symbiotes abilities), as well base health regeneration and items with regeneration effects (such as Titanic KnurlTitanic Knurl Boosts health and regeneration.

Convert all but 1 health into regenerating shields. Gain 50% (+25% per stack) maximum health. trivializes Eclipse 5, as shields are unaffected by the healing reduction. Eclipse 5 can be helpful to Survivors of the Void - DLC Content Void Fiend is part of the Survivors of the Void DLC. It is only available if the DLC is enabled when starting a run.

This makes the Corpsebloom a completely detrimental item on Eclipse 5+.
Eclipse 6	Enemy Gold Drops: -20%	The Eclipse 6 effect reduces all gold dropped from enemies by 20%. Other methods of obtaining gold, such as Barrels, Ghor's TomeGhor's Tome Chance on kill to drop a treasure. 4% (+4% on stack) chance on kill to drop a treasure worth $25.

Lose gold on taking damage equal to 100% (+100% per stack) of the maximum health percentage you lost. are unaffected. Eclipse 6 can make it so that some enemies on stage 1 will not give any gold upon defeat.
Eclipse 7	Enemy Cooldowns: -50%	Eclipse 7 halves all enemy skill cooldowns. Essentially, enemies use their moves twice as often. Eclipse 7 is especially consequential for the Alloy Worship UnitAlloy Worship Unit Friend of VulturesHP: 2500 (+750 per level) Damage: 15 (+3 per level) Class: Ranged Speed: 7 m/s Armor: 30, which becomes nigh invincible once it starts using Alloy Supercharged Detonation over and over, attaining near-constant shielding.

Eclipse 8	Allies receive permanent damage. "You only celebrate in the light... because I allow it."	The Eclipse 8 effect leaves permanent curses on allies when they suffer damage. When an ally takes damage, they gain a number of stacks of Permanent CursePermanent Curse (Debuff) Permanently decrease maximum health per stage.Maximum health reduced by a factor of 1 + 0.01 ⋅ n , where n is the number of stacks. (stackable) equal to 40 ⋅ Damage / MaxHealth, rounded down. Maximum health is reduced by a factor of 1 + 0.01 ⋅ n, where n is the number of stacks. Contrary to its name, this "permanent" damage is reset at the beginning of every stage. All curse stacks are also removed when resurrecting with Dio's Best FriendDio's Best Friend Cheat death.

Cleanse all negative effects. Includes debuffs, damage over time, and nearby projectiles.. The formula for health reduction is hyperbolic, meaning health lost is not 1% per curse stack/2.5% damage taken. It instead is reduced by much less than this, making this modifier slightly more forgiving than expected. There is a minimum damage to gain a curse stack of 2.5% of max health, so very small hits will not cause curse and Helfire Tincture45sHelfire Tincture Burn everything nearby... including you and allies.

However, all of REX'sREXREX is a half robot / half plant that uses HP to cast devastating skills from a distance. The plant nor the robot could survive this planet alone – but thankfully they have each other. Class: Ranged HP: 130 (+39 per level) Damage: 12 (+2.4 per level) Umbra: Symbiotes self-damaging moves will trigger the permanent damage effect, making REX easily the hardest character on Eclipse 8 on account of having to use most if not all of its non-self damaging abilities, which are considerably weaker than their self damaging counterparts.

Simulacrum

The Simulacrum is an infinitely scaling wave based alternative game mode that is new to the Survivors of the Void update and DLC.

Upon entering the game, players will spawn next to the Assessment Focus inside of a small cylinder (extending from the ground to the skybox) which protects them from the deadly Void Fog. Outside of the bubble provided, you take damage equivalent to 0.05 * (1 + fogStackCount * 0.1 * 0.2) * 0.2 * fullCombinedHealth every 0.2 seconds, where fogStackCount is the amount of times you've been damaged by the void fog, and fullCombinedHealth is your MaxHealth + MaxShield. Upon interacting with the Focus, the bubble will expand, giving it a radius of 62m, and the first wave will begin. Completing the wave requires killing all the enemies that will spawn. 60 seconds after the last enemy for the wave has spawned, the bubble will slowly shrink until it disappears. If the Void Fog kills all remaining enemies before the player, the wave will be completed successfully and the bubble will reexpand to its initial size. Upon completion of a wave, a Void Potential drops for each player and a 10 second timer starts for the next wave. Additionally, all dead players are respawned at the completion of a wave, effectively making Dio's Best FriendDio's Best Friend
Cheat death. Consumed on use.
Upon death, this item will be consumed and you will return to life with 3 seconds of invulnerability. useless for this game mode if played in multiplayer. Special modifiers known as Augments may also (randomly) trigger upon the start of a wave.

Every 5th wave will be a "boss wave", having stronger and more numerous enemies, and, after completion, the Assessment Focus will begin moving to a new location in the current Environment, during which all players must follow it. At the beginning of every 10th wave, the enemies will be granted an item, similar to the Void FieldsVoid Fields (Hidden Realm)
Cosmic Prison
Hidden Realm accessible only through the Bazaar Between Time. Until the cell is stabilized, the Void Fields will constantly "suffocate" the player for a small percentage of their current health., in a Common-Common-Uncommon-Uncommon-Legendary cycle. Completing this wave will spawn a portal, transporting players to another Environment. After this, they must once again interact with the Assessment Focus to begin the first wave in that Environment. Since this counts as clearing a stage, and Malachite and Celestine elites start appearing from stage 6 onwards, they will not spawn before Wave 51.

The Environments have various modifications from their original versions, including missing sections and having additional Launch Pads to make traversing a stage less deadly to the Void Fog. The Environments can be selected in any random order, and each one can lead to any of the remaining ones, making the same Environment possible with only one intermediate in the between. There are a total of 7 Environments:

• Titanic PlainsTitanic Plains (Stage 1)

Due to the nature of the game mode, e.g., lack of Teleporter and drones, there are certain things that cannot occur:

• Other than the special portal to advance to the next Environment, no portals can spawn
• Family Events will never happen
• Items that activate during the teleporter event activate during the waves
• Certain items are blacklisted and cannot be obtained, even with the Artifact of Command:
  • Bundle of FireworksBundle of Fireworks

Interactables

Each Environment is given 600 credits to spend on interactable spawning (this is independent on the number of players, but they will still be halved with the Artifact of Sacrifice) it can select only from a limited pool of spawn cards. Unlike the original game mode, the spawn cards have no stage requirements, which means, for example, Legendary Chests can spawn as early as stage 1.

The category weights are:

• Chests: 45
• Shrines: 1
• Rare: 0.4
• Printers: 8
• Void Stuff: 3

This means that for each stage one should on average expect the following:

• 27 items (+10 from the wave rewards) (+10 more if one holds the Survivors of the Void - DLC Content

• 4-5 equipment
• 2 Void Cradles
• 6% chance for a Legendary chest and 10% for a Mili-Tech Printer to spawn

Do note that on the earlier stages one is very unlikely to accumulate enough gold, or have enough healing and mobility to traverse the void fog safely to fully loot a stage.

Waves

Each wave can trigger an Augment that can determine the monsters that spawn, as well as enable and disable artifacts. The rarity of item you receive can also be determined by an Augment.

Common Waves

This is likely a bug and it was supposed to grant a red orb instead. The reason for this suspicion is the internal name for the red orb implies it's reserved for special bosses and this augment exhibits many such traits, i.e., the wave description mentions a special reward, it's a singular powerful enemy, and it has small chance of occuring with a specific requirement.

Mechanics

This game mode uses its own difficulty coefficient, which is very similar to the one used in the normal game mode if one sets playerCount to 1. This makes the formula independent on the number of players:

The enemy level is calculated by the standard formula with setting playerCount to 1:

The enemy level cap is set to 9999, compared to 99 for the normal mode. It takes 213 waves to reach that on Monsoon difficulty.

On starting a wave, the Combat Director gets a total amount of credits equal to:

where baseCredits is the base amount of credits a wave can use. Common waves have 159 credits and boss waves 500 credits respectively.

There is an initial burst of credits awarded for immediate spawning and the rest are slowly released over a period of time.

where:

• immediateCreditsFraction is the fraction of total wave credits to grant initially. For common waves it's 0.15 and for boss waves 0.3. This is irrelevant for the Boss Augment of the Scavenger/Mithrix, as they don't rely on credits to spawn the explicit enemy monster.
• wavePeriodSeconds is the number of seconds over which the remaining credits will be awarded. For common waves it is 30 seconds and for boss waves 60 seconds. While this places a minimum duration per wave, realistically this is limited by how quickly the director can spend the accumulated credits.

The immediateMonsterCredits is also what the director will use to set the first spawn of the boss wave to a boss monster. Such a boss spawn will fail to materialise for at least the first couple of boss waves as there will be insufficient credits. Most notably, on wave 10 on Monsoon difficulty the director will initially have access to 599.19 credits, while the cheapest boss monster costs 600.

Since there can be a maximum of 30 enemies spawned at once, the director stops accumulating credits when it hits the limit and resumes when at least one enemy has been killed.

Version History

PC Patch v1.2.2.0

• Simulacrum
  • Waves now skip if nothing has spawned for 60 seconds
  • Waves now have a limit of how many credits can be given out at once
  • Waves will now spawn slightly more elites, and slightly less normal monsters
  • Artifact of Kin will always spawn monsters, even if they are considered ‘cheap’
  • Developer Notes: Simulacrum has a few edge cases where the director fails to spawn monsters - and as a result, the gamemode no longer advances. We added a few different checks to address situations where the game gets stuck. Not only that, but simulacrum tended to spam a lot more normal monsters instead of elites - so now, it’ll spawn a little bit more elite-y.
