This mod adds support to Risk of Rain 2 for playing as an Archipelago client. For more information on Archipelago head over to https://archipelago.gg.
Multiplayer compatible. Be sure to scale up your YAML settings if you play in multiplayer. All players require the mod in multiplayer.
Classic mode is the original way to play Archipelago in Risk of Rain 2.
The Risk of Rain 2 players send checks by causing items to spawn in-game. Currently, this includes opening chests, defeating bosses, using scrappers and 3D printers, opening lunar pods, and accessing terminals. An item check is only sent out after a certain number of items are picked up. This count is configurable in the player's YAML.
Explore mode is an alternative way to play Archipelago in Risk of Rain 2.
The Risk of Rain 2 player sends checks from doing different actions such as opening chests, beating shrines, defeating scavengers, finding radio scanners, and finding newt altars. These locations divided evenly across the different stages and can only be completed in their respective stages.
Environments will be in the item pool, and you will need to unlock them to progress towards your goal.
The rules for locations are as follows:
Explore mode also attempts to help against being stuck in RNG hell; the teleporter will favor environments that have more checks remaining.
Achieving victory is defined as beating Mithrix, defeating the Twisted Scavenger, or beating the Voidling (DLC enabled). (This is both true for Classic and Explore modes.)
Alternatively you can change the Final Stage Death is Win setting to enable Obliteration ending as well as if you die in the Commencement map (the moon)/ The Planetarium (DLC enabled)/ Hidden Realm: A Momemt, Whole (limbo).
Due to the nature of roguelike games, you can possibly die and lose your place completely. This is mitigated partly by the free grants of Dio's Best Friend
but it is still possible to lose. If you do lose, you can reconnect to the Archipelago server and start a new run. The server will send you the items you have
earned thus far, giving you a small boost to the start of your run.
To create a YAML please goto Archipelago RoR2 Settings
I assume you already have an Archipelago server running. Instructions on how to run a server are available at Setup Guide.
