Learn how to efficiently farm 160 gold in Risk of Rain Returns. This guide covers optimal strategies and item synergies to maximize your gold acquisition per run.
Walkthrough
- 1Objective: Accumulate 160 gold.
- 2Strategy: Focus on completing stages quickly to increase the in-game timer, which directly correlates with gold earned per enemy defeated.
- 3Item Prioritization: Prioritize items that increase gold gain (e.g., Gold-Plated Gun, various shrine-related items) or allow for faster clearing of enemies and stages (e.g., items that increase damage, attack speed, or mobility).
- 4Stage Selection: Choose stages that are known for having a high density of enemies or lucrative chests.
- 5Early Game: Aim to find at least one gold-boosting item early on to snowball your earnings.
- 6Mid-Game: Continue to clear stages efficiently, utilizing any new items to speed up combat and exploration.
- 7Late Game: By this point, with a good build, reaching 160 gold should be achievable by completing a few more stages or revisiting earlier ones if possible.
Tips
- The Gold-Plated Gun is a crucial item for this specific goal, as it converts a percentage of your current gold into damage. The more gold you have, the more damage you deal, allowing for faster enemy clearing and thus more gold.
- Activating shrines, especially the Shrine of Chance, can sometimes yield significant gold bonuses or items that help in gold acquisition.
- Be mindful of the difficulty scaling. While you want to earn gold, don't let the increasing difficulty overwhelm you to the point where you can no longer progress or die.
- Consider playing with characters that have high mobility or area-of-effect damage to clear enemies faster.
- If playing multiplayer, coordinate with teammates to focus on gold generation or efficient stage clearing.
