Player problem
Players lose time in Risk of Rain 2 when eclipse runs advice is not tied to unlocks, route state, patch state and source evidence.
Eclipse Runs now has a source-backed checklist, entity table and decision flow focused on scale difficulty without breaking fundamentals.
Eclipse Runs starts with the current blocker
The page is built around scale difficulty without breaking fundamentals, so the player can act before reading every row.
- Identify which of the first three entries matches the save.
- Check whether the source trail confirms the route.
- Do one change, then return to the table if the blocker remains.
What to verify before changing the route
Risk of Rain 2 routes can break when unlocks, DLC, patches or mods are assumed instead of verified.
- Confirm Eclipse 1 is available.
- Compare Eclipse 2 with the current player goal.
- Mark Eclipse 3 as done, blocked or skipped.
How this page should be expanded next
The current standard is source-backed and useful, but future updates should add screenshots, route clips and deeper per-entry notes.
- Add one image for each high-volume player problem.
- Attach update notes when a patch changes Eclipse Runs.
- Keep unsafe or cheat-like instructions out of the page.
