Player problem
Players lose time in Risk of Rain 2 when lunar items advice is not tied to unlocks, route state, patch state and source evidence.
Lunar Items now has a source-backed checklist, entity table and decision flow focused on treat lunar pickups as explicit tradeoffs.
Lunar Items starts with the current blocker
The page is built around treat lunar pickups as explicit tradeoffs, 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 Shaped Glass is available.
- Compare Gesture of the Drowned with the current player goal.
- Mark Transcendence 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 Lunar Items.
- Keep unsafe or cheat-like instructions out of the page.
