Risk of Rain 2 added some new content as part of its anniversary. This guide will show players how they can unlock the Heretic character.
The Heretic can be fairly difficult to unlock in Risk of Rain 2. This guide will show players how to unlock them. Risk of Rain 2 is essentially a title to see how long you and your friends can survive against an onslaught of enemies and super challenging bosses. The longer the player lasts, the more challenging the game will become. Along the way, players will earn coins that they can use to purchase upgrades and gear. Each upgrade works differently for each class, but unlocking them is essential for surviving later round. As part of the game’s anniversary update, players can now play as the secret Heretic. This guide will show players how they can unlock them.
In order for players to unlock the Heretic, they will need to complete the Blockade Breaker challenge. To do this, players will need to defeat 15 bosses within a single run. While this doesn’t unlock the character directly, it does unlock the path to unlocking the character. Once this challenge is completed, 4 Heresy items will be made available for players to collect. Before the anniversary update, there were only 2 of them. This guide will show players how they can find every Heresy item in Risk of Rain 2.
How To Unlock The Heretic in Risk of Rain 2
After the player has completed the Blockade Breaker challenge, they will need to pick up all 4 Heresy Items. To do this, players will need 8 Lunar Coins to purchase them all. Players will also need to activate the Artifact of Command as this allows players to pick and choose which upgrade they get. Here are all 4 of the Heresy Items players need.
- Essence of Heresy: Adds a stack of Ruin whenever you damage an enemy. Target the enemy you want to detonate the Ruin stacks on and use Special Skill to deal massive damage to that target.
- Hooks of Heresy: Installs a projectile launcher in place of a secondary skill that fires rockets at the enemies. These rockets can go through the enemies and deal damage per second.
- Strides of Heresy: Utility skill is replaced with Shadowfade that makes you gain 30% movement speed and regain some of your health.
- Visions of Heresy: Equipping the Hungering Gaze skill will replace the primary skill. This item fires tracking shards that automatically detonate after a short interval.
Once the player has collected them all, they will now be playing as the Heretic. Enjoy tearing down tons of enemies at once.
Risk of Rain 2 is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Google Stadia.
