Leaderboard FAQ

  1. Where is the category for Monsoon? Risk of Rain 1 has one.

Unlike in RoR1, here the difficulty level simply does not matter for any category. Most it'd change is you die easier on the first stage, which you would already be resetting plenty even on Drizzle. As such, separating difficulties is pointless. However, there is nothing stopping you from running on Monsoon if you like.

  1. Can we add <insert category here>?

A lot of the ideas people have are either trivial, like a "die as fast as possible" category, not different enough from existing categories, or simply too arbitrary to warrant tracking. However if you believe your category idea is interesting enough to be tracked, do a run of it first, then bring it up. If people like it, it will get added to either the main boards or the category extensions page.

  1. How do you have so many Lunar Coins? Are you cheating?

As is common in roguelike speedruns, we allow using an edited savefile to skip grinding for coins and set up unlocks to get optimal odds of getting the items we want. This however only applies to the savefile itself. Modding the game is not allowed for leaderboard submissions.

Vanilla runs in Gauntlet

Seeing as most everyone was for this change, the Gauntlet category will now accept runs performed on an unmodded version of the game. Using the mods is still allowed, with the Fogbound Lagoon stage now being optional - allowed, but not required.

Vanilla runs still submit their IGT from the results
