How To Escape The Planetarium Risk Of Rain 2

Alright, friend, so you've found yourself in the Planetarium in Risk of Rain 2, huh? Feeling a bit like a shooting star about to burn up? Don't worry, we've all been there. That place is basically a cosmic disco ball of danger. But fear not! Escaping this celestial trap is totally doable, even if you’re more of a black hole than a Supernova in terms of skill (we all start somewhere!).
So, let's break down how to safely and successfully eject yourself from the Planetarium before you become space dust.
Understanding the Threat: It's Not Just Pretty Lights
First things first, let's acknowledge the elephant in the room – or rather, the Void Reaver lurking in the simulated solar system. The Planetarium, unlike some of the more chill environments like Abandoned Aqueduct, is teeming with powerful enemies. You're basically walking into a monster rave.
Must Read
Expect to see: tons of those annoying jellyfish (Wisp), Lemurians with anger issues, and of course, the Void Reavers, who are basically the bouncers of this intergalactic nightclub. And they are not exactly known for their leniency. Knowing your enemies is half the battle!
Step 1: Gear Up (Before You Go In… If Possible!)
This might seem obvious, but it’s crucial. You wouldn't walk into a lion's den armed with a feather duster, would you? (Okay, maybe some of you would, but that's a story for another time).

Prioritize mobility items like the Hopoo Feather, Paul's Goat Hoof, or even just a couple of Energy Drinks. You’ll need to be able to dodge those Void explosions and those pesky jellyfish projectiles. Anything that gives you more "zoom zoom" is a big plus. We’re talking like, a lot of goat hooves.
Damage is king, of course! But don't neglect survivability. Some healing items like Medkit, or Leeching Seed can really turn the tide of battle. It is worth noting that some consider it to be worth it to acquire Topaz Brooch for its shield.
Step 2: Finding the Teleporter: The Cosmic Key
Okay, you're geared up (as much as possible), and now you need to find the teleporter. This is your ticket out of this simulated hellscape, your warp drive to freedom. It can spawn in a variety of locations within the Planetarium, so keep your eyes peeled!

Look for areas with elevated platforms or hidden corners. The teleporter likes to play hide-and-seek, so don't be afraid to explore. Just… try not to get exploded while you're at it.
Step 3: Activate and Survive: Dance of Death
You found the teleporter! Huzzah! But the fun's just beginning. Now you need to activate it and survive the onslaught until it's charged. This is where your mobility and damage really come into play. The teleporter charges faster based on the difficulty it is, so keep this in mind.

Focus fire on the Void Reavers. They are the biggest threat, and their void explosions can one-shot you if you're not careful. Strafe, dodge, jump, whatever it takes to avoid those blasts!
Use the environment to your advantage. The Planetarium has plenty of platforms and pillars you can use for cover. Just don't get cornered!
Keep moving! Seriously, standing still in the Planetarium is basically asking to become a monster snack.

Step 4: Freedom! (And Loot!)
The teleporter is charged! Congratulations, you've survived the cosmic rave and are ready to move on! Grab your loot (because everyone loves loot), and get ready for the next stage.
Remember, the Planetarium is tough, but it's not impossible. With the right gear, a bit of skill, and a whole lot of luck, you can escape its clutches and continue your adventure. And hey, even if you do get turned into space dust, just remember… you can always try again! That’s the beauty of Risk of Rain 2, right? Endless replayability… and endless opportunities to get absolutely wrecked by space monsters. But don't worry, we believe in you!
Now go out there and conquer the cosmos, one Planetarium escape at a time!
