Several Survivors inRisk of Rain Returnshave unique Strange Prism skins that can be obtained by finding their particular Prism, hidden deep within one of the stages of the game. Artificer’s Strange Prism, located somewhere on the first stage, Dried Lake, allows her to wear her original colors from Risk of Rain 2.
If you want to outfit Artificer closer to how she appears in Risk of Rain 2, you’ll definitely want to get this skin. Below, we’ll take a step-by-step look at where to find the Strange Prism to unlock this skin. A video guide is also available with the exact path to take.
Where To Find Artificer’s Strange Prism
Artificer’s Strange Prism is found on a variation of the first stage,Dried Lake. Before you can get the Prism, you’ll need to actuallyhave Artificer unlocked, which is done by visitingten unique stagesat least once.
Her Prism is found on the stage variation with three columns submerged underground on theleft side of the map, as well asthree consecutive geysersgoing up, also found on the left side of the map.
If you’re having trouble getting this stage to appear,turn off the “New Stages” optionin the rules before a new run, as this will limit the available variation options.
Once you’ve found this stage, we recommendclearing out the teleporter event first, before you start trying to get the Prism. There are a few spots where, if you fall, you will beteleported back up to the surfaceand have torestart from the beginning. Clearing out the enemies from the teleporter will make the whole experiencemuch less difficult.
You’ll needat least one Hopoo Featherto get to the Prism, but we recommend also having thePhoton Jetpack, as this will make things much easier. Use theArtifact of Commandto ensure you get these items. TheArtifact of Sacrificecan also come in handy, allowing you tofarm for item dropsonce you’ve found the correct stage variation.
After clearing the teleporter on the correct stage, you’re now ready to begin. Proceed to theleft side of the mapand find thethree geysers. You’ll need tojump up these three geysers, then land on thesmall platform with the fishing skeletonat the leftmost side of the map.
Land here, then climb down the pillarclosest to the edge of the screen. Now, move to the left,off the screen, and you’ll start falling. As you fall,move to the right, or else you’ll fall off the map and have to start again. Doing this will land you in a room below the ground of the map with three large columns.
Now, head to therightandjump up to the hidden ledgecircled in the image above. Be careful, as the tile just after this hidden ledge in the walldoes not have a platform, meaning you’ll fall down unless youjump over it. Continue over this gap into the next room. Here, stand on top of thesmall postandmove downto start climbing down into ahidden passage.
In this passage,move to the righta short distance, thenjump into the open room above, either using your Hopoo Feather or Jetpack.Continue to the rightfor a while until you come up to another open room. Here, instead of going inside the room,jump above itand move to the right until youdrop into thesecond roomnext to it.
Move to the left part of this room and you’lldrop under the floor. Now, you’ll need to carefullyjump to the left and then right, into the small room with theskeleton fisherbelow. Falling here will teleport you back to the surface, forcing you to restart.
After landing here,continue to the rightand down a short distance, and the Strange Prism will spawn. Use yourFeatherorJetpackto fly up and reach it, unlocking the Artificer’s Stasis skin.
Artificer’s Strange Prism Skin - Stasis
Artificer’s Strange Prism skin trades her light brown ENV suit for a bright white one, mirroring the character’s original appearance in Risk of Rain 2. While the difference between her default skin and this unlockable skin, called Stasis, is subtle, fans of the Survivor in Risk of Rain 2 will definitely appreciate this skin.
