If you like Risk of Rain Returns and are a fan of fantasy barbarians, you should unlock Miner as soon as possible. Being the personification of barbarian rage, this character sets himself on fire to increase damage or enhance special attack skills. This character accumulates heat by causing damage to enemies, which is subsequently used for Scorching enemies. You must balance Scorching and gaining Heat to find the sweet spot of consistent DPS. However, this is just a matter of practice, and we are here to tell you how to unlock the Miner in Risk of Rain Returns.
Risk of Rain Returns: All Steps To Unlock the Miner
To unlock the Miner in Risk of Rain Returns, you must reach Stage Four, visit the Magma Barracks, and defeat the hidden boss. Here’s how to do it step by step.
- First, go to Magma Barracks using any character with maximum health or a high regeneration rate. We also recommend using Hopoo Feather, which will come in handy later.
- Next, explore the area and get to the very bottom right corner of the map.
- Once in a large lava lake, you must quickly jump to the right into a narrow passage under the rock.
- Here, you are locked in a lava corridor, and there is no way to avoid damage, so use Hopoo Feather and try to run through the tunnel, taking minimal damage. Next, a boss awaits you, so health is worth its weight in gold.
- When you reach the other side, you will meet a mini-boss, killing which you will automatically unlock the Miner.
It is worth noting that the boss is relatively weak, so you are free to use any methods to win. Additionally, if you can use more than two jumps at a time, you can jump onto the cliff to the right of the boss to collect the bonus Environmental log for this location.
To sum it up, here’s how you can unlock the Miner in Risk of Rain Returns:
- Get to Magma Barracks.
- Go down to the lower right corner of the location.
- Go through the lava tunnel.
- Defeat the mini-boss.
Risk of Rain Returns is now available for PC and Nintendo Switch.
