Risk of Rain 2 is no stranger to odd ways of unlocking characters, much like its two-dimensional predecessor. For example, the only way to go about unlocking a particular melee-focused daredevil is to get yourself killed!
Seasoned players of Risk of Rain 2 will surely have come across a so-called Celestial Portal playing the game. If so, they'll know that it hides a moderately difficult platforming course at the end of which is an ominous Obelisk to interact with. Here's what 'obliterate yourself from existence' means in ROR2!
How to Obliterate Yourself From Existence in Risk of Rain 2</h2>
Risk of Rain 2 obliterate yourself from existence is a message that you get if you manage to draw very close to the humongous Obelisk that resides in the randomly-appearing Celestial Portal, at the end of its platforming course.
Hitting the 'interact' key when the message appears will prompt a quick confirmation of your imminent obliteration, and then your character will die, making short work of that particular run. However, doing so will also permanently unlock the ninja Mercenary character for use, so it's worth reaching the Obelisk at least once!
Now that you know how to unlock the Mercenary in ROR2, be sure to check out our up-to-date guide on how to get your paws on all the other characters, too! Don't forget to check out how to farm Lunar Coins as well.
