How To Complete the Scavenger Hunt in Risk of Rain Returns (Gold Rank)

Like other roguelike titles, Risk of Rain Returns offers players a large amount of content, including new Survivors, items, and artifacts. Also, in addition to the challenges of the main game, you can test yourself in the Providence Trials, which will force you to use the players in all their skills. For example, to get a Gold Rank in Scavenger Hunt in Risk of Rain Returns, you must complete the challenge within a limited time.

How To Get Gold Rank for the Scavenger Hunt

All Providence Trials, although short, are quite complex challenges. And undoubtedly, one of the most difficult among them all in Risk of Rain Returns is the Scavenger Hunt. To complete it, players must defeat the Scavenger within 5 minutes, playing as the Enforcer. But in addition to the boss, robots and other enemies will also be waiting for you, spawning endlessly. And you might even be able to complete it on the first try. But this is not enough for Gold Rank.

So, to get a Gold Rank for Scavenger Hunt in Risk of Rain Returns, you must complete the challenge in less than 3:30 minutes. In other words, when you see 1:30 on the timer, you will no longer be able to get the Rank you need. Therefore, you will need several attempts to develop the right strategy. Or you can just use our guide.

How To Complete the Scavenger Hunt Trial

You will start the challenge playing as an Enforcer with 200 MAX HP, which does not regenerate, and a Key Card and Shrapnel Grenade as weapons. Also, all chests on the level contain Drones that will help you survive. And here’s what you have to do to complete the Scavenger Hunt in Risk of Rain Returns:

1. First, move to the left side of the map and climb to the top of the platforms.
2. Then go to the locked door in the center and use the Key Card to open it. This way, you will get a Healing Drone, Arms Race items, and a few seconds of bonus time.
3. After this, your goal is to farm gold from enemies and open chests for new Drones.
4. Try to kill the Elder Lemurian, as it drops another Key Card. You can use it to open the second locked door or the door leading to the boss.
5. When the timer says exactly 3:00, you must go down the vine and get to the Scavenger boss. Along the way, you can take one of the items. We recommend that you choose The Backup.
6. Finally, going down to the boss, use all your skills to complete the battle as quickly as possible.
7. You can get a Gold Rank on your first try if you are lucky. But if not, try again, and you will succeed.
