Risk of Rain Returns: How to Get Gold in Perilous Descent

In the game Risk of Rain Returns, some small but hard-to-achieve challenges known as providence trials can be found. They become available as soon as you unlock a new survivor. However, these challenges may end up with dissatisfaction. Let us warn you, they take work to achieve.

But don’t worry. This guide will illuminate the secrets of completing one of the challenges in Risk of Rain Returns: Perilous Descent in gold rank.

How to Get Gold in Perilous Descent

The Perilous Descent trial is designed to teach the player the Scrap Cube ability through a challenging parkour. With the Scrap Cube ability, you can consume a small amount of scrap to turn it into a scrap cube.

This cube can be pushed and shattered to deal 50% damage. Sounds nice, right? But to obtain it, you must first complete the trial. It requires you to reach the bottom with more than 100 gold. And remember, no jumping!

It would help to use your ability since you can’t jump in this parkour. Consume the scraps and make a scrap cube to fill the gaps and get through the lava without burning.

You can also push the cube while you are on it. Who needs jumping anyway? From there, use the rope to get down.

You can find the gold in the containers. Travel around the map until you collect enough gold.

Solve the puzzles using scrap cubes and avoid accidentally hitting the jump button. Take a deep breath and think before moving; you should avoid getting stuck.

You might need to repeat the same steps more than once to reach some containers; however, once you get used to the trial, it will become easier to see the route.

You can reach the bottom of the cave if you collect enough gold and don’t die due to non-health regeneration. Congratulations!
