Description
Hidden Realm accessible only through the Bazaar Between Time. Until the cell is stabilized, the Void Fields will constantly "suffocate" the player for a small percentage of their current health.

The Void Fields are a Hidden Realm accessible only through the Bazaar Between TimeBazaar Between Time (Hidden Realm)
Hidden Realm: Bazaar Between Time
This stage serves as the shop in Risk of Rain 2. Players can purchase various Items with Lunar Coins or exchange items for higher-rarity ones in two crucibles.. It is a necessary location for the challenge ...To Be Left Alone, which unlocks the Survivor AcridAcridAcrid is a melee-range hybrid who uses powerful poisons to melt tanky enemies.

The Void Fields can only be accessed via the Null Portal, which is located in a hidden cave in the shaft beneath the Blue Portal in the Bazaar. The Null Portal is only accessible once per run.

Until the cell is stabilized, the Void Fields will constantly "suffocate" the player for a small percentage of their current health. This suffocation effect can kill the player.

Null Portal

The Void Fields can only be accessed once per run via the Null Portal located at the end of a path under the player in the Bazaar Between Time.

Breaching the Cell

To complete this Hidden Realm, players must activate and survive nine separate cell events. Each cell must be charged in a similar fashion to a Teleporter Event, and players are further incentivized to stand inside the cell since doing so protects them from the constant damage of the Void Fields. Cells have a radius of 20m, take one minute to charge, and only charge while players remain inside the cell.

Additionally, each consecutive cell event will result in either a new type of enemy appearing or a new item's effects being given to the current enemies, and each cell event alternates between introducing either an enemy or an item. The first two items given to the enemies are stacks of 5 Common items, the next two are stacks of 3 Uncommon items, and the last is 1 Legendary item. In total, by the ninth wave, there will be four different enemy types with five items.

Upon each cell event's completion, the players will each be granted a Void Potential orb and all enemies currently in the area will be killed. The first four events grant Common items, the subsequent four grant Uncommon items, and the final grants a Legendary item. The rewards are not tied to the items given to the enemies.

There is no obligation to complete every single cell event in order to exit the stage; the exit Null Portal is always available, allowing players to leave as soon as they want. Depending on the enemies that appear and the items they obtain, leaving early may be necessary to avoid losing a run. However, upon leaving, the Void Fields cannot be reentered for the remainder of the run.

Whether all cells have been cleared or not, exiting the Void Fields counts as finishing a stage in the underlying logic of the game. Since some Interactables, Monsters, and Family Events have a minimum stage restriction before they can spawn, it is possible to encounter something earlier than expected. For example, a ScavengerScavenger

Enemies

On every other consecutive stage, a new type of enemy will appear. The selection of enemies is based on the difficulty coefficient upon entering the level. The higher the difficulty coefficient, the more likely chance that a boss enemy will be selected instead of regular enemies. Every enemy can be selected to be an enemy in the Void Fields, with the exception of:

Logbook Entry

The Environment Log can be found beneath the stage, on a ledge with part of a large ring slightly protruding from it. The ledge is located roughly on the opposite side of the map from the long curved ramp that leads to the exit portal. For an easier time, try getting the log on Drizzle difficulty to mitigate the suffocating effect. Using LoaderLoaderThe Loader is a slow but powerful bruiser that can use her grappling hook to uniquely navigate the environment.

  • On-damage items such as RazorwireRazorwire

    Getting hit causes you to explode in a burst of razors, dealing 160% damage. Hits up to 5 (+2 per stack) targets in a 25m (+10m per stack) radius are triggered by the suffocation effect as well.
• The damage dealt per tick of suffocation damage is roughly equal to 1% of the player's current effective health, including Shields and Barrier.
• As of the Survivors of the Void Update, Repulsion Armor PlateRepulsion Armor Plate

  Heal while sprinting. Corrupts all Bustling Fungi.
  Heals for 2% (+2% per stack) of your health every second while sprinting. Corrupts all Bustling Fungi. can be used as regeneration sources between Vent openings.
  • Weeping Fungus in particular is extremely useful. Unlike Bustling Fungus, it can provide healing while moving, giving more time to move to the next Vent if movement speed is lacking, or if a player has some difficulty navigating the Void Fields.
• After a cell is charged, the next cell's location can be found by following the beacon of light it emits.
• If the Artifact of Kin is active, no additional monster types are added past the first cell event. This can greatly reduce or increase the Void Fields' difficulty, depending on what that monster type is.
  • While the Artifact of Kin is active, it is possible that no monster will be added for the first cell event. This results in no monsters spawning at all throughout the cell events.
• If the Artifact of Sacrifice is active, with enough skill or a strong enough build, items can be farmed here indefinitely, due to the high volume of enemies. This comes at some risk however, due to the monsters having items, and the suffocation effect slowly ticking health down if not mitigated.
  • If the player has a RazorwireRazorwire
    Retaliate in a burst of razors on taking damage.
    Getting hit causes you to explode in a burst of razors, dealing 160% damage. Hits up to 5 (+2 per stack) targets in a 25m (+10m per stack) radius and a few copies of Bustling FungusBustling Fungus
    Heal all nearby allies after standing still for 1 second.

    Rapidly heal outside of danger.
    Increases base health regeneration by +3 hp/s (+3 hp/s per stack) while outside of combat./other forms of passive healing and a little bit of luck, it is possible to turn Void Fields into an automatic farm. The rapid suffocation damage will trigger Razorwire for high amounts of damage, meaning standing on one of the central pillar islands by the edge will kill any ground creatures very rapidly and most likely before the enemy can even attack. Having multiple Razorwire stacks makes this viable for virtually all monsters.
• While many items aren't particularly threatening, monsters gaining certain items are made particularly dangerous:
  • Focus CrystalsFocus Crystal
    Deal bonus damage to nearby enemies.
    Increase damage to enemies within 13m by 20% (+20% per stack). will double the monsters' damage if they are sufficiently close to the player, making melee enemies considerably more threatening.
    • Similarly, Lens-Maker's GlassesLens-Maker's Glasses
      Gain 10% chance for hits to 'Critically Strike', dealing double damage.
      Your attacks have a 10% (+10% per stack) chance to 'Critically Strike', dealing double damage. effectively increase all monsters' damage by 50%, on average.
  • CrowbarsCrowbar
    Deal bonus damage to enemies above 90% health.
    Deal +75% (+75% per stack) damage to enemies above 90% health. are highly threatening, since attacks getting the bonus damage will be 4.75 times as strong: given how each cell necessitates the player to stay within their protective radii to stabilize them in the first place, this will make staying within them for any prolonged length of time a risky prospect (as their constants regenerative properties actually end up becoming more a liability than anything, bringing players back up to that 90% threshold for said bonus to constantly proc). Unless players happen to come in with some form of one-shot protection, they might find themselves in danger extremely quickly.
    • Should they happen to receive them while the Artifact of Glass is enabled, it is strongly advised to exit immediately.
  • Repulsion Armor PlatesRepulsion Armor Plate
    Receive flat damage reduction from all attacks.
    Reduce all incoming damage by 5 (+5 per stack). Cannot be reduced below 1. will be a minor annoyance to heavy-hitting Survivors like LoaderLoaderThe Loader is a slow but powerful bruiser that can use her grappling hook to uniquely navigate the environment.

    High damage hits also blasts enemies with runic ice. Recharges over time.
    Hits that deal more than 400% damage also blasts enemies with a runic ice blast, slowing them by 80% for 3s (+3s per stack) and dealing 250% (+250% per stack) TOTAL damage. Recharges every 10 seconds. can decimate players with ruthless efficiency. Since the monsters receive 3 copies of a given Band, an attack that activates Kjaro's Band will deal 10 times the normal amount, and Runald's, 8.5 times.
    • Kjaro's Band is particularly worrisome since its flame tornado deals damage over time, separate from the initial hit. If the main attack breaks the player's one-shot protection and activates Kjaro's Band, its follow-up attack is almost sure to finish them off. Runald's Band does not have this danger since its bonus attack happens simultaneously with the activating hit.
  • Should the monsters receive both MedkitsMedkit

    Store 100% (+100% per stack) of healing as Soul Energy. After your Soul Energy reaches 10% of your maximum health, fire a skull that deals 250% of your Soul Energy as damage., it is advised to exit immediately. Any monster that is not repeatedly damaged or quickly killed will heal itself and trigger N'kuhana's Opinion multiple times. This is especially dangerous early in the game, when the Survivor usually hasn't snowballed into big, consistent DPS, but may have enough crowd control to damage monsters they can't get to or kill fast enough.
  • If monsters gain Unstable Tesla CoilUnstable Tesla Coil

    Fire out lightning that hits 3 (+2 per stack) enemies for 200% base damage every 0.5s. The Tesla Coil switches off every 10 seconds. on the final cell, it is highly advised to leave via the exit portal as soon as possible.
