Introduction to Chapter 7
Well hey there!Wanna know a good weapon?Your surrounding.

..

What do you mean,ground kills no one?Obviously it does!Died of fall damage so often,you'll never change my mind!Now get the ♥♥♥♥ outta my lawn!

Yep,this old man's grumpy.I'll explain you everything you need to know about the maps myself then!

By the way,we'll post some map overview pictures whenever we can get our hand on some,but we won't be able to get pictures for every maps sadly!
First Level:Desolate Forest or Dried Lake
Desolate Forest

Ground Zero

Enemies:Lemurian,Rock Golem,Wisp,Greater Wisp,Jellyfish

Bosses:Colossus,Magma Worm,Wandering Vagrant,Scavenger

Specialities:None

Might be the first map you'll play.The only big threats here are Greater Wisp and Rock Golem for their damage output.It's got a lot of ropes and you'll need to use them to travel through the different heights as this map requires you to go up and down a lot.

Dried Lake

Ground Zero

Enemies:Lemurians, Wisps, Greater Wisps, Sand Crabs, and Jellyfish

Bosses:Colossus, Wandering Vagrant, Magma Worm, and Scavenger

Specialities:None

Dried lake mainly consists of the upper part of the docks, and the bed of the now dried lake.It has uneven terrain and will require you to jump or climb ropes often.It's the first level alongside Desolate Forest.
Second Level:Damp Cavern or Sky Meadow
Damp Cavern

Fungal Heaven

Enemies:Lemurian,Greater Wisp,Spitter,Black Imp,Mushrum

Bosses:Magma Worm,Ancient Wisp,Imp Overlord,Scavenger

Specialities:None

Normal map,with nothing really special to say about it.It's a big one with lots of jump boosters,especially on the right where you must chain them to reach the high area.Health shrines are really common here too,so use them but not too much because you might just die because a black imp teleported on you while you were taking your item with Command artifact!

Sky Meadow

Field of Sprites

Enemies: Rock Golem, Greater Wisp, Jellyfish, Child, Black Imp, Parents

Bosses: Ancient Wisp, Colossus, Magma Worm, Scavenger

Specialties: None

Sky meadow has an interesting spot for the artifact. On the left side of the map, there is a patch of dirt that can only be destroyed by explosions, so it can be killed by anything from Huntress' Cluster Bomb, to Mortar shots. Break through unlocks the Spite artifact.
Third Level:Ancient Valley(+Boar Beach!) or Sunken Tomb
Ancient Valley

Frozen Tundra

Number of variants:2

Enemies:Rock Golem,Black Imp,Clay Man,Bighorn Bison,Mechanical Spider

Bosses:Colossus,Imp Overlord,Ifrit,Scavenger

Specialities:None

First map where you'll find the terrific Mechanical Spiders..The map consists mostly of a bridge at the top (Sometimes broken,sometimes not) and ground under it.The fall that ou get by falling from the broken bridge is a good one,but doesn't deal that much fall damage so do it without fear.You can also find Boar Beach there,and that's the only moment when you'll be able to reach another map without a teleporter.

Sunken Tomb

Underwater Catacombs

Enemies: Rock Golem, Sand Crab, Black Imp, Whorl, Clay Man

Bosses: Colossus, Wandering Vagrant, Imp Overlord, Scavenger, Acrid

Specialties: Water

This map is very unique. From drowning (twice) to reach an artifact, to fighting the Acrid inthe top right, this map has everything.

Boar Beach

Simpler Times

Enemies:Toxic Beast Minion,Armored Boar,Lemurian,Sand Crab,Mushrum

Bosses:Toxic Beast,Scavenger

Specialities:Armored Boar

Well,Easter egg map.Really tiny,and is filled with Toxic Beast Minions on the lower part.You'll find only 1 Armored Boar here,and he'll drop the T-Shirt,which gets your defense up.After killing everyone,activate the teleporter which doesn't have a timer here and you'll go back to Ancient Valley.

the bush you need to interact to enter the place is located top left of the Ancient Valley,and looks like this:

Fourth level:Magma Barracks or Hive Cluster!
Magma Barracks

The Core

Enemies:Wisp,Bighorn Bison,Mechanical Spider,Evolved Lemurian

Bosses:The Direseeker(Miner boss),Cremator,Toxic Beast,Scavenger

Specialities:Lava

Hot hot hot!This place is a nightmare to melee classes,with the lava,Cremator,Toxic Beast and other things.Lava hurts a lot over time so keep an eye out for your health as it's going to chip at it quickly,especially with glass artifact.Some variants have less lava on the left side so it doesn't hurt (Phew!) but the right side will always have lava,meaning you gotta watch out.Dangerous place for melee,and even ranged will need to watch for the lava.

Picture:








Hive Cluster

Deep Undergrowth

Enemies: Spitter, Gup, Parent, Evolved Lemurian, Archaic Wisp

Bosses: Toxic Beast, Imp Overlord, Scavenger

Specialties: Slowing Vines

This level, along with the artifact, has the bloated survivor, which is in the bottom right of the map on some variants. The top right has the Command artifact, which is a very important artifact, and can be found by jumping along invisible vines that sometimes flash.
Fifth Level:Temple of the Elders
Temple of the Elders

Holy Grounds

Number of Variants:2

Enemies:Black Imp,Clay Man,Temple Guard,Elder Lemurian,Archer Bug

Bosses:Toxic Beast,Imp Overlord,Scavenger

Specialities:First level with Divine Teleporter

This level is the first to have the Elder Lemurians,very dangerous foes.Archer bugs are also the new annoying enemies,and the Temple Guards are your new tanky opponent.Introduces a lot of new enemies,and it's the first place where you'll find the Divine Teleporter,letting you go to the Risk of Rain level or reroll through level.Luckily,if you reroll,you'll have Divine teleporters every levels,so you can decide to go to the final level only when you're ready!

Pictures:











Final Level:Risk of Rain
Risk of Rain

UES Contact Light

Enemies:Clay Man,Temple Guard,Elder Lemurian,Young Vagrant and Archaic Wisp

Bosses:Imp Overlord,Scavenger,Wandering Vragrant,Providence and Glided Wurms

Specialities:Terminals (Mini-teleporters),Keycards and the final boss,activable objects

Final level!This is a special one.In this one,no teleporters,but 4 cargos.To enter each cargo,you'll need to activate a terminal,and it'll do a teleporter-like event that lasts 30 seconds.After the event is done,the doors will open.

The map is shaped with 4 cargos pilled on each others to the left,and in the middle,a long road that has 4 rooms over and under it.Finally,the end of the "Road" leads to the boss room.

Beside the cargos,there's 4 rooms aroudn the "road" which all are going to need a keycard to activate (Unless the storage room which has a broken window that you can go through).In those rooms,there's going to be themed chest or activable items,like the Gauss Cannon,Orange Chest or Hospital bed.Once activating it,they'll teleport to the boss fight zone and stay there.

Orange chest gives a use item
Gauss Cannon deals tremendeous damage
Hospital Bed heals you
All of those items will have a long cooldown after use!

And this is how Chapter 7 ends

Note from Xgpmcnp:This guide took longer to get out because we first took a 1 day pause then the IRL stopped Coffeechipmunk from working.We hope delays like those won't happen again!

Note from Coffeechipmunk:
Well, the day break was fun, back to work!

You can use any parts of this guide anywhere you wish,and you do not need to mention my name,even though it'd be appreciated.Just don't claim it as yours,since that's a ♥♥♥♥♥ slap on my face and my work.

Yeah, mostly random drops.

Also, another question.
How do you get the keycards?
I know there's one in a Golden Container, but do the rest just randomly drop?
