Part 11

Discover Rogue Legacy 2's Hyperion's Ring, Charon's Obol, and powerful Skill Tree combinations. Learn how to maximize your gold gain.

Items:

• Hyperion's Ring: This item allows one revive, spawning you back where you died with 25% of your total HP and all your equipment and gold. This is a single-use item. The Ring will remain until you hit 0 HP or pray at another shrine.
• Charon's Obol: This item allows Charon to ignore his usual fee, letting you keep the gold you had. This is suggested to be used if you are a few thousand coins away from another upgrade. It is usually not very useful in the later stages of the game. The Obol will remain until you choose to talk to Charon or pray at another shrine.

Combinations:

• Couple the Royal Cape with 5 Sky Runes for a total of 4.8 seconds of flight.
• Couple the Slayer Equipment (or Imperial Equipment) with the Assassin for an 85% critical chance.
• Couple the Retribution or Slayer armor with 5 Retribution runes to make enemies regret attacking you.
• Couple the Dark Equipment and a Royal Cape along with 5 Vault or Sprint runes for unstoppable mobility.
• Couple the Dark Equipment with 5 Balance, Vampirism, or Siphon runes to be a tank, spam spells, or both.
• Couple the Royal Sword, Royal Helm, Royal Chest, Holy Limbs, and a cape of your choice (Guardian or Royal suggested) for the best raw stats, providing high armor, health, mana, and magic damage.
• Couple a Spelunker, Sage Equipment, and 5 Bounty Runes for a 130% bonus to base gold.
• Couple a Hokage with 5 Haste runes to break the speed of sound.
• Couple a Dragon with 5 Haste runes for the best mobility in the game, especially with Dwarfism.
