Eulogy Zero

Stat
 Effect chance

**Eulogy Zero** is a lunar item in Risk of Rain 2, added in the *Survivors of the Void* expansion.

When entering a new stage, there is a 5% (*+5% per stack*) chance for each item generated in the stage to be replaced with a random lunar item instead. This affects items in Chests, 3D Printers, Void Cradles, Void Potential Orbs, Rusted/Encrusted Lockboxes, the Teleporter reward, and the Cauldrons in the   Bazaar Between Time. It also affects any item dropped while the Artifact of Sacrifice is enabled, and the item dropped when using the . However, it does *not* affect Elite equipment drops.

Eulogy Zero also affects items given to monsters. This applies to the items  spawn with, the items given to monsters from the Artifact of Evolution, and the items monsters gain in the   Void Fields and Simulacrum.

## Notes

* Because items in chests are replaced when the stage is generated, a player who does not have Eulogy Zero may open a chest and find a lunar item if a teammate has Eulogy Zero. The same applies if an item drops from a monster while the Artifact of Sacrifice is enabled.
	+ This also means that, if picking up Eulogy Zero mid-stage from e.g. a Lunar Pod, it will not take effect until the next stage's loot is generated.
* Stage generation is *not* affected by luck, and so the Eulogy Zero will not change its item replacement chance with changes in luck.
* A 3D Printer that is affected by Eulogy Zero will print the displayed lunar item, but the rarity of the input item will be as though the printer was unaffected. For instance, a 3D Printer that printed white items but was affected will print 1 white item into the displayed lunar item.
* Eulogy Zero can cause Scavengers to spawn with lunar items, but it does *not* affect their scavenging skill that gives them additional items; no matter how many Eulogy Zero the player team has, a Scavenger can never pick up a lunar item after it spawns.
* The loot options generated by a Void Potential roll indepedently for replacement.

## Tips

* Eulogy Zero can make it easier to amass huge amounts of lunar items to feed into a Cleansing Pool to get many  and  (especially with the Artifact of Sacrifice), as the holder will find lunar items in the world naturally without having to pay lunar coins (or can print non-lunar items into lunar items). However, with high stacks of Eulogy Zero, it may be difficult to even get Pearls or Irradiant Pearls out of the Cleansing Pool to begin with, as they may be replaced by lunar items.
	+ If the player is lucky enough to find an Overgrown 3D Printer afterwards, Pearls and Irradiant Pearls can then be converted into high stacks of valuable boss items.
* Eulogy Zero also makes it easier to find the Heresy items, as they can also replace other items.
* Although the chance is small, in scenearios where enemies get items, i.e.,   Void Fields, Simulacrum, Artifact of Evolution, or , it is possible for enemies to gain dangerous lunar items like  or .
	+ With the Artifact of Evolution and Simulacrum, where item accruement is permanent, it is possible for monsters to gain more stacks of Eulogy Zero, which can have a snowball effect.
* Eulogy Zero cannot replace the items dropped after opening a Scavenger's sack, but it can replace the reward from defeating .

## Lore

```
A eulogy for the victors of spiritual warfare:
This is a message from me to you.

Though in life you will stumble, stammer and fall - though you will lose your loved ones and shed more tears than your eyes can muster - in time you can find peace on the planets you call home. A small creature waiting quietly for you, a smiling face from another stream, the silence as you breathe in the scent of a new season.
Let your heart remind you why you are here; let it tell you something new and something old. A mind remembers, but a heart knows.
I love me so that I can love you too -  I've wanted to disappear before, but I've always wanted to return to see you. The grass and the leaves, the warmth of the sun and the insects at night.

I promised myself, and I promise you:

A victory is the reward of cumulative loss, ever present as a light at the end of the tunnel. Even in death, there is the lingering promise of new life - forever doomed to repeat the cycle.

It's getting dark. If you get lost it's alright, for now. I hope you enjoy the shooting stars. Rest in peace.
```
