Risk of Rain 2 Stages & Maps Guide — Every Environment in Order
Every Risk of Rain 2 stage and map: the full environment list in order (including DLC stages like Siren's Call, Abyssal Depths, Sundered Grove, and Planetarium), how stage progression and looping work, and tips for each environment.
Risk of Rain 2 Stages & Maps Guide — Every Environment in Order
The short version: Risk of Rain 2 has ~20+ environments in 2026 (base game + both DLCs). Progression follows a set structure — 3 stages, then a boss stage, then the next loop tier — and the game "loops" (restarts at higher difficulty) until you reach the final stage. DLC stages like Siren's Call (Seekers of the Storm) and hidden ones like the Planetarium add variety.
This guide lists every stage and explains how progression works.
How Stage Progression Works
Risk of Rain 2's structure (not random — it's a ladder):
- Stages 1-3: Three random stages from the current loop's pool (difficulty scales up).
- Stage 4 (boss stage): A teleporter with a boss — this is the mini-boss stage (the "stage 4" boss fight is the classic pacing beat).
- Stage 5: Another normal stage.
- Final stage (Commencement): The endgame stage with the final boss (Mithrix) — after you collect the two key items.
- Looping: If you skip the final stage (via the Sky Meadow portal or survive), the game loops — stages 1-3 repeat at higher difficulty with tougher scaling, forever.
"How to loop in risk of rain 2": after stage 5, instead of going to Commencement, enter the Celestial portal (at Sky Meadow) — or simply continue past the final stage in the looped route. Looping = higher difficulty + more items + more challenge. It's the endgame.
Base-Game Stage List
| Stage # | Stage | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Distant Roost / Titanic Plains | The starting stages |
| 2 | Abandoned Aqueduct | The sulfur pools, frog boss |
| 3 | Wetland Aspect / Sirens Call (post-update) | Wetland + DLC Siren's Call both appear here |
| 4 | Rallypoint Delta / Abyssal Depths | The boss stages (Mithrix's early presence) |
| 5 | Sky Meadow / Sundered Grove | The penultimate stages |
| Final | Commencement | The final stage — Mithrix boss fight |
Abyssal Depths (base game) is one of the stage-4 options. Sundered Grove is a stage-5 option. Both are classic, dangerous environments.
DLC Stages (Seekers of the Storm)
Seekers of the Storm added six new environments, including:
- Siren's Call — the DLC's signature stage: a desert-wasteland with a giant mechanical siren, new enemies, and the DLC's story beats. (Searches for "sirens call ror 2" mean this stage.)
- Other DLC environments slot into the stage ladder alongside the base stages (the wiki's Seekers of the Storm page lists all six by name).
Hidden / Special Stages
- The Planetarium — a hidden stage (accessible via specific conditions, tied to the Void/lunar content) with its own boss and rewards. "Planetarium ror 2" searches mean this secret stage.
- Void Fields — a special challenge stage (Survivors of the Void content).
- Bazaar Between Time — the shop stage (newt altars, lunar coins, the Squid Polyp for REX).
Tips for Every Environment
- Speed matters: Time scales difficulty — loot fast, don't dawdle.
- Stage 4 is the danger spike: The boss stage kills more runs than anything. Enter it geared (at least a few damage items) and use the environment's cover.
- Siren's Call / DLC stages have unique hazards: read the stage-specific mechanics (new enemy types) before farming them for unlocks.
- The Planetarium is high-risk/high-reward: bring a strong build; the hidden boss is brutal.
