How to farm monster logs without fighting
By ScienceDiscoverer
The way to easily farm monster logs that you've missed. "Legal cheat", kind of game abuse, if you like. No need to shoot or fight, or dodge - just stand in 1 place and enjoy the farm! Not to mention, final boss dies in less than 10 seconds! Due to very small chance of monster logs drop this method still can be very time consuming, especially for boss logs. Still 1000 times faster than starting game again or replaying same levels many times.

1. Setup the Game
1.1. Get Sniper
I think its the best hero for GLASS artifact in early-mid game while you will be still vulnerable and farm essential items. But you can choose another hero if you like. You can even start picking up our "cheat item" right in the beginning of a game if you'll take melee character.
1.2. Set difficulty to "Monsoon"
Monsoon will increase the chance of Monster Logs drops, as well as provide much more enemies to farm HP with Infusion and Monster Logs too, further increasing the chances.
1.3. Get GLASS, SACRIFICE, COMMAND artifacts
If you don't have it, get it first (you should have if you are trying to farm few remaining bosses' monster logs). GLASS is pure cheat, especially for Sniper, and will enable you to farm essential items fast. SACRIFICE will eliminate Monsoon expensive chests problem and let you farm HUNDREDS of items later. Also Monsoon seems to increase not only Monster Logs drop chance, but also ordinary items drop chance too! And, last but not least, COMMAND will let you get 400+ stack of ultimate cheat item and enjoy the farm!
1.4. Press "Play" button

2. Survive first 2-3 levels and farm items
2.1. Get Goat Feet first
As in title, if monster drops white crate - get few Goat Feet untill you are comfortable with your SANIC speed. Move speed is very important in the early game to not get yourself oneshoted by some Lemurian or Jellyfish.
2.2. First green chest - Infusion
Nuff said. You will need this to survive early-mid game. You will get +500% bonus DMG from GLASS, but also tones of HP! Cheating? Yes, its cheating :D
2.3. Next 2-3 green chests - Guardian's Heart
Again, to not get oneshoted. After this, you can get what you want from green chests. Feathers for mobility could be useful. Also Chargefield Generator could be usefull for genosiding monsters in the late game!
2.4. Get Ultimate Cheat Item
After you get enough Hoofs for you're SANIC needs, get only Barbed Wire from white chests. Yes, combined with GLASS artifact this is the best and most OP item in game. No red items may match it's might! You need much of them, though.
3. PROFIT!!!
3.1. Farm
Now just lay back, grab some popcorn and enjoy the show!

My task was to get Cremator and Toxic Beast Monster Logs. Luckly, this 2 bosses spawn on same map. Had to kill like 50+ Toxic Beasts, you can see the Wall of Corpses in the background. But it was worth it!

3.2. Get even more luck
You can get even more fun, if you want. Farm some 56 Leaf Clovers, to get even more Ultimate Cheat Items!
The End?
What I got in the end:



You can continue the fun and play even 10 hrs+ game if you wish! This 2 Monster Logs was last unlocks for me, so I just went to Providence and annihilated him/her and his/her WURMS in less then 10 secons!

Thanks for reading!

I tested it, Crowbar does not affect Barbed Wire's damage. However it is an amazing item for the sniper.

Yep. Still play the game though. :)
RoR2 is still in development as well.

Enable honor and collect 56 leaf clovers right from the start. You will soon be able to have every single enemy drop an item possibly even in the first level which is faster than waiting for normal enemies to drop items, elite enemies combined with clover drops items faster. Also, with the honor artifact enabled, you will be able to turn off the sacrifice artifact off and get some clovers as soon as you start the game from chests. This does increase the difficulty of things but drastically lowers the time required to farm essential items.

Ceremonial dagger is pretty damn good with this

Hmm... i know that crit goggles work on missiles, so i would assume crowbar and the goggles would work with barbed wire.
