The projectile poison gun is so nasty, destroy all mobs in 2nd biome, damage over time is super useful against big enemy. Too I got swarmed by the drones in 3rd biome, hate their suicide dive >_>

Lol. The challenge rooms are identified with stars so you know if you want to do them or not. They aren't really in disguise.
That being said the required one in the 5th biome always gets tense for me, but I rocked it this time.
Ah fuck got hit by the game updated while in reset mode. I was stacked heading into biome 3 as well. Oh well.
I'm pretty sure the animation for inxreasing your adrenaline level changed. It's now a yellow glow over the screen. Before it was red I think. And I always thought I got hit
But, can you go to the ship to sleep and heal?
lol
It doesnt cost Ether to do the challenge? I looked at that terminal wrong then.
Yeah it was red before. The red was so annoying; I always stopped what I was doing to check my health 😂
It's free. You can do it once (no retries). You get 5 ether for getting to the portal at the end
Hehe boss.
The music is so intense too lmao make it so sweaty. Perfect playing there. Damn this game is like destiny levels in Terms of tone and gameplay.
While I haven't experienced many issues it sounds like the game could use it!
Once again two quick queries on tackling biome 3…
I have extended the bridge/energy beam thingy. I assume this shorterns the run to the boss a small amount?
Also are people generally powering up in biome 1&2, just 1 or just heading straight to 3 and chancing it? I cleared just 1 on first first real attempt at 3 but it certainly adds on 30+ mins to do so.
The enemies on 3 are so different that it might be worth it to just go from 1 to 3 to learn how to dodge their attacks. Once you feel comfortable grab a couple of artifacts, parasites, etc. and then go to 3 and crush it (or just crush it directly). Both are viable depending on how good you get
Weapon Traits are, secretly, the GOAT progression in this game. A weapon with the right trait makes or breaks a run, IMO.
Hollowseeker with Serrated Projectiles II and/or Portal Beam pretty much trivializes mob combat.
Yeah, it's the opposite. Free to enter, 5 ether prize for completion (which usually seems to be easy and pretty quick).
Ooooh, this is huge if true. I thought that was a very strange design decision. It popped out to me in the first 5-10 minutes of gameplay. After 20 hours, still always thought I was getting hit when Adrenaline increase happened. Great change.
When you unlock a II does it only show up as II in the future?
After finishing the game I don't have any question about the gunplay, lore, story etc. I just have one question.
why the fuck is ether purple lmao? Like it's such a mild oversight but still large enough to be annoying. I'm of course referring to the fact that it looks the same as maligned objects from afar. Why not make Ether like, I don't know pink or something? Lol

Yeah it should be blue at the very least (those are basically auto pickups w/ no downsides)
it's the same as the keys and the weapon proficiency upgrades which are both blue.
This is also me, I can get him to phase 3 but my reaction to his melee dash are too slow, taking a break for a bit now.
sure but when I enter a room with hazards and across the entire way I see a purple drop I have no idea if it's an ether or a shitty maligned item, which is a weird design choice.
He only melees 1-2 times in a row so if you want to play it super safe just stop shooting and wait for him to melee twice, shoot him, then wait and wait for him to melee so you can focus 100% on dodging
I thought the same thing until it happened.
I was winding down a run for the night and decided to give the boss another shot. No expectations, but then out of no where, I managed to squeak it out with a sliver of health left.
Hang in there. The run will come.
Hmm, I hadn't looked at the trophy list but I remember being surprised that there was no trophy pop for beating the first boss. Guess it's bugged.
yeah I am yawning my way through new game + with the Hollowseeker. Definitely going to need to try a different gun.
just got my first death outside the opening tutorial. was nearing the end of biome 6 when the game decided that i should die and spawned several big-hitting bullet sponges. my guns and melee were barely doing any damage.
this game is fun as hell. i'm gonna start worrying less about surviving and just experiment with other weapon types.

Got to the "End" now the ride begins i'll probably Platinum this one.
Loved the game the story is pretty much what I suspected it would be.
Integrity upgrades, life steal artifact and the pylon make this game way easier (broken gun all around), made my way to the end of the game with 1 death (the "obligatory" Welcome to Dark Souls one) and i just discovered i was supposed to die more so now i have to do some runs to get some interactions done.

Neat, thanks! I honestly feel so bummed when I lose health now, with the knowledge that at full health, health items go towards increasing your health bar.
Oh sweet, found a bed to rest in to regain health!
Bed causes enemies to appear.
Enemies immediately swarm and kill me.
LOL. :(

I've got a suspicion that might be a design choice. That you see something that is out of your way and not really know if it's a terribad maligned item or a piece of Ether that there's almost no reason to avoid.
Shit. Did biomes 5 and 6 and died at the boss, boss question.
how do you hurt Ophion? I got him to the second phase but couldn't properly figure it out. I was shooting the orbs around him but wasn't that effective
Shooting The orbs spawn red points on his body that you have to shoot to damage him.
I'm just not sure if this is the game for me, at least at this point.
As a father to three, the youngest of which is 1 year old - the no save thing means I'll be putting this into rest mode on a very regular basis. When I get a chance to play, it's usually something that I can do for 30-45 minutes at a time.
I also just had surgery on my right thumb late last month, and while other games seem to not cause an effect to it, Returnal makes my thumb sore and achy. Think it's all the dashing - I'll have to look at remapping buttons.
I love hard games. Love them. Bloodborne was my game of the generation for PS4. Beaten other souls games, and souls-like games like Nioh. I think for this one, though, I may have met my match. I don't feel like i'm making much progress between runs.
At the moment, I can clear out through to the boss in biome 1 repeatedly. Have tried it 5 times or so now - I can clear phases 1-2 no problem, but I just can't seem to get that timing down for his little slash thing. The closest I got is the first time I tried, he was within 1 sword hit or just a few bullets. Every other time, it seems like I miss it by a mile.
I've died an embarrassing number of times at this point. This game has till RE 8 comes out for me and if I'm still putzing around like this, I'll just move on. It's a shame, I loved housemarque games.

Yup, I was the same way. Then on a run everything just clicked, fell in place. I had enough Ether and orbs to do a respawn and get the astronaut. RNG was kinda decent too. Was able to clear a couple of negative malignants.
Whats wild is I gave up on Bloodborne alot sooner than this, for the same reason. Now I'm tempted to give that another shot.
Yeah, the first time I found was I was like oh nic....oh shit!!! lmao. I survived it but havent had a bed appear again since.
First you need to shoot the blue orbs. This will make his weak spots appear (think of Resident Evil ;-).
I posted this question once before but never got an answer. It related to getting around one of the arena rooms in biome 5.
Anyone figure out how to climb that? I have all mobility upgrades unlocked but ultimately just gave up and moved on.
at one point I came to a giant open air room. It is circular with ledges around the outside edge, and a tall tower structure in the center, with what looks like a telescope on top.
There are a lot of goodies on the top of that center tower, including one of those data cube things, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get up there.

Thanks for the tip!
Oh yeah! This is the kind of stuff I love about this forum, thanks so much for taking the time to write up these tips. Hopefully some other users will see this and take not too. I can't wait to play this tonight after work, thanks again for all the tips!
Oh bloody hell, how did i miss that. I'd have shredded him with the pylon I had. Oh well lol, thanks.
That bug seems to happen very often if you skip any cutscenes, even the mini cutscenes. I can trigger the bug almost every time by skipping the cutscene of climbing out of the ship, in the very first room. I can't believe that they didn't fix that in the update, but it's easy to avoid. Just make sure to not skip anything.
My pleasure, I hope you enjoy the game. I really got into it, which is strange, because I absolute suck at it. It took me 26 runs to beat the FIRST BOSS and yet I just can't stay stop playing it.
Carbine is the best weapon in this game, completely messed up my run in the last area by trying something different. I'm sure if you level them up and unlock other upgrades they are better, but I don't think it was the time for me to make that move.
