I beat the first boss and died somewhere in the second biome. I thought I could just restart at 2, but it drops me at 1 again. Tried to AI the answer but I have no idea where this teleport thing is supposed to be.
Am I supposed to do 1 before progressing through 2? If so, that will severly increase the time spent for a single run...
hi I really want to play this game but lack of permanent progress after each death is just putting me off. I just run in first area for like 3h now and I try to host the game and play with people but we never even get to the boss, and usually I get there alone but die.
normally in roguelike games you can rise some stats and get more powerful with each run but here I do not see any permanent buffs to help me out.
I am still scout 1 (not sure what that gives) and have permanent upgrades that just give additional features but no power buff (weapon charger for alt-fire, transmiter to use translocators and house key) that is it. Always start with this level 0 sidearm and no artifacts.
Am I missing something? or is this game build in a way to not give you power boost with each run?
I cannot rise my stats in any way I know and spending ether at that thingy next to ship (3 ether) just give me stuff that is not permanent upgrade. I am confused as hell. As normally I play roguelikes for the power spike with the time spent but here I don't see it.
Can someone tell me how to gain permanent power so the first boss is easier? or even how to gain power in this game that is permanent?
Thanks
Months ago I stopped playing this game due to the absurdity of the rng trophies linked to glyphs, after many tired runs I was only down to 2 in the abyssal scar and thought I'd have fun going back now before Saros but it's just such a drag to spend the time and end up with nothing, who thought this was a good idea? Just give me atleast one room I'm missing per run, I still gotta earn it, but this is just misery and I'm letting go, saving my energy for Saros
Sloppy as hell I know. And I only grabbed the Lobber to replace my low spec Hollowseeker. But hey a win's a win 😎🙏
I managed to trigger this second secret event in the hospital and I’ve only seen one post about this before. This is after doing the door loops in the back 6 times, but I was unable to replicate it after restarting.
So I didn’t really do anything in the hospital before this other than reading some of the reports; I went through the doors three times and got the blinking morgue light, octo and the astronaut balloon were in the room, then I walked into the morgue which makes the blinking light turn off. Then I went back to the doors and went through three more times, and I got the blinking light again. Then I went behind the front desk and there was an interact prompt (this is what the op who posted a screenshot of the hallway balloons said they did which is why I went straight to it). Now like many of you I’ve done the loop many many times to see if anything else would happen and have never gotten this before so I’m not sure what was different this time.
Anyway, there are a couple things that are different about the hospital when this happened. Theia’s door was shut, all of the reports are gone and I couldn’t interact with anything other than the girl’s story and the gurney to leave. The blinking light did not shut off when I went in the morgue, like when you’re first doing the hospital sequences and the light blinks when you’ve done all you can do (so maybe it meant that I need to climb the tower again?). Like I said I couldn’t replicate it afterwards, but I only tried twice by restarting at the ship (once in Overgrown Ruins and once in Echoing Ruins). I have not done a run up the tower to see if anything changes yet.
If anyone can get this to trigger for them let me know.
I gave up at Nemesis when it first came out… sat for several years. But now- just a week after picking it back up… defeated!
So, any day one returnal players that remember if the co op function was always there, or was an add on?
How are we feeling so far about saros not having co op so far? Im not against beating the game solo a few times, but co op on returnal was gold for player engagement. It seems such a shame not to be able to team up on carcosa.
Biome 6 - Abyssal Scar
I haven't finished the game yet but I am working on that. Last night was demoralizing because I got pretty deep into Abyssal Scar twice and things didn't go well.
First one, I reached Ophion but since I didn't know the boss, I had an inadequate gun (the Rotgland Lobber), which felt like it dragged the fight more than needed. I ended up dying to Ophion's last phase, maybe at 20% health remaining.
Second one, I died a bit earlier, in the "bridge" of invisible platforms leading up to the boss' room. Got assaulted by three of those floating elites who spam pink corruption projectiles. The last one of those enemies did me in and filled me with malfunctions, removing multiple defensive artifacts and later, the astronaut figurine. I knew then and there my run was over and I was killed shortly after.
So this makes it maybe 4-5 times I've died in this biome so far, with me reaching Ophion only once. I understand this is considered the easiest biome by many, which is kinda wild to me - I'm either missing something (getting unlucky with builds is a possibility maybe) or the biome actually got buffed via updates, but I definitely had less trouble with some of the earlier biomes (Crimson Wastes and Derelict Citadel, for example).
Just got the game for me and bud to play. Been having a blast, and we’re on the 2nd biome boss..the only problem is that he’s level 15 and I’m still level 1. I’m the host, and I’m not sure what I could be doing wrong. We’re brand new and may have over looked some things. But any advice would be much appreciated:D.
Finally beat ixion after banging my head against the wall for around 25 tries and I'm so happy to be progressing again with some new stuff to explore.
I sadly died on phase 8 with 12 mil score but look at that perfect gun. What do you think would be the ideal weapon to get the highest phase/score?
So I am in this part of the Fractured Wastes map right, and I just finished the Containment Room and found this Translocator and can't even use it. No other way out, this is supposed to be the gateway back to the main room of Fractured Wastes lmfao. And no I can't backtrack since the way to the containment room was a a long drop. I just succumbed and restarted the cycle.
Been replaying a lot lately (guess waiting for saros) and I feel like they’ve updated something. My runs feel more random. Map orientations feel new and even confusing sometimes, the number of enemies feel heavier, harder, faster. I’ve played through the game hundreds of times, have beaten its over and over but lately it feels even fresher. Anyone else feel like this?
