Killer drones OP, 6 of them firing and exploding coming after you at the same time...most annoying enemy apart from those flying bats thingy Game should should have provided a timed shield or deflector Void beam works best against such swarming bullshit Edited January 20, 2022 by Modern_Ubermensch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy in such rooms where you can move around and get some cover too. It is specifically the drones in the open areas of Biome 3. But I realized dodging towards them rather than left/right has helped a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l33tmaniac Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Hyperion was very easy. Finished in the second attempt. Got the Rotgland Globber, stocked on some sylphium vials before taking him down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially those gauntlet rooms. Always keep on moving. Finish the smaller enemies and turrets first. For the big guys, find a good grappling spot and keep grappling between two platforms while taking only a few seconds to shoot. That way you are invulnerable for most of the fight.

For all its difficulty, I have never felt that Returnal resorted to bullet sponge enemies to pad its difficulty. Which is one of the things I love about the game.

l33tmaniac Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Thanks folks. Just got done with Biome 5. Ended up using the Electropylon Driver and exploited the invulnerability frames during hookshot zips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenzooru Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Finally felt good enough to play some Returnal after catching flu last week, got past biome 2 boss on my 7th try, his third phase is hard to time with the dashes and the dodges. Biome 3 time and my chances aren’t looking good, boys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also use grapple a lot specially if the rooms get crowded. Sometimes it's also best to run to the next area skipping a room which is too overwhelming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l33tmaniac Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) Finally beat Ophion. Stocked up on a couple of Sylphium vials and took him down with a pistol since I ran through Biome 6 and didn’t stop to hunt for good weapons. He really wasn’t that hard tbh. Tried hollowseeker in the previous attempt to only break through to the second transformation and then eventually die. Story is too convoluted IMO. But the gameplay loop is just insane. Wondering if I should try going for a plat. Edited January 22, 2022 by l33tmaniac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it can get a little frustrating because of the RNG aspect, I'd say go for it. You'll get to know how awesome some of the weapons can get with their traits upgraded all the way.

I'll have to restart the game multiple times just to get that stupid collectible. That said, I did try doing a quick run today to tackle the challenge rooms. Got my hands on a Rotgland globber with bouncing rot + exploding rot. Insanely powerful. I did the following in a single run without even dying once (did’t use Astronaut figurine too). - All 3 challenge rooms in the first 3 biomes - Got the survey trophy for Biome 1 and explored all the rooms in the 3 biomes - Maxed up health upgrade & the # of artifacts you can hold - Took down Nemesis Pity that I'll have to start afresh in Biome 4.

SuperT Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Beat the 4th boss today. By far the most fun and visually stunning boss fight till now but was also the easiest. Bimoe 5 is difficult but manageable with the Elctroplylon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shreyans Gupta Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Completed the game and I was very disappointed by the story, everything else is top notch. I never play any shooter games but this game made me change my attitude towards the genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
