I wish I was better at this game. The grind of redoing biome 1 to get strong enough to even attempt 2/3 is getting to me, especially when I end up doing a lot of backtracking to the ship to heal to full when possible. The gameplay loop of avoiding healing to get resins isn't great for the morale.

Reached boss 3 for the first time. I need a break. (By the way, how do you deal with those hulking giants? Their turret is impossible to dodge, and there's not much downtime before they wind up again. And then there were TWO of them. I went from 3 heals to 0 before I decided "gently caress it, area's not even locked down, lets get outta here")

I don’t think you’re supposed to grind 1 to go do 2, the huge proficiency boost right at the door and the shortcut unlocking both seem like pretty massive indicators to me that you should just sprint to Biome 2 and hope for a gun in your first 2-3 rooms.

Biome 1 has a guaranteed large heal in the constructor, and also most likely the astronaut. Those are almost essential for weaker players. In contrast, there is only a small heal in the Biome 2 shop.

So stay close and strafe around them, and jump over or dodge laterally through their gunfire when it gets near. They might jump at you but that's telegraphed clearly enough to dodge away in time.

I wonder if there are any other dev cheats that haven't been discovered yet. Oh for sure. It's kind of embarrassing to forget to turn off dev tools in the public release build of a big in-house studio game though.

Going through the earlier biomes rather than directly to the latest one is more opportunities for resins and artifacts, assuming you're willing to accept the risk that you might only find trash and waste time / get bodied for minimal progress. Jumping directly to the one you intend to play us perfectly valid though. Sure it took me hours to get back to boss 3 on a re-run and I had to destroy a couple artifacts because I had too many, but I obliterated that guy when I finished climbing the tower.

I had it during the biome 4 boss and thought it was something to avoid and for a while after. I thought it was the game trying to keep me moving till I realised it was helping. Oh another question - how tf do I get back to biomes 1 - 3? This game owns. I love how weird it is.

Oh God, my run in Biome 5 has 2/3 keys and I had a sliver of health heading into the third area. Playing super-cautiously netted me most of my health bar back, and then in the room right before what I presume will be a super-sentient, it gave me an astronaut figure on a fabricator. I had to put it in rest mode, but let's see how bad I gently caress this up.Aidan_702 posted:Read that just as I brought them up Part 1: [Yeah, the trait in question is "Portal Beam." I really hate how it looks exactly like the enemy beams though—very bad if you're in a busy fight. Actually it's weird how they color your effects in red in general.[/spoiler Part 2: [spoiler]You might have seen something in your ship log about something suspicious in the cargo hold. Unfortunately, you can't access it until you roll the credits, apparently.

Attestant posted:I wish I was better at this game. I feel you. With biome 1, if I'm at full health, I often sprint directly for the health to pick it up for the boost before I fight stuff, then clear the room, and when I go into the next room I kill the stuff; if there's health, I pick it up if I'm at full still, or backtrack to heal (or if I'm 1 heal away from full, I'll just eat it and pick it up). Also the ship sleep should heal you to FULL. Friggin annoying to leave and enter the ship multiple times to heal up, and one of the few instances of the game wasting my time. ymgve posted:Reached boss 3 for the first time. Always try to get in one melee to stun them, which lets you hit their head weak spot a good amount with hopefully your alt fire. Liberal use of cover to hide behind or kite them. If necessary, hide until alt is charged again. Their pounce is pretty easy to exploit by jumping and then melee'ing, and I'm not sure if there's a trick to triggering it or not, as they seemed to do it when I was in closer proximity. Of course, the one challenge room I was in, it had that guy, plus a bunch of poo poo in the air (I don't even know what it was) firing missile barrages at me constantly and I died  Also I was like "hmm so this is the Returnal cyberdemon" lul.

I always get to the point where I think I'm finally going to own this big scary jumper without taking any damage and it'll be great. And every single time they have one last wave of trash buddies show up to distract me at exactly the wrong moment and I get drop kicked in the face. A Titanops, two tree guys, and some bats or shielded turrets is a way nastier fight than any boss in the game. And every biome after the first has even nastier heavies that can get mixed up together.

Serrated does make it incredibly good though. Oxxidation posted:all the guns benefit tremendously from most of their upgrades (with rare exceptions like Wide Maw), but the seeker's are hilarious in that half of them amount to "MORE PROJECTILES, ALL AT ONCE, FOREVER" I should probably spenda run or two focusing on the pistol to get its traits unlocked rather than ignoring it for flashier weapons.

I got a really perked up hollowseeker which put up TWO turrets, one goes pewpewpew and the other fires the beam, made clearing rooms pretty hilarious. Eventually I stopped worrying about the weapon level and mostly pay attention to the perks. Hollowseeeker with serrated and portal beam can carry you all the way

Got to the top of the tower and made the delightful choice of putting down my serrated/wave hollowseeker for a slightly higher damage version of the weapon without the same perks. Also grabbed a chest right before the boss and ate an integrity loss malfunction, with no way to fix it left on the level. Still got to the third phase, but am absolutely kicking myself. That fight is horrifying.

Just got this game and got to the first boss (who I actually got down to his last bar on my first try so I'm feeling good). I don't know if I'll eventually get tired of it but goddamn this is a fun game so far. Really really good.

Got Biome 2 boss on my first try with a Serrated Hollowseeker and feel like a badass. Biome 3 opens up, I get the launcher almost immediately and die to my first elite shortly thereafter. Don't give a poo poo though, because now I have a grapple. This game is fantastic. People say this game has no difficulty levels, but the aim assist setting is basically easy/medium/hard veni veni veni posted:Yeah I am probably close to 15 hours and not a single bug except this crazy ear blasting audio bug during the daily challenge today.

How the heck am I supposed to kill the last biome's mini-boss? The one just right as you're tasked with crossing the gap. 3 attempts and I haven't put more than 10% of his health bar down. FWIW though, the third time I was all "okay I guess I'll use the weapon they plop down right there," but I had a malfunction that prevented me from switching weapons

Ran into another really fun bug. I guess the Playstation 3D audio glitched out cause all the sounds got really low and distorted before culminating in a screech that persisted. The game was still running fine but the audio was completely unsalvagable. Game is great but Jesus the bugs are pretty game breaking sometimes.

That guy is an absolute mother fucker and I was hanging on by a thread with two fresh malfunctions and a destroyed artifact or two by the time he was dead. All I can really suggest is make sure you have healing items on hand by the time you get to him.

I beat the 2nd boss and started to tilt because I was tired and knew I wanted to play a different ps5 game. So I was at a sliver of health and picked up some bad parasites to pop the trophy... 2x increase the cooldown of dash. Then I found some health and a baller gun and well long story short I died to the third boss at 10% hp left of his third bar. Bummer. I will corroborate what other goons have said: 2nd and 3rd biomes are easier than 1. The teleporting plant guys are still the worst.

melee the plant guys to stun them. Same thing works for the red dire wolf things in Biome 1. A single melee puts them on their side, exposing their bellies.

If you let the plant guys shield (happens around half health) and don't kill them they get a much more dangerous attack. When you see them shield the game is telling you "go melee them!"

The plant guys are very vulnerable to headshot staggering. A clip into their dome and a couple hanso katana slashes and they are down for the count.
