Topic: Returnal

Anyone recongnize this room? It's a vertical one and there's usually a room behind an enhanced sword barrier across from the top floor. I've seen it a dozen times and I still can't figure out where the switch is for the container gate.

@Voltan I managed 581313 in that daily challenge. Not a great score cause I got hit once but it was pretty fun with the rocket launcher.

@Voltan Yes that switch is on your right just over the edge of the ledge if you look along towards the translocator thingy.

@render Is it? How did I not see it then? I'll look again next time.

@Voltan I’m sure that’s the one I’m thinking of. I think it’s the one you normally get those annoying bat things in?

@render there’s either bats or the flying squids and the top floor can have some turrets or a sticky tree boy.
I’m also yet to come across the rotgland lobber. I know it’s in an optional room in Overgrown Ruins but it never spawned for me.

Oh noooo died on Ixion and it only had a sliver of health left! Back to the beginning I go 😂

Oh bloody hell, another loss on the same boss at a similar level of health! If only I’d got a gun that wasn’t the shotgun, I was running +40% damage.

Beat the final boss. Amazing game. Probably died about 70 times. Had a beast build with 2 astronaut figures. A ton of health, auto repair and the hollow seeker with portal beam. Absolutely wrecked everything

@Voltan Sounds like the place. Amazing that you’ve not got the Rotgland Lobber yet. Just goes to show how random the rooms can be. It’s a great gun but I struggle with the limited shots before cool down.

@velio84 @nessisonett I’m definitely going to have to go back and have a go at some of the bosses with the pistol. I’m usually quite quick to change it but there are some great traits available for it.

@Mgene15 Awesome work! Are you going to go for act 3 or the platinum?

@velio84 I've been listening to it since release, it's very cool. Like with any good game soundtrack it just puts images of those places where those tracks play in your mind.

@Voltan All this talk of acts has me slightly confused. Is one act one full playthrough of the game, or is act 1 biomes 1 to 3?

I'm guessing the three Hadal keys for biome 4 have to be collected in one go? Died last night after collecting one and didn't check before turning it off.

@PossibLeigh Act 1 is 1-3, Act 2 is 4-6. To complete Act 3, you need to find 6 collectibles (one in each biome), do another house sequence and beat the final boss again (in this order).

Btw, @nessisonett if you haven't beaten the game, we were not doing the same daily challenge

@PossibLeigh Yes, the keys in act 2 have to be collected in one run. However, once you unlock the door, the door stays unlocked in future runs.

@PossibLeigh @Quintumply I'm on this same bit and died trying last night as well. I hadn't got any at that point though so didn't feel like I'd lost out. I'm guessing this bit is going to be fun though?

@render I sure am! This games that addicting I don’t mind the grind

@Mgene15 Totally is. I'm glad that you and @Voltan are still really hooked even after finishing it as that means when I eventually get to the end (yes it's a when and not an if 😁) then I'll surely want to keep playing as well.

@Quintumply, @Voltan Thanks, gents.

@render I'm thinking this might be the hardest part of the game, unless the 1 object in each biome later also have to be collected in one run. Which, thinking about it now, of course they will have to be!

@PossibLeigh If you mean the act 3 things - no, they're autosaved immediately

@Voltan Oh, wow! That actually seems quite generous! 😂
