Topic: Returnal

@render Yep, one left.

Finally got to the last biome. Mannnnn. The 5th one really took a lot out of me. I had the leech artifact, loads of integrity, good weapons etc. Pretty much everything going for me and it still took me down to pretty much one last hit to kill me and I jusssstttt about managed to take out the last enemy!

The 6th biome gave me a ton of audio bugs where the sound would just cut out completely and every time I fixed it it went again. Eventually turned off 3D audio and it seemed to work ok but I died shortly after, blamed to a lack of focus after the annoyance

@Thrillho That article is quite amusing to read now we know more 😂

@roe Well done, I remember that being a big effort to get through as every room beats you down and it feels like you are just scraping through it. At least now you can crack on with 6 👍

5 runs later, nothing.
BUT I found a comment saying that some room spawn rates might be affected by the number of Ether you have? Seems far fetched but at this point I might as well give it a try. I'm full of ether so I'm gonna cleanse some stuff, I guess

Get ready for Patch 1.3.7, releasing tomorrow at 2PM (GMT+3)

Patch Notes:

• Fixed an issue with Deceased Scouts not appearing as often as intended.
• After having one of their Deceased Scout corpses scavenged, players will no longer receive a negative-effect parasite on startup.
• Fixed an issue where the Ophion boss might disappear after a player uses the Reconstructor during the fight.
• Fixed a rare audio bug causing loud noises during combat.
• Fixed a small number of issues where players might become stuck in various rooms.
• Fixed several issues where the player might encounter a black screen during the credits or whilst playing.
• Multiple fixes for rare crashes during gameplay.

@render Does ‘not appearing as often as intended’ mean ‘not appearing at all’ 😂

@nessisonett I have seen accounts of players finding a deceased scout in versions other than that broken one. So apparently they were just rare as f**k.

@nessisonett @Voltan at the moment there’s less chance of finding a dead scout than finding scout log #9 🤣

I have only seen dead scouts in the daily challenges so far.

Still no log 9. I’m gonna take a couple hours break.

@Voltan So even with no / less ether still no sign?

There has got to be something amiss with the RNG on that one for so many people to not find it. I spent way more time than a lot of people on here and even I haven’t got it.

@render I did 2 runs with low a ether number so that might not be enough. I’ll keep trying. But yeah, considering I also grinded biome 1 when getting things in 2 and 3, definitely no other collectible took nearly this long.

Ready to go back in, this time with a new tactic. Will I find it within the hour?
Bets are open

Who had “yes”!?

@Voltan wowsers, nice one. I’m a way off yet.

@Voltan Well done 👍, looks like you won’t be needing that patch then 😉

@Voltan Congrats!

I've no hope of getting the platinum, but I do dream of getting past biome 3 one day

If you do get to the spot where Log 9 is your only thing left in Biomes 1-3, don't hesitate to ask how to do it efficiently (I found some good advice on Reddit myself)

Edit: forgot to check the total time so I went back and it's been 59 hours and 20 minutes.

@Voltan Will definitely tap you up for that if I manage to whittle it down to just that. Had a night off tonight but will be back on it again tomorrow.

@JigsawPieces I was once in that boat. Took me a while but I managed to break the back of it. It gets easier from there too. I definitely died less in act 2 than I did 1.
