Returnal - How to Make RUNS EASIER

Advice for the fall damage from malfunctions: Dash before impact and you get none

[@monoespacial]

The problem is if you need to dodge mid-air, you can still take fall damage since you can't dodge again before landing.

[@leSheep1337]

i always take on fall damage on parasites 'cause it's just plain easy to avoid. like @Dragongard said: just dodge before landing. i really can't get my head arround how it should be a bad thing since it's so ridiculously easy to avoid

[@monoespacial]

@@leSheep1337 I think it's one of those things that's not a problem until it really is. Most of the time you're going to be able to avoid the full damage with no problem. However depending on the combination of enemies and platforms you get it can screw up your round really fast if you need dodge mid air.

[@thomasjefferson2676]

I do that instinctively anyway. Funny how people need to be told.

[@DarrenE1991]

Surely that’s obvious??

[@IntelligentProbe]

Oh yeah, another tip I'd say is near essential is to turn on always sprint in the settings... oh god this helped me and kept my thumb from getting so tired/sore clicking the stick over and over and over again. Run baby run. And because you'll always just run when moving, the reaction time is cut way down, because you aren't just reacting, then having to press/click and run, you'll just simply run period.

[@abcdefg3214]

Great tip thank you

[@TerminalM193]

This took me awhile to get used to but I ended up forcing myself to get used to it because in every damn fight I found it hard to run when I needed to and would even somehow mix me up when trying to run causing myself to do other unnecessary shit.... This option is a must, even if it takes some getting used to!

[@TerminalM193]

@@firewulf1 I had the same issue at first and almost went back as well but once muscle memory kicks in it's like the stars align lol. You now have an entire mechanic that you no longer need to worry about, allowing you to focus on other areas needed for improvement.

[@brizzlex1919]

@@TerminalM193 Exactly. At first it's frustrsting jumping on little platforms and stuff but once you ge used to it it's so much better than before.

[@IntelligentProbe]

One last tip I'd add is that if you find an item/parasite which allows one fewer kill to up adrenaline level and the con isn't bad, take it! It's such a boost on all fronts to get higher adrenaline levels faster and if you have any of the other essential adrenaline items mentioned in the video it'll be their best friend. You'll be near unstoppable if you can get all these tips working for you in a run.

[@MetroCrunch]

Hollowseeker with serrated projectiles is scary. Just yesterday though I unlocked the full-auto upgrade for the rocket launcher... it's absolutely insane. If you can stick Overloads (which isn't hard) with this weapon, it turns you into a crazy DPS machine. It melts Titanops' health bar like butter on a frying pan. As for artifacts, I think the Blade Balancer is a must. It unlocks too many bonus items and rooms along the way to just pass up. There's also one that upgrades max integrity on each malfunction gained or fixed which is crazy. Execution Bolts, which shoots 2 lightning bolts on each melee kill, is one of my faves too, and also the one that shoots 2 bolts on each successful Overload (which is insanely good against the octopus-monster hordes in the last biome)

[@networkguy3152]

I find protection to be my most important stat. I always prioritize items that boost it. My first clear of biome 6 I had so much protection that enemies didn’t even scare me anymore. Also a good pylon driver can turn the game to easy mode. Just shoot the big guys a few times then hide and the dot will kill them.

[@monoespacial]

Yes, protection is also a great stat to focus on!

[@JJPurp]

I agree with your weapon statement. That weapon literally destroys enemies, and you don't have to be there to do it😎

[@InstagramWanker]

Pylon Driver is OP

[@yourlocalhuman3526]

Yh facts I loved that weapon

[@carlosg3273]

On the 4th level the roots on the ground that break as you run through them will often give you obolites ONLY if you use your blade to break them. Running through them will not give you anything

[@will.roman-ros]

Pylon Driver might be even better than sword. I seem to get a lot, but maybe bc it pops so many w one web shot.

[@DevNull1985]

I found it very useful to spend some Aether for the reconstructors in each level. They will give you a second attempt if you die with your current loadout and full health. Also good to heal up before you head to the next biome by simply dying once. Not too expensive as well.

[@MisterK-YT]

Do defeated enemies respawn after waking up in the reconstructor?

[@DevNull1985]

@@MisterK-YT no, they don't.

[@SyrupyBeard]

To anyone late to the game: Bosses do reset after reconstruction if you don't kill them. Also, future biome re-constructors erase old ones. So if you think activating each one on each biome will give you multiple chances, wrong.

[@futureskeletons66669]

I got a Platinum trophy in Sekiro, but this game is kicking my ass. Loving it though. I have more than 20hrs on this and I still haven't killed Phrike, seeing you with Lv28 weapons was jaw dropping. I've only seen a 3. Thanks for the tips.

[@monoespacial]

Dude I refunded Sekiro because I just COULD NOT get the timing for parrying. I have no problem in a game like Dead Cells, but something about Sekiro just didn't click with me. On the other hand, I beat Returnal in like 25 hours. So I guess it's just different skill sets.

@@futureskeletons66669 not sure I agree with that. There are way too many bosses that punish you for not timing parries properly.

[@eisader]

Great Tipps. I have also one. Sometimes it is great to bring a door between you and a strong enemy. When it cant pass the door and wait in front of it, you can wait at the other side save to fill your alternate firemode, sneak slowly to the door to open it, fire and retreat to close the door again. But in my Opinion the best one ist to make Ether-farm-runs once in a while to take the pressure out of you. This was my personal turningpoint from frustation to enjoy. You become better by time and training and the fear of dying and losing progress vanished :)

[@augustosopas5888]

It's is a such great game. At beginning the difficulty is a punch in the face, but as soon you get used to gameplay, mechanics and what weapons is more adequated in each situation this game gots much easier. The effort is rewarding.

[@mbsgamerpro]

This is so facts. I beat every boss on my first attempt except for the first boss. Once I got used to the mechanics and abilities, this game is not difficult. In fact I got through biomes 4-6 without dying once.

[@Cosmic_Kicks]

I personally like the Rotgland. It's not a fast shooter but it is DOT weapon and insanely powerful! Fire a shot then keep it moving. Enemies health gets destroyed without having to be in the line of fire and it kills enemies before more spawn. It is definitely more challenging when facing lots of flying enemies but you can pretty much 1 shot all of them if your Rotgland has high proficiency. A sneaky trick that I do with DOT weapons is walking up to a door and shooting enemies in the next room then walking back to the previous room and allowing the door to close. This may take a bit longer but its literally a life saver as 95% of enemies and projectiles can't pass through the door (although some can) - You can also do this with the Electropylon.

[@martinholt8168]

My best weapon is the Rotgland Lobber - it deals cumulative damage per hit, allowing one to shoot and duck away. Higher level Lobbers have been essentially one-hit kills for most enemies. The only downside is bosses - the DPS is too low. For those I switch over to Hollowseeker if possible.

[@Bangtajra123]

This game really makes you it's bitch in the last biome. I thought the game was relatively easy up until that point, but once the last biome comes? Ooooooff, have fun.

[@NotMyActualName_]

Electropylon driver is by far better than the hollowseeker for killing bosses and minibosses. I do like the hollowseeker for biome 6 because it's better for killing the squids that torpedo you, but I'll always go back and pick up my driver for the boss fight. Pylons are like a cheat code in this game. Land a couple hits and then just run the hell away. Just make sure you get back before they die so you can collect the obolites.

[@monoespacial]

Maybe it has to do with playstyle. I find using the Electropylon to be incredibly boring and also, harder in later stages when there's not as many walls to shoot them at.

[@Prismabohne]

L3 = Dash R3 = Jump R1 = Melee/Sword and last but not least set Running to allways. And keep moving, moving, moving and who is stop moving died. Use your items!!! Returnal is difficult at all time so it makes no sence to store if you think "Maybe there is an harder fight" no there isn't. And that's the"Magic" behind Returnal, easy. 😁😘

One thing to add about biome 4: shoot the roots! For some reason it drops more obolites than meleeing or running over them, and they grow back! I've had runs where I had over 1000 obolites when I left the level, even after buying most of the upgrades. Excellent, excellent video. I learned most of it thanks to Reddit and trial and error myself, but you do a fantastic job putting them all together. I even learned a few great tricks from it and I'm close to platinuming it.

[@kaoss41409]

Super late to the party, but you do more damage if you're shooting the enemies crit spots (tougher, larger ones), usually the head, but it'll light up red and you melt their health. Shortens alot of encounters. The game is super fun, like metroid on speed lol.

Get Adrenaline Leech. It is the most overpowered artifact in my opinion. Combine it with artifacts/parasites that boost adrenaline and it is playing the game on easy. Every thing heals and if you can maintain at least adrenaline 1 you get healed 5% of your damage. It won't help on bosses cause likely you will drop adrenaline levels there but everywhere else is magic. Don't be scared of malfunctions, especially in early biomes. Grab available Malignant resin and Large Resin when you can. Leave up chests if you are happy with the gun you have for easier malfunction requirements and if you get a bad malfunctions it can be cleared quickly.

I'd say do Biome 1 almost entirely but fast. Then head to Biome 2 to get the item and calibrator, then go straight to biome 3. It doesn't take too long in Biome 2 to get to Biome 3 if you don't have to fight the boss.

@@hollywooda111 I'm stuck on biome 3 as well but I just got the boss to his last stage and then I died it was a good run but man I wish I got to the 4th biome

[@hollywooda111]

@@spidersilva147 I have to confess I've given up on this one. I was just getting too frustrated and getting nowhere. It's an amazing game just beyond my pay grade sadly.

[@buzzfunk]

I dont mind the loop gameplay but at least i want to keep the weapon i had when starting over.

[@windheim8079]

This was helpful, thanks.

[@EvanX86]

A question. if i died in Biome 3 for example, and i started over, do you recommend rushing back to B3 or farm B1 and 2 first?

[@monoespacial]

Doing a full run will give you better chances of upgrading your guns and just getting better items overall. However, if you have a good amount of ether you can offset that by cleansing and opening lots of chests. It's been a while since I played but it also helps if you can still visit the shops at the end of the level depending on the path you take.

[@shaundixon8067]

Great thank you, I had a run yesterday that every time I killed something I got health. But I couldn’t pick up green health. I couldn’t figure it out and ended up dying at end of level 3.

[@monoespacial]

Make sure to always read the full description of what you pick up! Sometimes the curse is really not worth it!

[@bustatron]

That item is pretty great, you had a parasite that heals on kill.

[@alexcosta2614]

@@bustatron It could be a problem when fighting bosses since you can't heal.

[@TucBroder]

I couldn't get over no saving, and having to complete biomes again when I died. I don't have much time anyways for gaming, so not being able to save and starting at the beginning of biome 1 everytime was a deal breaker.

Change the setting so you are always in sprint mode.

[@Berserker006]

As far as the weapons go, the bonus damage levels are all you need to focus on.

[@tjlambaes]

I’m late they just put the game on sale. I just beat the game for the first time, not the final end but the first time at the citadel. I didn’t find the game to be all that hard tho I did have some amazing power ups and parasites for that run.

[@OldmanNix]

What a game. They should really communicate better that this game is for masochists only. Save a lot of people having to pay 70 bucks to find out and go out into the backyard and set fire to it whilst dancing and cackling manically.

[@jasonalanajj84]

Do you have to get past biome 3 to unlock the electronic pile-driver weapon I'm stuck on biome 3 and not came across this weapon once

[@indorr]

does it all sound compilicated just for a shooter or this shooter is that complicated?

[@Yoni123]

Isnt crosshair size just cosmetic and doesn't help with aim?

[@monoespacial]

Someone else commented the same thing. I thought that wasn't the case. Maybe it is, so I guess just use whatever crosshair size is more comfortable.

[@brandonparrish884]

How did you do that grapple?

Another Advice - Always glance at the map and look for enemies behind you

[@alexcosta2614]

Why isn't the katana upgrade permanent? I have "completed" a stage without means of breaking yellow force fields

[@boostnek9]

Don't ever waste your ether on cleansing chests or items. The cost to return ratio is really not in your favor.

[@monoespacial]

I disagree. I can easily get around 5 ether per round when I'm stockpiling. Cleansing items allows you to heal and get better items with 0 penalty. Well, the only penalty being the time you spend to collect it in the first place. But that's nothing compared to the amount of rounds you can lose by not using it. Especially once you get 2 curses and start getting hit by the arrow things, you go down FAST.

Finally jus found the sword and i saved or quit before the boss. I'm so nervous now to lose it all😊

[@SocialBobcat]

I'm a big supporter of L1 jump / R1 dash for maximum right stick aim mobility Also give no aim assist a try- even low aim assist to me felt like it "snapped" to enemies too often. I promise it doesn't take that long to get used to and you'll feel like a super Selene warrior 😄

[@CatLikeSleep]

great tips!

[@Cool_as_the_Northern_Wind]

most of this "tips" were really obvious, but I admit I was too frustrated to get them by myself. I have mixed feelings about returnal and they range from absolute enthrallment to burning spite. The lack of a clear tutorial about some key aspects of the game surely hurts (i had no idea how resin worked until after 12 total hour of sucking i read a wiki...)

[@samtaurus007]

At first glance i thought the title was advertising a cure for diarrhea. :)

[@monoespacial]

We don't offer a cure. We teach people how to embrace their diarrhea condition.
