Returnal (PS5/PC) (April 30th, Housemarque) - OT

[Miles Davis]

Got up to the 3rd boss and almost had him but that shyt gets crazy. I had a astronaut but burned it cause the damn mechs in that world. World 3 enemies are annoying as fukk.

Once y’all beat Phrike you’ll realize he wasn’t shyt.

Its not the fact that the big statue demon thing is shooting, its the unshootable lil statues that keep dropping lasers and shyt. This shyt is basically gradius. You can tell these dudes love Neir.

Dawg how’d yall get to “phrike”? I haven’t even gotten to this nikka yet. I need some tips

as soon as lockdown starts I’m fukked

Just keep following the blue doors on the map, you'll need a key to get to him. Hes at the top of that hill in that big door where all those turrets are.

I’m still able to get to him but every time I do it’s with a shytty gun but those lockdowns can be ridiculous...it started off easy but the more I died it seemed the harder it gets...and they even throw new variation of enemies...the easiest creatures to kill is the tentacle shyts but on one lockdown it was a bunch of them and the tree men but the tentacles had a green protective glow to them which made them harder to kill...anyway long story short I feel your pain...when I do survive the final lockdown before getting to phrike, it’s usually with half my energy and a low level gun smh

• Try and kill enemies before passing through doors, you might not get the hobolites but you are protected from the door opening and shutting. Good way to cheese a lockdown room, unless there is a healing apparatus protecting them.
• Don’t open chest until you are done with the entire level. Only pic up guns that drop from the big enemies, by the time you are done with the level your gun proficiency will be so high you can go back and open a chest with a high level rifle for the boss fight

I kill everything in sight (I’ve used the door cheese move a couple times) before heading to phrike...but as to your second point I’ll try that...I usually stumble onto that chest early and just pick w/e gun is in there...I’ll beat everything in the level and then double back and hit up the chest next time

I avoid malfunctions as a whole, the reward isn't worth the risk, but chea, I ESPECIALLY avoid any parasites that lead to damage (fall damage, etc.), you can't afford any unnecessary damage in this game.

there's only one that'a good the one that does 20% stagger damage the more parasites u have...u just gotta find a parasite that really doesnt have a negative status effect and stack it...there are some...

The parasite that brings you back to life (with 2 malfunctions) and a couple others are worthwhile, otherwise they’re all mostly meh. The bulk of the malignant items are pure trash
