skillzdadirecta Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Had a great run last night... went and beat Phrike again to use the datacube machine and then made my way to the second biome and beat the second boss (my third attempt with him) One thing to remember with the dodge is that you have invicibilty when you dodge for a few frames so you can actually dodge THROUGH stuff. That's key to beating the second boss because it's the ONLY way to avoid getting hit by some of his attacks. I recorded both boss battles and will upload them later. Also I fixed my privacy settings on PSN and added a few folks here, but if anyone else wants to add me feel free. Skillzdadirecta. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I love these Metroid type games but it can definitely be frustrating when sometimes you’re like, “do I need to figure this shit out or is it an upgrade I haven’t gotten yet?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just hanging around in like the 20th run in the first biome while talking to my wife. I was mostly just listening to her speak while absentmindedly exploring a room when I saw the switch. When I shot it and the gate opened, I started laughing and shouting hysterically and she was like wtf? Gotta love explaining that stuff to the lady. 4 minutes ago, skillzdadirecta said: Had a great run last night... went and beat Phrike again to use the datacube machine and then made my way to the second biome and beat the second boss (my third attempt with him) One thing to remember with the dodge is that you have invicibilty when you dodge for a few frames so you can actually dodge THROUGH stuff.

When I acquired a suit augment that allowed me to stay invincible for longer, my thought was, "Wait, there are invincibility frames?"

Remarkableriots Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Have you found a random portal doorway before? Kind of scared to use it because I'm not sure where it goes. I found it in the second area and it doesn't show up on the map. Edited small spoiler Spoiler I didn't realize it was a shortcut to the summit.

Make sure you have an astronaut artifact and if you're lucky to find a parasite one that'll resurrect you with a critical malfunction, get that as well.

JPDunks4 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 This is my first run through of each boss. 2nd overall run after the tutorial. Watching it back it is hard to watch how bad I was at times, taking hit after hit after hit. Now I run through them barely getting hit. I definitely got lucky a few times thanks to the item that built back my shields. Its shocking how little I grew my health bar going into the first boss. Now when I run it my health bar feels like its almost double the size. I also went into the 2nd boss with such little health and almost managed to beat him. Obviously don't watch for spoilers.

SaysWho? Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 I should have recorded my daily challenge I did when I got back into the game. The first thing I did after not playing for a week was do a daily challenge. They gave me the shotgun to use in Biome 6. I ended up falling off a ledge several times, falling off each time because I kept backing away from the enemies when I respawned. I lost almost all my health, then was hit once, and this was within a minute of starting the challenge. Despite that, I was ranked maybe 700 from the bottom, so a lot of others had some serious and embarrassing issues with that challenge.

Well the good news is that a lot of people dropping off the game is getting me a cheap-ass copy. I have four local friends who bought it and they all dropped it and hate it so I'm getting a $20 copy as a result. Still gonna shelf it and wait for patches and balancing and so on though for now, got enough to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
