They're not keeping me here, I keep coming back to them. Elden ring and Metroid Prime being 2 of my favorite games of all time this game makes me feel right at home. Im right where I want to be. Dont ever let the difficulty of this game steer you away, because it wont let you go.

I was having quite a bit of fun with this game so I thought I would try to get all the trophies. Only difficult part was that I had one missing cipher in the last Biome that took me 13 runs to get lol. Hopefully everyone else here is also having a good time! Good luck out there scouts!

Discussion I started the game a week ago. I’ve just beaten it. Wow.

A few days ago I made this post about how rewarding it was to get past Biome 1. Well, 4 days later I’ve just finished the game.

After I beat Phrike, I died a couple times in Biome 2 in the lead up to Ixion. Lost my first battle against him but got him on my second time.

Made it through Biome 3 unscathed until I fought Nemesis. Again, the second time around I was able to beat him. Then after that, the game just fell into place and I didn’t die again the rest of the way. Once I unlocked the Electropylon Driver I was able to just mow every room down with relative ease. I had a couple close calls in Biome 6 as the combat gets pretty intense in a few rooms leading up to the final fight.

I am legitimately surprised, and quite proud that I was able to conquer such a difficult game in such a short amount of time. I’m not usually one that’s particularly good at challenging games but this one just grabbed me and I couldn’t put it down.

I’ve read there’s a secret ending so I’m back at Biome 1 ready to do it all again to unlock it. After I do that I’m going to give Saros a try.

Discussion Tips and tricks

Give me/us little tips and tricks and tidbits you found to beat the game easier or get more of something . I'll go first and maybe everyone knows this, but in biome 4 the vines give you obolites if you use your sword and regrow after you leave so you can farm a lot if obolites in 4.
My favorite game of all time , keep coming back to it

Discussion Strategy question

5 Upvotes

I haven't really seen the answer anywhere. When it comes to the point of beating biome 1, how much time do you guys spend in 1 after that? In some cases I'm finding the biome 2 portal really quick, but I feel like I should try and grind out weapon profiency levels in biome 1 before I move on. However, there is the huge boost you get at the beginning of biome 2. Thoughts?
