After 3 dats stuck on this sob, I finally beat the third boss. For anyone who's having trouble here's what I did:
- Grint biome 1, then grind most of 2.
- make sure to buy health and the max integrity boost in biome 1. If the astronaut is available, grab him too.
- make sure to grab a rotgland lobber. Mine had 4 bonus damage, 3 charge boost, and 2 splash radius in addition to explosive and durable rot. It also had shockstream, but that couldn't reach the boss.
Hopefully that helps people. Good luck!

Those guys suck, but the key is to use the grapple points to put distance between you and the robots. If you can lure one away so you can handle it one on one, that's for the best.
Update drops tomorrow at 12PM PST, so turn off auto updates, disconnect from the internet (which could screw up trophies), or hop back in before then. :)
Just beat Phrike. Made it to the second Biome, etc. Challenge mode still isn't unlocked. Anyone know why? The console is still red and there's no prompt to activate it.
Yeah, but damn this was like a tower full of laser obstacles so it was kind of weird to navigate around during combat. Shit caught me off guard because I wasn't expecting combat like that until I was done with the obstacles :(
Rolled credits. Really love the story. (still need to dive into Act 3, but I basically get it at this point)
This game has such and absolutely unique character. I'm so glad it exists, and wonder if we'll ever see anything like it again.

How did it take us this long to get to the "mom-ening" of games?!
thanks for the heads up!
is biome 4 a fresh start the first time? Will I lose any part of that run by quitting if it's immediately after clearing biome 3?
Mine too
My favorite alt fire so far. Not the best in every situation, but it feels so good to use.
Is there any reason to wait until you have a bigger health pool to increase it by 25% or does it calculate retroactively as you get more HP?
hate how common it sounds to go through later biomes in a single run. I hope I have a good amount of difficulty cuz I dont want it to be too easy lol
I'm inclined to think it's just a one time 25% boost because you can buy it multiple times, unlike all the other artifacts. I always leave it for last after collecting all the resin in the level.

bfg energy. goddamn.
I don't even know the entire story only like half of it and want a movie based off this more than Uncharted
Accidentally picked up a "take damage when picking up items" parasite that has essentially fucked my run. Lol
I just realized that integrity is shown in your status screen, so it probably just increases that by 25. I don't think you have to wait.
Hmm, maybe you're right. I still like purchasing all the offense and defense artifacts first and then saving that for last. It's annoying to fill up a larger health bar taking multiple naps in the ship, lol.
It's a crutch to make the first biome easier while you learn the game. Not that complex.
If you're abusing it to the point of boredom that's on you.
It's not a one time boost, but its an "augment" and treated differently than artifacts. You can stack it but suit integrity maxes out at 300%.
The defense augment works the same way. You can increase defense repeatedly though i haven't found the max there yet.
The animations and time sink is the punishment for relying on the ship to save your run (which I often do).
Hollowseeker through biome 3 (works wonders on rocket drones), pylon for biomes 4-6. I had like 250% health and never needed to use the astronaut because of it.
So it doesn't matter when you pick it up?
When does Pylon unlock? I thought it wasn't until Biome 5.
So I got the true ending and just did Overgrown Ruins two times trying to complete the Survey trophy but I can't find the missing scriptures.
Anyway I just checked the activity card and it tells me that I'm at 0% complete at the survey.
Am I doing something wrong or it's a bug? Restoring licenses just in case.
Might turn off the PS5 and start it up again as well.

Been playing stuff in between but damn I keep getting wrecked with crazy lockdown rooms in the third biome after the bridge lol.
Damn the game feels good to play tho it definitely needs more room layouts

Okay, I take all this back. I beat the boss! And after boss 3 I didn't die again, beat the game in one sitting :)
Sorted it out, was a bug. Somehow changing my suit to og and restarting run fixed it. 98%
Hopefully they'll appear on this one.
Are you ready?
Okay, here we go...
Tilda Swinton for Selene!
This game is already so near and dear to my heart that I just bough a retail copy on top of digital and won't even unpack it, want to support HQ as much as I can. Give us art book!
Nah, if you look in the status menu, you'll see that your health is measured in percentages. So using resin to boost your health adds 5%, buying the upgrade adds 25%. I like that they made it simple.
Just beat the first boss. Took a few tries and many deaths in between at different rooms. What an adrenaline rush! Beat him while in red health. I haven't had that kinda rush since Bloodborne!!
Damn, I thought I was doing good progress, but you guys are on another level. I have like 14 hours in and I've beaten the first 4 bosses. Never been good at shooters. This game is great though. The only game in a while that when I'm not playing it, I'm thinking about it. Typically only happens to me with Soulsborne titles.
I got that malfunction and it borderlined killed my Act 2 run. Fortunately it was a malfunction and I was eventually able to clear it... in Biome 6.
Gunning for the platinum, it's a bit of a slog. Not too fond of RNG trophies. I've probably already ran biomes 1-3 at least 20 times for the collectibles :(
Was FINALLY able to get past the 5th biodome had a lot of close calls and then had a godlike run in dome 6. Hollowseeker with portal gun 3 carried my ass. Died at the same time I beat the last boss, but thank gawd I had a moon man! I can't wait to play more but after that 5 hour run I'm good for the night, lol
My game bugged and I didn't get the trophy for completing Act 1 or Biome 3. :(
Hope they patch something in that gives those to people that didn't get them.
Did you use a guide to clean up your trophies? Someone mentioned grinding for rare rooms in certain biomes because they probably have a cypher in them but that implies that there's a guide that tells you what rooms to look out for. I'd really like such a guide...
That is my fear as well, that the difficulty spike right there will be quite something, only dipped my toes in biome six yesterday, it's huuuuge.
Wtf was not expecting to see credits lol....gotta be more to this?
Is the underworld (water) level Biome 5 or 6?
YES! just finished it.
Finished biome 6 in my first try thanks to finding an amazing rapid fire gun that randomly opens up a portal and shoots laser which absolutely melted every enemy.
What an absolutely amazing game from start to finish. Can't wait to play again and go for 100% completion.

Curious to see what the update will bring. I still got 3 days of vacation left and will definitely be playing more, likely gonna try to do the platinum.
I'd be overjoyed if Housemarque triples down on this niche they've found themselves in and we get multiple games along this line and multiplayer titles too. Hopeful Sony picks them up and helps to massively expand their team so maybe they can work on more than 1 project too. I just need more of this!
