Didn’t last long in the 5th area even with all my health and astroman. I can already see this being a pain of a level.


The fifth area has interesting pros and cons:

Pro: there is no boss

Con: instead of the boss you have to beat the challenge room

There are other repair perks not related to being on low health. One is linked to damage you deal depending on your adrenaline level and can keep you really topped up on high health.

Are you spending ethers on the pillar by your ship? That how you unlock these perks, though getting them in a run is still a chance based thing, ofc :lol: :x (Apologies if I've asked that before.)

That 5th area is a nightmare. Cleared 2 areas and than a challenge room where i made it to the last bit before being totally wiped out by two of those blade wielding wankers

Onto the 6th area :dread:

Ooooo water

Oh, no fast travel

Seems a long level, seen the red door but went past it to see what was there and died


Every try after that I have died in the 1st area :fp:

Use the map to your advantage: there are many difficult encounters which DON'T have a locked door. Meaning you can retreat, hide your ass behind something and shoot from a safe distance. Stay calm and you'll have it beat before you know it.

I got to the final boss but had little energy when I reached him. Now ive opened the door will it remain open? Please say it remains open. The journey seems worse than the boss itself.

Yeah. No need to go looking for the keys again.

Hazzah! That's where I lost most of my health, those stupid enemies that pepper you with bullets and homing missiles can do one. Normally twinned with those balls that spit out loads of those red circles

So it's not best to use the Ether to activate a save point (I think it's six a time?) then? :) #dummy

Only if you're super confident about getting to boss / have loads to spare. In my playthrough toward the end, I often found myself with multiples of 10 so I spent them pretty freely. By the way, that cube thing, they were pretty scarce on my runs. I got the first one from the secret area you find behind the destructible wall in biome 1, but after that they were a lot harder to come by.
