@@jaimegonzalez4371 bro i spent a whole day running abyssal scar and still haven't found the last glyph i need. the last xenoglyp even shows as if im 20/20
Hey mate appreciate the help this level was a pain in the ass, quite a few of your little side hints about levels only being available in level 2 were incorrect though, I also found quite a few of them in level 1. Also I found out Cipher 20/20 can also be a room you fall down into from the item room. I must have got extremely unlucky because it took me 2 hours to find that room at all. Thanks for the help
Can confirm cipher found at 13:05 can also be found at Level 1. Other than that everything was found where the video suggested. Just scout log 9 left (which i purposefully left till the end) to get get the platinum. Great job on these guides.
Just got the Platinum today - thanks for the video, this guide and the one for Crimson Wastes helped me figure out the ones I was missing. Big help, cheers!
Dude thanks for this awesome guides. Only got 1 of the collectible trophies until yesterday but with your help I got the platinum trophy today. Now Selene can rest in peace.
I finally got platinum thanks to this!!! For people struggling on finding out this which of yours is missing, I took screenshots of every map and cross-referenced every room a glyph didn't appear. It was kinda tedious. But once I realized which was missing (#12) I was able to breeze through the level to check if I had the correct map or not
Can confirm #16 spawned for me at the very beginning of the level in the second main room. This was my last cipher for the plat and I did around 20 speed runs before I got the room to spawn. Without this video and the people who commented, it would have been very difficult to grind. Thanks to everyone who helped :)
Ive been running through that biome for hours for that room I was beginning to think it wasn't real lol I had to give up tonight it's late I guess I'll try again tomorrow
Yes, it's the same for me, I made 50 runs to have the room #16 spawned ... A little tip that may help some, always I do BIOME 4 to go directly to BIOME6 -> Impossible to see this room I did 1x BIOME 4 -> BIOME 5 -> BIOME 6 and the room spawned from the beginning (the 2-3 rd room of BIOME 6).
yeah by the system they made for this biome by their own definition this is level 1 only room. It says level 2 only in the footage. However, they arent even past the item room for this
Adding here that I also found #16 on level 1. Was playing online, going through biomes 4 > 5 > 6, running, took about 12 attempts and was the 4th or 5th room, about.
Thank you, number 11 was my last one and I was stuck for hours and hours and I probably ran by it a ton... Would of never jumped up on that pillar. Subscribed 👊
Thanks for making all of these videos! The ones for Fractured and Crimson Wastes particularly helped me, such a good level of detail - just got the Platinum!
Cipher #16 took me literally 3 days to find, after a while I just stoped everything else and just speedrun through everything and FINALLY found it! Edit: Btw, the room where #16 cipher was, the room was same yes, but it was completley in different spot than in this video, RNGesus is really testing your patience in this game, this is one of the most craziest platinums I achieved!
#16 was the last one for me and damn was it hard to get, definitely around 40 runs. So here is a tipp if you need only this one: speedrun biome 4(dont pick anithing up exept a gun maybe, leave the enemys), and drop right in biome 6, it will be the first or 2nd room, restart if its not there, like this it only takes about 5 min for each run
@@leprekon666 about 2 weeks i tried(40runs+), did the whole biome 4 everytime to prepare for biome 6, because i thought it would spawn sometimes in the middle but it didnt. Just use the tipp from the first comment, it worked, but sure it is pure luck to get it
Thanks for these vids man...definitely helped me on crimson and scar for sure...just got the platty...16 took like 20 runs but finally spawned in the 2nd room when you start the level
Hello. Thank you for your hard work, it helped through several biomes. Just got the plat! Last one missing for me was #11, though the information you give are not entirely true. This room appears as well in level 1 (before the item room) and I only went past ONCE in dozens of tries. I guess RNG, but seems to me it is rather rare than common. Good luck to all!
Thanks for this guide! I was playing level/biome 6 for maybe 50-60 times, and i simply couldnt find the last xenoglyph cipher that i was needed to get the platinum trophy. After seeing this guide and going through different rooms to compare which xenoglyph ciphers that i had collected and which one that i was missing, i figured out that i was missing xenoglyph number 20 in the video. I dont know how i missed it to be honest because the triangle icon should show up on the minimap when you're in the room, and i was checking the minimap very often. Maybe the bridge over the xenoglyph cipher somehow hidden the triangle icon on the minimap, but i dont know. But i am glad that i finally found the last xenoglyph cipher thanks to this guide, and i now have the platinum trophy. So thanks again for this guide! :)
Thank you! #7 was my last one, I think I missed it when it first spawned because I got 6 and those rooms havent respawned in the 100hrs I put into the game. "needs to be scanned" was the most helpful part...I didnt know 7 was my last one but scanning everything helped a lot, i probably would have missed it again lol
@@BlackGod471 bottom half of the biome, it's a blue triangle door (not locked) along the two paths that split right before the boss room. Make sure you scan the rooms, it doesn't show up on the map otherwise
Please pin this if you can. I spent about 20 hours on this biome alone. The one I was missing was #16 in this video. I found it immediately after starting the biome. So I literally picked up the weapon caliber at the beginning of the level, and it was in the next room after that. DO MIND THAT IT TOOK ME 20 HOURS TO GET THAT ROOM TO SPAWN. Overall, 81 hours to get platinum. Also a tip for others trying this, I suggest speed running biome 4 without stopping to get here.
I'm running like crazy to get to biome 6 in level 2, but I always find the same damn areas. I must have tried 50 times by now. D: Is it also in the first part of the level at any point?
Thank you my brother for the painstaking bull💩 you went through to make these guides, I've just bagged the plat. And without your vids for the last 4 glyphs across 3 biomes I wouldve gone insane, massive thanks 😎👍
#10 the timed room with retracting walkways has taken me at least 20 runs to get it to appear, for me one of the rarer rooms! Needed the datacube in there too. Now I just have one cypher left and I'm pretty sure it's #16 - I still haven't got the survey trophy for Biome 6, so it's in a room that I've never been in before. Fingers crossed it's that room and it won't take another 20 tries! Then all that's left is beating a few bosses to get 100% on them and a few of the deformed to get 100% on them too. I want to see if anything happens when every single thing is 100%.
Just got the #16 after 10 hours farming. I turned ON online mode and it came first run. Seems that some maps are related on offline/online mode. I had never seen this map before. Little tip, you can cloud save before jumping into the biome so you dont have to run through the 4th biome every run
I got the real solution to finding #16. It took some time but I promise it will work. I played offline. Went straight to biome 6 from 4 ( some say you have to go to 5 first and thats not true) you have to memorize what that location looks like(I just remembered the 3 steps part) then as soon as you get to biome 6, if it spawned it will be visible right when you drop or might have to go through the first door way. You should be able to recognize it by that point and if you dont see it on the map restart. It probably took me 75-100 attempts total but the last 30 were very quick because of this method.
@@neilanblomi yeah. As soon as you drop down into the biome, go through the intro room then open the map and look for the room . Its been awhile since i did it but im pretty sure it was like the second room after the intro room. Like i said up above the room has a distinct 3 stair section in the blueprint of it thats easy to spot
thank you for your guide, expecially at biome 2, thats room respawn ultra rare blue orb platform, i do track back from portal to find it so i dont have start from front, yes i find my last piece at biome 6, well hidden by rock in the wall, repeatly over n over again, thank you 👍🏻. finally PLATINUM, peace now to change other game, so PROUD getting RETURNAL platinum, most enjoy game i ever play in ps5 game but also hardest to get PLATINUM throphy.
A HUGE correction is needed on this video. Glyph 16 in the ultra rare room can spawn IMMEDIATELY as the first room in biome 6. It takes literally 2 minutes to speed run to that point and reset if it doesn't show. Thanks to this video, I was wasting 7 minutes a run to get to the boss door since it states that it only spawns on level 2. OP, if you're reading this, you should at the very least put a note in your description about this. I lost a lot of time.
Too much has changed since I recorded this. Many many updates and DLC. And the room spawning patterns changed as well with a later update. I would have to redo everything, which would be insane. I spend so long on this that it was a one-time crazy idea, no more :D
Under 10 runs for B1, under 20 for B2, under 5 for B3, under 15 for B4 and under 10 for B5. I have been EXTREMELY lucky so far. I just wish said luck doesn't run out while I search, what I assume to be, cypher #16. Thanks for the video.
@@videogamersEU My second run for the day, got it. Total: under 10 runs for B6. Maybe they patched it at some point? Anyways, I'm finally done! Also it wasn't 16, it was another uncommon square room. Thanks for the video!!!
10/20 is the last one that I need. I had already seen that room before and the cipher too, but I thought I had lost it because the stairs have already been lowered, I didn't think that you will get there just jumping
#16 Can confirm, I got it on level 1. Just got plat. 4 Months I been trying to get this last 1. Normally been playing NOT ONLINE. Yeserday I started playing ONLINE when I start the game. Speed run today after I decided to message Housemarque and it finally pops on my 3rd attempt today. Again Level 1, about 3rd room from the start. For me it was directly after the timed elevator room with 3 platforms right above eachother.
@@videogamersEU Biome 2 completed just before Biome 3, and then i had to die with the machine active for Biome 1 scoutlog (nr10 I think). Probably less than 10 Biome 1-3 runs. I got Biome 6 left now 19/20. Probably missing 16 but I'm not 100% sure >.
If anyone else is also struggling with rooms 11 and 16 like I did, what helped for me is to actually play in online mode. I was playing in offline mode the whole time while searching for collectibles and ended up never finding these two rooms. Once I switched to online mode, both rooms showed up very quickly.
Just had #16 room show up as the first room in the biome (after the first one you drop into), not level 2 only. Edit: same with #6, but a few rooms into lvl 1, haven't dropped yet. These just seem to be all over the place.
So... just to clarify... those rooms with ciphers are never behind locked doors, right? If so, then I'll stop trying to look for keys and wasting time trying to look in locked rooms. There is a single MFing cipher in this goddamn biome standing between me and my platinum trophy...
The one @ 7:27 took me so f@#¢ing long to find. It was the last one and the hours I put into this rogue like game just to find it to get my platinum trophy embarreses me somewhat.
Last one for me was #16. Definetly a rare room, took quite a few tries. Not as many as some people have reported though. In the end I wasn't even looking at the enemies anymore, just running through everything.
22 Runs through Biome 6 and I can't get the room with 16 to spawn. Last one I need for the platinum and it's driving me nuts. I'm playing offline and periodically tossing it back to online as soon as I land in the Abyssal Scar and nothing is working. Kind of ridiculous to have RNG this bad.
For anyone still struggling to get 16 in this video (Objective 7 in activity cards), I CAN CONFIRM 100% you want to be ONLINE. After 50+ attempts offline, I went online and got it at the FIRST ATTEMPT. There is absolutely no way that is a coincidence. It was the second room for me, after the drop down from biome 4. As others have suggested, restart if it's not the first or second room after dropping, saves a lot of time. GOOD LUCK, that was the rarest room in the game for me
You literally explaining RNG. These videos took a total of 3 platinum runs and unless they have changed things, raw data is very clear - no difference in online or offline, it is just our brains looking for patterns.
LOL, go figure, my very first playthrough after making the above comment, I get to this room, and get the cipher/xenoglyph. About effing time. Stupid RNG. Housemarque earned all the high marks for this game. But the way they laid out the trophy hunt was ridiculous & horribly thought out.
If you turn off “start online” in the settings your chances of getting different rooms skyrockets as soon as I did I was able to get the last cipher I needed
Glyph number 16 is in the first room after the one where you land, not like in the video which talks about level 2 of biome 6. This error in the video made me waste hours because I was running through biome 4 and 6 to get to the glyph 16 which obviously did not come out. Luckily I read the comments before I went crazy further ..
thanks for the video, judging by the comments this must be helpful, but i'm not sure how to use it is there a way to know which ones i have collected? i have 19/20 but i don't remember which ones i've picked, also so what if i know which room it the cipher is in, how does that help me? if anyone can help me I'd appreciate it
Unfortunately we don't have any way to track it in game 😅 the only way to know is to use this video and check every room you go to. If you realise you've been in that room and gotten the cipher you can check it off and then ignore that room forever. Knowing which room spawns the cipher is good because if you know it's a main room you can skip side rooms and keep resetting your cycle until that room spawns. It's super annoying but nothing can be done. But yeah use this video, open your map every room and check you've got that cipher against the video, cross it off. You'll either be left with the one you need or find it while crossing off others
This guide has been a big help! However, I would like to make a couple of corrections. Both Cipher 1 and 2 can spawn on level 2. I've just found them there on my game during my current run.
The timed room was my undoing for the longest time. I finally got it though. Just the crimson wastes & it's frozen counterpart left at one a pop. I wonder if I'll ever complete the crimson wastes though even after patching it's still a slog for that last glyph but hey it's just two more.
I've never had that datacube room either no way is it a common. I just got it! I speedrun through the entire game and it appeared! (Fairly early in biome 6) got my last cypher and platinum! I died with the data cube though, fuck it
So according to the timestamps, the last Cypher I am missing is #10. I have not encountered that room once, and I've been repeating the biome all day. I think this is the one I'm missing. I'm starting to suspect that once you got all artifacts/equipments/datacubes, this room stops spawning... Anyone can confirm/correct me?
Hello, I am 2 platinum ciphers, do you recommend that when I find one I restart the biome? since I don't remember finding two ciphers in the same attempt. greetings.
Can Someone explain to me the "hidden area with low grappling jump" @ 1:59 in the video? I can see a platform but for the life of me cant figure out how to access it..
These vids are awesome. Am 5 collectibles from plat and already have the infamous scout log 9! Just one question- what does 'only spawns in level 1' mean? Also, is there any way of telling which glyph specifically I'm missing in a given biome?
There is no way to tell what you already have. You have to know or write down. Only spawns at level 1 means it is only before the drop down from the item room. If the room is not before that, then it won't be at all.
In the description it says level 1 is the area before the item room/dropping to the second level. Basically the start of biome 6 all the way up to the item room would be consider level 1. And no you can not check which glyph you are missing.
The one with the timer on is the only one I need. It showed on my first run through 6 but I didn’t notice it so I left it. Now Iv ran it maybe 30 times and haven’t had that room
Same here except I've never seen this room, can't believe it's common for me it's like ultra rare 😅 been through about 15 times now and never even seen it. I keep getting the other timed events rooms instead Edit: my 32nd run this room spawned for the first time the whole game
THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP! I WAS ABLE TO GET THE PLATINUM TROPHY DESPITE MISSING 20 OR 21 CIPHER IN THE STATS MENU. Maybe it's a visual glitch. Either way, thanks!

I JUST FOUND THE LAST ONE YEEEESSSSS. GRINDING IN 1 WEEK. HEEEEEEELIOSS YEEEEY. THANK YOU :D
I need the last one then I have platinum can't wait
Thanks for your guides! Finally platinumed today after finally getting the last Biome 6 Cypher!
Just another voice chiming in to thank for you the videos! Got my Platinum yesterday and it would've taken a LOT longer if I hadn't used your guide.
Thanks for this guide! I was playing level/biome 6 for maybe 50-60 times, and i simply couldnt find the last xenoglyph cipher that i was needed to get the platinum trophy. After seeing this guide and going through different rooms to compare which xenoglyph ciphers that i had collected and which one that i was missing, i figured out that i was missing xenoglyph number 20 in the video. I dont know how i missed it to be honest because the triangle icon should show up on the minimap when you're in the room, and i was checking the minimap very often. Maybe the bridge over the xenoglyph cipher somehow hidden the triangle icon on the minimap, but i dont know. But i am glad that i finally found the last xenoglyph cipher thanks to this guide, and i now have the platinum trophy. So thanks again for this guide! :)
Thank you! #7 was my last one, I think I missed it when it first spawned because I got 6 and those rooms havent respawned in the 100hrs I put into the game. "needs to be scanned" was the most helpful part...I didnt know 7 was my last one but scanning everything helped a lot, i probably would have missed it again lol
hi, i also need 7 . where did you find it? the beginning of the location, the middle or the end?
@@BlackGod471 bottom half of the biome, it's a blue triangle door (not locked) along the two paths that split right before the boss room. Make sure you scan the rooms, it doesn't show up on the map otherwise
@@perpetualtedium ok, thanks)
Please pin this if you can. I spent about 20 hours on this biome alone. The one I was missing was #16 in this video. I found it immediately after starting the biome. So I literally picked up the weapon caliber at the beginning of the level, and it was in the next room after that. DO MIND THAT IT TOOK ME 20 HOURS TO GET THAT ROOM TO SPAWN. Overall, 81 hours to get platinum. Also a tip for others trying this, I suggest speed running biome 4 without stopping to get here.
I'm running like crazy to get to biome 6 in level 2, but I always find the same damn areas. I must have tried 50 times by now. D:
Is it also in the first part of the level at any point?
You are Right , thank you !!!!! for me the room spawns After i Fall in biome 6 , you can restart the circle Till you get the room, it is much easier!
Thank you for these. Can confirm room 11 can spawn on the first section before dropping down.
Thanks a lot bro!, that number 16 have taken me weeks! Finally got the platinum!
Did you find it after respawning biome?
After 37 runs just to get #10 i got platinum now! Mamma mia. Thanks alot for your videos!
If you’re struggling to get the last cypher, it’s probably #16. Musta done 30-40 runs before that room popped up
Thank you my brother for the painstaking bull💩 you went through to make these guides, I've just bagged the plat. And without your vids for the last 4 glyphs across 3 biomes I wouldve gone insane, massive thanks 😎👍
Hey thanks for the help all your guides made the hunt so much easier.
Also confirm, rarest #16 can spawn on lvl 1 closest room after begining. Farm it ~4days, dont counted how many runs it was.
#10 the timed room with retracting walkways has taken me at least 20 runs to get it to appear, for me one of the rarer rooms! Needed the datacube in there too. Now I just have one cypher left and I'm pretty sure it's #16 - I still haven't got the survey trophy for Biome 6, so it's in a room that I've never been in before. Fingers crossed it's that room and it won't take another 20 tries! Then all that's left is beating a few bosses to get 100% on them and a few of the deformed to get 100% on them too. I want to see if anything happens when every single thing is 100%.
Just got the #16 after 10 hours farming. I turned ON online mode and it came first run. Seems that some maps are related on offline/online mode. I had never seen this map before.
Little tip, you can cloud save before jumping into the biome so you dont have to run through the 4th biome every run
I got the real solution to finding #16. It took some time but I promise it will work. I played offline. Went straight to biome 6 from 4 ( some say you have to go to 5 first and thats not true) you have to memorize what that location looks like(I just remembered the 3 steps part) then as soon as you get to biome 6, if it spawned it will be visible right when you drop or might have to go through the first door way. You should be able to recognize it by that point and if you dont see it on the map restart. It probably took me 75-100 attempts total but the last 30 were very quick because of this method.
Are you saying it’s possible no 16 can spawn at the first room?
@@neilanblomi yeah. As soon as you drop down into the biome, go through the intro room then open the map and look for the room . Its been awhile since i did it but im pretty sure it was like the second room after the intro room. Like i said up above the room has a distinct 3 stair section in the blueprint of it thats easy to spot
THANK YOU, THANK YOU.. B6 finally done now and Platinum too !!
thank you for your guide, expecially at biome 2, thats room respawn ultra rare blue orb platform, i do track back from portal to find it so i dont have start from front, yes i find my last piece at biome 6, well hidden by rock in the wall, repeatly over n over again, thank you 👍🏻. finally PLATINUM, peace now to change other game, so PROUD getting RETURNAL platinum, most enjoy game i ever play in ps5 game but also hardest to get PLATINUM throphy.
One more to go and platinum... didnt think id get this far. Now playing the tower for fun. Im going ro miss this game !
I just got my platinum thanks for all your help man !
A HUGE correction is needed on this video.
Glyph 16 in the ultra rare room can spawn IMMEDIATELY as the first room in biome 6. It takes literally 2 minutes to speed run to that point and reset if it doesn't show.
Thanks to this video, I was wasting 7 minutes a run to get to the boss door since it states that it only spawns on level 2.
OP, if you're reading this, you should at the very least put a note in your description about this. I lost a lot of time.
Too much has changed since I recorded this. Many many updates and DLC. And the room spawning patterns changed as well with a later update. I would have to redo everything, which would be insane. I spend so long on this that it was a one-time crazy idea, no more :D
Cheers mate, got the last one finally. It was that pillar one. Would’ve probably ran right past it without your help
Under 10 runs for B1, under 20 for B2, under 5 for B3, under 15 for B4 and under 10 for B5. I have been EXTREMELY lucky so far. I just wish said luck doesn't run out while I search, what I assume to be, cypher #16.
Thanks for the video.
That is amazing luck. Hard to believe.
@@videogamersEU
My second run for the day, got it. Total: under 10 runs for B6. Maybe they patched it at some point? Anyways, I'm finally done!
Also it wasn't 16, it was another uncommon square room. Thanks for the video!!!
The "Room after drop from item room" can actually spawn BEFORE the item room.
10/20 is the last one that I need. I had already seen that room before and the cipher too, but I thought I had lost it because the stairs have already been lowered, I didn't think that you will get there just jumping
#16 Can confirm, I got it on level 1. Just got plat. 4 Months I been trying to get this last 1. Normally been playing NOT ONLINE. Yeserday I started playing ONLINE when I start the game. Speed run today after I decided to message Housemarque and it finally pops on my 3rd attempt today. Again Level 1, about 3rd room from the start. For me it was directly after the timed elevator room with 3 platforms right above eachother.
Awesome guide. Massive help 👍
Yesss I was just missing 19. Took me like 10 more runs to finally find it!
Thanks your videos helped me a lot i just finished this area, two areas and platine will come :D
07:09 OMG, thank you!! I wouldn't have tried it any longer. XD
#17 was the last one for me. Only 2 (14 glyphs), 3 (4 glyphs) and 2 logs in those and 5 (1 log) left
This is insane. I stucked at #16. It's unbelievable.30 runs and nothing. Even in biome 2 it took for me approximately 20 runs to collect all.
20 runs? That seems unreal. If true, you were super lucky. In biome 2 it took me around 345 runs to get all and record all.
@videogamersEU Approximately 20. Maybe 22 or 23. Seems I was really lucky with biom2, but now I will pay for that with searching last one in biom6. 🙈
@@videogamersEU Biome 2 completed just before Biome 3, and then i had to die with the machine active for Biome 1 scoutlog (nr10 I think). Probably less than 10 Biome 1-3 runs.
I got Biome 6 left now 19/20.
Probably missing 16 but I'm not 100% sure >.
If anyone else is also struggling with rooms 11 and 16 like I did, what helped for me is to actually play in online mode. I was playing in offline mode the whole time while searching for collectibles and ended up never finding these two rooms. Once I switched to online mode, both rooms showed up very quickly.
Man the last one I need just so happens to be the 16th one. AKA the rarest room in the biome
Just had #16 room show up as the first room in the biome (after the first one you drop into), not level 2 only. Edit: same with #6, but a few rooms into lvl 1, haven't dropped yet. These just seem to be all over the place.
After 50 attempts I don't even find it in the first level of the biome that in the second. the game hates me. D:
Thank you so much god bless you ❤
This is my last one for the platinum. Going for it today and tomorrow
Finally got all of em after being on 19/20 for a day!
I GOT THE PLATINUM! Don’t give up - you can find them all.
Cipher 10 in your video has never spawned for me :( it’s only thing i have left before I Platinum the game…
So... just to clarify... those rooms with ciphers are never behind locked doors, right? If so, then I'll stop trying to look for keys and wasting time trying to look in locked rooms.
There is a single MFing cipher in this goddamn biome standing between me and my platinum trophy...
The one @ 7:27 took me so f@#¢ing long to find. It was the last one and the hours I put into this rogue like game just to find it to get my platinum trophy embarreses me somewhat.
Working on one last cypher in this biome…wish me luck!!
Искал #16, а потом случайно перепрыгивая заметил ксеноглиф под переходом! Оказался #19!
Got my abyssal scar trophy just now. Only need 1 cipher from crimson water for plat. TNX!
Last one for me was #16. Definetly a rare room, took quite a few tries. Not as many as some people have reported though. In the end I wasn't even looking at the enemies anymore, just running through everything.
I think I don't have this cipher too. Did you find #16 before or after falling from item room?
@@fesfes3121 I'm pretty sure it was after. Took quite a few runs to find it.
@@pedrovieira8602 Thanks! 20/20 already. 😁
Thanks. So basically none of them are super hidden I just didn't get the rooms. At least the devs mark it on the map as a pickup so that is good.
22 Runs through Biome 6 and I can't get the room with 16 to spawn. Last one I need for the platinum and it's driving me nuts. I'm playing offline and periodically tossing it back to online as soon as I land in the Abyssal Scar and nothing is working. Kind of ridiculous to have RNG this bad.
For anyone still struggling to get 16 in this video (Objective 7 in activity cards), I CAN CONFIRM 100% you want to be ONLINE. After 50+ attempts offline, I went online and got it at the FIRST ATTEMPT. There is absolutely no way that is a coincidence. It was the second room for me, after the drop down from biome 4. As others have suggested, restart if it's not the first or second room after dropping, saves a lot of time. GOOD LUCK, that was the rarest room in the game for me
You literally explaining RNG. These videos took a total of 3 platinum runs and unless they have changed things, raw data is very clear - no difference in online or offline, it is just our brains looking for patterns.
The rooms never seem to change for me they are always the same and can't find the remaining 5 ciphers
Wow thank you 😳 Platinium today 🥰
Cipher 10/20 “Main Common”. It has never spawned. And I need that… :(
lmao i used to run into that room all the time but now that i figured out that is the one i'm missing, it hasnt spawned again since like 15+ runs
@@evanbrews3867 my cipher isn’t there and it’s nowhere to be found!
10/20 is the last one I need, I've NEVER encountered this room before >:(
LOL, go figure, my very first playthrough after making the above comment, I get to this room, and get the cipher/xenoglyph. About effing time. Stupid RNG. Housemarque earned all the high marks for this game. But the way they laid out the trophy hunt was ridiculous & horribly thought out.
If you turn off “start online” in the settings your chances of getting different rooms skyrockets as soon as I did I was able to get the last cipher I needed
It has zero effect. One of the first things people tried, room % stayed the same. You are just looking patterns in a RNG system.
Glyph number 16 is in the first room after the one where you land, not like in the video which talks about level 2 of biome 6. This error in the video made me waste hours because I was running through biome 4 and 6 to get to the glyph 16 which obviously did not come out. Luckily I read the comments before I went crazy further ..
Game has changed a lot since I made these. I recorded most even before Day 1 patch.
I only have one to find. Please let this video be the one i need😂
Hi I have 19/20 glyphs but its says the resources glyph tab 100% research completed am I screwed
Nope. The total is 91, since Fractured Wastes has 1 extra for some reason. Just find the one missing. I know it is annoying, but that how it is made.
I have the same problem. Did you manage to find another one or has this trophy glitched for us?
thanks for the video, judging by the comments this must be helpful, but i'm not sure how to use it
is there a way to know which ones i have collected? i have 19/20 but i don't remember which ones i've picked, also so what if i know which room it the cipher is in, how does that help me? if anyone can help me I'd appreciate it
Unfortunately we don't have any way to track it in game 😅 the only way to know is to use this video and check every room you go to. If you realise you've been in that room and gotten the cipher you can check it off and then ignore that room forever. Knowing which room spawns the cipher is good because if you know it's a main room you can skip side rooms and keep resetting your cycle until that room spawns. It's super annoying but nothing can be done. But yeah use this video, open your map every room and check you've got that cipher against the video, cross it off. You'll either be left with the one you need or find it while crossing off others
Finally got the Platinum hurrah !
This guide has been a big help! However, I would like to make a couple of corrections. Both Cipher 1 and 2 can spawn on level 2. I've just found them there on my game during my current run.
Yeah, it seems some room can be on both levels, even if I never saw them there.
Platinized. it's my 107th platinum. one of which I leave the most
I have all ciphers and scout logs why did the trophy not pop for this area?
The timed room was my undoing for the longest time. I finally got it though. Just the crimson wastes & it's frozen counterpart left at one a pop. I wonder if I'll ever complete the crimson wastes though even after patching it's still a slog for that last glyph but hey it's just two more.
I’m only missing two. That second datacube room (has never shown up for me btw) and the second one I’m not even sure haha but I’m not giving up!
I've never had that datacube room either no way is it a common.
I just got it! I speedrun through the entire game and it appeared! (Fairly early in biome 6) got my last cypher and platinum! I died with the data cube though, fuck it
Same ughhh
So according to the timestamps, the last Cypher I am missing is #10. I have not encountered that room once, and I've been repeating the biome all day. I think this is the one I'm missing. I'm starting to suspect that once you got all artifacts/equipments/datacubes, this room stops spawning... Anyone can confirm/correct me?
I found cypher 16/20 in area 1. Just a heads up if you ever make a new vid. Great video though saved me a bunch of time.
i’ve one more cypher needed to unlock Platinum. i’m running this biome over and over and it won’t pop suggestions?
Hello, I am 2 platinum ciphers, do you recommend that when I find one I restart the biome? since I don't remember finding two ciphers in the same attempt. greetings.
Can Someone explain to me the "hidden area with low grappling jump" @ 1:59 in the video? I can see a platform but for the life of me cant figure out how to access it..
nvm. for anyone wondering, you have to drop off the edge and use the grapple to boost yourself high enough.
These vids are awesome. Am 5 collectibles from plat and already have the infamous scout log 9! Just one question- what does 'only spawns in level 1' mean? Also, is there any way of telling which glyph specifically I'm missing in a given biome?
There is no way to tell what you already have. You have to know or write down. Only spawns at level 1 means it is only before the drop down from the item room. If the room is not before that, then it won't be at all.
In the description it says level 1 is the area before the item room/dropping to the second level. Basically the start of biome 6 all the way up to the item room would be consider level 1. And no you can not check which glyph you are missing.
Thanks for the video, I'm just missing 1 cipher here, need to check 5 , 12 and 19, it has to be one of those.
Good luck with the 19, lol
On #16, is Level 2 a mistake there? I don't think challenge rooms spawns on level 2?
I got the final for biome 6 but the trophy didn’t pop, my databank says I have all cyphers tho
You might have a bug. So you either cannot get a Platinum or you have to find another cipher, which is not listed. Most likely Biome 2.
@@videogamersEU idk I will get another trophy and hope it will pop both if not I will delete save data and recollect the cyphers
Hello! Thanks for the guide. Can i ask why i need to scan number 7?
You won't see the bridge on the map if you don't.
@@videogamersEU Thanks! :)
The one with the timer on is the only one I need. It showed on my first run through 6 but I didn’t notice it so I left it. Now Iv ran it maybe 30 times and haven’t had that room
Same here except I've never seen this room, can't believe it's common for me it's like ultra rare 😅 been through about 15 times now and never even seen it. I keep getting the other timed events rooms instead
Edit: my 32nd run this room spawned for the first time the whole game
I need one more and this thing doesn't seem like it wants to be found ffs but i won't give up, i want that platinum lol
I still haven't found room 16 after 20-30 runs. It's last thing I'm missing. Does anyone know if it only spawn in area 2?
Does anyone know what number 6 is in the activity log?
Hello i have a question
At point 3 is a wall/tower and a healthy on the top
How i can get it
Thanks
I found #16 in level 1 second room. Maybe uodated after Patch.
Cheers
THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP! I WAS ABLE TO GET THE PLATINUM TROPHY DESPITE MISSING 20 OR 21 CIPHER IN THE STATS MENU. Maybe it's a visual glitch. Either way, thanks!
What d u mean by lvl 1,2 ? There is only one left n im tired of been repeating 🤕
