Good tips, fun video, and you made me laugh. I was passing on a few "+15% prot, -15% damage" choices but I won't anymore. Great stuff! Protection, protection, protection! : )
Hahaha I am glad you actually enjoyed the video and Had a laugh. With How many times I said “Protection”, it would be wild to pass on it next time PROTECTION!
@@Djisso the lobber with overload bolts hard carried me to my b5 and b6 clears, plus once you get two shots on it the reload cadence is the drum beat from we will rock you, literally just play that in my head dash around randomly and spray blobs everywhere and usually do better than i'd otherwise do - it one shots a lot of stuff and is worth another look methinks lobberchan is super based (even though overload bolts doesnt exist in tower)
Lobber is sick and OHKOs anything that's not a miniboss because of DPS. You can fire and forget, or get close with Durable Rot -gives you a +20% protection bonus if standing in a rot puddle. Portal Rot is insane too; Durable and Caustic increase usability further. I did really love Dreadbound for the main game, but with all the open space in the tower I've been a little Spooked to use it. I'll give it a try next time!
Very good tips for players who also want to get the tower achievements, the gameplay you show is also very good, one thing that I've to say in return that the electro weapon is also very useful, it helps with damaging the enemy while the player is focused on other things 🙂👏👏💯👍
Also don't forget you can destroy artifacts in your equipment screen. Even in the normal game mode. 8:30 don't agree, your hookshot is your real dash move in this gamemode.
My go to weapon for the tower are Rotglobber with explosive rot and other traits, pryoshell with auxiliary projectiles, seeking flares and simmering explosion and the hollowseeker with portal beam and turret. But other than that, as long as your weapon damage and protection is high, you’ll be fine. Dying is inevitable though.
I get to about phase 2 level 10. I completed returnal for thr first time yesterday (i started playing at the end of september) and now im aiming for rhe next bits x
Hey You are welcome! And I don’t think you need to be good at the game to make it. When It comes to Returnal in particular, your runs mostly depends on the artifacts and items you will collect along the way
Ooh you first have to deplete the Integrity Augment or the damage one, then Either one of them will get replaced with The protection one PROTECTION !!!!
The thing about integrity is that you will upgrade it no matter what (after each fight against Algos and while collecting resins). In my experience, being able to kill enemies faster with the damage boost and have protection maxed out are way more efficient than having integrity maxed out and dying in two hits 😓 By the time you reach phase 5-6, everything will be maxed out either way so it is all about making it there
Lemme put it this way : do you prefer taking 2 hits and die or Taking 4 ? And you still need to make it to those higher levels in the first place. Having 50% more protection makes a big difference even against the heavy hitters
@@TrickyJebus It's protection and damage augments everytime. Yes protection does become less viable in double digits phases but it's still very important.
Great video and tips. My question as a newer player to this mode is, how do you unlock(reveal) the translucent podiums with items on it in the in between safe rooms? Thank you, and yes I will always go for protection now.
Glad to know protection will be your priority now 👀 And concerning your question, sometimes at the beginning of certain encounters, you will see some harmless enemies which tend to eventually disappear after 10s I think. They don’t do anything, they are very white and they have tentacles. Killing them will allow you to travel to an unknown location where you can get some items with a guaranteed Atropian Key. And the key is the item to use in order to access the optional areas you mentioned ✨
@@Djisso Thank you for the response. So I have found some keys and used them on the locked gates similar to the story mode. So the keys work on the podiums too? I may not have been clear in my question. Its those clear ( almost invisible) tables that look like they are holding a sliphium vile consumable. But I cant interact with. Ive beaten the game but working on secret ending now, so I dont know if there is a final ability to unlock after the visor. Thank you for your time as any info can help.
@@Djisso Yes! I think the best weapon I ever got was a Lvl. 45 Carbine with Rising Pitch, Armor Piercing, Hardened, and Leech Rounds. Probably will be my best tower run for quite a while.
Really helpful tips mate, gonna try them today! But I'd partially disagree with the weapon choice, as I'd suggest to go with what works best for you. I am an absolute noob with Dreadbound.
Of Course One should use the weapon they feel most comfortable with. But Do try to get better at using Dreadbound. It is highly efficient to deal with enemies as it melts their health. Plus, you wont ever have to reload
@@Djisso I'm trying to get protection as possible but its rare and expensive sometimes I'm out of obolites. and yes after phase3 enemies are mad at you hahaha
@@Djisso the multiplier, once it gets higher your melee attacks produce more points, also the faster you get to the warp the more points you generate, that's basically it. I'm sure you know about all the stuff They changed in the latest update. What do you think about the update? Do you like it or it sucks?
@@RIZZYFLOURS ooh I see what You mean I assumed those were self-explanatory, but you are right, I should have included those points And talking about the update, are referring to an update they did recently or the Ascension Update ? I am asking because I haven’t played the game in a while
As a punishment for his crimes Hades made Sisyphus roll a huge boulder endlessly up a steep hill in Tartarus. The maddening nature of the punishment was reserved for Sisyphus due to his hubristic belief that his cleverness surpassed that of Zeus himself. Hades accordingly displayed his own cleverness by enchanting the boulder into rolling away from Sisyphus before he reached the top which ended up consigning Sisyphus to an eternity of useless efforts and unending frustration. Thus, pointless or interminable activities are sometimes described as "Sisyphean". Sisyphus was a common subject for ancient writers. Long Story Short: The Tower is Endless. I got with use of WeMod to Phase 10.
Get integrity over protection, got it.
Noooooo 😭😭😭

PROTECTION!
great tip on protection. also, it hurts my soul that lobber-chan has zero traits unlocked (9:43 in the video)
Hahaha i mostly use the carbine, hollowseeker and the dreadbound
Tried the lobber once and thought “ Naaaah”

Trouble is. I NEVER see protection in the tower and when it does appear its 500 for 10%
You got my sub brotha. This vid is awesome
Aaay thank you ❕
And welcome Aboard

But other than that, as long as your weapon damage and protection is high, you’ll be fine. Dying is inevitable though.
I was sleeping on the Rotblogger but i am trying to unlock its traits now. And yea protection is so important
And dying is like you said, inevitable 😕
Dreadbound is God tier
Scott D Man I have to say you are absolutely right. I’ve slept on this weapon for the longest and ironically it helped me to break my high score.
I get to about phase 2 level 10. I completed returnal for thr first time yesterday (i started playing at the end of september) and now im aiming for rhe next bits x
thanks for the tips i find im average at this game but i still enjoy it.The stages are fun
Hey You are welcome!
And I don’t think you need to be good at the game to make it. When It comes to Returnal in particular, your runs mostly depends on the artifacts and items you will collect along the way
Didn't encounter any protection increasing items through phase 3. Had full integrity but still squishy.
Ooh you first have to deplete the Integrity Augment or the damage one, then Either one of them will get replaced with The protection one
PROTECTION !!!!
@@Djisso OK. I'll try making integrity first then as hitting hard but being 4 shot bites as I'm not great at this game yet.
I always go for that integrity and i do not see how i would get even further than i ever have without it
The thing about integrity is that you will upgrade it no matter what (after each fight against Algos and while collecting resins). In my experience, being able to kill enemies faster with the damage boost and have protection maxed out are way more efficient than having integrity maxed out and dying in two hits 😓

Thank you
I didn't know about forcing protection to spawn thanks for the tip. I was wondering why it wasn't spawning.
Oooh Glad I could help then 🤓
Silly question…. How i gain protection? I can only increase healt bar
There is no silly question !
First you need to exhaust the Damage augment upgrade at the fabrication
After you do so, protection will replace it
I think the electropylon ! driver is the best weapon on returnal it’s the easy mode
Returnal reddit says protection is useless in higher phases. That true?
Lemme put it this way : do you prefer taking 2 hits and die or Taking 4 ? And you still need to make it to those higher levels in the first place. Having 50% more protection makes a big difference even against the heavy hitters
@@Djisso but that doesnt matter for higher phases. Like the really high ones. They say you still get 1 hit or something

The only weapon I'd pick over the Dreadbound is the Carbine with Leech Rounds, that shit is OP.
Especially when you have items to increase your healing abilities. It becomes really strong
@@Djisso Yes! I think the best weapon I ever got was a Lvl. 45 Carbine with Rising Pitch, Armor Piercing, Hardened, and Leech Rounds. Probably will be my best tower run for quite a while.
Thanks a lot
You are welcome
Hope you make it farther than I did 🥹
@@Djisso I tried Yesterday, still stuck in the 4th level. But I had Bad malfunctions each run. I'll try this weekend as i'll have time to test better.

@@Djisso I have been doing that since watching your video haha! Almost every elite players seem to be reliant on Dreadbound for the latter phases.
dire-beam disgorger OP @ 5:24 - we can hear you properly you have amazing mic, no need to shouting. Thanks for protection tips!!🙂
DO YOU MEAN YOU WILL GET SOME PROTECTION ???
Lol the shooting was mostly due to my frustration after dying so many times in the 4th phase 🥹
@@Djisso I'm trying to get protection as possible but its rare and expensive sometimes I'm out of obolites. and yes after phase3 enemies are mad at you hahaha
That disgorger he's using at that moment is the Absolution Disgorger . That shit is op asfuck
cant get past 6-20. sure youve changed but you gota create builds
somebody has ONE FUCKING BILLION on the tower bruh
Damn 🤣🤣🤣
Thats a lifetime worth of playing
show us a video from pahse 50 :)))))
I deleted the game due to storage issues (667 GB was never going to be enough) but I will get it back once I get my ssd expansion ✨
You forgot to mention some other key things you should do another video an after the update video
Oh Care to share what key Things for example ? I would be glad to include them

I am asking because I haven’t played the game in a while
@@Djisso yes correct. Would love to hear your thoughts when you have given it a try 🧤
Is there actually a end to the tower??.
I dont think there is, but also i didn’t get till past phase 8-9
I assume you just keep going until you die eventually
@@Djisso I can only get to phase 4, and I play hard. I guess I will set this aside when I get a game that doesn’t require me to be a gaming God.
