My second time coming to biome 2, after a good grind and a good build, had healing kits, an astronaut figurine to respawn after death and had used the reconstructor, got to biome 2 and was taken out by a sandstorm bug that could even work in rooms🤷 only place on the map was a room with lasers and a lava floor that I could retreat to, or so I thought. No refuge there. The storm that was killing me chased me into an area I could not live. Beyond the lava was a teleporter. Been playing the game so hard I’m even writing like how Selene speaks😂 The whole time I’m thinking how masochistic were the creators of this game. I could imagine Snow from hunger games smiling watching the developers creating this game, along with Freddy Krueger, Jigsaw from the saw movies and the reaper from the final destination movies giving standing ovation and nodding whilst clapping to show their approval.
I’m having so much trouble with Ixion!! I’ve had really good runs where I go in with 2 full bars, 1 large health refill, and still due in phase 3. I’ve tried a few different weapons on him too, so frustrating when you think you’ll finally have him & you end up dying and have to re-start - especially after grinding so much in b1 to get buffed!
Don’t give up brother, I had the same thing. I actually got fed up and tried the co op with some random guy who actually helped me through both of the first 2 bosses
I liked what you said, "We don't have the abilities to reach that yet for a long time." So I can stop wasting my time trying to reach the upper levels of that tower in the open desert!
Great video and very helpful walkthrough. The tips to defeat Ixion were a huge help - managed to defeat him on my first attempt but with the help of having an astronaut 😊. Thanks again 🙏
I am both amazed at how good you are that game basically going through every biome without dying, and at the same time some absurd stuff you do. Like leaving every apex sphere you find. It brings you instantly to level 5. Just take it, use it right away and take you item back. It’s all benefit, no cost and yet every time!!! I think I pissed me off to see you do something so absurd all while still being 10 times better than me at that game 😂
Dude, you are obviously excused from going to work for a good while because you’re so sick! Nice walkthrough bud. When I play, I’m all tense, neck and shoulders all locked up as I try my damndest to avoid damage. I feel dumb watching you gleefully frolic through this Hell park!
At the bonus room you could have first get back and use the large health then return to the room and collect the other life fragments to increase your max health.
@@SweetJohnnyCage I haven't played since Empress came out on the Japanese PS2, as we have no arcade machines here, but I keep up to date with the music. :)
Great walkthrough, but II do suggest just using those adrenaline pickups right where you find them and pick your other item back up. Everytime you found one, you were at or below 1 adrenaline.
Bruuuuh, just take the adrinaline thing activate it and get ur stuff back It give max adrinaline a shield (free hit ) Just finished the game first time Last biome i was happy to see that adrinaline thing I had artifact that reduce alt fire reload by 1 sec for each adrinaline level +parasite that lower alt fire reload also by 3 sec And another artifact by 2 sec The laser alt fire was almost instantly back that build was just cheat code + Without i forget artifact that give u chance to return consumables by 20%+ parasite return consumables by 25% The adrinaline consumables didnt end at all vs last boss I used like 7 or 8
@@Popetopia Haha I respond to most comments, especially when folks have questions. But these ones I can't avoid hahah. When I did my GOTY playthrough later that year, I made it a point to take in everyone's advice and used different weapons and actually use the items as they drop.
I got really lucky so when I first went to biome 2 I had weapon proficiency 9 and almost double my original health with a super good gun. I still had trouble with this biome.
What does it mean that the scrip is sponsored by playstation? U do it, with knowing the abilities, you dont have. You guide helped me, emensly with your play, Thanks! Thanks! Just started this game!
Such Lucky 35:28 get that log early on.... i already bet the game at least 6-7 times, done the secret ending.... couldn't get that LOG yet... the only one iam missing....
Even after beating the boss in biome 1, do you still recommend redoing the entire biome before entering biome 2? I died on the run I beat the boss, and have been really battling with biome 2 since.
In general, yes, I always recommend going through the entire track of biomes. You get important upgrades, learn new weapon abilities, and just get more and more used to the combat and enemies.
Why not just switch your consumables, use them and then just pick them up again. For instance, you decided to leave behind a instant Max adrenaline consumable and you were only at level 1?
How are you not getting infected while picking up spoiled resin and opening malignant chests?? I am halfway through your walkthrough and each every when one you've picked or opened hasn't had a negative impact on your health nor any malfunctions
It's just luck. My runs tended to have good luck early and then I'd get hit with several malfunctions in a row in the final level. I'd have no map, enemies would explode on death, leave puddles behind, the works.
Im trying to like this game but it's hard. Gameplay wise it's fun but having your progress constantly reset on death the malignant items the randomness of everything smh. I really wish I understood what exactly roguelite was before I bought this. Your strategies helped me with the souls in hoping it works with this as well
Hey great video! Had a question. I died in Biome 3 and had to restart. I found another cube. Do I have to face Phrike again to gain the artifact / is that the only machine?
Great question. There is a cube machine in every level. The one in biome 2 is the easiest to reach, as you don't need to fight the boss to get to it, and you can warp directly to the end of the level, near the machine, using the teleporter at the base of the mountain.
Does any1 know when and where to get that device that lets you zip line to out of reach parts of level? I’m at this part now, after finally beating first boss . Suspended my game until later and I’ll go back.
@@grahamkelly8662 Oh sorry, I misread your message haha. You get the grappling hook after defeating the boss of Crimson Wastes. I believe it just drops off his corpse.
@@SweetJohnnyCage ok thank you. Well, I’m gonna take my dog for his bedtime walk and when I get back, I will try the crimson wasteland and hope I can beat it. After playing the first level, I can honestly say that some of the regular rooms was WAY harder then the boss and I guess it will be the same here. Wish me luck.
@@SweetJohnnyCage I found it in a small article it’s called Key Liquifier. It’s not mentioned in any lists!!! The more keys you have, the more max integrity you increase. This item is probably the best at increasing it but I guess it’s quite rare
@@HorizonMatter It's really good. I've gotten it a couple times. One thing to keep in mind is that it will increase your max integrity a ton (if you have 3-4 keys), but it won't completely fill your health bar. So don't wait to use it until you've gotten all the health items from a stage.
Dude you don’t feel anything, the map shows that you were missing something! Are you even playing or is your little brother playing and you’re just narrating?

Hahahaha you're not the first person to say this exact thing. In my GOTY playthrough videos, I take everyone's advice and use the items.

“Gleefully frolic” 😂🤣
Your videos help so much. I just beat this boss on my first try. Now on to biome 3!
At the bonus room you could have first get back and use the large health then return to the room and collect the other life fragments to increase your max health.
Finally beat Biome 2 boss after watching your guide! Thank you! Subscribed!
Excellent walkthrough bro ! Some really nice tips too!
"There's actually a really good Trance song called Ixion."
L.E.D. is exactly what I thought when you said the boss name. :)
Hahahh a fellow beatmania player, I see!
@@SweetJohnnyCage I haven't played since Empress came out on the Japanese PS2, as we have no arcade machines here, but I keep up to date with the music. :)
1:01:22 I managed to fall down here, already running on fumes from beating the boss and I woke up at the start of Overgrown Ruins again...
Great walkthrough, but II do suggest just using those adrenaline pickups right where you find them and pick your other item back up. Everytime you found one, you were at or below 1 adrenaline.
I was gonna comment and say the same thing, not sure why he didn't do that!
Its a free shield too. And he was literally just talking about maintaining adrenaline. I was yelling at the screen JUST USE IT.
Wow.. This was a fantastic walk through all the biome.... I feel I am more prepared know... Tough I know I will die a lot.
I keep dying around the 29min mark. Once the teleport spawns. Been about a week now. Pisses me off lol
Bruuuuh, just take the adrinaline thing activate it and get ur stuff back
It give max adrinaline a shield (free hit )
Just finished the game first time
Last biome i was happy to see that adrinaline thing
I had artifact that reduce alt fire reload by 1 sec for each adrinaline level +parasite that lower alt fire reload also by 3 sec
And another artifact by 2 sec
The laser alt fire was almost instantly back that build was just cheat code
+ Without i forget artifact that give u chance to return consumables by 20%+ parasite return consumables by 25%
The adrinaline consumables didnt end at all vs last boss
I used like 7 or 8
Great walkthrough...found this a great help with stuff I didn't know about.
after I watched your videos I finally kill the first boss hahaha
3 years later and I’m just yelling use the damn apex sphere consumable when you find it and pick up your original one.
Yea.....that's my bad haha.
@@SweetJohnnyCage ha, didn't expect a response. I'll like the returnal videos. You've earned it . 🙂

Phenomenal vid man

PlayStation sent me the game for free. They require anyone who they send a game to to say "review copy provided by PlayStation" in their videos.
Such Lucky 35:28 get that log early on.... i already bet the game at least 6-7 times, done the secret ending.... couldn't get that LOG yet... the only one iam missing....
You made that look easy lol it took me 24 hrs of game play just to get the first boss but I mostly farmed to go into the fight well prepared.
It took me 5 to 6 hours to beat the first boss, guess I was lucky. But getting to the second boss is taking forever.... Guess I don't have to rush
@@clinthives yeah it was a battle I'm now at bio 4 took a few days break
My fingers sweating, shaking, finally killed Ixion
Absolutely brilliamt mate!!!
Great walkthrough many thanx.
Awesome job, man!!!!
Am I the only one shouting "you didn't swap the gun" at the screen? 🤣🤣

I'm stuck on how to get somewhere in crimson wastes, I have all upgrades but still cannot reach it.
These videos are fantastic.
Great walk through
I hope it was helpful!
Not using the apex spheres is hurting my soul.
wow, bravo 👏
Why not just switch your consumables, use them and then just pick them up again. For instance, you decided to leave behind a instant Max adrenaline consumable and you were only at level 1?
Great walkthrough video! I’m currently stuck on Biome 3 😅
Same dude...those flying drones with stupid rockets are destroying me everytime...

@@SweetJohnnyCage hahaha I feel you then
The teleport doesn't take me to the boss only send me back. What am I missing
Which teleport are you talking about? There are quite a few.
I just don’t get why you kept passing up the adrenaline max item. You could literally use it then pick what you had back up again lol
My brain is bad lol
Why oh why would you not swap to gear to make you level 5 adrenaline.. and then pick up the health vial again? Anything wrong with adrenaline 5?
Being totally honest? I never thought of doing it. I feel dumb hahah. Everyone always asks me that and I have no good excuse :D
I know it is the practice but you make it seem so easy😭😭😭 This game is a lot of fun but does it hurt when you die after a long run.😭😭
26:50 did you ever manage to reach that chest? It is driving me crazy
It requires the final ability you unlock in the last stage of the game, so I didn't get it in this particular playthrough.

Thanks for the tip about hitting the enemies to stagger them didn't know that
I'd like this combat mechanics in a game like No Man's Sky :)
Nice walkthrough I just don’t get why you skip free level 5 adrenaline pickups
It's the #1 question I get all the time. It's because I'm dumb hahaha. I never thought of doing it until people started pointing it out to me.
Great walk through but don't understand why you don't swap your inventory for adrenaline max items.
I assume that I'm just going to lose it really fast, so I never bother. That, and I don't actually think that efficiently haha.
38:03 cant use that translocator, It says its jammed, what do I do?
Check to see if there are any turrets in the area you haven't killed yet, or maybe a flying enemy.
@@SweetJohnnyCage theres nothing, could It be a bug?
Are you using a DLC suit?
@@SweetJohnnyCage Just checked, another translocator in another room doesnt work either (in fact, it disappeared, and Id used It before)
@@SweetJohnnyCage no, not that I know of
I can follow you. Did u beat it?
Yep! I have guides for each level.
Hey great video! Had a question. I died in Biome 3 and had to restart. I found another cube. Do I have to face Phrike again to gain the artifact / is that the only machine?

@@SweetJohnnyCage Thanks! Good to know.
The 26:50 chest, there is no grapple for it, and no way to jump it, can you guide please?
It requires the final ability you unlock in the final level of the game. It's not reachable until you get that.
@@SweetJohnnyCage Thank you very much for your reply
Health upgrades don't carry over when you die correct??? So I need to run through the first area each time I die to upgrade my Health??
Yep.
That's correct. The only things that carry over are equipment, like the sword and other stuff that you unlock later on.
Does any1 know when and where to get that device that lets you zip line to out of reach parts of level? I’m at this part now, after finally beating first boss . Suspended my game until later and I’ll go back.
You get the grappling hook after defeating the boss!
@@SweetJohnnyCage what boss? For some reason I can’t see all your message
@@grahamkelly8662 Oh sorry, I misread your message haha. You get the grappling hook after defeating the boss of Crimson Wastes. I believe it just drops off his corpse.

Why doesnt he use the consumable to get full adrenaline instead of just leaving it on the ground!
why dont you use adrenaline max and swap back yours? free :)
That's a fair question. I just always get hit so I find the adrenaline consumables a waste for me. But you're right, I could do that.
I got an item in the second biome that allowed me to exchange a key to increase max integrity. Does anyone remember the name of it?
Hmmmm. I definitely remember getting that in the final biome one time. I can't actually find it in any lists!!
