Whatever you do, DO NOT USE HEALTH PICK UPS TO HEAL IN THE FIRST BIOME. You can head back to the ship and sleep to regain health. Do it until you have max health and all health pick ups will convert to resin, which increases max health. If you do this with every single health item, your health bar will be nice and beefy for the Phrike fight. Just keep in mind this only works for the first biome.
It’s so fucking annoying I’d have a perfect set up then go through a door just before the boss or activate a trap door and I just got shit on leaving me 0 health for the boss 🙄
I don't want to cry like a baby, but it's so frustrating that I can't beat Phrike for days now. Preparing for a battle is also risky, as I can encounter some lethal enemies out from nowhere. Man, it's a real pain.
Level up a bit - do not open up Any blue chest until you are level 3 - just explore..once you did that open then to get a higher 4-7 level gun - if you are lucky in a run and find astronaut BUY it - secondary gun does a ton of damage to him
This is the perfect timing I have ever seen. I needed this just now. Your amazing. You need the recognition you needed with your cup head videos. Much love to you my guy
EVERYONE: Don’t give up! It’s taking me FOREVER to beat this boss lol! I finally get to the 3 round and lose halfway there. Just keep trying and you’ll get further and further each time and will figure it out! If I can get this far I know you guys can!!!!!! DO NOT GIVE UP!
I hear ya man. I can see if they at least let me respawn back to him. At least for the boss battle! But starting back at the ship and going thru all that shit over again is killing this game for me.ain’t nobody got time for that!
I agree with you both. I wish they could add a update with a save file for those who want to use it. I always get random crappy drops after dying x amount of times. I'm at the point were I want to delete the game and move on to something else.
This, together with tips from Boomstick Gaming, actually made the fight seem just as easy as portrayed. I was stuck forever, almost lost faith. Thank you.
I almost beat him first try but didn't know the spaceman was going to resurrect me so he caught me off guard and wrecked me before I could realize what happened. I don't think the boss is very hard per se but combined with the run back it just makes me impatient and the next time I got to him I was way less prepared and died. The orange main attack I think is the hardest to avoid and does a lot of damage. He switches hands to throw and it messes up dodge timing. then I forget that in the third phase he does the laser back to back instead of only one sweep.
I got there on my 3rd run and had him down to half on the third then got wiped out, took me another 5 runs to get there and used my astronaut artifact just before then got wiped out fml :( amazing game but tough af
For sure. I can’t believe anyone thinks souls games are harder. I think those people haven’t actually played it. A common theme with people who watch gameplay and do reviews. Cause I don’t see how this will even be possible to beat. Though I guess to be fair, the skill you acquire in souls games bleeds over into the others. So that definitely doesn’t hurt.
Return all its an awesome game but it’s super hard to beat especially cus there’s so save points or anything alway have to restart but ur missions that u accomplished are only saved hopefully they’ll update it in the long run
So far this is the only boss that was really taking my cheeks. I beat the second on the second try, third on first try, and fourth with two tries. But I couldn't clear the first boss for two days.
Dude it's killing me, I KNOW exactly what to do, and how to do it. I manage to dodge all the melee but right at the end get hit with the sweeping beam.... It's my 2nd day of trying to do it. And I really love the game so far but i can't beat this stupid phrike!!! Next run through I'll bring the astronaut... I won't give up damnit!!
I got the astronaut for the first time just before I had my first attempt at Phrike. I think the condition for unlocking it is going through the house at least once, so you have to find the house key on one of your runs.
I’m in the same boat. I can see if when I die I’m right back at the same point when I get to him. But got damn I can’t beat him and starting back at the ship doing the same shit again is making me not wanna play.
Some people say he is the hardest boss but the Biome areas actually get harder as you go making it harder to get to the bosses. Don’t know? Still in the first biome and absolutely loving this game.
Feeling bad for all those people who paid £70 / $80 for the game and gave up on it. Returnal is on PS+ Extra right now. Literally playing it for free and lovin' it!
I had 165% suit integrity and found that integrity sleep chamber. Didn't heal all the way. Also, the Astronaut does NOT seem to fully heal you now... which sucks cuz I used Large Siphilum first to charge up for battle. Should have done Astronaut, then Siphilum. Is anyone experiencing this?
Bro, you’re advising to acquire the astronaut artifact before fighting Phrike but every single guide I’ve read states you can only gain it after coming into possession of the house key-which apparently only spawns after defeating Phrike.
Lol got destroyed by him the first time, took ages to get there again, watched this vid before going in and I got him in the first try! Thank you so much!!
Why does my dash after I jump not take me as far as yours did? And did I miss when the game tells you you can dash THROUGH enemy projectiles? Or does the game never tell you? Because this is news to me.
this boss is so cheap he is invisible sometimes on some attacks why its so hard for the first boss i dont know why they decided on these cheat tactics to make it a challenge
ERM... beaten him today at first try before seeing this vid. Second boss on second try. Now I am in middle of 3rd biom, I wonder how tough 3rd boss will be.

This is getting patched out. Will only be able to sleep one time with minimal health gain.
@@brianmcswain8932 did it end up getting patched out?
Getting there each time seems like the biggest challenge 🤣
Bro omg, especially since the route changes every time and every enemy on the way will demolish your shit
It’s so fucking annoying I’d have a perfect set up then go through a door just before the boss or activate a trap door and I just got shit on leaving me 0 health for the boss 🙄

This makes it seem so easy 😂 i been stuck on phrike for 2 days
Ain't that the damn truth
YOU’RE NOT ALONE😂😂😂😭😭
Yo me too wtf
its not easy i died for 2 days too lol
Level up a bit - do not open up Any blue chest until you are level 3 - just explore..once you did that open then to get a higher 4-7 level gun - if you are lucky in a run and find astronaut BUY it - secondary gun does a ton of damage to him
Man that melee attack gets me every time. Just can’t get the timing down.
Yeah, man, all day trying to beat him
This is the perfect timing I have ever seen. I needed this just now. Your amazing. You need the recognition you needed with your cup head videos. Much love to you my guy
Is it me or did that melle hit do zero damage?
Tbh i just like watching the explanation and seeing the intro, i don't even have the game
Me 2

Thanks man. Really. I think this game makes the souls games look like babytown frolics. I appreciate the morale boost.
Just realized the intro is princess Leia in the trash compacter talking to han. I wonder this he thought about using it in his intro lol
I didn't even know you could dodge through the radial and beam attacks! Thanks dude. 👍
How did I not know you could dodge THROUGH the beams? Shit.. 😂
You are immortal for most of attacks in dodge move😃
I just said the exact same shit.
😂 the dodge through is the game changer hahaha
This game is pissing me off. I've been stuck on this boss for 3 days now. I seriously feel like I wasted 80 something on the deluxe edition.
I really hope they release some kind of difficulty patch for people like us, I really want to see the rest of the game.
I hear ya man. I can see if they at least let me respawn back to him. At least for the boss battle! But starting back at the ship and going thru all that shit over again is killing this game for me.ain’t nobody got time for that!

that's the reason why I bought the physical copy of the game. I learned my lesson with the Ghostrunner 2020 game LOL.
@@ElementDaEmcee Git Gud.
I don’t have this game but I like this channel that much
This, together with tips from Boomstick Gaming, actually made the fight seem just as easy as portrayed. I was stuck forever, almost lost faith. Thank you.
Thanks a bunch! We killed it. Melees helped a lot thanks to your advice to run after her once underground.
Dodging through it. That's what I was missing!! I was just jumping!

Beat him eventually after 2 days, got well into the dessert area, died, back to beggining of game, man that sucks so much
You can skip him after beating him once!
I got there on my 3rd run and had him down to half on the third then got wiped out, took me another 5 runs to get there and used my astronaut artifact just before then got wiped out fml :( amazing game but tough af

Have a figurine he says after I haven't seen one in 22 hours of play
13 hours in... Finally beat him! The game is fun and all but what keeps me going is pure stubbornness 😅
Dude it's killing me, I KNOW exactly what to do, and how to do it. I manage to dodge all the melee but right at the end get hit with the sweeping beam.... It's my 2nd day of trying to do it.
And I really love the game so far but i can't beat this stupid phrike!!!
Next run through I'll bring the astronaut... I won't give up damnit!!
I read You can't get the astronaut until you beat the first boss. Edit: Whoops nevermind i guess some bad info is out there.
I got the astronaut for the first time just before I had my first attempt at Phrike. I think the condition for unlocking it is going through the house at least once, so you have to find the house key on one of your runs.
@@soulpunx2k12 ah ok thx!
Whos here before facing the boss for the first time? Im at the entrance.
I can't beat him so definitely won't beat any other harder bosses 🙄 I bought digitally too so can't trade it in 😭
I’m in the same boat. I can see if when I die I’m right back at the same point when I get to him. But got damn I can’t beat him and starting back at the ship doing the same shit again is making me not wanna play.
I agree for a rogue like it could use a little more permanent progression
Some people say he is the hardest boss but the Biome areas actually get harder as you go making it harder to get to the bosses. Don’t know? Still in the first biome and absolutely loving this game.
@@brianmcswain8932 I still haven't beat him...
Feeling bad for all those people who paid £70 / $80 for the game and gave up on it.
Returnal is on PS+ Extra right now. Literally playing it for free and lovin' it!
Short and simple. Thanks 🙏
Maybe you should say, that in the third phase, he do much mir projectiles and two melees in a row😃
Had no idea about how this game worked and spent 4 hours and killed him with a Lv 0 weapon with a tiny health bar
Whew, did it. Thank you, astronaut!
I had 165% suit integrity and found that integrity sleep chamber. Didn't heal all the way. Also, the Astronaut does NOT seem to fully heal you now... which sucks cuz I used Large Siphilum first to charge up for battle. Should have done Astronaut, then Siphilum. Is anyone experiencing this?
Thank you man! Got it first try! :D!
I have died like 20 times or more still cant beat this first boss. I feel like I wasted $80 bucks. I should have stayed playing normal SP games.
I made the same mistake bro.
I almost gave up 5 hours in. FINALLY beat the first boss at about 8 hours in. The game is unforgiving
Same here bro , been trying for 2 days and still nothing. I wish i never bought this game
Bro, you’re advising to acquire the astronaut artifact before fighting Phrike but every single guide I’ve read states you can only gain it after coming into possession of the house key-which apparently only spawns after defeating Phrike.
When you find her house you can find the key before Phrike. This first one is free astronaut.
Lol got destroyed by him the first time, took ages to get there again, watched this vid before going in and I got him in the first try! Thank you so much!!
I can barely reach him without being half dead. >_
Phrike is the new Sigrun
What’s that red lighting Shit attack he does? Don’t see it mentioned here
Why am I so shit at this game? I'm good at games
Why does my dash after I jump not take me as far as yours did? And did I miss when the game tells you you can dash THROUGH enemy projectiles? Or does the game never tell you? Because this is news to me.
Hold dash/jump button longer for longer dashes/jumps!
I was so close to beating him and died 😢😂this was my first try aswell
Idk how the first boss was the hardest for me
space man item? when/how do you get that?
Ive player over 22 hours and still on the first level. I camt get past it
Done:) thanks for your help here
Git gud and upgrade your gun to at least lvl 4 and your health bar.
this boss is so cheap he is invisible sometimes on some attacks why its so hard for the first boss i dont know why they decided on these cheat tactics to make it a challenge
ERM... beaten him today at first try before seeing this vid. Second boss on second try. Now I am in middle of 3rd biom, I wonder how tough 3rd boss will be.
Use an automatic gun have an astronaut figure one silphium vial easy peats
wait, you HAVE to beat him to get the house key... how do you get the astronaut without getting into the house? Not sure if this made sense?
This is no linear game
Actually I got the key without beating him
Finished the game yesterday.. really lovely game and once you get the mechanics it becomes much easier
I’m about 10 hours in and have only faced him 3 times and get my butt handed to me.
I stink
I couldn't beat the first boss for two days but cleared the second, third, and fourth bosses in one or two tries each.
Cool
Bra THANK YOU. I got shit on twice against this Phriker, but after watching this vid I killed him on the 3rd try untouched! Good looking out 👍
I hate this game, please add a noob difficulty for me.
If you're new to the game😂😂STFU the game just came out you still on first boss yoy new to the game(3 months of this comment unsaw😃)
This game will get ruined, gamers today crying
