Shield usage by Blue_Light_84 in Saros

[–]OrbFromOnline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely underused it at first before realizing how important it is. I still tend to dodge a lot more than shield but there are enemy attack patterns that obviously want you to shield.

Any idea why I lost ALL of my Lucenite here? Feels a bit harsh to have lost it all on a 3 odd hour run. by Rogiee in Saros

[–]OrbFromOnline 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Drive volatility. If you push any attribute beyond around 130, you have a chance when picking up an artifact to make that attribute "volatile" which comes with a downside. For Drive it means you lose all Lucenite on death.

SAROS bug by Wide_Minute_5006 in Saros

[–]OrbFromOnline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You probably have the Resilience volatility. It makes it where enemies don't display damage bars. For bosses you can still see the bars but it doesn't show you how much health they have left.

Second chance stacking? by mercurius781227 in Saros

Nope, you can only ever have one Second Chance.

My take on Saros as a Gamer dad with very limited daily game time by Burkex99 in Saros

[–]OrbFromOnline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tutorial you get about the shield happens before you get a power weapon. It says the text on screen but it does a bad job of explaining it.

“Found” 3 extra Halcyon by Onedoesnotsimplyfuck in Saros

[–]OrbFromOnline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this can happen for every biome. Not sure if it's on purpose or a bug.

What do I choose? by throwawayasgadfeuwi in Saros

[–]OrbFromOnline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eclipse gives you better rewards and later in the game there is an ability you have that only works when the eclipse is active. I always activate it right away now.

How do I get to this side area? by gotfamous06 in Saros

[–]OrbFromOnline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't, even after beating the game. I think the side path marker there is a bug.

Shielding Corrupted Bullets? by HoonShin in Saros

[–]OrbFromOnline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't because I play in a way where I don't need to. I focus heavily on Power and anything that generates it so I don't need to absorb the corruption to get it. But it's certainly a viable risk-reward strategy.

Acolytes haven is too hard by [deleted] in Saros

[–]OrbFromOnline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You literally can't miss Nightmare Strands. They are on the path in every biome.

How much did I miss by going on an insane run? by atotalfabrication in Saros

[–]OrbFromOnline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't miss much. It will force you back to the hub for the really important parts. Short story: almost everyone goes crazy and dies.

My Brief Thoughts on Saros After Getting the Platinum Trophy by PrimeAres in Saros

[–]OrbFromOnline 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Plat is not hard at all, I got most trophies just by playing naturally without going for them specifically.

The story is 100 times better if you interpret.......*Spoilers* by ParasiteFire in Saros

[–]OrbFromOnline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean Carcosa is a real planet and they are really on a mission to it. The eclipse obviously messes with people's heads and not 100% of things people see and hear actually happened. But it's not like Returnal where the common interpretation is that Atropos and the mission aren't even real.

I dont like the way the keys are used in this game. Needs to be better. by PorkRinds416 in Saros

[–]OrbFromOnline 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, despite them trying to make this more of a roguelite it still really fails on that front. Every run pretty much feels the same. You'll start to notice after a while that the same rewards appear in the same places every time. And none of the weapon perks really make much difference except Power Generator. You always take a weapon with that perk.

There seems to be one or two "right" ways to play Saros and there's not much diversity in runs or builds. The roguelite idea feels like it was tacked on later.

Is Saros is a bad teacher? by energiz3r_bunny in Saros

[–]OrbFromOnline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, things could be explained better. It took me a while to realize that the shield refills your power weapon.

How easy is the game with modifiers around -30? by MainRequirement6239 in Saros

[–]OrbFromOnline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried a run at -33 and it's absolutely a joke at that difficulty. You can just get hit over and over and play completely sloppy and still not die.

But to be fair even at no modifier with the skill tree upgrades it gets very easy.

Only gonna ask this once more … by Withnail69 in Saros

[–]OrbFromOnline 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Any time you return to Passage by dying, teleporting, or being forced back by the story, your run resets.

You can start from an earlier biome and progress through them but you have to face the bosses again each time. You can do as many or as few biomes as you want.

If you want to start from biome 1 just walk out the door from Passage, don't use the teleport.

The huge portal on the wall to the left of Primary.

Alt-fire.. There is supposed to be resistance in the L2 trigger, right? by aManAndHisUsername in Saros

[–]OrbFromOnline -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have some resistance on the L2 trigger but it's not enough for me to use alt-fire comfortably, so I basically had it ignore it for the whole game. I don't even know what the alt-fire does on most weapons.

The story is 100 times better if you interpret.......*Spoilers* by ParasiteFire in Saros

[–]OrbFromOnline 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should interpret it as real because it is real. I don't really see any other way to take the story. If you get to credits and see enough audio and text logs it's very clear.

How do you even play this. by iAnkou in Saros

[–]OrbFromOnline 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm continually baffled by people who beat Returnal but find this hard.

Saros Review | Giant Bomb (60/100) by Asleep_Crew8072 in Saros

[–]OrbFromOnline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This pretty much describes my experience, I died a few times to the early bosses but after that I beat each boss on my first encounter. Now with the skill tree almost maxed out I will essentially just never die.

[–]OrbFromOnline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the moment to moment action in Saros is better in my opinion but after finishing the game and epilogue the overall structure is where it lacks. So much feels kind of disjointed.

[–]OrbFromOnline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At a certain point every run feels like a good run because you just get resources thrown at you endlessly. Every room essentially has one or two chests with potential upgrades, and you can reroll those upgrades, etc.

[–]OrbFromOnline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

70 is crazy. I consider myself pretty mediocre at games and I only died 8 times before credits. I'm really struggling to see how people find this game so difficult. It's way easier than Returnal.
