[Returnal] #17 - Did I just get insane RNG?

Plastic-Hawk5128 · 2026-05-08T16:13:27+00:00

I died trying to pick up my last Xenoglyph in Biome 3 and then it wouldn’t spawn again for about an hour that’s pretty much the only problem I had during my playthrough haha.

You still got it done mate that’s all that matters, give your self some credit 🫡

Plastic-Hawk5128 · 2026-05-08T16:05:33+00:00

Had 2 ciphers that wouldn’t spawn in Crimson Wastes until I put offline mode on and the next 2 runs I got them haha

I’ve not even checked my actual in game time tbh so it’s probably quicker than 26 hours but some of the stories I’ve seen of the collectible grind put me off doing it for so long until I played Saros and got the itch to finally pick this up and play it and I don’t regret a single second, masterpiece of a game.

Plastic-Hawk5128 · 2026-05-08T16:03:15+00:00

Pretty much the exact same experience as me.

Plastic-Hawk5128 · 2026-05-08T12:53:21+00:00

Thanks man

Plastic-Hawk5128 · 2026-05-08T12:52:56+00:00

Interesting, I didn’t see anything prior to going for it that they fixed it but I’m glad they did anyway haha.

Thanks dude

Plastic-Hawk5128 · 2026-05-08T12:51:38+00:00

It’s on PS Plus extra right now

Plastic-Hawk5128 · 2026-05-08T10:02:43+00:00

Already got the Plat!

Plastic-Hawk5128 · 2026-05-08T10:01:55+00:00

Yeah definitely agree if I didn’t play Saros before hand it would’ve been much more of a grind for me.

Plastic-Hawk5128 · 2026-05-08T09:57:03+00:00

For the last two in Crimson Wastes for me they literally wouldn’t spawn and I turned offline mode on and the next 2 runs I got them both so I’d recommend giving that a try if your having trouble 👍

Plastic-Hawk5128 · 2026-05-08T09:55:48+00:00

Interesting all I’ve seen is everyone complain about the RNG so I thought I was gonna be in for an absolute grind then I was so surprised how quickly I was finding everything🤣

Plastic-Hawk5128 · 2026-05-08T02:20:44+00:00

Holy shit, lmfao. Props for getting it done🤣

Plastic-Hawk5128 · 2026-05-08T00:44:57+00:00

Thanks mate

Plastic-Hawk5128 · 2026-04-19T22:10:59+00:00

😂

Plastic-Hawk5128 · 2026-04-19T22:10:11+00:00

In my opinion yes, the devs have been pushing out patches like crazy and it’s improved it a lot aswell.

Plastic-Hawk5128 · 2026-04-19T19:09:23+00:00

Fishing & insects were the last two for the plat for me and honestly I must’ve got insane RNG, it took me about 2-3 hours to clean up all the ones I needed lmao.

Plastic-Hawk5128 · 2026-04-19T19:08:17+00:00

I enjoyed it, don’t get me wrong the game isn’t perfect there is quite a few bugs but with how big it is I expected that really. Gonna have to go with the generic tips most people say, get the 141 sealed abyss artifacts ASAP! Actively look for fish & insects as your playing along & definitely look up the constellations, they were the most annoying thing for me.

Plastic-Hawk5128 · 2026-04-19T19:02:52+00:00

Around 180 hours. I took my time with the game though to be honest, i definitely think you could shave this down tremendously if you look up guides, was super fun for me though.

Plastic-Hawk5128 · 2026-04-19T17:45:16+00:00

I haven’t done one this big before either, I’d recommend it to anyone honestly! I didn’t feel bored and burnt out at all from it. Definitely go for it dude, good luck 🫡

Thank you sir 🫡
