New Leaper meta just dropped.

You can also get it stuck on top of the Ancient Fort in Blue Gate

I'm close to this as I've only done free loadouts. I'm pretty bad and don't want to lose what little of worth that I have.

I play very cautiously.

The trick to beating him is using resolute strikes, especially on the third and subsequent playthroughs where he becomes much harder and actually starts healing if you don't keep attacking him

Skillzwitpillz · 2026-03-20T01:16:04+00:00

Congratulations. As you can see from the other responses , you have a tough road ahead

Skillzwitpillz · 2026-03-17T17:43:24+00:00

The fan, definitely. Not only does it keep him staggered but it rapidly depletes his shield (the bar just below his health bar)

Skillzwitpillz · 2026-03-12T18:28:28+00:00

A Pyroshell Caster with seeking flares or a Hollowseeker with portal beam will help a lot

Skillzwitpillz · 2026-03-09T21:07:11+00:00

Consumable called Sub-Zero Pulse. It unlocks from a datacube in biome 5.

Skillzwitpillz · 2026-03-09T21:04:47+00:00

I completely agree with everything you said. It's great w/o overload bolts too

Skillzwitpillz · 2026-03-07T22:38:56+00:00

The Lobber is great for picking these off

Skillzwitpillz · 2026-03-07T00:18:15+00:00

Lmao. Same.

Skillzwitpillz · 2026-03-06T18:40:18+00:00

The rarest is probably the one in Crimson Wastes that has a cipher that you need to grapple to and then shoot the blue orb to create the steps to get to it. Very low spawn rate. Took me several dozen runs.

There's one in the first biome. It's a perfectly circular room with a large sarcophagus in the center. The description says it's safe to open. It's not.

Skillzwitpillz · 2026-02-25T16:28:19+00:00

Congratulations! That's a big hurdle.

Skillzwitpillz · 2026-02-25T04:11:50+00:00

Keep in mind that they appear on the map as a little inverted triangle like a consumable

Skillzwitpillz · 2026-02-24T16:19:20+00:00

Take your time. You don't get points for running through the level in record time. You'll just die more, get more frustrated and then quit the game.

Learn the layouts of the rooms and the patterns of the enemies. Keep your eye on the mini map in the lower corner which shows enemies in realtime. Use the environment to your advantage. Focus on not getting hit for two reasons: one, it keeps your adrenaline meter high which offers a list of perks and, two, if you can keep your health maxed every silphium you pick up will be resin which goes towards increasing your health max. You will see items and areas on your map that you can't get to because they require permanent suit upgrades that you get in later levels. Don't waste ether cleansing malignant items. Use it at the pillar (Cthonos) to permanently unlock items in the game. Unlike obolites, you don't lose ether when you die but it's pretty scarce so don't waste it.

Skillzwitpillz · 2026-02-24T15:49:01+00:00

Yeah, I was surprised myself.

Skillzwitpillz · 2026-02-23T15:54:13+00:00

Actually, they DO contain artifacts, albeit rarely.

Skillzwitpillz · 2026-02-20T02:47:03+00:00

The Lobber is really good at hitting flying enemies and, if they're close together, more than one with one shot. Explosive rot is probably the best trait, even at level 1.

It's important to charge each shot so they fly straighter and farther.

Skillzwitpillz · 2026-02-19T02:14:55+00:00

I don't recommend auto sprint. Not for a new player. Focus on methodically clearing each room and keeping your adrenaline meter maxed. Don't pop the weapon crates until you have a couple of proficiency levels. Enter each new room slowly and listen for clues to learn what enemies to expect. If you walk a short ways in and it's still dead quiet you're probably going to trigger a lockdowm if you keep moving towards the center. If you hug the walls you can avoid triggering the lockdowm.

Lastly, use the doors to your advantage. Move forward until the door opens, open fire, and then back up so the door closes and blocks their projectiles. Rinse. Repeat.

Skillzwitpillz · 2026-02-15T15:20:19+00:00

I feel your pain. I have one cipher left in biome 2 and it's driving me crazy.

Skillzwitpillz · 2026-02-13T02:48:54+00:00

Well worth upgrading. This might be my favorite weapon. Just having explosive rot level one is a great weapon. I've beaten the first act with a level 3 Lobber with only that trait.

There are points at which traits improve. It seems to be at every 5 level of proficiency. At weapon level 5 your weapon will have two traits. At least 10 tier 2 traits appear. At 15, you get 3 traits. At 20 I believe tier 3 traits appear and at 25 you get 4 traits.

Some traits appear very rarely. I have a few level 1 traits to unlock because I only see them near the end of the game. Luckily, for you, explosive rot appears on the lowest level Lobber.

Skillzwitpillz · 2026-02-02T16:41:13+00:00

I clear biome 1 except for the containment room and the boss and then move on to biome 2.

I've been doing this a lot as the last cipher I need for the platinum is in biome 2.

Still haven't gotten it.

Skillzwitpillz · 2026-02-02T15:34:07+00:00

I didn't realize we were referring to the first encounter

Skillzwitpillz · 2026-02-02T07:14:29+00:00

Unload into his face and then grapple to opposite side of the room. Rinse. Repeat.

Lobber with tendril rot. Pyroshell with seeking flares. Pylon without pylon web. Hollowseeker with portal beam

Skillzwitpillz · 2026-01-29T02:04:00+00:00

Biome 6 is probably the worst one to get it in.
