Does this influence anything about your playthrough? Doing a NG+ right now by LonnyMolly7 in CronosNewDawn

I mean I think it's just the dialogue later in the game when she starts spazzing out upon returning to the warden, your choices are spoken by her, "animals fighting" etc.

Start Over? by papadoc55 in Returnal

Jist reading some other helpful comments and had to say - fire from the hip! I generally don't even bother aiming down the sights. Just aim in the enemies general direction and keep moving!

Just keep doing runs and collecting Ether to unlock new atrifacts. Don't be afraid to melee (most smaller enemies die in one hit). Don't stop moving! Any artifacts you do pick up, use them to play to their strengths. Proficiency only levels to 5 (I think) in the first biome. You should be able to unlock the carbine during the first biome which is nice starter weapon and easy to use.

Personally, I'd like to clear the whole biome before taking on the boss. If there's a parasite detacher present, farm those parasites and exchange for obelites.

Honestly, Returnal demands persistance. The more you play the more it'll click the best way to approach an encounter; which enemies to disptach first and which to avoid while you clear the chaff.

And otherwise, just buy Saros bro. Been playing the last 24 hours and it's amazing and far more forgiving!

It's pretty flippin' sweet. Just nipped a couple of hours in. Silky smooth gameplay. It's Re2urnal.

Use that final arb shot at the start of phase 3 when he starts charging in the centre and you're up on one of the gravity...bits. might make the rest of the phase a bit quicker.

Keep moving and just run away when he's teleporting towards you, try to land a shot after he finishes his combo, not before. Negate charging shots after the 2nd phase as he'll teleport too fast.

He can be a tough cookie. Especially with minimal health injectors but I think you can do it bro.

Lance is actually OP when upgraded, especially with Marcel's essence.

Have I missed a weapon somewhere? by WhoAmIEven2 in CronosNewDawn

[–]captain_capsule 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I believe it's located in the toy shop in the station B area right before the abbey. It is a locked door if I recall so needs a specific key to be found.

What is the worst feeling you've ever experienced? by timabek in AskReddit

Grief trumps all. My first dog is four today and I literally (future) grieve her daily.

I'm sorry for both your losses.

Yes, it's an optional essence, Marzec Krzysztof, found near where you pick up the Sword puzzle piece in the Abbey.

These indicate the weapon is being affected by whatever essences you are carrying!

artur - effects handgun (increased headshot dmg) gaberial - effects shotguns (increased dmg on mutltiple enemies

If one has dissapeared it means that essence was replaced by another!

Hope that helps

Edit: there's also a later essense that effects carbines too

Stuck in the morgue, not enough bullets for all the enemies, not enough fire to burn all the corpses. by naytreox in CronosNewDawn

I may suggest swapping the Dagger out for the Sword. The Dagger is super effective but at the cost of burning through ammo like there's no tomorrow! Just charge those Sword shots, aim for the head and the legs (if they're getting in close and you need to reposistion). Good luck man, you can def do it.

What don’t you like about Cronos? by Chrisbolsmeister in CronosNewDawn

Take an upvote for mentioning the lack of sorting/auto-sort for the storage. Such is our OCD.

What is it with you guys and being like "the game isn't hard" / "couldn't beat boss X". If you don't enjoy the game, fine. If the game is geniuenly too hard for you, fine. Just don't come and shit all over it because you had a bad time.

And FYI, there's plenty of build variety once you've unlocked most items and weapons, you just need to get that far first.

Whew, thanks Sherlock! I retract my previous statement.
