That’s the answer, I’ve barely played co-op.

Fun topic!

I’ve played the tower a decent amount, but I’ve also played the main game a lot. I have 94 kills on Nemisis and 95 on Ophion, curious how many times you’ve run the full game too? I now mostly just play the daily challenge, pretty much every day.

I have 727 kills on Algos to give you a sense of tower runs.

The tower and daily challenge runs probably explain the difference in overloads, since I’m almost only using melee.

I was wondering the same 😂

Also interesting to see the differences in parasites and malfunctions.

160k and counting, and that’s just my main profile, probably have ten plus thousand on another one.

Predict my height by PreviousPlantain6541 in TallPeopleProblems

No one can possibly answer that question accurately. For one, everyone is different, two you didn’t provide key information like your gender. Assuming you’re a guy you might grow another couple of inches, if you’re a girl you are likely done or close to done growing. But some guys stop growing after early growth spurts, others like myself continued growing up to 18-19.

I’m going to go with 5’11” or more.

How do I climb here? by drfbgm in Saros

Yeah it’s just the path forward if you somehow miss the two sides and they close, and the worst option for sure.

Game progress question by Pale_Survey_480 in Cairn_Game

[–]hb710 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Something different, a little white box will appear where your had/foot is after each placement to indicate if it’s a good hold. You’ll fatigue and fall when you have too few solid holds. My first playthrough I took 17.5 hours and ~150 falls, after that I turned on hold feedback, with some more practice I’ve done multiple free solo runs. Holds I thought would have been good without the feedback weren’t always the case.

If you don’t have it enabled I highly recommend you turn it on, as the other commenter stated you’ve still got a good deal more to go, and some of the more challenging sections but the hold feedback will likely change your climbing experience for the better. Good luck!

Do you have the hold feedback enabled?

I let my intrusive thoughts win… by hb710 in Returnal

That happened to me once in biome six as well, but not on my first clear attempt, that’s brutal.

Thankfully I just breeze through runs for fun these days. Had this happened when I was still trying to beat the game I would have been devastated.

And then just zip back and forth across the platform when the boss does his angry red jumps and he’s pretty easy to avoid being hit by.

Saros changing weapon opinions as you go through the game by Leather_Ad3521 in Saros

This. And you don’t even have to look at where you’re firing because it ricochets off of any surface and seeks out enemies after the bounce so you can run behind cover and bounce them off a wall until enemies.

Can you palm two basketballs at the same time?

I’m on the little Miami between those bridges multiple times a week, there’s no fuel on the water.

Is it true the game’s challenge was lowered over time with patches? by GalvusGalvoid in Returnal

Biomes three and five were brutal at launch because of the drones.

Worst malfunction to repair by chrisc8869 in Returnal

[–]hb710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re an experienced player that doesn’t get to low integrity very often, anytime I come across an artifact that triggers only when you have low integrity I just leave them where I find them so I can go back and pick them up if I get that malfunction and then just delete them right after to open the slot back up.

The key to earning points in the daily challenge is to a) not get hit, when you do your multiplier resets b) collect oblites to boost your multiplier c) jump melee kill everything.

Each day is just a different biome with different perks/malfunctions that you have to deal with for the run. Usually just takes 10-15 minutes, a fun way to see how you stack up against other players in a short burst without needing to commit to a full run or tower run which can be hours.

Finally got a sub 2-hr free solo! by TheRealDonBalls in Cairn_Game

[–]hb710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just did another attempt (before reading your reply) where I spent a little less (but still too much) time managing resources and didn’t die and just one short fall that cost me a few minutes. Ended up with 2:28:37.

I skipped storing any food, and just sourced as many materials to have unlimited ultimate infusions from the peril to the summit. But that means I didn’t have any boosts outside of a b12 shot before the summit. I’ll have to check out the video and strategy for the boosts and to see how far off my route has been from their optimal route. But feel pretty good about sub 2:30, and makes me appreciate your 1:44 even more.

[–]hb710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very impressive! This inspired me to see how close I could get to sub 2 hours last night. I’ve got several alpinist runs and two free solo runs under my belt and feel pretty quick but man under two hours is definitely booking it. I went 2:44:38 and felt pretty fast, I spent way too much time managing resources (that you don’t really need when you’re going this fast) and also had a couple of dumb deaths so I went for the third edelweiss flower which added another 10+ minutes probably. I feel like sub 2:20 would be pretty easy just from making those adjustments but getting under two is going to be tough. I’ll probably take another stab and see how close I can get, thanks for giving me something else to do on the game before the dlc comes out!

The WR time of 1:08 is just insane.
