- In this beginner's guide, we go over some tips and tricks that will show you how to beat Returnal. What artifacts are the best? How do you dodge the drones? Wait Rotland Lobber is actually great? While it may seem impossibly difficult at first, with some perseverance and help from this guide you, too, can beat Returnal!
You can melee the blue spherical bullet of every enemy to avoid damage
I actually didn’t know that! So cool I’m still learning stuff months after launch
also didnt knew.. will Try it in my nxt run. tnx👍
It’s true but not on every Enemy it works
So it really is nice Drakengard.
Can you melee attack from the start of the game, or do you have to unlock that ability?
This game is so intimidating at first but that same intimidation at first is the enjoyment later on
For anyone watching this: I would *HIGHLY* recommend rebinding your Dash from the Circle button to R1. Not only is it a button that isn't used, it also allows you to retain camera movement while you are dashing. I noticed an immediate improvement in the success of my runs and my overall confidence with engaging enemies when I made this change.
I prefer to bind dodge to right analogue stick
This is why I recommend EVERYONE to get the extremerate back paddles, theyre only $40, can be bound to any button and is VERY easy to install so long as your hands arent shaky like you jave parkinsons
Isn't R1 the consumables button? 🤔

I'm completely new to the game. I bought it for PC. I got to Phrike (3rd bar and got killed). In the following runs I died miserably over and over in the environment trying to harness more health (avoiding to get to Phrike with low resources). Keeping untouched is quite hard. Restoration beds aren't easy to find either, so planning to refill all life there and then collect the small items seems quite difficult. The only consistent way seems what you say: keep life as high as you can, collect enough orbolites, and then buy the life increase. I'll try to do so and see if I at least pass first biome (omg). This game is hard for rusty bad players like me. Thanks for the tips man.
We're in pretty much the same boat. :) I also got this for PC and spent maybe 7+ hours on the first biome. I thought I was never going to beat that boss but I finally just did earlier today. Good luck to you, and you can do it!
@@dsmiley53 Thanks man. I finally did it a while ago. Bad thing is it took me much much longer LOL. And the funniest thing is that the run I succeeded my life wasn't too increased (just a bit more than normal, couldn't buy life extension). I had a suit malfunction decreasing my protection, just a damn pistol, but two funny parasites and a holy astronaut. I almost died. So yes, it's possible even being too bad like me (I'm stubborn). The astronaut made it. Now in second biome. PS: It seems you can get there sooner if you kill first boss. You just need to find the ring you opened after killing it. Enjoy the game man.
After watching about 15 videos I can say this is the best returnal tips video I've seen. Thanks alot.
Thank you so much and good luck with your future runs!
agree . well done
Same here !
They nerfed the exchange on ether. Now only 100. You know because it was such a good deal before lol.
Ha! - I just said the exact same thing in the comments a minute ago - GREAT guide!
i just picked up on ps extra. Some tips you didn't mention
- Large healing items when at full life turn to resin that give 2 health slots. small and medium give 1. However large healing gives way more then 2x the integrity of small healing item especially if you upgrade healing efficiency. Recommend to think about when to pick up healing items in lower levels. Save a large until you are more then 50% damaged. Then pick up small one for max health upgrade. If you do the reverse you will partially heal then waste some of the potential of the large heal and get no resin.
- in settings you can change sprint section from toggle to always. This makes you strafe and movement faster without having to worry about toggling it on every time you stop or dodge. you have to get used to in in non combat situations so you don't run off a ledge but the trade off for me was worth it.
- in settings you can adjust your reticle size to large and auto aim to high. this is a preference thing, but if you are struggling this is the only real way to make the game "easier" as more of your bullets will land without you having to stop your movement and aim.
- There consumables you have are dropped when you pick up a new one. these stay in location. there are a few that are worth saving and using strategically. one gives you max adrenaline is great to use just before boss room. Another removes all malfunctions. The fabricator room is a great place to pick up / buy a healing item you need in a pinch and drop one to save for later. Before leaving a level you may want to get two or 3 malignant items, fast travel back to place you saved item, remove malfunctions , then go to next biome.
- While each biome is procedurly generated, each room is basically the same. You don't know what is behind each door when you start a run, but you after a few play throughs you should have a very good idea what enemies or traps are in room at a glance.
Seriously, one of the most dense and helpful guides out there for this challenging and amazing game!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for making these guides I know it is hard work, but finding good quality guides are rough. Others rather be funny or assume you know terminology than actually let you know how to be successful.
Once you get through the learning curve...this game is amazing!
Everything you said was good except for the skipping biomes.
If you’re a new player you do not want to skip rooms unless you struggle with yellow rooms. You’re either good enough at the game to not need these tips, or you need as many buffs as you can get to steamroll through all three biomes.
If you straight up skip biome two or four to get to three or six, when you died on biome three or six, you have a much smaller chance at getting the items you’ll need to complete the boss.
i also thought this advice was a bit weird.. when i skip bioms too soon i always miss out on things i need to finish the harder parts of the game.... i ONLY skip bioms if i wanna Test new things and dont really go for a serious run.
Agree. On my runs I am cleaning the room like it´s Christmas, every single drop of help is worth later.
Something I found out the hard way today: The reconstructor only works if you die inside the biome of that reconstructor. If you are doing too great, and proceed to the next biome without dying, charging the reconstructor is a waist of resources.
That was the most helpful video I’ve seen yet. Thank you
You’re welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
This guide is awesome and so easy to understand! Absolutely trying these tips when I hop in tonight!!
Let us know if the advice was helpful in practice!
This game is incredibly hard when you first start playing it... but bit by bit you get the game mechanics down and it becomes more manageable. I suck at these games but was able to finish it... they were all good tips you provided. I agree about the Rotgland (?) being good.. I found biome 3 incredibly hard at first, but when I discovered that weapon I got through it.. from that point on I didn't lose a life for the rest of the game... later discovered the pylon driver which is equally as good, if not better.
Oh Biome 3 is easily the most challenging of the 6 Biomes. And I beat my first playthrough of Act 2 with the Pylondriver, great weapon!
For me Biome 3 was quite fine but the boss.. Oh my god they picked a right name for this sucker.
I found biome 3 the easiest, it's weird how people have such different experiences! 5 and 6 I found the hardest (and 1 when I was getting to grips with how to play)
My tip is you can leave most rooms anytime you want so you can slowly pick off enemies and retreat if your health is super low and save the challenge rooms for the end of the biome when your proficiency and health is highest
Dude i jus started this game a few days ago and i was alittle lost. This cleared EVERYTHING up for me
You’re welcome! Have fun with Returnal!
OK - So a dozen or so tips videos later I came across this one and its hands down the BEST GUIDE for beginners. No other video I watched (even from the bigger channels) mentioned to spend your ether on the starting point hub. Kudos mate. Subbed...
My piece of advice is: always keep your distance (if possible) most enemies shoot orbs or lasers at you, and when you’re at a distance you can see them coming and have a few seconds to react and plan our your next move. Also, I believe the best two guns in the game are the ones that shoots a portal beam and turret, and lastly the the gun that shoots out red pylons that stuns and continues to hurt enemies even when you stop shooting them. This is great if you want to keep your distance from enemies. So, much easier than going head on, I think anyways.
Edit: also, if you spawn into a room with a red glowing sphere, then it’s gonna spawn a big baddie. So, take out all the other smaller enemies or turrets as quickly as you can, but keep your eye on the red sphere. As soon as it spawns hit them with your alt fire. Then focus of them. Always does the trick for me.
Aim for the head with the alt-fire on the big baddy. Can usually take a large fraction of their health, and shorten the fight.
Fantastically thorough and well edited guide. You should continue to make a lot more of these!
Best guide I've seen. You explained everything I wanted to know. Thanks
Great summary of key tips. I love the challenge of this game. I'll reiterate your point, don't underestimate the Rotgland Lobber. It's a powerful weapon.
Great video! You covered a lot that most tip videos don’t. Thanks!
I know I’m late to the party but tapping the triangle button instead of holding it also helps with the flow. Just strafe across near the yellow or green objects while combating is really helpful
I appreciate your video and the tips you share. You have gained a new subscriber. Keep up the good work.
Great video man. No bs, straight to the point and really helpful. Off to try your tips out, thanks!
I was on the fence about this game now I can’t put it down. Thanks for the awesome guide.
same here i just picked it up brand new for $37 & it's my goty for 2021
Just picked this and ghost of Tsushima today on my new ps5. This games graphics and the haptic feed back is jaw dropping!
So apparently the reconstructor doesn't stay with you when you change areas so keep that in mind if you've already beaten a area
Turnstyle, aren’t you simply a delight! I especially love your passive aggressive slap to those who want to learn but can’t master anything after 120hrs and 3 restarts.
Oh I know I’m a BAD player, that’s why I seek out tutorials… and there’s nothing better than being belittled because it was easy for you …
Of course it was! You wouldn’t be on here making tutorials and making $ if it wasn’t easy for you to play.
Imagine my tutorials “so you die here, here, here and here, and constantly return again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again - repeat x infinity…
Stay humble 💜
2 tips you laid out there that are completely wrong in my opinion. Don't be afraid to pick up malignant items if you feel the benefit outweighs the risk, alot of the times malignant items can be the Saving Grace of a run and push you further than you've been before. Also parasites can be straight up OP compared to the negative effect. I've gotten straight up extra lives or even huge chunks of extra health bar simply at the cost of less healing on healing items or slightly less weapon proficiency gains. They are both situational but very strong depending on your run.
There aren’t too many games that I’ve quit playing. Of those there is only one that I quit early on, and only one I quit because it was too difficult. And both of those, is Returnal.
I’ve never had this much difficulty finishing the first level of anything. I got to the point where it was not fun anymore. I got to the point where the little bit of “progression“ they want you to feel you have each time you die is just not worth it. It’s incredibly demoralizing having to start from the very beginning when you make it to the boss.
I uninstalled it. I consider my $30 spent as a lesson to look at games more carefully before buying. I try to know the bare minimum on games I think might have spoilers. But now I know that getting a spoiler is a better outcome then spending money on a game that makes my life hell.
Try using the save game backup workaround so you can replay the boss fights. It only takes about 4-5 tries to get Phrike's patterns down and beat him. I'm new to Returnal and could have liked the game better if it at least let you respawn to fight the boss battles. It's still a fun and interesting game
@@ghlewis Ooooh! I'll look into that, I didn't see save files before but I'll seek them out, thank you!
@firstpersonlooter you only get one save slot. I don't have time ATM for the # of recycling that Returnal wants you to go through normally. But you have to die sometimes in the game to get good and carry your research and probably ether too.
honestly, i did not knew about the health leach artifact. Definitely going to work for it starting today,
I just beat kena bridge of spirits, I’m looking forward to starring this game!, ps5 has been amazing so far
Kena was a great game! Good luck with Returnal!
I find waiting till I have a higher proficiency and going back for chest super helpful for getting better weapons
Amazing advice as always! I'll definitely need these tips when I hop into the game.
Thanks always Sam! Don’t sleep on this one!
I absolutely love this game. Its really challenging, but I still love it😁
Great vid…
One suggestion. Watch this vid, play the game for a bit, then rewatch this vid!!! Makes soooo much more sense second time round with a bit more play under the belt
7:13 - I was wondering what that other bar was under their health. Is this somewhere in the tutorials of the game? I didn't see it.
The 25% upgrade is not dependent on current max health. The % in there is very misleading. It always gives you the same increase.
You are 100% correct! I didn’t realize until after I uploaded the video!
I LOVE THE PYLON OMG THAT GUN GOT ME THROUGH MY 1st EPISODE 😩🥺♥️
11:22 can someone please explain how or where to find the proficiency item mentioned? I made it to biome 2 but still am starting at 0 proficiency
Bought on Christmas, finally started it yesterday
By far the best Beginner guide for this game
Thank you! I’m very passionate about the game so I’m glad you found my advice helpful!
I keep waiting for a rogue like that I will enjoy, but I truly just don’t think I enjoy the genre. It’s kind of antithetical to everything I value in a game. I like progression, I like building up and accumulating things. In RPG’s I’m a hoarder with items, and I love leveling up and building my character, visiting different places and having my progress saved. I don’t like playing a one time through beat it games. I totally understand that there are SOME permanent carry overs from run to run, and I also understand that this seems to be a fairly popular genre that many enjoy. I just don’t think it’s for me, I’ve fizzled out of every single one I’ve tried, from Dead Cells to Returnal now.
Try Hades.. i have played DeadCells a lot and loved it! But hades, eventhough the concept the same as DC, i find it less demanding and more viable in the builds. if DC is a 10/10 in difficult then Hades is 7/10.
Noob here talking. One thing I'd change in Returnal 2 is the adrenaline reset, and this idea of not taking damage. I'd much rather having the game push for aggression with mechanics that incentivize taking damage than with mechanics that punish for taking damage
I mean, it's a multi enemy game with bullets flying all over the place, you'll constantly take damage. At least make me strategize around it, not fear it
LIke for the useful info and the P3 dorms 8-bit tune (y).
Instead of opting for integrity I'd go for damage upgrade shops in other rooms. A dead enemy can't hurt your integrity and you don't give them the chance to fire bullets at you.
Every time your health reaches to danger zone (red health) just Pause the game by pressing Esc and close the game by pressing Alt + F4 and restart the game. You will respawn at the same location.
Thanks for the great tips video! I am really digging the game but yeah...its kicking my butt and i am a rougelike guy! These tips are great...hopefully I can clear the 2nd biome soon!
ok here's the best beginners guide:
1 get a trainer
2 turn on rapid fire and fire away super fun especially to the ones that kills you 10000000000000 times
Super helpful - thank you!!
I played this for a several hours and i am still confused. Each run restarts process completely? Even if i get to biom 3 etc ? That is insane.
The bed in the ship never healed an inch of my HP. I've tried it multiple times. I purposely lost HP to try it, all my stats remained the exact same.
I'm not seeing the daily challenge you mentioned that is supposedly in the ship?
It should be available at one of the computer terminals inside the Helios ship yes!
@@TurnstyleVideo damn bro I swear I looked at all that stuff. I went today and boom! Got me some precious ether! Thanks man, great video!
12- 18 mins for the first biome . 😂 im 15 hours in and only passed the 1st biome once . Got to the second boss and died .
So grinding doesn matter ? I don't keep my large health o anything ?
I shouldn't have waited 1.5 years to look up tips on the game. I just wanted to brute force the first boss. After 35 hours I finally did it.
The bomberman 64 soundtrack goes well with this video.
Hey, this video was amazing thank you. Would you also mind putting down the name of the song you placed at 6::13. for the life of me, I can't remember what game I know it from.
The track is “Redial” from Bomberman Hero on N64! One of my favorite OSTs in all of gaming!
When it comes to the dead Selenes you find, why do some of the bodies morph into a super tough zombie, tentacle monster while others give you the option to salvage or avenge?
It’s really frustrating trying to anticipate what the game is going to throw at you sometimes. If you guess wrong you get annihilated.
Check the body, if it has red glowing light then it'll be small tentacle monster and not salvage.
Just got this game today and it makes me wanna blow my brains out but this guide helped me thanks
Great info Bro!
How big is the download? And is there going to be any dlc? Or unknown?
can you return to the ship from biome 5 without dying?
Just started 1 hr in and loving it. But still a little bit confused.
This game would’ve been so much easier if I had watched this video first
After watching this i still have no idea what im doing. Was this a speedrun video..... Holy hell you talk and go through it so fast.
People online: "how was I supposed to know this game was so hard?!? 😡😡😡"
The first screen on the game: "did I sound sarcastic?"
Thanks, great stuff!
Does buying the Max Integrity increase the cap? Because my first clear pretty sure it stopped me at 200%
The Integrity Cap is actually 300%, but yes you can reach a Max Integrity!
Very nice, bro, 10x!
Good tips.
Getting to the third boss is the problem for me. Once at the third boss I don't have enough resources or health to beat it
I love hearing bombermam hero music in videogame videos
Great guide man:)
How to hook on to the orange light ?
Get the hook shot by beating Ixion (Boss #2)
Good tips 👍. 1 thing though, is it me or in your gameplay it looks like your dropping frames like crazy...
It is not you OBS just sucks on my computer. Which is frustrating considering I have a RTX 2070 Super GPU + Ryzen 7 3700X CPU. However I believe I have fixed the issue recently with little errors now
Best guide I’ve seen so far my friend! Just got the game yesterday, got to the 2nd boss my first run. Your tips are going to greatly improve my future runs! I had no idea what I was doing at all with items / ether etc 🤣🖤
That is the first time I've ever heard the word 'subsequent' pronounced like that 2:02
Am I the only one who opened the Bomberman Hero OST after seein this video ?
I can’t be the only one who recognized it in the background.
Bombermabn Hero is a Top 5 favorite Game OST for me, and a lot of the tracks make for great backing music! Good ear!
I played half an hour still can't find the blade
I still haven't got the saber yet 😂
Lol damn....hang in there
@@bkde9389 to be fair I've only played for a short time of like 10 or 15 loops(runs) so not long, just feels it on long runs.
It's a great looking, feeling game. Love loops like on deathloop as a concept. It's just brutal alot of the time, went off the game for now and I will go back to it as its still appealing.
So it's like you either get good and bomb through or you don't and start again and again.. And again lol.
Wanna know the easiest way I escaped the cycle? I turned the game off 😢
very good tips video! I still think the game is too difficult 🙈
Parasites are 100% worth it, their debuffs are meh but their buffs are decent.
Woah I didn't know that you could heal by sleeping at Helios! 😮
They took that out with a patch, that is no longer Available in 2024
@joshtherrien4076 whaaaat!? That sucks. I guess you could always just play v1.0 on disc.
@@LoafingMushroom it’s still very beatable bro I just finished it in 29 hours
@@joshtherrien4076 damn I'm not even through the second biome at 60 hours lol
@ when u play brother u have to hyper focus and don’t rush ur runs take ur time
Weirdly after getting 100% of the trophies in this game and dlc I have my ether use dead opposite to this advice 😂 my number one use is malignant items
Ty
Man this game is tough
Nice video, didn't appreciate the humblebrag tho
Classic Tees Ad: "Change up your shirt style and women will be attracted to you."
Me: "Fuck off!!!"
Sweet
I REALLY want to enjoy this game, but even with your tips I am finding it harder and harder to appreciate it. It's just too damn repetitive and grinding.
If you are an old man just getting back into gaming, you will not understand most of what this guy is talking about. It's like listening to Greek. lol. Apparently, I have some gaming jargon to get up to speed on. Great tips though! Nice work. :)
Just tried again after 3 yrs. I still cant get past the first boss. Pretty pathetic or bad game design? Playing over and over again...
Most replayable game on ps5 so far
Can you sleep mid run? How do you get back in the ship?
Pc release of returnal brought me here.
So far beat first boss second try, second boss first try
I’m a casual gamer. This game is so much fun until your doing the same map 1,000 times. Took the fun completely away from the game.
