I'm at 19/20 and this wasn't the one, but I still appreciate videos like these! At this point, I feel like the hunt for these glyphs was intentional to make us feel what Selene is going through.
If they really wanted to mess with us like Selene, they wouldn't put it in the game at all - stuck on an infinite quest to find something that doesn't exist.
After paying Returnal offline for the first time since the beginning of the run I finally found that last extremely rare xenoglyph from Biome 2 ! I think the game stays bugged for that level if we keep playing online only !
Such a haunting feeling when you find a rare cipher. Almost like seeing a ghost or something out of the ordinary. When finding the hardest ciphers I always took a moment in disbelief that I actually found it, I made sure I recorded the game play clip and had Selene strut around around the cipher like Denzel did when he found his new shoes in the book of Eli movie😂 I hated those rare ciphers that spawned during timed events like when you have to pick a rising platform from 3 paths where one leads to the spawned cipher. I remember having to do that in biome 6 for the last cipher I got there and in the tower of Sisyphus where I got the last cipher for the game.
This chipper is extremely rare or my games are bugged. Just missing this ultra rate xenoglyph to platinum two different accounts. More then 100 runs at the Biome 2 in each account and I have never seen this room before. Thanks for the video. Now I now I could not find it yet not because I'm blind or some thing but because this room never ever spawned to me.
I’m at 18/20 and going crazy because they’re not spawning. At least coming here made me realize it wasn’t something wrong with my game or anything just bad RNG
Not sure as many are still looking at this video 3 years later, but a HUGE shout out! This was the last one I was missing! Second to last one was from another version of biome 2 where the main path was off to the right instead of going straight north.
That was the last cipher I got in biome 2 as well. I didn't risk it by rushing though. I took my time when I realised that room had spawned. It took ages for me to get that room to spawn.
@@NFIHammer just got back there and realized that I already had it 😭. I think I’m missing the one from that other rare room with the big column in the middle but I’m at a loss as to the second
@@NFIHammer i finally got it. But it was not the one I thought. The last one I needed was in that round coliseum like area.Finally got the trophy. Now need biome 3, 5 & 6 survey trophies for the plat 😅
I have done 50-60 speedruns now and still dont see this room. Only have this and one cypher left in abysmal scar. I get trying to make a game difficult but this random shit aint fun . Is there anything that can help in spawning this room?
Thanks so much for this video 🙌🏽 the only one I had left for the board 🥳… now only 2 left for the last water board and I’ll have platinum and can finally retired this game for good 😩😂🙏🏽
@@NFIHammer roll out the red carpet I’m in the platinum club 🥳 3.1% I’m going to Disney world 🤣… sleep for a few days then get either Demon Souls or Last of us 2
I just broke 300 hours in Returnal. Only thing I'm missing is 1 xeno from biome 2. I know ive been to that exact spot multiple times, cant imagine I would miss it. Is it possible for this room to spawn but the xeno does not? Ill try again tonight and keep an eye out for this room, but I'm not convinced this is what im missing, and i've done literally everything possible in this game. Still love the game, and dont mind that im missing something as it gives me a reason to keep playing, but its getting ridiculous at this point having beaten the game at least 300 times.
I play Returnal every night for about 1 hour before bed. I dont know what it is about this game but it is the perfect balance of difficulty with the combat that I have ever seen. I have my main game I play after work (just finished God of War, playing Horizon now, Jedi Survivor next) then when Im done I move on to the next release. But, Returnal still keeps me coming back every night. Top 3 greatest games ever made in my opinion. Still havent found this 1 thing I'm missing, but it gives me a reason to keep playing I guess outside of the fantastic gameplay. @@NFIHammer
That is something you unlock after finishing the second act from memory. It's ok if you haven't seen it yet, you can still find the cypher without unlocking it.
I just did this method ONCE, and already found another cipher, going for the number 20th now, which I believe will only Spawn if I see the glowing orbs right at the begging right?!
how can you celebrate a trophy you obtained by luck? That is my main criticism with the game. So much is based on luck. We’ve all completed the game multiple times if we are trophy hunting. We’re all proficient at the game so our achievements aren’t skill based when it comes to getting platinum, it’s luck. Some people have been playing for months and over a year and never had certain rooms spawn that were needed to complete surveys, particularly with the Crimson Waste. The issue only seems to be with that biome. I had no problem with biome 3. The biomes I spent far less time in, biome 3, 5 and 6 and I got most of the ciphers in those biomes just playing the game to get the first ending. I barely explored biome 5 after that but biome 2, the one I’ve spent most hours scouring and not only have I not found the final cipher I’ve had artifacts, health vials that were inaccessible because they didn’t load probably in the game, like they were in the ground, ruins, stuck in walls and i’ve even had invisible bugs kill me off in that biome when there wasn’t anything there like my first time in the biome when I was killed slowly by a sand storm that still drained my health when I ran into a temple for protection. Drained my health from 200% integrity which was built up over a hard grind in the previous biome. Crimson waste for many can simply be a waste of time. It’s a buggy mess, not clever game design. All the flaws lie with that biome. The others are rarely straight forward and work as they are supposed to. No way was it intentionally made to be so frustrating. Whilst the environment is beautiful, I hate that biome the most which means there is zero reason to return to it once getting all the collectibles it contains. I would have zero desire to replay the game from start to finish all because of biome 2 if I had already platinumed the game. I would probably just play the dlc. Think house mark or whatever the fuck the developers name is need to patch and fix biome 2.
Thank you so much. I was sick and tired of running through Biome 2 all the way, but your video helped me out. Thank you!!
No worries, it was driving me craze too.
@@NFIHammer Hi, so i must wait that the area appears? Is random ?

PSA: disconmecting from the internet means the dead scouts will not interfere with the RNG. I finally got this 1st time after disconnecting

I think the game stays bugged for that level if we keep playing online only !
Dude I had been trying for the past 2 hours to get this room and my actual first try on a new run offline I got it! I appreciate the tip man!
I am going to try this, Ben H. I am at 13/20 cyphers - i have done 2 full runs and still stuck there!
Tested this works
Thanks a mill for this video! This was the last one I needed. This strat saved me a LOT of time!
Glad it helped!

i feel you man!
feel you too
thank you! just got my platinum. it was nr. 20/20 for me.
I’m at 18/20 and going crazy because they’re not spawning. At least coming here made me realize it wasn’t something wrong with my game or anything just bad RNG
Imagine if you died after finally getting it to spawn
That happened to me. Now running a million times waiting for the room to spawn.

Thanks for the strat! Took me around 10 replays to get it, now last ciphers in citadel and abyss to plat!
YOU ARE A LEGEND, THANK YOU!!!
No worries, happy I could help!
Thank very much 🏆👍🏻 20 hours explored inot xenogrifs
Excellent!
That was the last cipher I got in biome 2 as well. I didn't risk it by rushing though. I took my time when I realised that room had spawned. It took ages for me to get that room to spawn.
Oh man.... Thank you ! Was about to become totally insane =)
Enjoy!
I need this gah damn cypher. Going to try to speed run through it and take the shortcut to work my way down tomorrow. Hopefully that room will spawn.
It will, it is just a grind. You got this!
@@NFIHammer I was working my way up but will try this method. Hopefully with the news update the room will spawn
@@NFIHammer just got back there and realized that I already had it 😭. I think I’m missing the one from that other rare room with the big column in the middle but I’m at a loss as to the second
@@JayRican3000 Sorry to hear that. Hope you figure it out soon.
@@NFIHammer i finally got it. But it was not the one I thought. The last one I needed was in that round coliseum like area.Finally got the trophy. Now need biome 3, 5 & 6 survey trophies for the plat 😅
Thanks man! I've been hours trying to get this one!
No worries, glad you could find it.
You deserve more subscribers
That must be the missing one for over a year now. Gonna tackle it tonight!!!
Got it the second run
Awesome, glad you found it!
I just got it after watch this. thanks!
No worries, happy it helped!
Finally got it, thank you! :)
No problem!
I just need one cypher in citatel and audio log 63 in abyssal scar, the one in abyssal scar is just not spawning for me.
After watching this I got it on my 2nd try. Thanks!!
No worries, glad it could help!
2nd try? Bro u so lucky, took me like at least 3-4 hours to find it
Im getting excited feeling like this might be it 😵💫
Fingers crossed, let me know if you find it!
@@NFIHammer thanks again man that was the one 🤘🏾
I believe I need this one and one in the large opening area with a few large platforms. Never seen either area
Yeah it's really really rare, keep looking!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!
No worries, glad I could help! If you can like and subscribe it helps me out.
@@NFIHammer cool
Doing the same. Go on tomorrow.. Hope this one will come soon :) Then i finally can do that secret ending to get platin
Keep grdinging and you will get it (eventually)!
@@NFIHammer Already have it. Did get it one day after posting this comment ;)
This must be the one I need. Can’t imagine the last one being anywhere else
Yeah this one was a real pain to find! Hope you get it soon.
Help please... I have 19/20 xenoglyph, i dont know where is the last.. Please help in coop
Will do! You will get there, just have to keep grinding.
I have done 50-60 speedruns now and still dont see this room. Only have this and one cypher left in abysmal scar. I get trying to make a game difficult but this random shit aint fun . Is there anything that can help in spawning this room?
Not that I know of, it's just luck. Some people get it on their first, some on their 100th run. Sorry, hope you get it soon.
@@NFIHammer finally got it after 100+ runs. Now just one left in biome 6 and the grind ends. Hopefully thats less torture
I’ve got this one but I’m still missing one more 19/20. Not sure where it’s supposed to be
Thanks so much for this video 🙌🏽 the only one I had left for the board 🥳… now only 2 left for the last water board and I’ll have platinum and can finally retired this game for good 😩😂🙏🏽
No worries, the pain is real but the feeling when you get that Plat is amazing! Keep grinding.

In the first area what was the orb thing you shot? Not seen one before on any of my cycles yet
That is something you unlock after finishing the second act from memory. It's ok if you haven't seen it yet, you can still find the cypher without unlocking it.
@@NFIHammer ah awesome thank you buddy my first time playing attempting third boss again soon 🤣great game though

Glad it worked for you. Not sure if the glowing orbs trick works or not, but keep grinding and you will get it!
Thank you man with this method i found the last 3 i needed in less then 30 minutes tips turn off the internet :) now yo find the last 2 on biome3
Glad you found it and it could help you!
@@NFIHammer any tips for the biome 3 i need one more :(

Can you still collect the Xenos in co-op?
Legit can’t find the last xeno in Crimson Waste, have done so many runs D:
The last one I was missing was on biome 2 on the room with hand and a tiny tornado
Ahh yeah I remember that, glad you found it.
When did this turn into beautiful world ?
Perfect...
🏆
6:57 lol you fell fail 😅. ok I got you thank for help this really so much pain me look like puzzle or maze too tough hard omg first time dude
Oh yeah, at this point i was losing my mind just trying to find them all. Glad I could help!
Muchas gracias, thanks u to much 😉
No problemo.
This one wasn’t the hardest for me. The one that took me forever was one of the ones outside near the start lol
Glad you found it!
❤
Damn I got this one already and I still need one more lol
Good luck, try and find/remember which one you need and then optimise for that
@@NFIHammer thanks I actually found it like 10 minutes after my initial comment. Nice video
Broooo you save me thanks
No problemo!
I need this one for my Platinum. 😖
No worries, keep trying and you will get it!
