In case anyone isn't aware yet, if you haven't obtained your melee lightsaber yet, you can alternatively disable them pesky enemies red shield by using the Alt. Fire Blast Shell on them
I'm about to start this game and I always check tips out before I start something. This was so helpful, clear and focused that I gotta give you a comment. Well done man , thanks!
What I would say that the way the story unfolds organically as you discover and die is stunning I was unsure on this after 10 mins I absolutely love it its hard but can't stop
I avoided watching anything when the game came out simply because i didnt own a ps5. I got it yesterday and ive been having a blast since i like Roguelite games. Also the first thing i did when i got to the first body that has the firearm was to check the helmet name. After i did all i said was "now this is going to be fun!!!" And fun it has been.
Yeah I’m still at that point where I feel like it’s too hard, the game too short and small padding out the run time with arbitrary difficulty over true gameplay. But I am completely new to the game, only done a handful of run throughs over 2-3 hours of play. I can totally see it having potential and hope I’ll find it soon
Not even half way through the video and I have to give it a like because you've already covered most of my important questions, nice work and I can't thank you enough 😄. Much appreaciated!
Came here to find out how weapon ranks worked, wound up watching the whole video even though I mostly knew the rest. great content, great breakdowns, nicely done!
Thank you. I have been looking for a a video exactly like this. All the other tip vids I have found don't cover these topics. Really helped my overall understanding of these mechanics.
Whoop, one my favorite Destiny creatora also made my personal 2021 GOTY video? Nice! I just finished Biome 4 (THE MUSIC!!!) so most of the things here I already know, still appreciated.
Returnal is not so much rogue like as soul like, because your character Selene doesnt actually "permanently die," and the bosses are deliberately designed to be cheaty just to waste your time dying to them multiple times before you eventually beat them. Anyway its a great video, definitely deserves more than 19k views.
Dashing off cliffs that I cant see is by far the most frustrating thing about this game. But I feel this is deliberate part of the game. I think the game play is the story in a way because I feel like I am just being punished over and over again. Most of this game is highly unfair and unbeatable to a point.
Thank you so much EB! Ive searched all over for a guide like this. I only recently got hold of a playstation 5 and heard great things about this game.I have now been going for 3 days and STILL on. the first level lol am I fustrated? hell yeh I want smash the pad lol but Returnal is one of my top 10 games EVER!! you just gotta remember that dying is a game mechanic in this game and each run youll improve your gaming without even realising. The fact you can die and loose everything adds that dread that you use to get with the old games before they became streamlined for ease! I remember feeling similar with the orignal Tomb Raider on the saturn ,you couldn't just save where you wanted you had to search for crystals to save which meant every jump/action had to be set up and timed which is similar in technique to Returnal. If you are still on the fence then you should get this.
Yeah, really nice guide! Very useful and made easy to listen. And I am just starting my play on... PC 😈😁😎 With Keyboard and Mouse 😎 And playing on RTX 4070 in 1440p, easy getting over 120fps...
Took me about 6-8 hours to understand the game enough to beat the first boss.. take it slow explore the whole map and grab every single drop.. try to stay in adrenaline as long as possible
Jeez I'm like 12 hours into this game and I still haven't been able to beat Phrike. I've gotten so close that the 3rd phase health bar was like the width of a hair, but I always get jipped.
Great guide! I've been playing for two days now (still to beat the first boss) and this really helped clear some things up. Do you know if Parasites that say detach after.... still give you the negative effect after they detached? Also, I haven't tested this but I'm pretty sure that if you dash after a long fall just before you hit the ground you won't take damage if you have the take damage on falls effect.
I bought this game at xmas last year.i played for a bit and i got destroyed so I put it on the shelf and moved on😂. I pulled it out again on a whim and I'm hooked now. I don't even care if i can't beat it, it's hell fun anyway. I almost beat the first boss yesterday and i started on medium health level. I will beat him for sure if I'm better prepared ❤
From the side by side of the Adrenaline Melee upgrade, it looks to me like the timer doesn't change too much, but the sword looks longer and thicker (that's what she said) so maybe that is what the enhancement is?
What do you guys do on a "no gun" run? Currently about 7 out of 10 of my runs i get no weapons as upgrade in chests. Like my current run im at weapon profiency 13 in world 3, but still have my lvl1 start wespon while exploring a lot. All chest just contain on use items
Hi all. Need your help. I have full health plus 2 silphium resins. When my health goes down, which ps5 button will allow me to use those resins to bring my health back up. Couldn't figure it out. Been dieing with 2 resins unused.
If you have not figured this out the resins only go towards increasing your max hp (when you get three pieces of resin). You can pick up regular silphium which gives you health back or you can get a consumable called silphium vial or something like that, which you can use with L1 and get a chunk of health back when you choose to use it
hopefully it comes there some day, PS has eventually gotten there. Its unique enough even a year or more later it will be cool to experience whenever you get to.
I'd pretty much ignored it up to the point where it actually dropped on pc a few weeks back... taken over my free time to an alarming degree now 😁 I'd add that it plays like a dream on my ageing 2070 Super at 1440p averaging 80fps
This is the simplest, best structured and most useful Returnal guide I've found online. Really great stuff
Wow, thanks!
@@Ebontis I agree thanks so much.
Tip for the Parasite Debuff "Suffer damage from high falls"
If you dash before u get close to the ground it will prevent the fall damage.
In case anyone isn't aware yet, if you haven't obtained your melee lightsaber yet, you can alternatively disable them pesky enemies red shield by using the Alt. Fire Blast Shell on them
I was waiting for someone to say this.
Do you mean Shield breaker? I don't think Blast Shell works when I use it on shields.
Amazing Video! I couldn't play for months so I forgot the mechanics but your video saved me from starting over.
I'm about to start this game and I always check tips out before I start something. This was so helpful, clear and focused that I gotta give you a comment. Well done man , thanks!
I’ve watched quite a few vids. But yours has definitely taught me so much more. Thanks man
What I would say that the way the story unfolds organically as you discover and die is stunning I was unsure on this after 10 mins I absolutely love it its hard but can't stop
If you haven't played Hades then you should give it a try. It does a similar thing and the story is very satisfying.

I just got this game a few days ago and this has to be the best video that I’ve seen on it.
I took a break from Destiny and Ebontis made a guide for Returnal. My man! 😎

This was really well done! 👍 I just got this game and I LOVE IT!!! you cleared up a lot for me. Subscribed
the best explanation of this game on you tube ..thanks for taking the time to help everyone out .
Thanks for the very clear video. The game tutorial wasn't too clear and this was very helpful.

Excellent video bro keep up the good work
i have a feeling ima keep coming back to this one

One of the better tutorials

sometimes i play so stupid i take leaps of faith to get to a door
Solid guide. Thanks for spending your time on this 👍
Perfect video thanks for all the info
something that let me actually beat the first level was remapping jump and dash to L1 and R1 - now I can jump and dash while looking around! :)
WOW!!! Great Video!!

Yessir. U been wit ebonyis since destiny 1
Nice to see u still doin you!!
As always keep it up
Appreciate it
The reload tip was nice

Best Returnal tutorial. Thanks very much
Still, so challenging for me
great video. thank you 🙏
In addition, lv 5 adrenaline gives you a shield for the next hit which is awesome

Dude thank you
From the side by side of the Adrenaline Melee upgrade, it looks to me like the timer doesn't change too much, but the sword looks longer and thicker (that's what she said) so maybe that is what the enhancement is?
Thanks a lot
Happy to help
What do you guys do on a "no gun" run? Currently about 7 out of 10 of my runs i get no weapons as upgrade in chests. Like my current run im at weapon profiency 13 in world 3, but still have my lvl1 start wespon while exploring a lot. All chest just contain on use items
Forgot repair efficiency, which effects health pick ups
Perfect video. What’s the trick to the long lava floors? Especially when you enter rooms and lose your dash?
There's a late game permanent upgrade that you can get in I think biome 5 that negates damage taken on those floors
Enhanced melee is a melee dmg and I believe stagger dmg boost to it as well.
The game has caused me to almost break my TV daily.
Do you keep the Meele sword after you die?
So we are suppose to die in order to travel to the next biome??
Detailed!
nice!
WTF playing for almost 15+ hours and didn't know about the active reload button....
Hi all. Need your help. I have full health plus 2 silphium resins. When my health goes down, which ps5 button will allow me to use those resins to bring my health back up. Couldn't figure it out. Been dieing with 2 resins unused.
Consumables I think are default to like L1 if your controls are standard still
If you have not figured this out the resins only go towards increasing your max hp (when you get three pieces of resin). You can pick up regular silphium which gives you health back or you can get a consumable called silphium vial or something like that, which you can use with L1 and get a chunk of health back when you choose to use it
@@tonysauve1781 thanks I got it now. I need to get shilphium consumables.
👍
Maybe returnal to Destiny 2 soon? :D
@William Carter DUDE CHILL, welcome in internet tho
ps5 exlusive, blah blah blah pc master race blah blah blah
id buy it in a heart beat on pc
hopefully it comes there some day, PS has eventually gotten there. Its unique enough even a year or more later it will be cool to experience whenever you get to.
I'd pretty much ignored it up to the point where it actually dropped on pc a few weeks back... taken over my free time to an alarming degree now 😁
I'd add that it plays like a dream on my ageing 2070 Super at 1440p averaging 80fps
might be advanced but dmj is good to know about. the dash melee jump. its massively helpful
Love this game!!!!
