Easily the best Returnal guides out there. Thank you. Also, he's a Souls fan, which helps ;) the calm commentary work perfectly for these hectic boss fights.
Because of this guide I beat the boss on the second try! It took me two days just to get to him again and I can’t believe I beat him…I could cry 😭😭😭 Your calm attitude helped me not to freak out so thank you so much!!
Ready to attempt Ixion for the 5th time with full health, an astronaut, using the reconstructer, level 7 tachyomatic carbine and a plan to whoop his but lol. Video seems like great advice. Wish me luck!
Legend, got me through this boss fight, was wrecking my head, had a small amount of health left (didn’t have to use the Astronaut). Used the carbine level 6 and Damage Siphon, also melee attacked couple times at end. The fight was so intense 🤟😎 thank you
Solid video man, sometimes I need someone else to notice something I didn’t. My first time phasing him I got caught off guard really bad during the second phase, but now I can see what I did wrong. I don’t have tons of time to play, so thanks for putting in the hours recognizing the patterns!
That phase 3 is brutal. Got it on my second try but it was by the skin of my teeth. This game is very difficult but also very rewarding. I am hoping if I have the skills to beat this guy then I have the skill to beat the game. The story actually has me really intrigued. Also side note: the haptic feedback and 3D audio are incredible in the game. Can’t imagine the game without these features.
"I don't want you thinking that I'm some pro gamer", he says. Right ;) Ashen One is the best gift for us uncoordinated gamers. A tip of the hat to you, Sir !
Thanks this was really helpful! I still can’t play this game with out about 200% integrity and about 5 silphium viles, but thanks to you I beat this boss!
Going through my first run now, havent died yet and just beat the second boss. Thanks for the tips! Just updating this, I finally beat the game and only died 1 time! It was like 5mins into biome 4, made it the rest of the way without dying. Again thanks for your videos.
Cant believe i beat this boss on first try thanks to your tutorial! Easier than Phrike. I had full health and astronaut which i did not even have to use. Still had plenty of health after. ONE IMPORTANT TIP ...always rest in between phases. You cant beat it with tired fingers!
Returnal's difficulty comes from not knowing what to expect. Once you know the basic response to everything that is happening, the game becomes much easier. In my first playthrough, I died 105 times. In my second, starting completely from scratch, I died 3 times. Most of my first time deaths were because of trying to be too fancy in the fights instead of being cautious and retreat when necessary. It's learning the dance that takes time. Returnal's gameplay is so active, smooth, responsive, and lovely. It's a very compelling game to play.
I just beat Ixion today with a sliver of health left lol but thank you so much for such a well-done guide. I would have liked to see one from you based on the third boss; but I took a peek at him, and that one looked INSANE. Also, dare I say this boss fight turned out to be... Fun?
Bruh, done from the second attempt! And I have two left… well, pretty much everything 😂 The best guide out there. I hope you have guides for other bosses too ha-ha
Omg thank you so much for this guide !!! I WAS ABLE TO BEAT ON MY FIRST TRY ON THE 2nd BOSS THANKS TO THIS & of course with the help of the astronaut on the 3rd phase I CANT BELIEVE THIS 😭🔥❤
Thanks mate. In my panic, I kept hitting my scanner and everything went blue, so I couldn't see the blue rings coming. Still finished with half my life and my astronaut!
Hey! Thank you so much! Because of your vid I was able to kill him in one shot. I wasn’t able to dodge as nice and pretty/simple as you made it, but got the job done :D (honestly still had half of heath left, used the astranaut). Those wondering I used hollowseeker, level 8 with alt fire because the electricity thing lol. I’ll say the alt electricity really drained the last of his health for phase 3, was a life saver.
Wow dude? This is amazing, your tactics amd explanation of them are amazing! Best one of the best guides I’ve ever seen, period, not just for returnal! Keep up the amazing work!
😮 WOW! I'm impressed. You made this look like easy money 👍🏾 great strategy. I made it here with my stats on level 8 and my weapon on level 8. Still loss. But with your techniques...I'll keep it in mind
Helped me bro, I fought him 6 times and got slapped. But after watching and realizing allot of these attacks are for show finnally got him first try AFTER watching this video. Nice work Subbed.
Thank you for your explanations and calm way of explaining. It was actually very encouraging and motivating to not not give, like a big brother guiding the little one. Thank you you are a gem of a person.
This helps a lot :) This game is lit. I just found out as a big hardcore souls fan I cant be more happy that I started to play this :) You have new sub 😉
I just HAD to sub after watching this vid dude! You made that Boss fight look AND sound simple! Nice , clear descriptions of what & when to do things. Truly excellent! I had a very weird crash playing Returnal a few days ago (on PC) & lost ALL my progress :( I almost quit completely but read about a mod that makes a separate "Back-up" save file. So now ive blasted through & overtook where id got to before & am about to face this Boss for my 1st time...... EDIT: Hahahaha, following this guide/vid i killed Ixion first try with 141% Health remaining!!! Lmao, i didn't even need to use the "Large Silphium" vial!!! Great vid mate, thanks!!!
Happened to be incredibly geared up by the time I got to this fight - still super nervous, though! Watched your video twice (maybe thrice) and beat Ixion on my first try! Thank you!! And even though others have mentioned it I still have to do the same. Your calm demeanor is a very nice juxtaposition to such a crazy game.
Thank you very much for this. I got to this boss last night without dying, I was playing at my absolute best whilst proceeding with caution and what happened? I died on the second phase, it was borderline devastating. This guide will really help me get through this gauntlet 👍
Thank you very much. I managed to beat him on the second try. He isnt diffucult. You made a great Guide here!! And the New benefit u get after him is super nice finally
I said it on Phrike and now saying it here: THANK YOU!! Got him on first try but your guides are excellent. Looking forward to checking you out in the next one
Great tutorial, my friend. I particularly like how you reassuringly say that our skills are better than yours when we're on the internet figuring out how to beat this thing and you just humiliated him!
Great guide. The only part I did differently though was with the cone attack. Just run away from it. You're less likely to take small damage than if you dash through it.
here I am again, after your 1st boss vid which helped me get him down, i got to the 2nd and you again poppped up on youtube Mr. Professor :D Lets see how this one goes, i cant get a +5 carbine before i get to this boss i always get pistol which I suck with
You can melee spam him in phase 3 once he is in close combat range. He will get down after a handful of strikes - I dont remember how many exactly, it was quite fast... Dont forget to dash through his counter attacks eventually. This ended phase 3 pretty fast for me and I was kinda irritated like hey thats it lol This melee spam attack reminded me of the sentinents which were a hell of a fight on a distance but super easy in close combat
Second time I encountered the boss, I had low integrity revovery & survive killing blow parasite a spaceman 150% health a large silphium vile and was at full integrity & also got revival at the machine thing for 6 ether. This boss wiped me all 3 times while my girlfriend laughed at how serious I was acting it truly broke my spirit and have been clearing rooms trying to build enough confidence to kill IXION. Thank you bro I finally have the confidence to go back to IXION to kill him this time, ur video makes so much sense
Heya @Ashen One Heya @Chat Thanks Ash for getting me past this boss he seemed insane to get through but with your clear and easy instructions I blasted through defeating my embarrassing month long battle against this TW%^$ of a boss ahaha. Having said I blasted through, those words only lasted very shortly though as I stepped into the incredible Derelict Citadel, OH MY GOD what an amazing place to explore and loot. Returnal proves 500% that people are wrong saying Gaming's easy and not good for gains, gaming IS good for gains and brains ahaha I haven't felt this vulnerable in a game since I forced myself navigating the haunting ruined hotel in Last Of Us 1 and the dark tunnels in Metal Gear Solid Sons of liberty to name a few of my childhood and early adulthood ventures Thank YOU @Ashen One I will no doubt be crawling myself back to your videos after being defeated by gaming bosses time and time again ;)
Lmao I just left another comment thanking for for helping me beat the boss just now! It took me two days to finally reach him again and your calm demeanor along with all the tips helped me win!! I can’t believe it 😭😭 So I will comment on whatever videos you want me to!! 🤣🤣
I had extra heals and an increased 150% health bar and still couldn't beat him. But I did make it to the 3rd phase with the help of this video. And hopefully I will beat him soon 😂😅🎉
I know I'm late to this comment section but I just wanted to say thank you for such a great video. It was because of your great explanation I was able to finally kill him. Thanks a bunch man!
Another guide from you - another boss from the first try 😅 Mate, I love you 🖤 Yep, the third phase made the most damage to me, but with your video it was really easy ✊
Easily the best Returnal guides out there. Thank you. Also, he's a Souls fan, which helps ;) the calm commentary work perfectly for these hectic boss fights.
Ahhh cheers dude!
by far the best
Totalmente de acuerdo. Relaja mucho el chico. Excelente explicación.
Because of this guide I beat the boss on the second try! It took me two days just to get to him again and I can’t believe I beat him…I could cry 😭😭😭
Your calm attitude helped me not to freak out so thank you so much!!
It was all you my friend! All you!
Ready to attempt Ixion for the 5th time with full health, an astronaut, using the reconstructer, level 7 tachyomatic carbine and a plan to whoop his but lol. Video seems like great advice. Wish me luck!
By far the best boss guides. I was finally able to beat Phrike after your video. Now it's time for Ixiom. Thank you.
You are welcome my friend. Ixion is all show until the 3rd phase. You’ve got this 👍💪
Legend, got me through this boss fight, was wrecking my head, had a small amount of health left (didn’t have to use the Astronaut). Used the carbine level 6 and Damage Siphon, also melee attacked couple times at end. The fight was so intense 🤟😎 thank you
I just beat him first try thanks to your guide. Knowing what to ignore and what to focus on is SUPER helpful! Thanks for creating these boss guides!
You're on the top ps5 guide for games.
Thank you for helping me pass the second boss so fun and easy.
Oooh am I? That sounds good! Glad it helped yah mate!
FINALLY, finally beat this dude... good lord I was stuck for weeks. Your vid helped so much! Now onto the third biome!!!
Solid video man, sometimes I need someone else to notice something I didn’t. My first time phasing him I got caught off guard really bad during the second phase, but now I can see what I did wrong. I don’t have tons of time to play, so thanks for putting in the hours recognizing the patterns!
That phase 3 is brutal. Got it on my second try but it was by the skin of my teeth. This game is very difficult but also very rewarding. I am hoping if I have the skills to beat this guy then I have the skill to beat the game. The story actually has me really intrigued. Also side note: the haptic feedback and 3D audio are incredible in the game. Can’t imagine the game without these features.
Thanks for your help! Another tip is to spend time in biome 2 upgrading your weapon until at least level 8-9.
You’re welcome mate! Nice to meet you! Hope you’re keeping well
It took me LITERALLY one week to beat that DEMON, and you made it look like nothing!!! DAMN!
"I don't want you thinking that I'm some pro gamer", he says. Right ;) Ashen One is the best gift for us uncoordinated gamers. A tip of the hat to you, Sir !
Beat it on my first try thanks to this guide!
Thanks this was really helpful! I still can’t play this game with out about 200% integrity and about 5 silphium viles, but thanks to you I beat this boss!
You’re welcome my friend! Nice to meet you!
Going through my first run now, havent died yet and just beat the second boss. Thanks for the tips!
Just updating this, I finally beat the game and only died 1 time! It was like 5mins into biome 4, made it the rest of the way without dying. Again thanks for your videos.
This video gave me the confidence I needed to beat this boss (on my fourth try).
Cant believe i beat this boss on first try thanks to your tutorial! Easier than Phrike. I had full health and astronaut which i did not even have to use. Still had plenty of health after. ONE IMPORTANT TIP ...always rest in between phases. You cant beat it with tired fingers!
So true 🙌 not to mention a tired brain!
After beating Phrike, I watched this tutorial and beat Ixion on my first try. Ashen One is the goat when it comes to these guides. Thx Bro
Ha you’re unstoppable mate!
Same here 🤣
Watched your video before each section and defeated him straight away, thanks buddy
Returnal's difficulty comes from not knowing what to expect. Once you know the basic response to everything that is happening, the game becomes much easier.

Returnal's gameplay is so active, smooth, responsive, and lovely. It's a very compelling game to play.
I don’t think I could have beat him as easily as I did had I not watched this video. Thank you.
I just beat Ixion today with a sliver of health left lol but thank you so much for such a well-done guide. I would have liked to see one from you based on the third boss; but I took a peek at him, and that one looked INSANE.
Also, dare I say this boss fight turned out to be... Fun?
Bruh, done from the second attempt! And I have two left… well, pretty much everything 😂 The best guide out there. I hope you have guides for other bosses too ha-ha
You’re doing this without overpowered health. What a boss.
Dude your videos have helped me beat boss 1 and just now beat boss 2 thank you SUBBED!
Your Returnal guides are so helpful! Helped my beat Phrike, now this one, Thank you 🙌
Got him in like 3 mins I am coming back to your guides everytime I hope you have all the bosses hahaha thanks again!
Ha I did stop. But could always add them in.
Beat this boss first try.. I never would have been able to do so without this video.. big thanks man!!!
These tips are spot on! If you do this, he is so easy! Thanks for this

Such a calm and peaceful narration. 👏🏻👏🏻
Omg thank you so much for this guide !!! I WAS ABLE TO BEAT ON MY FIRST TRY ON THE 2nd BOSS THANKS TO THIS & of course with the help of the astronaut on the 3rd phase I CANT BELIEVE THIS 😭🔥❤
I beat him on the first try because of your guide. funny I heard your voice inside my head when I see his attacks that have all bark no bite 😂
Thanks mate. In my panic, I kept hitting my scanner and everything went blue, so I couldn't see the blue rings coming. Still finished with half my life and my astronaut!
Hey! Thank you so much! Because of your vid I was able to kill him in one shot. I wasn’t able to dodge as nice and pretty/simple as you made it, but got the job done :D (honestly still had half of heath left, used the astranaut).
Those wondering I used hollowseeker, level 8 with alt fire because the electricity thing lol. I’ll say the alt electricity really drained the last of his health for phase 3, was a life saver.
Man this helped me so much. Passed first time after watching.. thank you
Wow dude? This is amazing, your tactics amd explanation of them are amazing! Best one of the best guides I’ve ever seen, period, not just for returnal!
Keep up the amazing work!
😮 WOW! I'm impressed. You made this look like easy money 👍🏾 great strategy. I made it here with my stats on level 8 and my weapon on level 8. Still loss. But with your techniques...I'll keep it in mind
Paused the video between each phase to watch. Got it first try. Awesome stuff!
Helped me bro, I fought him 6 times and got slapped. But after watching and realizing allot of these attacks are for show finnally got him first try AFTER watching this video. Nice work Subbed.
Watched this video like 9 months ago and I Now just pulled it off! Feels incredible in this game when you beat a level.
Thank you for your explanations and calm way of explaining. It was actually very encouraging and motivating to not not give, like a big brother guiding the little one. Thank you you are a gem of a person.
Love your tips for returnal boss fights. You feel like the Bob Ross for these fights "nice and easy" 😂❤
This helps a lot :)
This game is lit. I just found out as a big hardcore souls fan I cant be more happy that I started to play this :)
You have new sub 😉
I just HAD to sub after watching this vid dude! You made that Boss fight look AND sound simple!
Nice , clear descriptions of what & when to do things. Truly excellent!
I had a very weird crash playing Returnal a few days ago (on PC) & lost ALL my progress :(
I almost quit completely but read about a mod that makes a separate "Back-up" save file.
So now ive blasted through & overtook where id got to before & am about to face this Boss for my 1st time......
EDIT: Hahahaha, following this guide/vid i killed Ixion first try with 141% Health remaining!!! Lmao, i didn't even need to use the "Large Silphium" vial!!! Great vid mate, thanks!!!
This makes me very happy! 👍😎
no other videos really explain Phrike and Ixion battles better than these. Thanks!
Happened to be incredibly geared up by the time I got to this fight - still super nervous, though! Watched your video twice (maybe thrice) and beat Ixion on my first try!
Thank you!! And even though others have mentioned it I still have to do the same. Your calm demeanor is a very nice juxtaposition to such a crazy game.
Finally beat Ixion thanks to your excellent guide!! Thank you so much!! You’ve got a new subscriber!!
Thank you very much for this. I got to this boss last night without dying, I was playing at my absolute best whilst proceeding with caution and what happened? I died on the second phase, it was borderline devastating. This guide will really help me get through this gauntlet 👍
Beat this boss, first attempt, due to this guide!! Thanks a lot!!
THANK YOU!!!!! I have been playing this game for 2 weeks and have been stuck on this boss lol.
Thank you very much. I managed to beat him on the second try. He isnt diffucult. You made a great Guide here!! And the New benefit u get after him is super nice finally
Cheers Steve, great video. I’ve still not beaten him yet but your tips will definitely help 👍
I said it on Phrike and now saying it here: THANK YOU!!
Got him on first try but your guides are excellent. Looking forward to checking you out in the next one
Barely survived but got him with your help. Thanks so much.
Great tutorial, my friend. I particularly like how you reassuringly say that our skills are better than yours when we're on the internet figuring out how to beat this thing and you just humiliated him!
Ha trust me, if I can do it, anyone can 😂
This video is so helpful I beat the boss in 1st try. Thanks a lot man ☺️. Keep them videos coming.
Thanks a lot for your help, I managed to beat it first try without suffering too much.
Man great video. Very casual gamer and found this game on PS plus. Love/hate relationship for sure but I can’t stop playing!
Great guide. The only part I did differently though was with the cone attack. Just run away from it. You're less likely to take small damage than if you dash through it.
here I am again, after your 1st boss vid which helped me get him down, i got to the 2nd and you again poppped up on youtube Mr. Professor :D Lets see how this one goes, i cant get a +5 carbine before i get to this boss i always get pistol which I suck with
Thank you, this guide was ace - I paused the vid after each phase to do it in game and I did it first try with your help. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this. Bro, this is golden.
New Sub here. this guide was perfect for me not just for this boss but also in dashing through projectiles to my advantage. Thanks
You can melee spam him in phase 3 once he is in close combat range. He will get down after a handful of strikes - I dont remember how many exactly, it was quite fast... Dont forget to dash through his counter attacks eventually. This ended phase 3 pretty fast for me and I was kinda irritated like hey thats it lol

A pleasure my friend!
Excellent strategy, very simply explained.
Got the game yesterday and I’m always dying in the third phase. I really hope I can beat him soon.
Very good Guide.
Returnal is awesome.
You’re like the Bob Ross of Returnal
I am framing this!
Can you go on one of my Elden ring or demon souls vids to say ‘You’re like the Bob Ross of FromSoftware’ 😂😂😂
Lmao I just left another comment thanking for for helping me beat the boss just now! It took me two days to finally reach him again and your calm demeanor along with all the tips helped me win!! I can’t believe it 😭😭
So I will comment on whatever videos you want me to!! 🤣🤣
Thanks, finally able to beat this boss today.
Ashen One: I bet you guys are much better than me at dodging ;)
Me: (dies 79 times) ... why yes I am!
You made that look so easy. My problem is that I'm focusing on everything. So your guide has will make it much easier. Thanks 👍
I love a good challenge…thank you for your help I was stuck on the blue wave part I did not know you could dodge through lol
Honest to god you do the best guides out of all of those I've seen online. cheers m8.
