I love Returnal, it's an absolute great game. But there is no way I would ever attempt to go for the platinum. The first boss took me a bout 5 tries.
Amazing game! The Platinum is not too bad just the grind for the collectables 🥲
With all the updates now game is more manageable to plat.. still a challenge but much more bearable.
@@updaterequired1173 what did they change?
@@updaterequired1173what are the changes?
Maybe I got lucky or more use to boss battles but I cleared first boss on first try. I actually got to the boss in about my first 2hrs or less of experimenting.
4th boss by far coolest in the game. The music was great and how he got pissed when you messed him up and he just tries to backhand you lolol such a great fight
If you didn't notice, the music during that boss was an adaption of Seasons Don't Fear the Reaper.
It actually matters to the story. And is only one of many things that subtly flow together in the games narrative.
This games artistic and narrative design is insane.
@@sawdust8691the story is just she got into a carcrash and lost her kid and the game is in her head the trauma/pain she still feels . Nothing impressive i got bored after thats all the story had to offer
@@lilyoda787 ya, the plain story itself is fairly basic.
But the way it's told is not. That's the beauty of it.
Realizing that this whole alien world represents her grief and loss, with all the tie-ins and symbolism and everything.
All the names are founded in Greek mythology and hold meaning to the story and characters, the number of the clock on the car radio is seen everywhere, the music is evolved from the radio music.
It's just a fantastically creative way to tell a story about tragedy and grief.
I wouldn't call simple or not effective at all. It was masterfully done.
I went in expecting a generic Sci-Fi story crashlianding on a planet and escaping.
Which the game did have. But there was so much more underneath that revealed itself.
@@sawdust8691damn thanks for the in-depth insight!
@@sawdust8691finally someone who's as much interested in the story as much as the gameplay 😩. Most of the people don't even bother to decrypt the metaphors and allegories. I'm glad to see someone passionate about it. Could we talk?
Great video. Having finally gotten the platinum for Returnal, I agree that I will never do it again. It's probably a 3/10 for the grind, but the game is a solid 8.5.
For anyone wanting to go for it, my tips would be:
Don't.
If that doesn't stop you, then just know that the only troubling trophies are the surveys (one for each biome) as you need to get every xenocypher (RNG), beat a challenge room (spawn in different places per run), fall down a breakable floor, and get the scout logs (RNG).
The other troubling trophy is the sunface fragments. It's just RNG, and as the video mentions, they spawn in the same rooms every time. The rooms are of course, RNG.
As for helpful tips:
-Get the Electropylon Driver (gun)
-Stock up on any helpful items (mainly healing and defence) as you can, as well as health (integrity) needed
-Play offline (go online if you need some ether from the deceased scouts that spawn or trade your currency for them)
-Before you enter the biome you need, suspend your cycle, then save that file to the cloud (you will need a PS+ subscription for this) and if you die or can't find what you need in that biome, simply close the game and download that save into your console storage, and turn the game back on. You'll resume right before that biome wherever you stopped on your cloud save (you can check by what real world time it says it saved), and you can try again, instead of doing the whole biome again on your way to the one you need (this excludes the first and fourth, as you must start in those, but both are simple and aren't difficult to gather everything)
-Once in the biome, avoid all enemies that aren't required to beat. That gun I mentioned earlier attaches to enemies and surfaces so multiple enemies can be killed at once and quicky, while you hide and grab the obilites that fall
-Biomes 2 (Crimson Wastes) and 6 (Abyssal Scar) are the two most difficult to gather what you need, so be patient and do them last if needed.
-Cyphers are on the map as green triangles, same as items. They never spawn inside locked rooms (there is a story based exception), challenge rooms, or breakable floors. Honestly, just look up a guide on where they all are, and when you recognize a room, take note of it so that after collecting, you don't keep searching it in every cycle you do.
-It's best to really begin the surveys after beating the game. Some require tools you get throughout the game, especially late in biome 6.
Getting this platinum is akin to Selene's sanity. Failing. Unless you have time and really like this game like I did, I just don't recomend doing this. But if you're determined, I truly hope I was able to help. After this and Persona 5 Strikers' platinums, I think I'm done with the tedious long platinums for a while.
Glad you popped up in my recommended. One of my favourite games Returnal and can’t believe you first timed that 2nd boss. Had so much trouble on that boss
He's rough for sure. I think it's after playing so much of Bloodborne and Dark souls I'm used to these super hard bosses
The second boss imo is harder than any other boss in the game.
First and only game I have ever got platinum on! Took me around 8-9 hours to beat Phrike. I now have over 400 hours and love helping new players make progress. Amazing game.
Do you have a CZcams page. With videos, walkthrough tutorials on how to complete Returnal?
@@claudejones3451 No I don't. Do you have any questions or need help?
@Nicholas Parker yeah, I'm stuck on the second bio dome. I keep losing to the boss. The one right before you can get access to the grappling hook. Any tips to get through it?
@@claudejones3451 Ah man, I needed to go co-op to beat Ixion the first time lol..
Best advice I can give you is take your time through both biomes. Focus on maxing out integrity. Kill all enemies and level up as much as you can to get better weapons. Try not to go overboard with malignant items.
If you can grab an astronaut or something that gives you a second life.
With regards to the combat, not much to say really. Learn his moves. In the first phase just focus on staying on the opposite side of the platform. Second phase stick near the edge near the rock face (best place to jump over his waves). In the last phase just kill him as fast as possible. Learn to perfectly time your jumps to hop over the three rings he blows at you. And use your dash, your invincible for a split second. You can dash through projectiles, waves, etc.
@@R4ttl3h34d yo add me? I get the concept, I’ve beaten it twice solo, I just have no idea how to Aquire specific pieces
Honestly I’ve been having a blast going for this plat lol. Yes the game can be hella unforgiving at times but that just means I get to run it back. The fact that the game changes every time means it stays fresh
It's an amazing game
It’s such a brilliant game. I’m not a big rail shooter or shooter gamer period, so this quickly humbled me but also helped me get good at these types of games
I feel the same way with the 4th boss so epic. I literally stood there for 20 minutes on stream just listen to the music because chat didn't want me to go in just yet. I love that boss fight
I immediately looked up the OST after playing and just listened to the music it's so good haha. I also didn't wanna go into the fight
@@TannerJaye I totally understand lol that atmosphere is always going to stick with me
I like how you showed your reaction for all the trophies. Neat! I just platinumed the game.
Really excited to play this when I finally get a PS5, great video man, Keep up the good work!
Such a great game you'll have a blast! Thank you 🙌🏻
Easily my favorite platinum ever. I just loved this game so much.
It's an amazing game
I loved the game but couldn’t make myself get the platinum I just couldn’t be asked with the collectibles😭
I got my platinum for this last week and yes the rng hell is absurd!! Nether the less i had a great time with this game, the story telling is awesome and the hyperion fight is easily the highlight for me 😊
Agree!!!
Back here a while after I got the platinum myself, now working on completing the dlc. Your video have me the push to platinum this game and you weren’t kidding about the grind for the ciphers. Even still, I like the game enough to finish up the dlc after. The gameplay is great for me, I really have come to like the fast paced combat. Thanks for this video.
The ciphers are a grind but the game is sooooo good that it's worth it. Congrats on the platinum!
I found tying the jump and dash to the shoulder buttons helped. Still haven’t been able to get passed the third boss though
This game is my secret obsession... I'm grinding thru a platinum run now. I could spend days playing this
Pro tip put the gm in offline mode helps with finding the ciphers. I got the platinum New Year’s Eve evening. One of the most satisfying plats I ever gotten.
@TheDavidrc55 good looking. I need 2 data cubes in story mode. But I'm currently grinding through the Tower, upgrading all the weapons. Plus it's just so much fun
Most of the platinum was so much fun for me but having to find that last collectable that's completely random took me foreveeeeeeeer to get.
Me too hahah
Hey man, i got almost everything (including tower) but the Damage Syphon datacube isn't appearing to me at all.
I know is in the first biome, got any tips to what i can do? did 100+ runs so far and still nothing ahahaha
This game started my stream career and built my community. I owe this game so much glad your having fun with. New subscriber here
That's awesome! Thank you for Subbing welcome 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I`ve just got the platinum and I should admit that I`ll brag a lot because of this platinum in the future. Fascinating and compelling game, the only problem were, in my opinion the surveys, game director MUST have designed them differently.. Anyway, Returnal platinum has been added to my collection !
Proud owner of a platinum and 100% on Ascension. I can't wait to replay the game but for sure I would not be able to finish Ascension ever again. That's the toughest piece of game I ever experienced
I’m usually ass at games like this but I only died against two bosses in this game and barely struggled. I really enjoyed this game, it was really good.
Such a fun game! It was tough but fair
Awsome platinum 👍 i was going nuts grinding for the collectables.
"Oh I ve got returned because I've had the parasite!" RETURNED BY ASTRONAUT - big on the screen 😂😂
😂 I agree with u, collectables did my head in, but I got platinum finally.
Your ALT fire was cooking him at 16:27 🤣and then the pain came 🥲
So much pain 🥲
The thing with the 3rd biome is that when he drops to the last health bar, you can start shooting from the place you spawn, there is no need to get close first!!!
I did this on a previous account and will be doing it again for my account I'm using now. I didn't really have much issue with bosses as I beat them all first time apart from dying once to the first one, thing I struggled with is certain enemies, like the ones in biome 3 those drones that fly straight at you and the challenge rooms with the squid looking thing stuck on the door that you have to shoot off.
your wow wow wows is killing me bro! the video was dope
😂
throws himself off the stage twice(meaning he died twice) but still goes "first try!" hahaha
love it XD
yeah, but you don't actually die, you just take damage.
I first tried the 3rd boss which is the hardest in the game but it took me at least 8 tries to beat the first boss.
Best game ever made, literally perfect! Love Returnal so much
Finally got the platinum on New Year’s Eve evening was grinding like crazy that last week of the year. One of the most satisfying plats I gotten.
I'm starting a RETURNAL tattoo sleeve 6/23/2024. The main focus of the sleeve is PHRIKE. Then I'm waiting for the art book to come out this Nov or Dec and go from there. RETURNAL is still the best PS5/PC Port to date. The graphics and gameplay are unmatched.
I love the game so much that getting the platinum went natural for me. I just had to do some easy clean ups when I realised I was at 90%.
Acending the Mountain trophy took me 65 hours. It was truly a nightmare to find the secret room.
Great man u did an awasome job, I am still stuck on 3rd biome though I started 4-5 days back....for me just getting to the end boss and having that final cutscene would be enough.
You can do it! The third boss is the hardest. Once you get the gun that shoots trip mine lasers it's easy mode
@@TannerJaye ok thanks for the tip
Watching this video made me give this another go at the platinum. I was stuck against the first boss but after 2hrs I got the welcome home trophy which I couldn't do in my last 2 attempts and 1 attempt on the first boss and beat him.i restarted my whole game again and this time feels different like I could achieve the Platinum.
Awesome! You can do it💪🏻
Returnal a very good game, bosses very nice and entertaining as well as the tower, only frustrating thing of the game is the collectables, but have to give you a big friendly applause for such a very good and nice video 🙂👏👏💯👍.
I love your games choices man similar to mines this game was so annoying with RNG trophies that crimson wastes biome bro i’ve been searching for sooo many hours until i got that goddamn cipher, you deserve more subs & views keep this shit up man you’ll be big one day mark my word 👏🏻.
Yo thanks bro! Dude the grind for the cyphers was soooo insane the RNG killed me haha. The grind took longer than the actual game! Haha
Was tempted to get this game but dont think i can handle the sensory overload with all the objects and colours. Plus it seems like i game i would lose interest in having lost over and over again
This game looks amazing, I've never even heard of it lol. Going back thru your video log to catch up on one's I've missed!
It's really good!
I'd highly recommend it dude! It's challenging at first but if you stick with it it becomes incredibly rewarding. Easily my fav ps5 exclusive
9 ciphers left in the desert for me, I know it's going to take at least a week or two, but I've never been this close to being done. The Abyssal Scar was by far the most depressing and challenging survey for me.
You deserve to be so much bigger bro, also been binging all your vids lol, respect from NZ
Yo thanks Kane! Appreciate you watching!
"Oh my god it's finally over!".
Sounds like you had fun playing the game.
The grind at the end was pretty brutal but the game is amazing
You are going to become mega famous, you are literally the next big thing dude. I’m so excited to see everything from in the future
Wow thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy the videos! 🙌🏻
Damn…. And I’m gonna download it AGAIN. Finally need to get all 6 of these Sunface fragments.
Do itttttt just power through
I can’t imagine trying to get the platinum. I just got to the third biome and the difficulty spike leading up to the boss is crazy.
That third boss ruined me but the 4th boss music made up for it
I liked it a lot, finished the game really fast. Now I'm having trouble with the Cyphers
VANS needs to sponsor you!!! great vids man!!
HAHA! The DREAM! Thank you!
Crimson Wastes is by far the worst to collect all the glyphs. Took me two months, about 25 hours just for that ONE glyph that spawns in the same room as ever you pickup the Datacube. Have to use Grapnel to get up there...smh Housemarque!
Play this game offline for collectables. Took me 70hrs for the platinum! It was so rewarding getting that last rng room with the stupid marking on the wall
Haha the collectables we're crazy the RNG was wild
Retrying the plat after giving up with 3 survey trophies left. Love this game to bits but the rng is insane. I have 100+ runs beat the game 30+ times and still missing 1 xenoglyph for the last 3 biomes
if you're on a run that doesn't have one of the surveys, do you restart the run? I'm a little confused on how these collectibles work
Yea you have to restart until it spawns. It sucks haha
Love this game. Great vids btw, keep it up. Subscribed.
DUDE Its so good! Thank you so much! New Vid coming real soon
The tower is good for practice it's good to do it through your play through of the story. It's just practice.
Very nice man, keep going 👍
Thank you! 🙌🏻
Great game - now try to 100% the databank matrix?
I just finished this game about an hour ago. Won’t do platinum though, just glad i got through it to be honest lol - hella fun. If you have no patience dont even attempt this game.
It's crazy that i died like 100 times at the first boss because i didn't know what i was doing,meaning not encreasing my healt and other things before the boss,but finished the second and the third in 2 tries, and the last 2 bosses on my first try😂
I'm very curious as to how you have this custom camera frame and have the trophies and UI appear, as I believe it doesn't when streaming directly, so what's the secret?
A capture card and OBS
@@TannerJaye yeah, that's what I figured as well - tysm!
It’s one of the best endless runners I’ve ever played
Hey I only need 4 more surveys, what I need to know is if I don’t find what I’m looking for, do I need to restart cycle and look again right then? If anyone can tell me that would be much appreciated
Yes you do have to restart it's all rng based it's not even guaranteed to show up
Maximum respect to you sir.
I freaking got the surveys done finally!!!! Only because of your video, my very first platinum. But it gave it to me and I missed one of the tower trophies
Hey Congrats! Those surveys were brutal haha
I appreciate your work man thanks!!
Best PS5 game till this day(11/march/2023 even after GOWR and ER, so addictive to play with amazing story and crazy fast gameplay
This game stresses me out so bad but I CANT STOP PLAYING.
Hahah
I loved this game! I got the Plat too 😊 The RNG on the biome surveys were dooog shit😂😂
Same! Yea they were the worst haha
Hey I am doing the surveys right now I only need 3, my question is, if I don’t find the glyphs I’m looking for, do I restart cycle or move on the the next biome and look for those? Any tips anything would help. I haven’t had anything spawn in the desert for a very long time.
@@The80Kat yes you'll have to restart until it finally shows up
Ok then, back to the desert….. again. I appreciate the response, watching your video helped a ton.
@@The80Kat no problem! Yea it's just a huge slog haha
i am trying to plat this game and the worst part is...:
the easy fix for make this searching for collectables is showing in the map if there are any. When i click they just show some triangle and i could be anything...
God this game was so good
Try the platinum on Alienation on Hardcore mode (PS4) also by House Marque.
Only the very best need apply.
Gonna start my platinum journey with this tonight. Wish me luck.
You got this!
@@TannerJayethank you sir. I already know it'll be tough, but I'm gonna push through.
I am late, but if you platinum Returnal you got my subscription. 😮 keep it up 👍
Thank you 🙌🏻
Sorry for dropping this video at 3:42. This artstyle and gameplay looks way too engaging to spoiling this game further. Thank you for the turn on!
Definitely play it! It's great
Your the best keep up the good work
Thank you! 🙌🏻
Me at the start of this video : Maybe I'll give this game another go
Me half way through the video : Ye maybe not
Hahah it's a great game I swear
I love return all bu we gotta admit its one of the most frustrating games game of all a time jus case of the loop theme if not it would be like blood borne type shooter
I feel your pain 😂😂😂😂😂
Missing 2 Ciphers in Biome 2 and 6. I am about to get absolute Mental 😂
The only good thing about dying is that you get better and better before attempting the bosses in the game.
I remember i killed nemesis from the first try, and at this moment 9:36 my eyes unconditionally teared up, i was so scared to lose my progress but i did actually win, absolute masterpiece of a boss fight
One of the best plot twists I've seen in a game. Imagine living for for decades almost forgetting about the whole thing and then being dragged right back into it when you die. Absolutely brutal.
@@blackzero1956 right
I feel like some regular enemy mini bosses, are harder than the real bosses. For me at least.
Btw what was the hardest Platinum for you, Returnal or Cuphead? 😊
Cuphead is for sure harder for me at least!
@@TannerJaye I think it's returnal not gonna lie, I'm still not done with it but it's pretty tiring, massive respect for you getting crash 4 and sekiro though, you are truly hard-core tanner. Keep it up
@@aadipieReturnal can be sooo rough haha! Thank you my friend
Just got the platinum for returnal...And NO JOKE the worst part for me was collecting xenoglyhps
Platnuim. I can’t even get through 10 minutes. I’ve never felt so stupid. Very cool though visually
Trying to platinum a roguelike sounds like a nightmare
I had the opposite experience, I was stuck at Phrike (1st Boss) FOREVER and then I one shotted Biome 3 and Biome 6 bosses
The last collectible in the Crimson Wasteland nearly drove me insane. But I've gotten the platinum as well
Crimson Wastes is by far the worst to collect all the glyphs. Took me two months, about 25 hours just for that ONE glyph that spawns in the same room as ever you pickup the Datacube. Have to use Grapnel to get up there...smh Housemarque!
Did they make the game easier? I just finished it for the first time with only 5 deaths total
They patched it several times & definitely easier than those first few months after release. I beat it back then & was way more difficult. No suspend & astronaut Artifact spawned about 5% of the time, meaning only the reconstructor could allow for a 2nd "life". Not just that, they ruined the AI of some enemies like the drones in Biome 3 - they're still tough, but originally if you didn't finish them, they all would kamikaze you & just one hit for 30-40% of your integrity, so a group of 5 was instant death if you didn't kill them quickly enough. Lastly, the Silphium drops were increased everywhere which REALLY helps you survive longer. Example, in Biome 2 originally, 50% of all Resin & Silphium was Spoiled/Malignant, now its about 20%. There's more but if you wanna see for yourself, get the disc & load it offline for day one brutality of Returnal.
Edit: also the map didn't show any markers originally, only the mini-map showed items, Silphium, parasites, etc. So you really had to pay attention if you left anything for later pick-ups like Silphium or Resins, weapons, etc.
Crossover with Nick AR?
lol how on earth did you only get max adrenaline on biome 3 😅😅
I recently got Platinum :-) Took 1 year and 6 months 😅 Bosses became easier and easier every try, but the Ciphers made me hate my Life. Still an awesome Game!!!
An amazing game!
@@TannerJaye this games platinum trophy scares me
@@bobfred123100 it's actually pretty fun!
lmao i commented on the wrong video i ment to comment this on the crash video
How you get your health permanent like that?
Silphium fills your integrity.
Small = 15%
Regular = 30%
Large = total refill (any % needed to get hp topped off)
But if you're at full integrity, every Silphium becomes a Resin. Resin fills your upgrade meter (3 hashes in you right side HUD). Small & Regular fill a single slot, Large fills two slots. Each 3 slots filled, unless you have Upgrade Mechanoid which reduces it to only 2 slots per Upgrade, gives you an extra 5% max integrity/hp. There also Parasites & Artifacts that will increase the effectiveness of your Upgrades to get up to 8% increase of max integrity/hp.
I save all Silphium if at max hp & make mental notes of sizes. End of Biome, pickup a Large to fill up then grab the smalls & regulars to fill those Upgrade slots.
I’m starting this today after an easyyyy Spiderman plat. Your collectible grind has me scared 😭
The RNG for the collectables can be roughhhh
Good Gameplay Video
Thank you!
you should have seen the collectable grind before they increased the areas that they could spawn in. I spent 2 weeks just speed running biome 1 over and over to get scout log 9.
I just got platinium yesterday. My reaction was same XD relief
It was a big relief haha
Absolutely love this game, no way in hell I’d attempt the platinum though especially with the house trophy and the RNG associated with it
The Ciphers were the worst part
@@TannerJaye definitely!!! Those are the only trophies I have left for the platinum...4 of the the survey completion trophies...it's rough with the RNG
Returnal and Demon's Souls are the two toughest games I have
The ascension DLC and introduction of Co-op mode makes it infinitely easier to do most of it. If you can find a player who knows where to look for all the shit and is competent in combat it alleviates a lot of the frustration. You don't even need a hard carry, but a helping hand while you git gud and start earning some premanent upgrades really helps. That said the RNG for the surveys is all that stands between me and the platinum now and I am not looking forward to it.
good luck!!
Also if you didnt know the song played during the 4th biome is Dont Fear the Reaper
I did! Great song
Actually insane.
Yes. Yes I am 😂
wait... this guy beat two of the bosses before he even got level 5 adrenaline? wtf how 😂
I did first boss at Lv 2 had no idea what I was doing but I got it done
Yeah that is suspicious..
