@adrianthealchemist The key is not permanent (I learned that the hard way by dying before reaching the vault with it) but if you opened the vault, it remains open

@JigsawPieces I think I tried that and it just came up with 'Continue to explore biome' or something like that. Before it would come up with a percentage and I think it it was at 98%. I'll double check tomorrow.

Quick question: How did Selene shoot down helios after the house segment?

@adrianthealchemist Quick tip. The last boss actually drops silphium sometimes so make sure to look around when you can (like between phases).

@Just_2_milky Using that big AA canon she woke up next to, apparently... but if you're asking how she could be on Atropos surface and inside Helios at the same time... I got nothing

@Just_2_milky @Voltan I think I read someones interpretation of that being that Selene goes back in time, so the echoing ruins are set before the overgrown ruins. I'm not sure how that works though as surely the fact that she saw herself crashing means that both the overgrown ruins and the echoing ruins exist at the same time. Perhaps that's just an oversight but I have a feeling that there is more to it than that.

@JohnnyShoulder Have you done the challenge room in that biome as they count towards the survey trophies?

@Kidfried Totally agree. I've finished the game and just enjoy reading other peoples experiences with it. I'm still tempted to delete my local save to start again but will play a few other games first I think. By then hopefully there might be some DLC 🤞

@JohnnyShoulder You need to get all the fragments, do the last house sequence and only then defeat Ophion again - you need to use an item from the last house sequence in the area after the Ophion fight to trigger the other ending.

@render Yep, several times.

I just started the game up and the trophy popped for the survey! 🤷‍♂️

@Voltan My last sun fragment was in Biome 6, I was in a good place to take on the boss after clearing out Biomes 4 and 5, so didn't wanna reset that run. I need to go back and collect the last glyph and do the containment room anyway. I didn't find it that difficult tbh, but I did have over 200% health and the rest of my stats were pretty high.

@JohnnyShoulder Sure, that's understandable - I'm just saying you probably haven't actually finished Act 3 yet

@johncalmc Make sure you do the house first. You need the 6 things to get the thing from the house that you need for the ending

@velio84 I missed your comment about another thread for spoiler discussion. That's a good idea and I'm up for that if anyone else is?

johncalmc

@Voltan Yeah I've done all that already. I just keep trying to get back to the boss and I keep getting killed right before I get to it. It's the room after the drop that's getting me. Hopefully I can get the right weapon and then I should be able to sort it out.

@johncalmc Is that the one with the green tower in it? Gotta love that one, it's always a party in there!

@render @velio84 I like the idea. Definitely more convenient than using the spoiler tags. I’m not sure I’d have much input myself but I’d be interested in reading some wild takes

@johncalmc I really, really struggled with that room too initially. Was a tad more tolerable when I did it yesterday, but all my stats were quite high and I had lots of health vials.

@velio84 Cheers, will also write something up when I get the chance and have a look back through my bookmarks at the more interesting theories to post there 👍

Just got to biome 3. The second boss went first time I got to it. Honestly the smaller like versions of the boss on the way to the boss were much harder for me. I also now understand the frustration of the drones. I think my approach to them will be to just run to the nearest door and pick them off one at a time going in and out of the door.

@Elodin Awesome! We’re in roughly the same place now then. I haven’t had time to play for the last few days though. I had a couple hours last night but part of the issue with this game is the time commitment for a good run so I didn’t turn it on since I feared I’d have a good run going and I’d end up staying up too late and be sleep deprived and hating myself at work today! 😄
