@kris0000 You will need to collect all 3 and unlock the door in one run, otherwise you lose any keys that you collected unfortunately. Once you've done that though the door will be permanently unlocked.
Beat biome 3! Died as I got one last shot off. Luckily I had an astronaut. Got a good lober and a decent amount of health. Tips here definitely help. Thanks all.
I’m surprised at the love for the lobber in here to be honest; I find it fairly useful but give me a decent Hollowseeker any day!
I booted the game up for a quick go today as I’m right at the end of Ghost but didn’t have enough time to commit to that so thought I’d have a quick blast. Managed to pick up the last cipher and couple of logs in biome 1 on my first run to get that trophy and have ended up putting the game into rest mode as I’m well into biome 3
(Sadly didn’t find a single log or cipher in biome 2)
@Jimmer-jammer Nice work, glad the advice was of some use 😀
@Thrillho Great stuff, you must be pleased with that. I knew you’d be back 😉. B2 was the one I had to spend the longest in to wrap the trophy up. It does seem to have a few rooms with really low odds of them turning up in it. I was definitely all for the hollowseeker at first and it’s still one of my go to weapons for B6, as long as it’s got portal beam, but the lobber is way more powerful in 1 - 3 when you have lower proficiency.
@Jimmer-jammer Right on, brother! Nice work!
So how many of your silphium vials did you have to burn through in the end? And how far did you have your second integrity bar extended?
Any specific tactic you used that seemed to help make the difference?

@render Maybe I just didn’t use the weapon enough. It can be handy in biome 2 for the flying enemies to hit them once and then hide as it chips their health away. I used it in a fight against Phrike and I’m not sure I’d fancy using it against other bosses but people seem to do well with it!
@Jimmer-jammer It’s funny how I breezed through biome 3 and Nemesis first time but biome 4 became a bit of a roadblock for me. I have no idea why as going back to it for the fragment I had no problems. I do love that boss fight though
I’ve not listened to any of them but I always find the creative process on games, albums etc interesting and there’s quite a collection of interviews they’ve got on their site.
@Jimmer-jammer Well done! I had the exact same experience when I beat Nemesis.
@Thrillho I agree with @render in regards to the Hollowseeker and Rotgland Lobber. Hollowseeker is what I used when I beat the last boss, with the traits waves, serrated edges and portal beam. I like how with portal beam II and above you get a little baby portal too! That and the Electopylon Driver are my go to weapons for Biome 6.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Game randomly crashed on biome 5 after a couple of hours run, so frustrating building Selene up, kicking a$$ only to be dumped out by a random crash back to biome 4 I go!
@kris0000 It’s crazy that these crashes still happen. I’ve not experienced any but I’m only still in Biome 3. I have about 26 hours invested in the game so far. Hopefully these crashes in the latter Biomes aren’t commonplace!
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution I had 0 crashes in my 59 hours with the game, and that was before the last couple patches - just saying
It's unlucky when they happen but I don't think they're very common.
@Jimmer-jammer Hopefully I have a similar experience with Biome 4 being a bit of a respite from the stress of Biome 3 and Nemesis. I think that’s a nice plan for me to see if I can stockpile silphium vials and yeah, the resin shield item is a nice one and I had that too when I last made it to Nemesis.
What’s been your approach as far as malignant items? Do you take on malfunctions readily or play more conservative?
I used to take all kind of malfunctions, knowing 70% of them can be cleared quickly in the normal flow of combat and exploration. But all it takes is that one crazy malfunction to ruin a shot at the boss, so now I’ve been more avoidant and basically only take the chance if it’s ‘moderate’ level risk (which seems about 50/50) or if I’m really early in the run with plenty of time to clear it. Or sometimes I’m desperate for health or obolites and I’ll take a chance then. But I’ve been burned too many times so I have changed my tactics on malignancies recently to stay clear of them.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Voltan Good to know. I wonder if some of it has to do with the online stuff. Lately I’ve been leaving online turned off. (I discovered the temptation to avenge the corpses usually backfires on me).
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution Yep, it's my first 'game breaking' crash in around 80hrs of playtime. I did have another crash where I lost about a day's progress and had to re-download my cloud save. I had just got my first key too, plus had some great parasites, artefacts. Very frustrating. However, still loving the game and I'll be back!
I tried the pylon on Hyperion, do to him sitting in one place so often, I thought it would be great. It was lvl 20 don't remember the traits, but I must have been doing something wrong. The Web almost always set up past him on the organ, barley hitting him. I think I'll search for my trusty favorite gober on the next few runs.
