@render@JigsawPieces@Voltan@JohnnyShoulder Thanks my friends. Your encouragement was key. And thanks @NedStarksGhost for the heads up about the room when drop down the hole in Abyssal Scar. I just high-tailed it out of there after dropping down and ran past all the enemies and that worked out really well, as I faced the final boss with a full health bar, an astronaut, and 2 large silphium vials. It shouldn’t have even been as close a fight as it was, but I experimented with a consumable that increased weapon power by 100% for like 30 seconds but inhibits movement. And by inhibits movement it means “freezes you in place for 30 seconds” effectively making you a sitting duck. That mistake cost me an entire health bar as I sat there getting pummeled. Good thing I had plenty of extra health.

@Th3solution Yeah I hated that consumable and avoided it like covid.
That room after the drop destroyed me for ages. I think the Electropylon Driver helped, as I would fire a few shot before I landed to give me some breathing space. And just keep on the move, using the grapple a a lot. But definitely a tough one, and it comes shortly after you've faced a mini boss the first time.
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.
@NedStarksGhost@JohnnyShoulder Yeah, I actually never used the ‘run past enemies’ tactic during my entire Returnal experience as most of the time the tough fights were in lockdown anyways. I had a few times in my latter runs when I’d cheese one of the teleporting tree guys to follow me into an adjacent room and then I’d run back into the room I was going to and effectively trap him there because they often wouldn’t teleport back in if they didn’t see me after the door closed. But in Abyssal Scar, thankfully there aren’t doors for most of the large areas, so just running past enemies is a viable option. One the really tough Typhonops mini-bosses actually kept following me all the way to the Ophion Boss door and I slipped into the door just in time.
One more cipher to go! I never have to set foot in b2 again! My last cipher was, funnily enough, a room that spawned earlier during my first few run through but I didn’t have the blue orb permanent upgrade to get up to it! Onto b3!

@render it was weird, I was in b3 and I didn’t know that there was one in the portal, I went in, did it and I was coming out, and then it was just… there. I almost didn’t see it!

I figured when the credits rolled, I had finished the game. But going on what people are saying above regarding an Act 3.. any tips on how I go about jumping in on that and attempting to get to the real ending?
@LieutenantFatman there is something you need to find. Go back to the house….

After taking a break from getting nowhere (******** severed) I returned to returnal this week - was weighing up throwing in the towel and trading in for deathloop. Got me hooked again though and after 45 deaths I've just beat biome 2.
Didn't last long in the citadel but the new toy (grappling hook) has given me new energy to explore the first 2 biomes....
Having played a few other games during the hiatus it really made me appreciate how good the controls and haptics are in returnal.
@MatthewJP yeah, I have been sorely disappointed by haptics / adaptive triggers after returnal and astros playroom ( & a little bit of R&C:RA) Nothing gets better the ode two. If anybody had suggestions, I’m all ears!
