Secondly, getting these fragments require the use of endgame equipment. First off, fragments appear on the mini-map as turquoise triangles, so look for those upon entering a room. There are a few ways to determine whether or not a room might contain a fragment. There’s also no way to know if your current run contains the fragments without searching every room in the biome. It’s a task that could take hours to complete if RNG doesn’t favor you. You may get lucky and find the first three biome’s fragments in a single run and then have no luck in the final three. The rooms that contain the fragments spawn randomly. Getting all six Sunface Fragments isn’t a simple task due to the roguelike nature of Returnal. Sounds like a simple task, right? Unfortunately, no. The fragments are permanent items that don’t reset upon death and the in-game menu keeps track of which ones you already have. Each biome holds one fragment apiece, necessitating you travel back and forth between time periods. Specifically, you’ll need to find six Sunface Fragments. So, what do you do?Īct 3 boils down to a hunt for items. There’s still one last House Sequence to witness and Selene subtlety mentions there’s still something to do. Helios’ cargo bay has opened up with a machine that allows her to travel back and forth in time. Selene reawakens on Atropos with no clear objective marker. That triggers credits, but the game isn’t over. After defeating Ophion, the fifth and final boss, players are once again treated to another cutscene, this time featuring a car accident that occurred in Selene’s childhood. Instead, that death reboots the cycle of events on Atropos, forcing her to complete another three biomes. Of course, we shockingly learn that she’s not free of the loop. Act 1 ends with the defeat of Nemesis, giving players a cutscene where Selene escapes, ages and then dies of natural causes. Returnal is evenly divided into three acts. Only proceed if you’ve completed the first two acts of the game. SPOILER ALERT! Everything beyond the following image features spoilers for Returnal. The game, however, doesn’t make it entirely clear how to get that final ending. It’s a game that could fundamentally go on forever, but there is a definitive ending. ![]() ![]() The game traps protagonist Selene in a time-loop where she’s forced back to the start after every death. ![]() Returnal launches on April 30 exclusively on PlayStation 5.Returnal is a lengthy game that likes to play with your expectations. Instead of the usual third-person view perspective, it turns into a first-person view, making it more intensifying than usual. There is also a different point of view when players go into a mystery that Selene finds in her journeys. The Xeno-archives are purely visual that need to be deciphered while the Xenoglyphs are written and need to be translated via the language samples that players collect in their journey across the planet. They can also find the disturbed writings found on Xenoglyphs, which tell the same story but on a different point of view. When she comes out from the ship again, she finds out that the world’s environment has changed, the layouts are not the same, and the cycle of rebirth is discovered.ĭuring her journey through Atropos, players will then discover more information about the alien civilization when it thrived via holographic statues. Dangerous creatures then attack her on sight.Īfter getting attacked, Selene dies from her wounds, but finds herself resurrected again in her ship’s cockpit before the crash. For some reason, she felt that she was not alone on the planet. She discovers a lot of alien things like scary ruins of an alien civilization filled with alien corpses, statues, gates, and xeno-tech. When Selene arrives nearby the planet, she suddenly crash lands in an alien forest. She intends to follow the trail of the White Shadow broadcast signal. Game developer Housemarque has recently released a new story trailer for upcoming dark, sci-fi action thriller Returnal revealing more details on how the game mechanics work and the premise of the story.Īccording to the story trailer, all of the trouble started when the Greek-American ASTRA deep space scout Selene goes against orders in order to travel to the alien planet called Atropos.
