r/Saros

Early game = "I don't know why I'd pick anything up other than the smart rifle and tactical rifle. The bullets always hit the targets so I can focus on dodging, avoiding and shielding."

Mid game = "Oh, this repeating crossbow is the best weapon in the game by far. It's main fire has a little auto aim, but it's alt fire does a little less damage but sends out unlimited bowes and continues to do damage to enemeies. Oh what's this - "Power Generator" - looks like I can always keep my power weapon charged up because I do continuous damage with the bow, especially the alt fire. Oh - the smart rifle and tactical rifle have power generator sometime too? They are a good secondary option."

Late game = "These chakrams are weird, but wait ... these are the best weapons in the games! The reaping chakram especially, but the myriad chakram and even the ripsaw chakram is OP too. I don't need power generator. This is more powerful then my power weapon, and anyway, I can charge that up with artificats! Also, the shotgun actually is freaking awesome with blazing punch, I can stagger an enemy, and bounce all around the room taking them down."

I know some people like those pistols, especially with the alt fire that you can shoots as fast as you possibly can, but never clicked with them like returnal. Thoughts?

I know nothing has been confirmed yet, but do you think disappointing sales numbers could eventually push Saros toward a PC release in the future?

Trying to beat the epilogue. Good run on the yellow shore. Got the weapon I want. Big solar cage room before the last bit to the King.

All enemies were immune. I’d already cleared the side paths and cleared the totem on one side. There was not a totem on the other side path.

All the enemies in the solar cage room were immune. Not even overdrive could kill the Corrupter boss. Had to quit.

What a shitty bug.

I couldn’t quote it exactly, but someone’s text log claims they discovered >!Carcosa has no moon!< . A cutscene in the later game also shows >!tentacles!< surrounding the eclipse. Can’t help but think this could be a connection to >!Xaos (and therefore Returnal). Could the same force be behind both stories?!<

I accidentally pressed R1 and bashed the Yellow King again instead of triggering the true ending during the second fight. Just kill me now

I want to know what kinds of benefits you gain by triggering the eclipse whenever it's optional. I know that you gain more lucenite and i believe you can access nightmare strands only in this stage, but what else can be beneficial? There are halcyons, audio and text logs that are exclusive to the eclipse?

I'm trying to go through Blighted Marsh and going through eclipse doesn't really sound like a good idea to me if i want to get to the boss with second chance intact and only artifacts that don't have negative traits

How and what tips do you have to beat Architect? Ive been at it 7 times and about to give up.

Idk if I'm missing something but I've never ever been able to get this alt fire to feel useful. I've tried using it to trigger stagger damage but it doesn't seem much more effective at that than a standard shot. I've tried using it to set up a long-shot but it does too little damage and takes too long to set up to be worth it. I've tried to use it at close range to eat away enemy health but again it's just not as useful as using the higher rate of fire standard blast. I'm honestly at a loss for what this alt-fire is for. It uses double the ammo of a standard shot too

It needs something to make it more useful. Let us create multiple pellet fields in the air before shooting them off instead of just one, let us reposition to control/change the direction by default when we shoot. Give it a straight damage buff. Make the projected pellet field do more damaged the further it travels.

If I'm an actual dumbass and I'm missing something very important about how to see it as useful, please let me know. The one thing I've seen is that you can fire the standard shot pretty quickly after an alt fire. Is this all?

got up to the architect…. have zero interest in doing all that over again what a joke

I know its been said, this game is incredible but after the platinum and a few same same runs we need some extra juice to get the excitement back!

Hope they release something soon

It's impressive what Housemarque achieved with Saros. They managed to improve everything compared to Returnal, especially the sense of character progression. Until now, Returnal was my favorite game, but Saros managed to surpass it and i just finisehd act 1.

The weapons are extremely well designed, and the way the character attributes influence weapon performance and their different variations is all very well executed. Zero complaints about the game's quality, including the story. Its been really interesting to see how expeditions I, II, III, and IV failed while trying to extract lucenita. And even knowing some spoilers about the ending, I'm still curious to see how everything develops until it gets there and what the consequences will be.

Its a real shame that Saros is selling so poorly, largely because of price and difficulty level that many people consider very hard, when in reality, its much more manageable than Returnal.

10/10, and I don't need any more facts to convince me.

I don’t usually like to look at the trophy list before playing and in this case I should have. Waited to look until after I finished king and found this gem of a trophy. I had 0 when I started my clean up. I’ve now completed all trophies and am sitting at 11/33 on this one.

At least it won’t take as long to finish this as it did to finish Expedition 33!

Word of advice if you are somehow starting this fresh and want to get the plat: turn on at least some modifier as early as you can. This one is not even difficult but will be annoying later if you don’t take care of it during normal gameplay.

Like i never get bored on any of my runs so far
