Returnal Tower of Sisyphus | Ascending to 1 Billion | Attempt 30 (Part 1, Phase 1-5)

This series of vids are showing what I usually do on high Tower runs. I'll be uploading a full run every 10th attempts (the next time this happens, it'll be after Attempt 40, then 50, and so on). Ya'll see some strats that I've been using for a while as well as some new strats I've been using recently (you'll see it onPhase 5 to 10). I hope ya'll adopt some strats and use them on your runs.

his last live he stopped at 485 million in the 24-1 phase and he took a break he is very strong this guy

[@elbaronsass]

it's a shame that there will never be returnal 2 because the developers are on a new license but which looks like returnal

[@ravenous2001]

Hot take, Returnal should not get a sequel. Think about it, what else is to be said about Selene? Her story is already told, athought it is speculative. If there's a hypothetical sequel, is Selene gonna be the main character or someone els What's the story gonna be like? IMO the best move Housemarque can do is make another original game than sequels.

I wish u were explaining as you are fighting for me to get a better understanding i managed to make it in phase 3 but dam its dangerous but great videos it helped me alot by just watching

[@ravenous2001]

Glad you learned a lot just by watching and observing my movements. There are multiple simple reasons why I don't want to speak in my vids are because, I'm bashful, I dislike the way I sound on cameras, and whenever I speak, I tend to lose focus and makes me make mistakes which results in me taking massive damage or getting one shotted.

[@elbaronsass]

thank you for reponse

[@JD_Drew]

This is awesome bro. Any advice on the best way to level up weapon traits? Most of mine are 1/2. Rough getting through phase 6 with that

[@ravenous2001]

You can upgrade your weapon traits on the Tower. It's endless and you have many opportunities to encounter any trait that are yet to be unlocked or upgraded to higher levels (same method applies to alt fires). Another method, although tedious and not as "opportunistic" as the Tower method, go to Abyssal Scar (biome 6), and DO NOT KILL the large blue "octopi" that has shields. Instead kill the smaller orange colored octopi that the big ones spawn. They are easy to kill, and can spawn infinitely as long as you dont kill the big blue ones. The reason why I said "not as opportunistic" is because the chests that you encounter in the biomes are limited unlike the chests in the Tower.

[@JD_Drew]

@@ravenous2001gotcha. Any idea what prompts the next trait level to become available?

[@ravenous2001]

If you pick up a gun that has a locked trait but has the Roman Numeral for 2 or 3, that indicates that you have to grind to unlock that trait's stronger version.

[@elbaronsass]

normally within 2-3 hours it will continue its course

[@elbaronsass]

bibappu is live on twitch he is at phase 30-7 at 576 million then it crashed, he really has no luck, it's already twice

[@elbaronsass]

silver lattice what is it exactly I never understood how it works

[@ravenous2001]

Whenever there's ice zones or mycomorph "glue" puddles, they'll slow you down. With Silver Lattice, you're immune to them and you'll move normally on them.

[@saboorheath7769]

Made the mistake and pulled this out last week🤣😂😂... this game is so addictive, especially the tower.

[@ravenous2001]

The Tower alone is the prime reason why other games that I've brought this year (Mortal Shell, HFW, FFXVI, and more) are lost causes to beat their base game and get their plat trophy.

[@saboorheath7769]

@ravenous2001 right... it's like 2 games in one. The leader board is extra incentive to keep going. I just want the developers to randomly give us updates

[@ravenous2001]

At this point they're cooking up something awesome that could POTENTIALLY dethrone Returnal as (IMO) the best PS5 game. So any updates for Returnal are none at this point.
