![]() There are plenty of items to collect on your journey, but make sure you read the descriptions carefully before picking anything up. Always be mindful of using your obolites wisely though, as there are no refunds on Atropos. There’s even a Reconstructor that, when activated, will revive you at that location without losing the progress of that cycle. You can find many different devices on Atropos: some may provide you items in exchange for Obolites, others will increase your max health or provide various state upgrades, and have many different outcomes that are worth experimenting with. Selene can use the remains of the ancient civilization that once ruled Atropos. ![]() Most of these will appear fairly frequently in the game, so remember to use and experiment with these, especially early on! While it’s often tempting to save these for a special moment, you can make many moments more special by just using these more often. They can be defensive items like one-hit shields offensive, like the Ground Surge that impales the closest hostile or even boost your economy, such as the Obolite Seeder that causes killed enemies to drop more Obolites (the game’s currency) for a limited time. These are single-use items that are used up on activation. Some rare artifacts like the Astronaut Figurine can even resurrect you on the spot, which can make the critical difference between triumphing against a Boss battle or respawning back at Helios in defeat. They can have passive effects (for example the Reactive Stabilizers, which reduce the chance of being knocked down by enemy attacks), or activate under certain conditions (like the Fractal Nail, which increases your damage whenever you have a suit malfunction). These are items that will have beneficial effects lasting for the duration of that cycle. Here’s a few things that you can find on your journey: Artifacts While you can always take a direct path to your Primary Objective, you will have a better chance to succeed if you devote time to explore the environments more carefully, and remain on the lookout for secret doors, hidden switches and juicy rewards off the beaten path. Each cycle is guaranteed to be unique, and your trusty map system will always be there to assist you in navigating towards your next goal. The planet is a place brimming with secrets that will reward the most intrepid explorers. Exploring the planet and expanding her arsenal is the only hope for Selene to survive, find answers, and ultimately solve the mystery of Atropos. She will scan, analyse and experiment with all kinds of alien devices, abandoned technologies, and all sorts of strange items, natural flora and even parasites with unpredictable properties. In a similar fashion, once Selene is trapped on Atropos her undying curiosity and relentless determination will continue to push her forward. Her only hope is to break the cycle, before the cycle breaks her. The result: Selene crash lands her ship Helios on the hostile alien planet, and gets trapped in an endless, nightmarish cycle of death and rebirth. ![]() Our main character Selene receives a mysterious message coming from Atropos, and – against her better judgement and Astra orders – feels morbidly compelled to investigate it. In Returnal, one of our central themes is answering the call of the void.
