: Look for the Astronaut Figurine , which acts as a second life, respawning you with 50% health upon death.
Returnal is a challenging "roguelike" where death sends you back to the start of the game. Use these strategies found in community guides to survive longer:
: Focus on increasing your Max Integrity (HP) through Integrity Augments and Resin before prioritizing damage or proficiency upgrades.
: Dashing provides brief invincibility frames that allow you to move through enemy projectiles without taking damage.
: After using the Atropian Blade to melee an enemy, immediately dash. This cancels the end of the swing animation and keeps you mobile and safe.
