Being a roguelike, Saros expects you to build your loadout as you proceed through Carcosa. However, the random generation of weapons and Artifacts can often make a Cycle more difficult than expected. However, there is a simple re-roll trick that lets you start every run with your preferred weapon. The Secret to Starting Weapons To get the exact weapon you want, you need to take advantage of a specific quirk in Saros: your next run always begins with the same weapon type you were holding when your previous run ended. Whether you were defeated by an enemy or manually decided […]

While Saros offers a diverse arsenal of Soltari weaponry, two specific Shotgun variations stand out as the undisputed best choices for clearing biomes. If you are struggling with fast-moving enemies or bosses that leave little opportunities for you to attack, using Stalwart or Annihilator Shotguns is the most effective way to turn the tide. How to Unlock Shotguns Shotguns are not available in the starting area. You will unlock them for the first time in the second biome, the Ancient Depths. The Power of Stagger Damage Still, what makes every Shotgun superior to other early-game weapons is their ability to […]

Saros gameplay mechanics are the natural evolution of those seen in Returnal, with additional layers of complexity added to defense. Instead of dashing through enemy attacks, the game is all about mastering a sort of rock-paper-scissors defensive loop between your Dash, Shield, and Parry. The last is the riskiest and most satisfying, but before you can pull it off, you must unlock it. How to Unlock Parry Parry is the only defensive option in the game that has to be unlocked before it can be used. To do so, you will have to reach the Blighted Marsh biome and play […]

Survival in Saros depends not only on your skills, but also on Arjun’s high-tech suit.

While Saros doesn't waste much time teaching the basics of the game, including the Dash maneuver used to avoid enemy attacks, the game often glosses over other mechanics that can make exploring Carcosa smoother and more fun. This is the case of the Traversal Boost ability, which can be a big help if you feel like Arjun is moving too slowly between combat arenas. How to Sprint (Traversal Boost) While Traversal Boost would have worked wonders in a game where repositioning is key to surviving its intense combat encounters, it cannot be used when enemies are present. If you hold […]

How to Unlock Carcosan Modifiers To unlock this system, you must complete the Shattered Rise biome and defeat the first boss, Prophet. Once the boss is down, the system becomes available at the Primary Unit for all future runs. How the Modifier Dial Works […]
