Hell yeah, I finished my fourth run today and got all the images too! I must be sick in the head because Iāve already been thinking of what Iād like to do in my next two or three playthroughs.Finished my 4th playthrough last night - hard mode in 3:29:10. With that, I now have all the gallery images. Guess I'll play something else for a while.
You have to tap B, then select a direction using the left analog stick. The analog stick must be in its neutral position in order to activate the shinespark by pressing B.How the fuck do I do a shine spark in midair without activating the screw attack?
Have you played a 2D Metroid before Dread?
First run complete. Normal. 100%. Clear time 12:57:25ā¦.oof. Lol. That final boss wasnāt as tough as Iād thought and Iām sure there are some better ways to take him on than how I went about it.
The run I just finished today was at 22% items and I never felt I was short on missilesJust beat the game too, got 85% of the items. When I first got to the final boss I had like 50% of items so I was WAY short on missiles, kept running out somewhat early in the fight. It's a really tough one, but it's EXTRA TOUGH if you don't have enough ammo. Trying to brute force him requires ninja mastery.

...
By the end of the game, beam spam is often more effective than missiles, depending on the situation.
Man do I hate destroying EMMIās head plating. This isnāt fun at all lol just the worst
tapping L is often suggested but pressing Y + A + shinespark direction at the same time to get out of the screwattack and activate the shinespark at the same time was the most consistent method for me.How the fuck do I do a shine spark in midair without activating the screw attack?
Shooting puts Samus right way up
I think i'm close to the end, so i've started roaming the areas for items.
I have 100% in the area where you get the Power Bomb (the small one that leads to the final area) and 100% in the area where the X first appeared (Elum i think)
In two others, i have some 90% and it seems like both have one item missing, which are locked behind a Shinespark puzzle.
Does that mean that every big(ger) area has one difficult Shinespark puzzle?
Thanks in advance.
If it makes you feel better I didn't figure that one out on my ownI think i'm close to the end, so i've started roaming the areas for items.

.... thanks, now i'm not only feeling bad for not getting these Shinespark puzzles done, now i also feel stupid about it.

;D
I promise. It feels impossible, but when it clicks, IT CLICKS.Just got to the last boss. I hate this shit!
Just beat it. It wasn't so bad, but I guess it's just not what I want from Metroid.I promise. It feels impossible, but when it clicks, IT CLICKS.

Finally. Phew.
Successful final boss clear:
So that's 0%, and 100% done. I'm sad there's not really a reason to play anymore. But man, what a ride, and truly a phenomenal game. I'd say Metroid 5 was the most anticipated game of my life, ever since I first started the series with Fusion, all those years ago. I wanted so badly for a sequel to Fusion to actually manifest, and it finally did, all this time later. It still feels kinda surreal. Metroid is alive and well, we just got an amazing game with Dread, and Prime 4 is on the horizon. It's a great time to be a fan.
I tried, but I canāt even pull off the shooting through walls stuff.For these sub four hour times are you sequence breaking?
Itās not required, but certain breaks do make the run easier. Early grapple is a game changer, for example.For these sub four hour times are you sequence breaking?
I did my best run 2:53 without any sequence breaking so that's doable!For these sub four hour times are you sequence breaking?
That's the hardest part lolI tried, but I canāt even pull off the shooting through walls stuff.
Thankfully, he didn't use it much, on my successful attempt! He did it once, maybe.God thatattack must be a nightmareshinespark
To be fair and honest, @Chris Walken was quite literally MY inspiration for even choosing to attempt a 0% run, heh. I saw when he completed his, a few pages back. Before that, I didn't actually know whether a 0% run would be possible in Dread.Amazing accomplishment. Youāre an inspiration. A 0% run will be what Iām going to be attempting next, but first I gotta take a short break from the game. Itās been nothing but Dread nonstop since release!
You're able to get them all, as the only thing that counts for percentage are the energy, missile, and power bomb expansions. That still means you have to make it through the game with 99 energy and 15 missiles, though, which can get dicey.It's crazy that it's designed in a way that it's possible.
Do you get all the major upgrades or skip some?
But did you sequence break and skip anything? Probably not as any upgrade is helpful doing such a hard feat AlsoYou're able to get them all, as the only thing that counts for percentage are the energy, missile, and power bomb expansions.

These are great ideas to keep the game fresh in the future, and to continue to challenge myself with. A no death run sounds like it could be antithetical to the gameplay, though, being that you would need to very slowly navigate through the levels, as to not accidentally get hit by some random enemy. I'm so used to the speed at which Samus can move, in this one. They gave her such great mobility. Really hoping Prime 4, mobility-wise, can be a leap above Corruption as substantial as Dread is above Fusion.But did you sequence break and skip anything? Probably not as any upgrade is helpful doing such a hard feat Alsodid you do a 0% no death run? where you delete the save on each death and start again
I was joking, the effort to get to the final boss to then start over if you made a mistake would be devastatingThese are great ideas to keep the game fresh in the future, and to continue to challenge myself with.

This is why youāre one of my favorites.Do y'all think they called it Artaria because it's the St-art area?
20+ hours sunk in and that was the best joke I could come up withThis is why youāre one of my favorites.
Iāve also got about 20 hours in. One 14 hour play through and all of my deaths therein. And three speedrun attempts I gave up on because I aināt got the skills.20+ hours sunk in and that was the best joke I could come up with

I've got my first 100%, an unsuccessful speedrun, a successful speedrun and a hard mode run so farIāve also got about 20 hours in. One 14 hour play through and all of my deaths therein. And three speedrun attempts I gave up on because I aināt got the skills.
Oh my Chozo you're right XDthatās a good bet. I also think they decided the areas would be A,B,C,D,ā¦I and then said ācome up with Metroid sounding names starting with these lettersā
I'm halfway through this progression, gonna finish a run of Metroid Prime before I go back.I've got my first 100%, an unsuccessful speedrun, a successful speedrun and a hard mode run so far
