How to destroy energy barriers in return
When you first start Returnal, you’ll quickly be immersed in the action. Much of what happens next will be pretty mysterious and that’s okay – it’s meant to be. However, the more you play, the more you will learn.
As you progress through the first biome – Overgrown Ruins – you’ll come across two types of obstacles quite often and you’ll probably have no idea what to do to overcome them. That’s why you’re here, after all.
One of these barriers looks like a wall of orange vines – for more info on that, head over to IGN’s How to Destroy Vine Walls page – and the other barrier is an energy wall massive and tall. It’s also orange, but it towers high above you and just won’t let you pass.
If you’re looking for a way to get through it, don’t worry – there’s no switch to find or button to press or anything like that. Simply put, breaking through this energy barrier requires the Atropian Blade, which is a lightsaber-like melee weapon that you’ll eventually receive in the Overgrown Ruins.
However, don’t sweat – you can’t advance through the game’s main “story” until you get the Atropian Blade, because to progress through the game you need to be able to destroy energy barriers.
If you’re wondering what happens when you hit the Energy Barrier, luckily the answer is nothing – it looks like it might damage you, but it won’t. He’ll just bounce you around a bit, which is this game’s way of saying you won’t pass.
When you have the Atropian Blade, return to the Energy Barrier and press Square to use the blade. You will find that this will destroy the energy barrier, allowing you to pass. Congratulations, you did it!
How to destroy circular energy barriers in return
You will more than likely encounter the high vertical barrier of Returnal when you first start, but as you progress deeper into the game, such as when you reach the second biome, the Crimson Waste, you will discover barriers orange flyers. Most of the time, you will be able to see an object lying on the ground or on a small table inside the orange-yellow circular energy barrier.
It’s enticing, sure, and you might think a quick swipe from the Atropian Blade will destroy the barrier between you and the item, but sadly it won’t work. Indeed, to destroy this yellow-orange circular energy barrier, you will need the Blade Balancer item pickup for your Atropian Blade.
This can be found randomly, so keep an eye out for it and return to the circular barrier once you’ve equipped it. You can also purchase Blade Balancer from the Overgrown Ruins “shop”, but this item is not guaranteed to be available for purchase in every race.
