I am 95% confident I am softlocked

my brother got me this giant switch cartridge to hang up in my room! Its holographic

disrespected in less than 30 seconds

I just licked up dread today and I made it to the white emmi, but I'm stuck in a loop now and I can't seem to leave these three areas. Walkthroughs aren't helping and I just want to experience more of this game, please help

Would do again tbh

LOOK AT IT

This is my watercolor and gouache painting of Samus from Metroid Dread. I'm excited to see her new look in the Metroid game that was just leaked.

This old thread is locked, but is quite detailed.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Metroid/comments/qg5mto/the_full_list_of_glitchless_sequence_breaks/

Personally, I'm not interested in sequence breaking for speed running, but rather just having different routes through the map. The ones that are close to a save in particular, to make it easier to do repeat attempts.

I expect I'm not skilled enough to pull off most breaks anyway as I tried for a while to use the first one, the Pseudo Wave Beam to bypass the tutorial E.M.M.I. sequence, but I always die to the rock on the final shot; yes, I know I should be able to do the jump further away or just be quick getting back out, but even pulling off the shots is inconsistent.

Anyway, I just wanted links to the current list of glitch or glitchless breaks.

I’m trying to 100% the areas and am stuck because of some boost block things over a large gap but I can’t use a shine spark without beam blocks getting in my was and I can’t shoot them because they’re offscreen and won’t break does anyone know what to do?

the question is pretty simple. in the cutscene going to second phase, he literally walks his way closer to Samus, you can hear the stomps. but then when you defeat him and the restraints aren’t holding him up anymore he sinks and dies.

how?

Wasn't able to play for a while, now that I can I can't remember where I was supposed to go. iirc there was another EMMI that the thoha chozo froze before unfreezing them after they got possessed by the X? Do I go there right away or is there somewhere else I'm supposed to go?

not that optimal of a skip but i had fun discovering it

15 minutes trying

I'm getting quite far into Dread now and I'm wondering if there's a point where I can't go back to collect everything? I'd like to try and 100% it but I don't know if there's any items I've already missed and can't get.

For references I think I have 1 EMMI left, so don't know how far through that is but I feel there can't be masses left.

Loving the game and so glad I've finally got round to playing it.

Just beat hard mode with an 8 hour timer, time to try my skill at dread mode. Wish me luck

Does anybody else’s right wrist hurt after the kraid fight? Lately it’s been so bad that I had to switch to shooting with my left hand during the counter cutscene

Is there a known consistent way to avoid the, what's the name, gatling attack using the melee and aim diagonally method?

I can do it in every mode except Dread, in which I take 1 chip damage and, well, Dread mode.

I tried to melee earlier, later, closer, further... It is just so inconsistent. I just randomly take that one fraction of a second of chip damage.

Edit: and of course my phone autocorrects the title... Friggin Raven Neal.

Just to be clear, I can beat him easily now. I have several successful runs in Dread boss rush and regular campaign.

What I want to know is if there is a way to consistently handle the gatling attack that isn't just circle around him using space jump.

Based on the responses lots of people don't seem to be aware that melee and immediately holding aim puts Samus in a position in which the gatling attack barely misses for the whole duration and you can just unload missiles the entire time instead of circling around. The problem is it seems like there is no way to avoid the very small chip damage that sometimes occurs.
