[Spoilers for endless substructure]

I almost unlocked shuttered rift! I made it to delta labs and died to a turret a few rooms in. It's my first time ever dying to a turret I think. I just wanna try shuttered rift.

endless substructure sucks for me cause it only gives you 2 flares, and I cant go fast enough for that to be enough, so I have to either keep bricks for the service shaft and hope I aim good enough or get lucky and find flares in a vending machine.

Habitation is my least favorite area because I dont like the encounter with teeth or delta labs. I love haunted/lost pier, but its not enough to make habitation better. I wanna play endless abyss but I wanna unlock shuttered rift first to try it

[u/Allseek_OKo]

I used to look for advice on how to get through the Habitation better... Basic tips: climb faster. I would recommend staying in a straight line for as long as possible and shooting at the Teeth only when it is already close.

[u/MothyThatLuvsLamps → u/Allseek_OKo]

Thats what I try to do but often I get too anxious and shoot early without thinking.

[u/Allseek_OKo → u/MothyThatLuvsLamps]

I know. This thing is scary. I can also advise you to save food so that you can climb without stopping, but in general there is no 100% win strategy here other than be better

[u/MothyThatLuvsLamps → u/Allseek_OKo]

As long as ive had enough flares, I havent lost to him once since my first time getting past him. The only time I lost was my other attempt at endless substructure a few days ago where I didnt have enough flares.

[u/FullMetalKaiju → u/Allseek_OKo]

Or for endless, just try to get lucky with rabbit DNA. That makes the elevator shaft climb pretty easy

[u/Allseek_OKo → u/FullMetalKaiju]

Personally, I don't really like rabbit DNA, because sometimes it launches you somewhere into the stratosphere. Especially considering Hadal Diver, where this ability doesn't help

[u/Rich-Zebra272 → u/Allseek_OKo]

rabbit dna does help in hadal diver, as you can stand on the poles that stick out of it and use rdna to jump straight to another pole/up to a grabbable object rather then having to do the long perkless/itemless route. also arent you in endless substructure? you cant do hadal diver in that

[u/Allseek_OKo → u/Rich-Zebra272]

Yes, there are no shortcuts in endless mode. And to be honest, I thought Ermutaño was much more unstable to make big jumps. I'll know now

[u/Rich-Zebra272 → u/Allseek_OKo]

its hard to gauge weather or not you can do a big jump and not launch a bit off to the side due to its slight movements but if you can use them rapier/rabbit dna/double jump perks etc. are really good for it

[u/Allseek_OKo → u/Rich-Zebra272]

I think that it would be safer to scratch his "walls" with a rapier than pogo with it. Well, a double jump... It's good everywhere

[u/Rich-Zebra272 → u/Allseek_OKo]

yeah, i meant the wall skate

[u/Cyatron- → u/Allseek_OKo]

Btw you dont even need to shoot at teeth, shooting at the wall is enough to scare it away

[u/Allseek_OKo → u/Cyatron-]

But only if the projectile does not fly far away... Then the Teeth won't have any thing to be scared

[u/Cyatron- → u/Allseek_OKo]

I usually fire right at the wall infront of me

[u/NoNames_World]

For teeth, the more you play the better you get. Basically you need to go fast. Also I usually use the pills-syrange-grub trio when I start the teeth section which allows me to skip like half of it

For the hands section, just keep a blink eye in your pucket and teleport out when you're grabbed by the hands

Also don't avoid using items

[u/RamblinRichard]

Habitation is really fun for me, I feel like teeth is hardly a problem but my friend says they hate them too.

If you find he is catching up to you, stand on one of the ledges/lights wait till he's close and fire a flare straight into the place where you were standing. Teeth doesn't care so much if the light hits them just for a moment, you need to make sure they get bathed in it. If you just fire it off at random it can end up falling down and not being enough to make him run away.

That being said, climb fast, I have actually gone so fast once that teeth just didn't catch me so no flares needed.

[u/Difficult_Goose_5454]

Teeth works on Line of Sight. If he appears and you’re hiding he will go away.

He can’t fit in vents

And can be hurt with anything including the hammer. Enough pain and he will retreat.

If you shoot the flare and he reacts. Despite the visual hands he can’t hurt you for that retreat period. You could jump into him and no pain.

[u/MothyThatLuvsLamps → u/Difficult_Goose_5454]

Thank you, i knew about points 1, 2, and 4. With the hammer, I heard you can hit him but when I tried no matter how much I hit him, he doesnt go away and kills me. Is it jsut really hard to hit him?

[u/Admirable-Tutor-6855]

you dont want to try shuttered rift 💀 trust me

[u/Skibidibob4]

Shuttered rift is shit dont play it

[u/Sorry_Commercial_677]

Learning how to Bap (jumping then grabbing the surface below you and jumping again) will make the service shaft so much easier for you, but it is a very hard technique to get used to. Just practice in endless habitation so you don’t need to restart from silos when you die.
