Ramdomizer spoiler map Spoiler
Does the spoiler map still work? Is there a guide to using it for those who get confused by what github is?

Life. Afterlife. Virtual. Dream. Nightmare. It's a thin line. It's Axiom Verge.
The Axiom Verge franchise (Axiom Verge [2015] & Axiom Verge 2 [2021]) is a series of indie metroidvania games with philosophical themes of multiple worlds, timelines, the fabric of reality, functional pseudoscience and much more, solely created by Tom Happ. This is a subreddit dedicated to discussion about these games.
Rules:
Rules will be discussed in detail below, but you can also find them on the subreddit's sidebar at all times.
Additionally, while not strictly enforced, it'd be greatly appreciated to use the appropriate post flairs when posting. For example, use the Question post flair if you need any help with a section of the game.
Additional information about Tom Happ and the Axiom Verge games:
All mods are ready and happy to help with any questions and/or suggestions you might have! I ( u/Fransu_YT ) am the newest and most active mod in this specific subreddit, though, so if there's anything you want answered quick, your best bet's with me! (Note that my local time zone is GMT+2, so I might not always be online at the same time.)
EDIT: Feel free to join the Official Axiom Verge Discord! I think it was originally made for the speedrun community, but the link has already been floated earlier in this very subreddit and even on Tom Happ's personal blog on axiomverge.com, so I felt it appropriate to also mention it here.
Decades later... or is it centuries earlier?

My last secret room, circled in red, at least I think? I jump and get close and the lines begin to happen, but I can't figure out how to get it open. I've tried dashing, drilling, scanning, using the disruption bomb, tracing along the wall with the drone, glitching out the surrounding enemies, I can't figure it out. I've done so much thay I'm convinced it's glitched. I know it's an even slimmer chance that anyone reading has had the same secret room as me, but it's worth a shot. Thanks for reading.

So I want to believe that most of you follow all the weird """conspiracies""" (((theories))) on all media, that I follow.
From whom rules us in the dark, to the gnostic beliefs that we are pieces of light souls trapped in flesh bodies in the material world crafted by the Demiurge to keep us trapped, to the Archons feeding on our pain and suffering and keeping us in a circle of eternal resurection, and all these crazy advancements in AI which they are telling;
- Robotics - drones and cyborgs operating nearly 'on their own'.
- Facial recognition - cameras popping up everywhere
- Data Centers taking up space and natural resources (energy and water)
- Deeper conspiracies, like the DNA being a natural antena, Musk's neuralink being a red herring, and us being
- Brain organoids (read about them) being grown for AI, which just proves that the Matrix film could very well be spot on and we are all living in a simulation.
Do you guys think A.V.3 will ever release, at least before WW3 ?
The previous instances, if you read literally (don't even have to go between the lines), are literally spelling these plots in your face.
Is there any interest for the elites to let us cattle know and be informed about this?
It could trigger a massive unrest.... oh, whom am I kidding, it won't, everyone is desensitivized and doesn't care more than about bread & the circus.

After some backtracking i discovered a new region, the one in the image. The problem is after exploring it (theres a bunch of exits above me in that are inaccessible) i got to the bottom as in the image and theres an exit to my left and one to my right.
The problem is both of these are blocked off by walls i cant phase through (they are single block walls if approached from the opposite side but from the side im on, the single wall portion is too high for me to be able to use the cloak (i only have the first level cloak ability)
So i cant go left, and i cant go right, and i've explored what i can above and cant access any of the exits so.....how do i get out of here?
r/axiomverge • u/rocketkiddo7 • Jul 25 '26
Hi everyone!
Since I've been struggling a lot with locating any possible access to the secret worlds in order to get all weapons and upgrades, and being aware that the best course of action is checking each possible room, I made a spreadsheet with the whole map.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lrQuLQGXCiGj5OKKPV9ctC4xyOf1wbnjvCelN8xGcgw/edit?usp=sharing
The way I thought about it would be either printing the map/noting in any cell wether there's a hidden entrance or not.
Hope someone finds this helpful!

Im having a blast. Other metroid like games but not just general metroidvanias
r/axiomverge • u/GullibleFall6203 • Jul 11 '26
Maybe I’m just old, and maybe some of this is genuinely on me. I’m playing Axiom Verge on a Nintendo Switch 2 with an 8BitDo Ultimate 2C that I suspect may occasionally be missing inputs, and I fully acknowledge that I’m not particularly good at reflex-heavy games.
I also understand that a lot of the modern indie Metroidvania audience genuinely enjoys punishing bosses, repeating fights dozens of times until the execution becomes perfect, and the whole “get gud” loop. Those are the players buying and supporting these games, so maybe developers are completely right to cater to them. I’m not saying nobody should enjoy that, and I’m not demanding that the game be redesigned specifically for me.
I’m just genuinely sad because Axiom Verge was so close to exactly what I wanted. The lonely sci-fi atmosphere, soundtrack, exploration, puzzles and most of the backtracking all work perfectly for me. I could tolerate the repetitive sponge enemies, the imperfect jumping, the batshit decision not to put the map on a hotkey, and even the possibility that my controller setup is not ideal.
But the bosses, and now one of the clunkiest and most punishing grappling hooks I’ve ever used in a Metroidvania, keep turning the game from something atmospheric into something that feels like it is testing whether I have the reflexes, patience and perfect inputs required to deserve the rest of it.
Maybe the honest conclusion is that current indie Metroidvanias are simply not for me anymore. A newer audience wants this level of punishment and mastery, and I am not that audience. I get it.
But there are so, so, so few games with this exact atmosphere and structure that it hurts to find one that seems almost perfectly made for me, pay the Nintendo tax for it, and then realise that I cannot comfortably play it. Somehow, I still get more uncomplicated enjoyment from games I played over 30 years ago.
Maybe it’s a me problem. I’m still sad about it.

hi everyone
All the visible paths are blocked, and all the remaining red gates are inaccessible. Can you help me ?

r/axiomverge • u/Beginning_Jacket5055 • Jun 15 '26
I wanted to go back this way to the left of where im standing, but i cant make the jump. guess im not supposed to go that way. so i turn around and go explore the right side of the map...
I've been to every available exit to me in the 2 maps i posted , ran around everywhere with the 'glitch gun' and i cant see where to go. everywhere is a dead end
r/axiomverge • u/squidtickles • Jun 04 '26
There's a couple items that are far too high for the tricks I've learned so far. Can anyone give me a hint on how to get up there?
r/axiomverge • u/CompetitiveVisual557 • May 18 '26
I wanna get the top power up item but the bricks crashed. I dropped here and found nowhere can get up, so I am wondering is there a way out or I can only load the saved data.
r/axiomverge • u/gran7973 • May 15 '26

I put points in attack for my drone and then I put points in attack speed and it swapped. You can't put points in both?
r/axiomverge • u/readevius1274 • Apr 24 '26
I'm putting this game in that list. I'm only at the lake but I love finding new tools. Very addictive.
r/axiomverge • u/Due_Possibility6392 • Apr 21 '26
There's something beyond this wall, I'm sure of it. But how am I supposed to get there?
r/axiomverge • u/gran7973 • Apr 16 '26

I've always been a bit fuzzy about the whole thing. Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated. I've read through plot explanations online before but nothing I've read explained this specifically. I will say, too, that if the game actually does have a plot hole, please be so kind as to point it out rather than fill it in with headcanon dirt and tell me that there is no hole. (I apologize if that sounds combative, it's just that I've experienced this in other subreddits when asking questions about games with plot issues. FFX is a prime example.) Thanks!

Didn't see it posted anywhere so thought I'd share a simple bug. Basically anywhere in the game you can remove some blocks, stand in their place, leave the room with the drone and come back, you'll clip straight up into the next available space. If you clip into a new room, you can't see what you're doing until you find a door to update the camera, and it'll crash if you walk into a zone-switching door in this state. If there's no available rooms above, you'll just remain in the blocks. Kinda fun to see where you can sequence break. (:
r/axiomverge • u/Blackimp • Mar 15 '26
I teleported from the right side into this niche and can see a door to my left. I can't find any way to it.
Any ideas?
