Singularity Hints

TMD Tips and Notes

  • 1 of 11: The game will inform you that your melee attack is now a TMD impulse attack. Press the melee button to try it out.
  • 2 of 11: Notice that it causes a charge meter for the TMD to appear below your health line. Each impulse blast costs a good chunk of charge, which takes several seconds to fully regenerate.
  • 3 of 11: Thankfully, aging and de-aging objects doesn't cost any charge. (Though note that aging enemies will.) Go around and see what all you can de-age.
  • 4 of 11: In the room just outside the vault, you can de-age two devices and two chalkboards. That doesn't really get you anything, though de-aging all the chalkboards in the game will supposedly earn you an achievement.
  • 5 of 11: Go down the walkway that's past the film archive panel to find a plant growing over an old electrical panel. Age the plant to get it out of the way, then de-age the panel to get an ore conveyor with two chunks of E99 tech in it to rise up next to you.
  • 6 of 11: Continue to the end of the walkway to find some more things to de-age, including an old crate and another chalkboard. (I won't bother to mention non-useful items like chalkboards from now on, so remember to keep an eye out for them if you want to find them all.)
  • 7 of 11: After de-aging the old crate, jump onto it, then look up and jump up to where you can grab onto the broken-off ladder above you. Climb it to find a supply crate on a high-up ledge.
  • 8 of 11: Go back the way you came and de-age the broken stairs you dropped down earlier. That'll allow you to climb back up them.
  • 9 of 11: Just past them, look to the left for an item you can age. Doing so will raise the platform that it's on, and lower the platform that's on the other side of the walkway.
  • 10 of 11: Get on the lowered platform and de-age the item. That'll raise your platform up to where you can jump onto a hidden walkway and go get a weapon tech item.
  • 11 of 11: As you continue with the game, keep a sharp lookout for similar gimmicks that you can use to access optional items. Also, whenever you get stuck, look for things you can age or de-age to help you progress.
