Various Gameplay Tips
Tip 1: Constantly use the drill and disruptor to find hidden items or even secret worlds.
Tip 2: The Kilver is arguably the best weapon in the game, at least in the first half or so. It doesn't have much range, but it goes through walls and deals a ton of damage.
Tip 3: The Voranj is a great option for dealing with enemies that are in tough to reach places, as the spread attack covers a lot of areas.
Tip 4: Eventually you get a passcode tool which requires some very complex passcodes. Keep an eye out on the environment and glitch enemies often. You'll be surprised by what you might find.
Tip 5: Glitching enemies makes fighting them a lot easier, so get in the habit of doing it all the time. In fact, one particular enemy continually drops health if you glitch them. How great is that?!
Tip 6: Dying puts you back at the last save point, but you keep all of your progress. So there may be spots in which you want to die on purpose to avoid backtracking.
Tip 7: Axiom Verge doesn't technically have fast travel, but the middle part of the map that connects everything allows you to travel quickly with the help of a friend. Hop on the creature's head and marvel at its speed.
