Shadow complex map guide1/28/2024 You might be a bit overwhelmed at first, when you start to realize how big the map is, and how elaborate the corridors might be. Chances are, you are missing the specific piece of equipment required to reach it. If you can't figure out how to get a certain item, don't spend forever trying to get it. This might be quite awhile, as there are several key pieces of equipment that you won't receive until much later in the game (Missiles). You will come across dozens of areas that you will be unable to reach, until you get the necessary equipment required to open them. You need to keep in mind, that you will not be able to access every area at first. Those of you not familiar with the Metroidvania genre might find its jumbled exploration a bit confusing, but here is a little tip to help clear things up. This will be helpful when trying to figure out what you are missing. You can view a more detailed spread of these pickups (including overall %) by pressing select and then LB, while in the game. However, the vast majority of these items are pickups that help upgrade your maximum ammo capacity, health, and armor. This number includes certain items that you get during the campaign (flashlight, guns, etc.) and other optional gear (Fusion Helmet, Hook, etc.). You can then bust through the control room door with a grenade, and claim your prize on the other side.Spread throughout the game, there are a total of 125 items. You need to go to the left side of the control room via a thin corridor leading downward. If you go to the location shown on the map, you will be on one side of a control room. However, because of the maddening amount of enemies in the vast room around it, you're going to have to clear the area first before going at the Keycard Component's location, or risk taking massive damage (or possibly dying) en route. Grabbing this Keycard Component is quite simple in premise. If you jump into this water, submerge yourself, and immediately swim to the left, you'll eventually surface in a hidden alcove, where the Passkey Component can be found. The area to the right of the specific location designated on the map is a large vertical shaft, with water dominating the bottom half of it. While others are well-hidden (after all, these Keycards grant you access to a super-secret section of the map, where a cool item can be found), this one is rather out in the open. This Keycard Component is extremely easy to find if you know precisely where to look. Follow along this linear duct to the left and then upward, and the second Keycard Component will be on a ledge to your right. This will open a secret hatch that lets you access an air duct. To get there, throw some grenades in the left corner of the room where the grenades are found, directly below the room shown. At the location shown on the map, which is directly above the room where you first acquire grenades (right before battling the giant Tarantula), the component is found. This keycard is extremely well-hidden, and chances are that without some help, you might be at a loss as to how to ever obtain this component. You can destroy either one to access this Keycard Component, but for the most direct route, consider destroying the one on the right, which will allow you to drop right on top of it. On either side of the room on the floor, you'll find two small hatches that glow orange when you shine a flashlight on them, indicating that they can be destroyed with some rounds from any firearm. The location given on our map is a small, isolated chamber below a larger room above that you will be forced to visit early on in the game, right after acquiring the game's very first firearm in the form of a pistol.
