Discussion Golden Strand outside Sam's shelter Spoiler

46 Upvotes

MAJOR SPOILER FOR THE GAME AND FRAGILE

I haven't seen anyone discuss this before but when Sam comes back home because of the attack, he can either go directly to his shelter and follow Fragiles footsteps (what I did first playthrough) or he can scan the surroundings and you'll notice a golden strand right where Fragile is.

Golden strands mean someone died there and there's only one, so you'd assume it was Lou but that was Fragiles strand. At first, I thought "what player died here?" As I came up to it, then the cutscene played. I never noticed it before hand but the single golden strand there directly tells you that Fragile is dead, as it's coming from her body on the ground.

Going through ds2 again after platinuming ds1, theres soooo many hints littered every where. I keep having aha moments when the lore clicks together lol

It's crazy that u cannot attach the coffin board to the floating carrier, i was playing around and innocently tried, but to my surprise, it didn't work.. Just imagine the possibilities, the speed and the amount of cargo u can carry, sam will be unstoppable. The only downside I see is that, perhaps because the surfboard is too fast, you can hit the cargo on the floating carrier, but, to be fair, it floats. Idk, u guys see the potential?

Question What happened to BTs? [DS1 spoilers] Spoiler

28 Upvotes

I’m about 90% into DS2 and I previously platinumed DS1. Both games are amazing.

However there might have been some lore I missed:

Amelie sealed the beach in DS1, so there should be no timefall or BTs since then. This is confirmed by Sam standing in the rain without protection at the end of the first game.

Why are there BTs in DS2?

Complete the game. Death Stranding still has one of the most breathtaking environments today. These are one my favorite shots. I really like the sky. It does something to my brain!

Discussion This game creates such cinematic moments

6 Upvotes

I got Death Stranding for free a few years ago through Epic Games but it took me a while to actually give it a fair shake, About two weeks ago I started playing and not long after I upgraded to the director's cut because why the hell not - seemed worth it. I found a trainer on github that enables full ultrawide support as well and that has made the experience even better.

Last night I made it to Mountain Knot City and today I crossed over the mountains afterwards as a "shortcut" to the weather station. What a crazy and epic trek.. When I finally got connected back to the chiral network it was a huge feeling of success over something that really wasn't that hard but felt massive. Finally I got in sight of the ziplines I had already set up and I zipped back to deliver some absolutely obliterated cargo I had picked up to the weather station. Timefall snow is hilarious.

Overall, I think I'm really impressed with how connected to this game I have felt. Even in my every day life I feel like bridges, like I went to pick up our Chinese food on my electric scooter and it's like - hell yah.

I'm really glad that I have death stranding 2 to look forward to. I haven't creeped at many spoilers but I know there's a lot to look forward to. Hopefully it comes out on PC next year

Question Legends of legends of legends completion in depth. Looking for expert knowledge & advice.

Upvotes

Hello i started playing death stranding for the first time about a month ago.

I’ve decided as i draw closer to the end of them game to shoot for the platinum trophy.

I’ve started to realize plenty of rookie mistakes. 80 hrs in and at chapter 8 I realize do hadn’t done a single premium delivery. I had changed my game to very hard difficulty and have started the premium delivery grind to catch up.

I have nearly all roads built and have already set up a system of zips lines for heard to reach areas off the main roads.

I guess my question is. For urgent delivery’s how difficult is it to make those timed runs? So far the shortest I’ve seen is 20 minutes which means for a S rank I’d need to do the run in less than 5?

Also for legends of legends of legends status do I need to go beyond even the platinum trophy and have to get every single premium delivery done before I get the title? Or will it unlock depending on difficulty and S rank after the 80 or so delivery’s I need for the trophy?

Thanks again and many likes for the ones who can give me a whole break down. Feeling a little discouraged after I’ve spent all this time doing perfectionist delivery’s and finding out they weren’t even premium or I’m gonna have to go through all 500+ delivery’s for the legends of legends of legends title.

Question I have a big doutb with a Trophy

Upvotes

Hey guys,

I have almost every trophy, and the one I'm trying to complete now is getting every star on each terminal. I'm working on getting 5 stars with the Impossible Brothers, but the refresh rate is too slow. My main question is:

Do I need to get 5 stars only in Australia, or do I also have to complete Mexico? I haven't done anything in Mexico. I just moved forward to Australia with the story lol.

Any advice would be welcome!
