The Yellow Shore is Saros‘s eighth and final biome that forms a path for the story’s conclusion. Arjun meets Nitya again, but this time it is a dream after defeating the Priestess at the Cathedral. And from here, the game’s story is in its final stretch.
I will cover Saros’s Yellow Shore biome in its entirety, including the final boss fight and all new enemies.
Table of contents
Back At The Passage
Once the Priestess is defeated, Arjun meets Nitya, but his dream ends sooner than expected. Now, back at The Passage, talk to Construct, who reveals Nitya’s position. From here, Arjun uses Construct’s panel to open up a path to the Yellow Shore. Go to the Project’s room, and turn left to find the newly opened path to enter the final biome.
Take What You Need – Cross The Shore
Climb the Staircase before you to enter a passage, and then at its end, melee the invisible wall’s crack to break open a path to the main area of Yellow Shore; it’s right below the eclipsed sun. The Yellow Shore is a combination of inconsistent paths and a ground with no end. Stay on track to avoid the bottomless pits.
The Yellow Shore permits no second chances. If you die once, it’s over. You will have to restart the entire area from the beginning. So, learn about the enemies and the biome’s points of interest simultaneously to gradually adapt to it.
Additionally, one final and important ability that you will find here is the Blazing Strike. It will allow you to break the transparent, fiery barriers and yellow crystals with a punch; you no longer need a Carcosan key.
See a giant, disfigured statue with Eclipse threads to your left? That location is present in every randomized run. Use the threads and grapple hooks to climb it and claim rewards like Large Aether, Weapons Crystals, and Lucenite.
As you move forward, you might come across a statue that throws numerous corruption bullets at you from afar. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to destroy the source; don’t stop moving.
Destroy Them
After you enter a cave-like area, the objective will shift. The “them” in question are multiple enemies residing in this area. Drop down and take them head-on. However, the Eclipse gate still blocks your path. To open it, visit the side paths to your left and right, then take down the enemies. With that, the gate will open.
Enter Gate
Before returning to the cave, explore the side path and collect any Lucenite and break item crystals that you can find, as a Solar Cage awaits you. In the middle of this ambush, a mob named Consort will arrive; it’s a mini-boss with its own health bar.
Survive the Solar Cage, and then go through the gate. Use the Eclipse Thread ahead to reach the end of this area.
Cross The Shore
From the cliff, jump down to the shore and run towards the ocean. There, the final boss of the game, King, awaits you.
King Boss Fight
King serves as the leader of Yellow Shore, dictating everything on this planet, including the Eclipse. And following the staple, he has three phases.
Phase 1
The fight begins with the King awaiting you in the middle. Approach and start shooting, and wait for his projectiles to appear; all of them will track you. In the first phase, the King will throw blue bullets towards you, which can be easily absorbed with your shield.
If the health bar isn’t draining, then wait for his shield to appear. Get close and melee it to make him vulnerable again. Don’t stop shooting, avoid the shockwaves, and utilize your power weapon when needed. I would recommend Nova Lance against him as it deals devastating damage.
Phase 2
As soon as the second phase begins, the King will transform his blue bullets to Nova projectiles, making them impossible to dodge through. After he forms the projectiles, either dash left or right just before they hit you.
If the King covers himself with a shield in the second phase, break it and then immediately dash backwards as the shield sends a wave of blue bullets all over the arena. The King reveals two new attacks in this phase: A laser that follows you and two lightning-speed punches.
For the laser, wait at least two seconds while the King aims at you, then dash left or right; don’t stop moving, as it will follow you. When the King stops and raises his arm, he will immediately rush forward and punch you. Learn the timing and avoid his punch with a dash.
Phase 3
In the final phase, all of the King’s projectiles will shift from Nova to Corruption bullets. The attack pattern doesn’t change, but it improvises on the already-known moves.
While he’s covered in a shield, the King can shoot his laser at you. Breaking the shield will cancel his attack, giving you enough time to dash away and then dump an entire magazine at him. Jump over the shockwaves, avoid his lasers and bullets, and keep shooting to defeat him.
Note: At the last stretch, the King will become invulnerable, which is a scripted event. Survive, and when a shield appears, break it to initiate the final cutscene where Arjun will defeat him.
Prove Yourself
When the King’s death cutscene ends, a corridor will appear in the arena. Go through it to initiate the final confrontation between Arjun and Nitya. However, since this is the first playthrough, you will get the alternate ending that reveals a time loop.
No matter what happens, Arjun will end up becoming the King in every reality. But there is a way to break this curse.
How To Get The True Ending in Saros
With every important item and weapon in your hands, restart the game and explore every area present. Break the transparent, orange walls with the powerful punch, climb the unreachable areas with your grappler, and use Jump Link nodes to jump higher.
Imporant: To get the second ending, it is important to complete the game at least once.
When you fight the King again, you will have a chance to spare him and break this curse once and for all.
Enemy of The Yellow Shore – Yellow Consort
Yellow Consort is a boss in the Yellow Shore with its own HP bar, which reveals itself in one of the many Solar Cages on the shore before the King. It’s the mini-boss that appears at the beginning of the game, who introduces us to The Passage and the death system.
The only annoying attack of the Consort is a web of Nova projectiles. Don’t panic, and move around the area to avoid it.
