If you are a fan of suvrival horror or Dead Space, surely you have already bought The Callisto Protocol. A new space horror odyssey that will have you fighting for your survival in a hostile alien environment. Which is also quite challenging.
You have probably already failed several times on your way through the Black Iron prison and that is why we have come to help you. Here we will give you some tips so that you can get away with the battles and even with the final boss. We’ll get into spoiler territory a bit, but we’ll let you know when that happens.
Not only weapons can save you in The Callisto Protocol
If you already have your hours in The Callisto Protocol You will have seen that there are three main ways to defend yourself. These are melee combat, ranged weapons, and GRP.. While you’ll want to defend yourself primarily with firearms, it’s best not to.
The pistols are very powerful, but their ammunition is very scarce. So it’s best to use melee and GRP as much as you can. So it is also advisable to use your credits to improve this pair of aspects before any other.
As you progress, you can make your deck stronger, so much so that you will even make enemies unable to avoid their attacks. Besides that you can unlock a stronger blow that sends your opponents flying. Which is particularly useful for throwing them into hazards if you’ve already run out of GRP battery.
Speaking of the GRP, focus on improving your strength and battery charge. We do not consider the recharge time as necessary, because even the fastest one takes a long time. Improving this tool will be very useful especially at a point a little after the middle of The Callisto Protocol.
The section in question is a trip in a kind of minecart where monsters are constantly coming up. The best way to survive this showdown is to take the monsters with the GRP as soon as they come up and throw them to their deaths. At the end of this section, a boss arrives with which firearms will be necessary. Which brings us to the next point.
Keep your firearms to a minimum
The Callisto Protocol gives players more and more firearms to add to their arsenal. Each one works differently, but you may want to stay away from them. Since the most convenient thing is that you keep three weapons, maximum, for your adventure.
The reason for this is inventory that is too small. In addition to this, once you buy a new weapon, its bullets will start to come out while you explore. This will no doubt cause you to run out of space for other more important things like health injectors.
We also can’t forget that weapon switching is pretty slow, so having only two or three weapons speeds up the process a bit.. Thus our advice is to stay only with the weapons that the story gives you simply for advancing. These are the Handcannon and the Riot Gun.
Stick with these two weapons, upgrade them to their full potential, and the experience will be smoother. Of course, our advice to not use them so much remains, since this will save ammunition for the important confrontations. It is also recommended that you use weak point shooting as much as possible.

If you are left wanting to try other weapon combinations, you can always start the game one more time. In addition, it was announced that the new game + mode will arrive in February of the following year. So you will have an excuse to return to The Callisto Protocol and test the rest of its weapons.
Don’t be afraid to be stealthy in The Callisto Protocol
An element that hardly appears in the gameplays of The Callisto Protocol is that you can stealthily eliminate enemies. Using this mechanic will save you bullets and save you from having to deal with as many enemies at once at times.
Enemy AI is not as likely to notice the protagonist’s presence if he is crouching. So you can take advantage of this to eliminate a couple of enemies before starting the scandal that will attract the others. Not to mention that with stealth death you don’t even give them a chance to mutate.
There is a section on The Callisto Protocol with some creatures that only detect you by touch or if you make a lot of noise. Your best weapon here is stealth with some patience and GRP. Since we managed to pass this section without firing a single shot. And don’t worry about using the GRP, as the enemies will only react to the point where what you throw hits.
We know there aren’t many opportunities to use stealth in The Callisto Protocol, but when you have it, use it without hesitation. Also, don’t be afraid to step on enemies you stealthily kill to get some items. Since although in real life it sounds loud, it seems that the enemies do not notice the stomp.
Run, hit and dodge, as the song says
When stealth fails there is nothing left to do but fight and the best thing to do in combat is to stay mobile. Since running around the area gives you a chance to push enemies away from you. Which gives you the advantage of seeing their attacks at a favorable distance for you, since you can react in time.
The dodge system in The Callisto Protocol It sounds complicated, but once you get the hang of it it’s very satisfying. Although the game itself teaches you how to use it, we have seen many players who do not do it as they teach you. It is not a matter of calculating perfectly, it is simply varying the position of the lever.
Just by holding the stick to the side you can dodge an attack, regardless of the difference between when it starts and when it touches you. Most enemies do two-hit combos, so immediately move the stick to the opposite side. After this, counterattack and don’t give your opponent a single break.
Try to train with each enemy you meet in The Callisto Protocolsince this mechanic is very useful in the end. Since enemies that can kill you with one hit become common. But as long as you’re a master of the dodge, you won’t have as many problems.
The final boss of The Callisto Protocol will make you apply almost all our tips
Now the time has come for very big spoilers with the final boss of The Callisto Protocol. This is a huge being whose weak point is in its head, you cannot attack it melee and it also asks for help. We would be lying if we said that it is not one of the most complicated of the year, but you can make it more bearable.
Having only two weapons here is very beneficial as you will be able to switch weapons faster. Especially against this rival who is constantly attacking. And the GRP upgrades will help you deal with the creatures that come to help you. The latter explode on collision, so picking them up and throwing them will help you deal damage without wasting bullets.
Also, these creatures explode and leave behind life or bullets that will be very useful to you. As useful as they can be, they also become an inconvenience if you don’t keep an eye on them. Our recommendation is that you keep moving in the center of the ‘arena’, as these creatures come out of the windows.
Of course, at the same time you have to keep an eye on the final boss. Fortunately, this one is quite slow, so setting distance is not that difficult. But if you do come face to face with him, be ready to dodge immediately. As for his ranged attacks, you can hold the stick down to block them. If you also have your deck improved, this will cause you to lose very little health.
If at any point in the fight you need to heal up, the best time is when you destroy the ‘helmet’ that covers his head. Since here the boss is stunned for a few seconds, giving you time to heal. Although you should also be away from him in case he beats you to recover.
