Master 'The Test' mission in Hyper Light Breaker with our comprehensive guide. Learn strategies for turrets, DUP soldiers, and the King boss fight, plus tips for Neon absorption and combat.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head to the bridge marked on your map. Absorb Neon from the lights near the large gate if you don't have any.
  2. 2
    Sprint to the top of the stone gate, absorb smoke, and jump to the bridge.
  3. 3
    Destroy the automated turrets:
    • Turret 1: Go through the gap in shipping crates to get behind it.
  4. 4
    Turret 2: Dash through the fence behind Turret 1, take the left path, jump up, and dash right through the DUP fence to get above it.
  5. 5
    Turrets 3 and 4: Dash through the DUP fence/gate behind Turret 2. Jump on the second level of crates for Turret 3, then climb two more crates for Turret 4.
  6. 6
    Turret 5: From Turret 4's position, jump and air dash to the next set of crates (four high), then to the further set (also four high) to get behind Turret 5.
  7. 7
    Cross the busted bridge: Use the destroyed car to Car Boost over the first large gap.
  8. 8
    Deal with the DUP checkpoint and soldiers: Land on top of the checkpoint if you have Double Air Dash. Fight the DUP soldiers, using your Karmic Streak and Orbital Drop if available, or use their erected cover.
  9. 9
    Enter the arena: Drop from the hanging platform into the arena.
  10. 10
    Defeat the King:
    • Before absorbing Neon, use all Cinder Missiles on him.
  11. 11
    Absorb Neon for Heavy Ammo and use your Phosphor Beam for massive damage.
  12. 12
    Each stone platform has Neon lights that regenerate, providing Heavy Ammo and healing.
  13. 13
    Rinse and repeat: Drain Neon, hit with Phosphor Beam (approx. 8 hits needed).
  14. 14
    The mission concludes after defeating the King.
Tips
  • Build up a Karmic Streak before starting the mission for easier combat against DUP soldiers.
  • Acquire Laser Focus for easier precision shooting.
  • Use the touchpad swipe gesture when behind turrets to destroy them in one motion.
  • If injured during the King fight, dash away and drain Neon to heal.
  • The King can be defeated relatively quickly with effective use of Phosphor Beam and Neon absorption.
