Common Bugs & Fixes

Discover common bugs and their fixes in Metal: Hellsinger. Learn how to calibrate audio/video, adjust FOV, manage power-ups, and more to enhance your demon-slaying experience.

This guide covers common issues and solutions for Metal: Hellsinger players. While the game is generally stable, some players may encounter minor bugs or experience difficulties with certain mechanics. Here, we provide fixes and tips to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Calibrate your audio and video: Since Metal: Hellsinger is a rhythm game, precise timing is crucial. Ensure your audio and video are perfectly synced by using the calibration tool in the Options menu. You can recalibrate anytime if you feel things are out of sync.

Adjust the FOV: Increasing the Field of View (FOV) can significantly help in tracking enemies and avoiding projectiles. Access the Options menu to adjust your FOV to a comfortable level for better situational awareness.

Save power-ups: Power-ups like health crystals and combo boosters are scattered throughout levels. Save these for critical moments: use combo boosters when your combo is about to drop, and health crystals during challenging waves of enemies.

Use Paz to sustain your combo: Paz, the companion skull, can help maintain your combo even when no enemies are around. Fire Paz to the beat of the music while traversing between areas to keep your combo gauge from depleting.

Don’t forget to jump: Utilize the character's agility, including double jumps and mid-air dashes, to evade enemy attacks and reposition yourself effectively during combat.

Reload like a pro: Perform a quick reload by pressing the reload button (X on Xbox Series X) when the golden beat marker aligns with the rhythm indicator during a reload prompt. This minimizes downtime and keeps you in the fight.

Save your Ultimates: Ultimate attacks for each weapon are powerful but take time to charge. Save them for boss fights or large enemy encounters where they can have the most impact.

Execute enemies to restore health: Performing executions on staggered enemies (R3 on consoles) is an effective way to restore a significant amount of health. This can be done from a considerable distance.

Be smart about eliminating enemies: Prioritize high-threat enemies like Behemoths that deal significant damage. Deal with other targets only if they pose an immediate threat or enter your personal space. Ranged attackers can often be managed with good positioning.

Tackle some Torments: If you're finding the main game challenging, attempt Torments. These side missions reward Sigils, which provide passive benefits like increased damage resistance or faster Ultimate charge rates, helping you overcome difficult sections.
