HyperParasite Tips for HyperParasite

HyperParasite Tips

Use the Body Storage Capsules

While playing in Act 1 �?? Downtown you can store up to three host-bodies in Wito's shop. You can use them to survive as a parasite in Act 2 by retrieving a stored host-body from the shop and continuing your run.

Snatch a Miniboss

You chances of survival will increase if you Snatch a miniboss either straight from actually fighting them, or from a Storage. The Act 1 minibosses are Boxer, Werewolf, and Off-Duty Detective.

Upgrade Abilities

If you are not interested in completing HyperParasite in one long playthrough or feel you need more time to improve your abilities you may want to consider buying the Sewer key and entering the 'Sewer and Old Sewers' sub level. The benefit of doing this is there is an upgrade there you can collect that will enable you to lay the groundwork for when the game becomes more challenging. Getting the Sewer Key will also enable you to get the 'Going Deeper' trophy/achievement

Familiarise Yourself with Host Bodies

Make sure you take the time to familiarise yourself with each host body and their capabilites because when you find yourself trying to survive as a defenceless parasite in a boss fight you will not have much time to ponder who you are going to take control of.

Get All the Upgrades

Before you enter the room with the skull on the door to fight a boss make sure you have thoroughly searched every room on the map so that you have every available upgrade. You can check to make sure you have everything by seeing if there are any upgrade indicators on your map. You can quickly collect the upgrades you are missing by teleporting to their location.
