How to Spend Ether for Returnal

How to Spend Ether

In Returnal you will restart your journey whenever you die, you will however lose everything that you have accumulated in the run before. The only exception to this is the time-travelling resource called ether which stays in your inventory when you respawn back at your ship. Ether is a rare resource which has many uses, so it is important that you use what you collected throughout each of the biome's wisely. The options which you have are:

A Reconstructor

This lets you create a respawn point. This can be particularly useful when you are having a good run.

An Obolite Repository

This enables you to gain more obolite and purchase items that prolong your run. This is especially useful if you want to continue a good run.

The Cthonos

This allows to unlock new artifacts and items. You will find this obelisk at the beginning of each new run.

Cleanse Malignant Objects

You can also spend Ether to cleanse malignant objects, but it is recommended that you don't do this as the trade-off is not worth the cost.
