Returnal Cargo Bay: How to Get Inside the Locked Door in Helios


Returnal throws you headfirst into a hostile alien environment with little more than a handgun to help you survive. Your ship, Helios, has crashed down from above.

The door leads to the Cargo Bay, but it will be locked for most of your time with Returnal. Here's how to open the Cargo Bay Door in Helios.

What's Inside the Cargo Bay?

Inside the Cargo Bay you will find a device that allows you to switch between the two main timelines in the game. This means switching between the following sets of biomes:

  1. Overgrown Ruins, Crimson Wastes, Derelict Citadel
  2. Echoing Ruins, Fractured Ruins, Abyssal Scar

You can use this to collect Xenoglyphs you may have missed, and to replay certain bosses.
