Eikon battles are basically Linear "minigames" lol the fire eikon battle is a rail shooter, you can't control your flight direction.
from gamefaqs:
Play the demo, works fine for a while, then I get to the Morbol fight and during the QTE cinematic strike things, I hear my PS5 turn into a jet engine and just as I go do the QTE strike, the message "Your PS5 is running too hot, turn it off and let it cool down" message comes up, but it just lets me go back to playing the game.
I just think maybe it was a fluke, so I kept going and sure enough, AGAIN on the QTE cinematic strike, it gives me the too hot message.
--------------------------------------
Saw some people in discord I'm in + reddit also say the Morbol fight gave them the overheat message. I literally think there's just something up with that fight that puts the PS5 under extra load. Some PS5s can handle it, others can't. YMMV.
Some things to note or remind:
- I have cleaned my PS5 within the last month.
- Hasn't happened with any other games.
- Was using performance mode.
- PS5 had been off for a while prior to the fight. I got to a save earlier and took a break, so it wasn't on for hours and hours.
- PS5 is well ventilated and in an open space on my TV stand.
- In-door temperature was probably only about 55-60° (it's cool on the west coast US atm).
- Overheat message happened when my PS5's fan sounded like it went into overdrive during the QTE part with the Morbol. Got the tutorial popup AND all the water animations + the QTE were going off at the same time, might have put too much load on the system at once.
