Tips

During the Comms Array circuit puzzle, look for battery modules with working circuit lines and use Kinesis to insert them so the power path traces uninterrupted from the bottom to the top dish node.
In the exterior ADS cannon fight against the Leviathan Remnant, use the ADS guns to shoot the glowing orange nodes on its tentacles while alternating cannons when one overheats or takes heavy fire.
