As players make their way through the world of Hi-Fi Rush, they will encounter areas that are inaccessible due to fire. While fans will not be able to pass through these flames initially, they will eventually earn an ability that allows them to do so. This guide is here to provide details on that ability and explain how to get through fire in Hi-Fi Rush.

To note, some spoilers are contained within the following description of how to get through flame doors. For those players that wish to avoid such spoilers, it may be sufficient to say that it is not possible to miss the relevant ability, and the game makes it quite clear when it is usable.

Hi-Fi Rush: How to Get Through Flame Doors

Players will have the ability to pass through fire once Korsica has joined Chai's crew. This occurs at the end of Track 7, and fans of rhythm games will have a chance to speak with the character at the hideout before they start the next stage. Notably, it is within this next stage that players will pass through a flame door for the first time, provided that they can get a handle on their new ability.

With respect to exactly how this first passage occurs, fans of character action games will find that fire is blocking a back route near the beginning of Track 8. Upon approaching this fire, Korsica will indicate that she can provide assistance, and players should press LT to cycle through their partners until she is selected in the top-left corner of the screen. Players should then hold RT to call Korsica into the stage, target the flame, and release the trigger to initiate a rhythm mini-game.

This mini-game manifests as a red circle that is marked with several green "timing spots." After a short countdown finishes, a cursor will begin to move around that circle, and fans must press RT when it is atop the timing spots. Correct timing will cause Korsica to charge up her energy and blow out the flames temporarily, allowing Hi-Fi Rush players to quickly pass through.

One final thing to mention is that players will gain the ability to replay levels once they beat Hi-Fi Rush. It is at that point that fans can pass through the fire-blocked doorways that they encountered prior to Track 8. Players may also want to take that opportunity to improve their stage scores or try out Rhythm Mastery difficulty, which is also unlocked upon completion of the game.

Hi-Fi Rush is available for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
