  • - 10 rules I set for myself for this challenge -
    1. Legendary difficulty with the Mythic skull on.
    2. Plasma Pistol melee only.
    3. No jumping.
    4. Must give a respectful bow to the Chieftain before the fight.
    5. Must let the Chieftain do the opening attack to start the fight.
    6. Must not take any damage from the Chieftain.
    7. Every player melee attack must successfully hit the Chieftain.
    8. Must prevent the Chieftain from equipping his Hammer.
    9. Every time after you hit the Chieftain, the Chieftain must get to perform at least one melee attack before you can hit the Chieftain again.
    10. After the Chieftain has depleted his Invincibility and the player has downed the Chieftain's shields once more after that, that's when you can finish him off with an assassination. No assassinating allowed before then.
    Between having to form a rigid understanding of the Chieftain's melee combat AI behavior plus animations and actually do the fight perfectly, this took me about 300 attempts or so. Kinda wish I didn't have to resort to assassinating him, but with these Legendary+Mythic health values his health regeneration becomes seemingly impossible to beat with just Plasma Pistol melee, so I figured that thoroughly besting the Chieftain at melee combat and using the assassination as an elegant finisher was the next best thing.

    He could have ended the battle right there, when the Chieftain missed his punch, the man could just deliver a assasination that would kill the Chieftain right there. But no, he decided to make a longer fight, to make a fight that the Chieftain deserved. This man is the equivalent of a elite, a honorable warrior.

    • @slate8409
      @slate8409 2 роки тому +12

      Banished are all about pragmatism. I'm sure some traditions persist but they're a pure meritocracy - being stupid and playing fair doesn't get you far. Getting results is how you advance and Decimus was a perfect example of this. He didn't even try to fight Red Team fair and square. He played it smart, relying on orbital bombardment and artillery to tilt the odds in his favor. The only reason he lost was because the Spirit of Fire's forces used fast movers and relied on mobility to outmaneuver those advantages and even the odds enough for their own numbers to matter.
      Probably the only characters we'll ever see that with are the Hand of Atriox, specifically the Spartan Killers as they're expressly intended to act as minibosses. And I doubt we're going to fight many in true one on one duels.

    "rigid understanding of the Chieftain's melee combat AI behavior"
    now im very curious, how does his AI work in this duel? Love reading about this sort of stuff.
    "health regeneration"
    I always thought AI had only a limited amount of health regen, does this particular chieftain have full regen or something or is that something that applies to all chieftains in the game?

    • @glowaru
      @glowaru  Рік тому +2

      1. Basically this fistfight is not supposed to exist. Throughout this fight I just keep being at certain ranges and locations relative to the Chieftain at the end of each one of his animations in order to forcibly trigger his AI to prioritize meleeing me the whole time. If at any point throughout the fight at the end of an animation an immediate melee hit became a small enough priority for him as the next action to execute, he would take out his Hammer like he's normally supposed to, making him end the fistfight; which I obviously didn't want for the purpose of this video. He's also basically guaranteed to prioritize melee if you're behind him, whereas being in front of him is risky cause there's a chance he'll want to use his weapon instead; that's why I had a lot of failures at the initial respectful bow part of the fight where RNG made him just take out his Hammer instead of punching me. The distance at which I chose to give him a respectful bow in this video is about perfect for persuading him to melee me; any farther or closer makes him more likely to take out the Hammer in my experience. So this whole fight was a bunch of constant AI manipulation with style on my part.
      2. I was also surprised at the fact that I was unable to kill him with punches on Legendary difficulty with Mythic skull on. I'm pretty sure this Chieftain has entirely the same stats as any other Chieftain and I've looked at the stats in mod tools before, so I didn't think those stats would be enough for his health regeneration to outpace my punches. I do have a theory that maybe the Mythic skull also lowers the health regeneration delay on top of doubling the health; but who knows, that's just how I felt while fistfighting him.

      Because since the very start of the fight and all the way to the end, I kept forcing his AI to prioritize using melee attacks against me by positioning myself at the correct locations relative to him at the correct moments. One small mistake on my part regarding this combat dance would've made him take out his hammer, and thus ruin the fistfight attempt; which happened about 300 times before this successful attempt that you see right here.

      At the start you gotta close in quick to trigger an unarmed melee attack from him. It's kinda RNG but it worked for me most tries.
      During the fight you gotta continuously position yourself at the right locations to constantly trigger melee attacks from him so he doesn't pull out the Hammer.

    • @glowaru
      @glowaru  11 місяців тому +1

      Yes. You actually got me curious as to whether someone had made a video about this back in the X360 era and I did find one from 15 years ago, uploaded in 2008.
      This guy uses Spiker melee to fight this Chieftain in a 1v1 melee fight while the other Brutes watch on the sidelines: ua-cam.com/video/hLGEOtn8O5k/v-deo.html
      As a sidenote; it's not a 1v1 fistfight though since this guy lets the Chieftain take out his Hammer, not to mention that the Spiker melee has more damage than the Plasma Pistol melee. My method requires constantly manipulating the Chieftain's AI through very specific positioning of yourself relative to the Chieftain's location, in order to force the Chieftain to always consider punching you to be the best option it can take; which is not 100% consistent but it's like 95% consistent. Also worth mentioning is the fact that I had a bunch of other custom rules that I imposed on myself which I detailed in the description to make it extra challenging and therefore extra satisfying to pull this fight off successfully.
      Nonetheless, that video from 15 years ago is great to see as proof that a 1v1 fight with this particular Chieftain was always possible ever since the game's original release.
