Can You Beat Sonic Frontiers WITHOUT Leveling Up?

  • Sonic Frontiers is without a doubt the best 3D Sonic game in at least a decade. But while it was a lot of fun, I found it way too easy, especially with how easy it is to cheese the Fishing mechanics to get to Level 99 and steamroll everything. So today we answer the question: can you beat Sonic Frontiers without skill upgrades and all stats at Level 1?

    Hey guys, thanks so much for watching!
    There's a small audio gltich that I didn't catch before upload, it's at 7:46 and is just a short click, but I don't want anyone to be startled by it if they listen to my videos on high volume 😅 that part of the the video comes from an animation called "Sonic's Nightmare" by $eg@, which I don't think has an official upload source anymore but has been uploaded to UA-cam in a few different places
    Also, this entire playthrough was streamed live on this channel! Let me know if you'd like to see more streams from me here instead of on Twitch.

    Neither levels nor skills are needed, only Cyloop (You're forced to unlock it) and the first story move can be used.

    One of my runs was:
    1. No level ups
    2. No unlockable skills (except Cyloop and story skills)
    3. Hard mode
    4. No fishing (way to get any item easily)
    5. 100%
    6. No death from a boss, guardian, obstacle or enemy

    • @NeatOnTheRocks
      @NeatOnTheRocks  Рік тому +2

      Honestly when I play the game from now on I'll probably only level up speed, and buy skills from the skill tree. Leveling up attack, defense and ring count just make the game a breeze lmao

    The one thing that bothered me was how easy everything felt when you leveled up, so one of the first things I did when I got Sonic Frontiers was not touching the level system, everything became much more impactful and challenging, and that's what I wanted but even then, it wasn't enough, you can beat sonic frontiers even with the hardest mods without any of the level up, yes, even Hedgehog May Cry. Of course, for those PC mods, you'll need a PC, most of the fun mods are on there, and the closest you'll come to an challenge without it now is on update 3's final horizon, it is possible to beat the final boss without any upgrades there too. But you'll have to play your cards right.

    I have two ideas for this comment.
    1. You sound like an adult sonic, ever done a sonadow comic dub?
    2. You sound like an adult sonic; Could you say: "Hey Shadow, what's this book about? The title sounds pretty philosophical, Fifty Shades of Grey... Hmm, he doesn't seem to be here... Maybe if I turn to a random pa- *OH MY GOD!"* *(two hours later)* "Sonic, I'm home! Sonic where are- *WHAT THE ++++?!"* "Choke me like you hate me but you love me-"

    I’m pretty sure leveling up in this game is just a placebo effect. I swear the speed upgrades don’t do anything

    • @NeatOnTheRocks
      @NeatOnTheRocks  Рік тому +3

      It took me until after my 100% playthrough to learn that Max Ring Boost's max speed is the same at Lv1 as it is at 99. Upgrading your speed affects only non-ring boost speed, and air boost speed. All the times I got a massive speed upgrade and tested it out I was being placebo'd.
      Damage upgrades are definitely a thing though. At 99 you kill supreme in like 3 combos lol
