He mentions that at 3:30 ish. You can get the achievement in NG+, after you already have max level weapons, so the actual achievement/trophy isn't hard to do.
For that first red zealot at the clock tower, if you drop an iron ball and immediately run and activate the lift, the ball should instakill the zealot as he runs up the stairs. Makes that part a lot easier.
I did this challenge like on day 2 and I love how the game allows these kinds of challenges having the LE 5 be able to mount scopes and be found in the freezer makes the regenerator section possible for this run. I swear the devs knew people would do this
I think there’s an achievement/trophy for doing this challenge, or maybe just an in-game challenge that awards you challenge points. So definitely planned!
23:15 A stun grenade will also work. Just need to bait the Gigante over the grate and quickly flip the switch before the stun wears off. Tried it a few times yesterday on Hardcore and found that it helps to throw your stun when you're practically already on the switch to hold because you really don't have much time before the stun wears off.
@@elmu6783 pro tip: any challenge with requirements is easy to test for fail states, just go to the challenge in game and look at the "progress" counter. If it's anything higher than 0, it means you fucked up and need to reload a save. Useful for handgun/knife only and no merchant run.
Yeh that got me to, it's almost like if you wait for less than half a second, the crosshairs start to tighten. It's realistic, which I know is the bane of a lot of gamers, but it's really not that bad if you let the game do what it is intended to do.
I’m new to speed runs but let’s just say I’m addicted to the game and I’m super excited to see more content from you because how amazing this game is already have 71 hours of game play
Great run! The only improvement I would suggest to anyone insane enough to try this challenge is to collect both golden eggs. Even on professional difficulty, golden eggs destroy Salazar. Since you can’t sell them to the merchant, they have no other use.
@@JM-pk2nv In a normal run, yes, you can sell them - there's even a request for it during Chapter 4. In this run, however, you can't use the merchant, so the golden eggs serve no purpose other than to be used during the Salazar encounter.
Yea I was confused since that's a in-game challenge/trophy/achievement so it's all dependent on your chosen difficulty and how long you want to drag your playthrough out lol
seeing that there is the silent stranger achievement (don't talk to the merchant even once). the answer to that question is yes. however you did without any bonus equipment on a new savefile which is awesome. i am planning on doing it on my new game plus that i am currently playing.
i havent finished it yet but your opening statement is the same feeling i am having. i played the original on gamecube when it came out and always seem to come back to it. the remake is insanely good and i see myself playing it and the original a lot in the future!
A tip for ashley's section: pulling the gong lights in the mauseoleum can be done in a zigzag pattern starting on the left, then right, then left, then right again. You avoid all the knights doing this. Then you just run into the room. Ez. No stopping to make them freeze with the lamp.
All I hear when you speak about the bloom is that I finally have an excuse for my storm trooper aim. Also, from what I've heard, there are two ways of dodging grabs: running away at the perfect angle (can't confirm) and crouching (only works on non-plagas enemies, so not the broken neck ganados).
Not sure if it's common knowledge or if it was just luck but Leon can actually dodge a grab if you run diagonally away from them, causing the grab to only catch an arm allowing Leon to shake them off and keep running. Happened to me once so people would have to confirm it.
@welowrider32 Yeah, that happened to me a few times, but I never actually tested to confirm how to do it. What I can confirm is that crouching will evade most of the enemy grab attempt animation. However, when an enemy's grab attempt is about to end, they sort of stumble and reach dowards, and that is the part of their grab that can still catch you even while crouching. So, the best thing to do is crouch while walking to the side to get out of the enemy's trail before their grab attempt ends.
@@GrandPurrsuivant I got grabbed a lot while crouching, but not when I crouched last second, so my theory is that the crouch kind of works like a dodge for grabs and punches, meaning that you can’t just be crouching the whole time but you actually have to time it properly
you can reduce the effects of bloom by a ton by standing still, not moving leon or the crosshair, it is doable but messy for something like water hall archers, but super reliable for something like destroying catapults from a safe distance
I think it's mainly because it's the red 9 with no stock. The inaccuracy contra high firepower is kind of the point of the gun. Blacktail for example has a much smaller maximum bloom and focuses the crosshair faster.
The idea (and strenght) of bloom as a game mechanic is that the Game's set pieces require different guns for different situations, as you wouldn´t really use a handgun when on a 100 yrd target.
It could be wrong, but I feel like the "bloom" of the Red 9 is reduced if you let the radical come back into a cross. Like ready your aim, don't move and wait for the two halfs to become a cross again. I alwaya hit my shots, even from afar.
You are right. I think the speed runner in his blood made him refuse to have patience on his shots. Was infuriating to watch him miss shots. I was like "just wait 1 second"

When I defended Ashley in Water Hall (my first runthrough Hardcore) I almost thought I would be softlocked, but after like 4 attempts I managed to get past the cranks with 2 bullets to spare.
@@vanconojl Yeah, I figured out that Ashley scares more easily in this version, avoiding running in place of just cowering. So to actually save Ashley, I had to use 6 magnum bullets, all of my handgun bullets (which was like 15) and then I dodged the enemies trying to attack me in specific because I couldn't risk wasting any ammo on them.
24:37 The first red guy on the lift segment can be killed if you pull the lever for the ball trap and immediately jump down to start the lift, red guy will spawn in front of the rolling ball and die to it. 25:07 This game doesn't just have bloom, it seems the non-rifle bullets deviate from its intended trajectory like bolt thrower bolts do(shoot at long range and watch them fly in random direction after a bit). Also the AA gun on helicopter part can be destroyed with grenades, saving time and probably bullets.

I understand bloom in games where you can aim down sights, or as representation of shotgun blast radius. But man, I did all the shooting gallery games on S rank and some of them made me tilted beyond belief (and I very rarely actually tilt while gaming) when I missed the last shot required for premium target because the bloom just decided to fuck me over (looking at you TMP, but also basic handgun)

Fun fact, for the salazar fight, if you collect an egg and throw it in his face at the start, it wipes out like, 80% of his health bar. The video I saw used a golden egg, so not sure if it has to be that one (haven't tested myself yet) but that could be a game changer possibly.
I believe you can parry Krauser's thrown knifes to get a brand new knife fot yourself to use. Idk if the drop rate is 100% or if it works on pro, but it does happen on standard. Might save someone who didn't save up enough knifes vs Krauser

4:24 by the way, is the amount of enemies required to progress lowered in NG+? I swear even with bonus weapons, I had to 100% focus Dr Salvador in order to kill him before the bell rang, because it seemed to go off on my second or third kill otherwise, at least after trigging the barricade in the shotgun house.

"NO SHOWERS, NO GRASS, NO GIRLFRIENDS!" Thank goodness I work from home and have a fiancée. No grass and no girlfriend time for gaming. 😂 I love these videos.
Knowing how Salazar can be almost entirely taken care of by hitting him in the face with a golden egg saved so much ammo for me on my first time through. I imagine if there was a speedrun category for no merchant in this version of the game, itd be a big thing to get the two golden eggs before the fight to allow you to skip the entire fight.
The room with the two blind guys as long as you don’t past halfway on the big table in front of them and only use the bolt thrower even mines they big blind guys will not break off the wall just no regular guns but you can use flash boomers. You can kill all the regular enemies then take on the blind dudes using the bells which lets them injure each other. The game hints to use the bolt thrower since it has bolts and mines as drops around the room.
Problem is that zealots keep spawning until the Garradors are dead. You can get yourself a window by taking them out silently, but I found it easier to just wake the Garradors and then run around and let them take care of the zealots, and then put shots into the Garradors once the zealots have thinned out a bit.
A good strat to kill the 1st red zealot on elevator section is to pull the lever that summons the spiked ball and then quickly go down and start the elevator. The ball will kill the zealot before he even reaches his spot lmao
Something maybe a little overlooked about Leon's insane power level here -- A ton of Leon's feats happen after having his knife slide through his hand, my man's thumb is probably hanging on by a little skin flap and he's still smokin' plagas left and right. Leon's a g
You can technically duck the grabs, there is even a tip that tells you can crouch to avoid grabs. Although it’s very inconsistent, it’s usually 50/50 whenever I play. Sometimes I dodge them, other times I just get grabbed anyway despite crouching 2 seconds before I got grabbed. I could see why you thought the grabs are uncrouchable. The crouch dodge wasn’t implemented very well.
@PeakWheat tbh I don't think he even knew about it or the auto sniper, else he would've mentioned it at the start when talking about weapons you don't need to buy, and consideringtheres mechanics he doesnt even know about like lettibg leon aim for a second makes the crosshair smaller abd eliminate the bloom he complained so much about. But you're right he wouldn't have been able to pick it up anyway unless he thought it was a worthy trade with the shotgun or red 9
I just completed this challenge on Hardcore. I did use the Sentinel Nine and the skull shaker to save inventory space(plus very occasional bonus weapons when I had absolutely no ammo). It was still pretty challenging considering I had to use boot knives up until the Krauser boss fight, then save the primal knife for the final boss.
The bloom is balanced out by having the ability to hold still and the crosshairs will get smaller. The red9 is by far the least accurate handgun, which is why I use the black tail. Fully upgraded, you won’t really know the difference in power, but it’s so much more accurate. The red9 requires more patience to get good accuracy out by holding as still as possible. Bloom is how they’ve balanced our moving while shooting, it requested you to hold still to get off accurate shots, so you can’t just move all the time and kill everything like the doom slayer lol. Is it somewhat random where the Bullet goes? Yes, but you can control the size of the bloom and how you use it to be near perfect in accuracy and precision.
What you have done is explain the mechanics of how bloom works. A known quantity. We all understand it. The issue is that bloom is trash and dumb to smoke, but devs keep filling our bongs with it.
If you are fast enough, right before activating the lift in the bell tower, pull the lever to drop a spiked ball then jump down and pull the elevator lever. The ball will squash the zelot
@@izanagiforsmite4365 We have no-clip tools already and it was tested in NG by going up to the bell and shooting it. You may be right that its rifle and RPG only but then theres not much of a point since they are inaccessible.
@@izanagiforsmite4365 No clue, I haven't seen anyone show interest in delving deeper since people are looking for currently practical things. NG+ runners may have tested it though, wont claim no one has.
11:00 This section you called the hardest I stealthed through, if you just stab and snipe everyone it basically goes through without a hitch. But... you don't have the rifle :P
You gotta wait while standing still for the reticle to come together fully. Then you get that pinpoint accuracy. It's easy to snipe stuff with the Red9 that way, just needs patience.
Just So you know as this will be Pretty useful for speed runs you can just skip the whole Village survival section By just shooting the Bell tower in the distance your self. You can do it with a pistol too. so no wasting ammor or waiting for a timer.
I can’t believe someone left a comment about speed running like that! With that way of thinking, even real world science would not matter since every improvement in all fields were built on someone else’s discovery. Just because you began at someone else’s technique doesn’t mean there is nothing further to find or optimize. People get better much faster when they build on each others findings! (As long as the original method is credited).
I had a really hard time with Salazar my first run, his little mine pod things can fuck everything up so fast. Wasn't expecting him to be as mobile this time around.
I thought you could parry the grabs tough. Saw it happen a couple of tiems when i watched a playthrough. Leon absically slashes their arm off this way.
21:49 WELL MAYBE JUST MAYBE BECAUSE CAPCOM EXPECTED PLAYERS TO DO THIS CHALLENGE ON NG+ WITH MAXED OUT WEAPONS INSTEAD OF TORTURING THEMSELVES WITH LEVEL 1 CASE AND EQUIPMENT. JUST SAYING🙄
Yes theres an challange gives you achievment for doing it its called the silent stranger theres also one for completing the game with pistol and knife only and one for not using any recovery items for the whole game
I gave up on the Red9 because of this 'bloom' thing. The handguns with laser sight are king, but even without sight I think any handgun's crosshair closes faster than the Red9's.

Fun fact, for the salazar fight, if you collect an egg and throw it in his face at the start, it wipes out like, 80% of his health bar. The video I saw used a golden egg, so not sure if it has to be that one (haven't tested myself yet) but that could be a game changer possibly.
I believe you can parry Krauser's thrown knifes to get a brand new knife fot yourself to use. Idk if the drop rate is 100% or if it works on pro, but it does happen on standard. Might save someone who didn't save up enough knifes vs Krauser
I just finished on hardcore and it works on that difficulty
You can kill Salazar with two golden eggs and skip his fight
He obviously knows.
How to beat plantera from Terraria you got to spin around a circle and use weapons like the death sickle the razorblade typhoon the chlorophyte shot bow the mega shark the uzi the Superstar shooter the bubble gun the tsunami the Daedalus stormbow those weapons delete plantera and destroy her tendrils
4:24 by the way, is the amount of enemies required to progress lowered in NG+? I swear even with bonus weapons, I had to 100% focus Dr Salvador in order to kill him before the bell rang, because it seemed to go off on my second or third kill otherwise, at least after trigging the barricade in the shotgun house.
Leaving a like and saving to my watch later, but dipping out til i get the chance to play.
Preemptive thanks and gg for the run!
I did much the same, held off on watching much RE 4 remake content until I beat the game.
I absolutely love ALL of your videos. I just now realized I wasn't subscribed and I got so mad at myself. Seriously one of my favorite channels right now. I'm sorry it took me so long to sub.
"NO SHOWERS, NO GRASS, NO GIRLFRIENDS!" Thank goodness I work from home and have a fiancée. No grass and no girlfriend time for gaming. 😂 I love these videos.
Knowing how Salazar can be almost entirely taken care of by hitting him in the face with a golden egg saved so much ammo for me on my first time through. I imagine if there was a speedrun category for no merchant in this version of the game, itd be a big thing to get the two golden eggs before the fight to allow you to skip the entire fight.
The room with the two blind guys as long as you don’t past halfway on the big table in front of them and only use the bolt thrower even mines they big blind guys will not break off the wall just no regular guns but you can use flash boomers. You can kill all the regular enemies then take on the blind dudes using the bells which lets them injure each other. The game hints to use the bolt thrower since it has bolts and mines as drops around the room.
Problem is that zealots keep spawning until the Garradors are dead. You can get yourself a window by taking them out silently, but I found it easier to just wake the Garradors and then run around and let them take care of the zealots, and then put shots into the Garradors once the zealots have thinned out a bit.
@@alondite215 they run out eventually just stay in the first half of the room no problem. But yes that works to
You can save a ton of ammo on the Salazar fight, throw a golden egg at him and he's almost dead
COTD: if they do remake resident evil 5, what do you hope they will keep, and what changes do you think that need to be made?
Do you think there will be a RE4 REMAKE randomizer in the future?
i saw a video of a dude killing salazar by throwing 2 golden eggs at him, not sure if its real tho
A good strat to kill the 1st red zealot on elevator section is to pull the lever that summons the spiked ball and then quickly go down and start the elevator. The ball will kill the zealot before he even reaches his spot lmao
Something maybe a little overlooked about Leon's insane power level here -- A ton of Leon's feats happen after having his knife slide through his hand, my man's thumb is probably hanging on by a little skin flap and he's still smokin' plagas left and right. Leon's a g
13:00 its a trade off for red nine's damage. Other pistols you can just equip laser
You can technically duck the grabs, there is even a tip that tells you can crouch to avoid grabs. Although it’s very inconsistent, it’s usually 50/50 whenever I play. Sometimes I dodge them, other times I just get grabbed anyway despite crouching 2 seconds before I got grabbed. I could see why you thought the grabs are uncrouchable. The crouch dodge wasn’t implemented very well.
I am glad to see I'm not the only one who went full anime (villain + japanese dub) for subsequent runs.
Do you know abou the villag skip
You can shoot the chirch Bell to skip the vilkag section
Oh yeah you can do that!
thats only on ng+
Did you not get the LE5? It’s in the room with the Wrench Regenerator
Probably because inventory space
@PeakWheat tbh I don't think he even knew about it or the auto sniper, else he would've mentioned it at the start when talking about weapons you don't need to buy, and consideringtheres mechanics he doesnt even know about like lettibg leon aim for a second makes the crosshair smaller abd eliminate the bloom he complained so much about. But you're right he wouldn't have been able to pick it up anyway unless he thought it was a worthy trade with the shotgun or red 9
I just completed this challenge on Hardcore. I did use the Sentinel Nine and the skull shaker to save inventory space(plus very occasional bonus weapons when I had absolutely no ammo). It was still pretty challenging considering I had to use boot knives up until the Krauser boss fight, then save the primal knife for the final boss.
The bloom is balanced out by having the ability to hold still and the crosshairs will get smaller. The red9 is by far the least accurate handgun, which is why I use the black tail. Fully upgraded, you won’t really know the difference in power, but it’s so much more accurate. The red9 requires more patience to get good accuracy out by holding as still as possible. Bloom is how they’ve balanced our moving while shooting, it requested you to hold still to get off accurate shots, so you can’t just move all the time and kill everything like the doom slayer lol.
Is it somewhat random where the Bullet goes? Yes, but you can control the size of the bloom and how you use it to be near perfect in accuracy and precision.
What you have done is explain the mechanics of how bloom works.
A known quantity. We all understand it.
The issue is that bloom is trash and dumb to smoke, but devs keep filling our bongs with it.
I like the end you are eating goldfish
If you are fast enough, right before activating the lift in the bell tower, pull the lever to drop a spiked ball then jump down and pull the elevator lever. The ball will squash the zelot
I known you already know this probably but you can shoot the bell in the village to skip the whole sequence
Only on NG+
@Redwolf Grenier it can probably be hit on new game, but only snipers can strike it. But I feel that being a gimmick will be abused in due time
@@izanagiforsmite4365 We have no-clip tools already and it was tested in NG by going up to the bell and shooting it. You may be right that its rifle and RPG only but then theres not much of a point since they are inaccessible.
@@HandsomeBunBun neat, not even the mp5 or the assault rifle with scopes on can hit it?
@@izanagiforsmite4365 No clue, I haven't seen anyone show interest in delving deeper since people are looking for currently practical things. NG+ runners may have tested it though, wont claim no one has.
For now, it feels like a platinum trophy due to S+ requirement is for me something impossible.
1:26 What happened to the audio? Why'd it cut out?
I mean if you do it with infinite handcanon you can do it
Will you make a video explaining all the current glitches and skips that have been found so far?
you can just stand still for a second and your crosshair shrinks and accuracy is no longer a problem
Still has bloom
L plus ratio 😂
9:29 "I didn't save the dog because I'm a speed runner"
I: **closes the video immediately** I will not support soulless maniacs content
for someone that uses machine girl music in every video there is suprisingly a lack of neon white speed run videos
Use the Gold Egg on Salazar. Regardless of difficulty it does 70% damage
11:00 This section you called the hardest I stealthed through, if you just stab and snipe everyone it basically goes through without a hitch. But... you don't have the rifle :P
you can end the village early by shooting the bell in the distance outside the map
its an EE that is really convenient
Can you do it on New Game though? ;)
Doesn’t work in new game tho. You need a long range weapon to trigger it
I hated the grabbing enemies until i realized you can just duck under their grab.
Mods that remove the bloom and the zoom out reticle makes this game SO enjoyable. Like it's clear as day with and without the mod.
You gotta wait while standing still for the reticle to come together fully. Then you get that pinpoint accuracy. It's easy to snipe stuff with the Red9 that way, just needs patience.
FINALLY waifu blessing us with re4 remake content I'm so hyyyyyype
Dude you have the best background music.
Just So you know as this will be Pretty useful for speed runs you can just skip the whole Village survival section By just shooting the Bell tower in the distance your self. You can do it with a pistol too. so no wasting ammor or waiting for a timer.
Only works on NG+, I'm pretty sure.
You actually can't do it with a pistol. Only sniper rifles and rocket launcher
I can’t believe someone left a comment about speed running like that!
With that way of thinking, even real world science would not matter since every improvement in all fields were built on someone else’s discovery.
Just because you began at someone else’s technique doesn’t mean there is nothing further to find or optimize.
People get better much faster when they build on each others findings! (As long as the original method is credited).
What’s your favourite type of play through?
I was waiting for your video waifu. Thank u
Out of all of the Resident Evil bosses, which is the hardest in your opinion and why?
I had a really hard time with Salazar my first run, his little mine pod things can fuck everything up so fast. Wasn't expecting him to be as mobile this time around.
I thought you could parry the grabs tough. Saw it happen a couple of tiems when i watched a playthrough. Leon absically slashes their arm off this way.
These were melee attacks like punches
21:49 WELL MAYBE JUST MAYBE BECAUSE CAPCOM EXPECTED PLAYERS TO DO THIS CHALLENGE ON NG+ WITH MAXED OUT WEAPONS INSTEAD OF TORTURING THEMSELVES WITH LEVEL 1 CASE AND EQUIPMENT. JUST SAYING🙄
5:44 😅😅😅 THIS IS ULTRA SERIOUS GAMER MODE 😅
•NO showers.
•NO grass.
•NO girlfriends.
•JUST gaming.
My god waifu, your joke game is on point, especially in this one
Fun fact you can use a golden egg to hit Salazar then just unload on him with your strongest gun to kill him quickly
you can duck the grabs, surprised you didn't know this
nice run
Literally been watching your videos for days now
Yes theres an challange gives you achievment for doing it its called the silent stranger theres also one for completing the game with pistol and knife only and one for not using any recovery items for the whole game
I gave up on the Red9 because of this 'bloom' thing. The handguns with laser sight are king, but even without sight I think any handgun's crosshair closes faster than the Red9's.
I just thought you would all enjoy knowing if you shoot the church bell during the village fight it ends as soon as it starts :)
Only works on new game plus tho with a scoped weapon
Did you know you can crouch the church bell while scoped in to skip the bloom on the single moms
I was just about to write that to him he might as well use that strategy
it’s perfect for speed runs you can just skip the village all together 💯🔥
You can shoot the church bell in the distance and it instantly ends the village encounter.
So,shooting the church bell in the Village ends the chapter.
It's possible with the sniper ,but with the pistol I am usure.
