So I forgot to mention in the intro, that I also won't be doing non-lethal takedowns. Been getting a lot of comments about it, and wanted to clear things up. If I could do them this game wouldn't be a challenge, so no point in doing the run. hope that makes sense! I'm going to stop replying to comments on this topic.
@@iamvmotherfucker so because my soulmate is lines of codes forming a picture on a screen that isn't even sentient, I'm stupid? Sounds like a skill issue buddy, git gud
Johnny doesn't actually move anything. You can walk right through it, and if you look back at the spot where he appeared to grab that stool from, you'll see that it is in the same place it was when he appeared to grab it.
Yeah he's kinda like in the movie The Invisible. Perception shows objects move but as soon as things are done and out of vision they go back to as if never moved.
God I REALLY enjoy watching challenge runs like these, they're so nice to just watch or have on in the background, but they're ALSO fun to watch if you're interested in doing these challenge runs and wanna know what this stuff is like.
Lol that’s what I did on my first ever run-through, I became a stealthy cyberdeck ninja using the stealth takedown but I’d always kill, & if I get caught I go guns blazing, quickhacks hacking, grenades flinging
something like a sandevistan could’ve been useful here because while time is slowed, it slows down all your cooldowns too so you stay invis for much much longer
@@gustavsmg time slows for your enemies, not you, meaning the opposite , if you move in sandy, their detection will be much slower, to them its "what was that?" probably nothing !
There's so many little things you miss. When you're doing the fingers quest, if you don't want to wait in line, you can hack his computer and delete his schedule to put you next
Watching Weyland solo Smasher made me wish he had more than like two lines of dialogue outside this mission. Even Nix gets two side jobs but the dude who follows you on one of the endings and is the son of a major character from Johnny’s past doesn’t even get a gig. Insulting.
Possible Suggestion, Can you beat Cyberpunk with only Skippy without being a bad user? Essentially if Skippy asks you to return him run is over. Also an extra challenge with this, no need for it to be done, do Don't Fear the Reaper.
Installing the pacifist mod in the Optics cyberware makes the kill counting of Skippy freeze so it never asks you to take him back nor changes to Puppy-Loving mode Having that in mind you could easily cheese this run
Brought me back to Cyberpunk I finished the game. Thanks man! Elden Ring still wants me to suffer though, not sure how much longer Cyberpunk will keep me.
I found you yesterday, I watched all of your challenges and I can't wait for more. I might dip into some of your other series at some point as those challenges were so good. Keep up the great work man!
One run ide like to see is "can you beat cyberpunk with only stealth" Basically a pure stealth playthrough, the trick though being if you ever get seen by enemies you have to either die or load a new save. Personally I think this is bad enough especially for bosses, so maybe no weapon or cyberdeck restrictions
About the Johnny moving the little red stool, once he disappears give it a couple seconds of not looking, and the red stool is right back where he grabbed it from
Along with the police and maxtac being upgraded I'd LOVE to see some interesting work with netwatch being an issue somehow. Would be amazing if they were also a big deal. Like instead of ncpd missions there could be some really cool missions with netwatch I feel like somehow
"And once again I check if my car will disappear against that fence" Dude... I sat there eating my dinner and smiling like I was just listening to a friend after watching all of your challenge runs over the last 2-3 days and seeing you do this over and over :D
Fun fact! In the float hacking segment if you choose the corpo path, there'll be a guard you can intimidate which will make all the enemies ignore you until takemura opens the roof (might work better if theres a way to run away before he opens it or just avoid opening it at all)
I love how you cared so much about shooting the dude in the second Johnny segment, meanwhile you literally blow up 12,000 people with a nuclear bomb in the first sequence. Johnny silverhand alone is responsible for an event that’s only like 5x less intense as Hiroshima 😂
I had invisibility and I never used it.. LOL - in fact I had Cyber stuff that I didn't know how to fit. Fun fact, if you put Skippy on Stone killer mode and then add the Non-lethal mode, Skippy doesn't lock up after 50 kills
This video is great because it reminds me of DarkViperAU's mission to complete GTA V pacifist. You said the recording for this was 19h, which is an insane amount of time, but funny compared to his run on GTA where he spent over 30 hours in a single mission! XD Love pacifist runs of games, always a treat!
It's here!!! I'm still 1/2 way though the game with this run (work n family leave little time) and with a lot more knockouts and stealthily. Tapping into my dishonored ghost n clean hands prowess. most of the time it doubles n triples the time per mission Love your work mate!
Bro, please Do more cyberpunk. Ur the only Person on UA-cam that makes challanges like These about cyberpunk and u inspired me to Do something like this too. Yesterday i played with only swords and knifes. And today im playing with only sniper rifles and of course fists cause sometimes i dont have weapons. And i beg u to Do more. It's just fun to watch.
I don't understand why stealth knockouts don't count in this challenge. It literally puts people to sleep without causing damage. Only the dump box ones have you bash their head on the rim of the container if I remember, but regular ones just put the enemy to sleep without causing any visible harm.
When entering that arasaka base as a corpo you can just talk your way in by talking to the guard and they let you in without challenge , so you didn't need to jump 😉
I ran into the same problems in my current melee-only playthrough. I decided to shoot the bikes/cars where necessary, also shoot the required drones. Johnny segments are canon so it's fine, technicaly that's a remembrance and you have nothing to do with it. If bots/drones are required, you can stretch the rules. Beginnings and endings can be chosen accordingly. Other than that, this game is so flexible in terms of different playthrough styles. That is a golden well of different runs and challenges.
I feel like I should mention it, if you’re a Corpo. The soldier at the gate has dialogue to just let you into the warehouse, through multiple guards, doors, and cameras. All without combat. Not sure on the exit part, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they just you walk back out as well
The challenge I set for my self on my current playthrough, is absolutely no netrunning, and I did not apply perk points or attributes until level 45/50. The reason I did that is because I know I can only reset my attribute points once per playthrough, and I wanted to experiment with some endgame build suggestions I've found on youtube. Drones & Robots were the most annoying thing to deal with since they aren't really susceptible to headshot damage multipliers, and I couldn't use short circuit on them. I found that the AGAOU Iconic throwable axe was great for drones, since it emits a shockwave on crits, and I have cockatrice eyes boosting crits.
I think its funny cause in-universe, after months of senseless violence and murder, V now all of a sudden just goes “I dont commit big hurtie anymore!”
When johnny moves things, just assume he's controlling the body there are a couple scenes where Johnny interacts with things and V mimicks the action. U definitely don't see V move that stool though
Hey Abraham love the vid, i really enjoy it. I would like to suggest you do a OverPowered Builds Challenges like doing with specific weapons, similaryly like the Skyrim OP builds videos.
There is a little extra money in the corpo start. There is a vending machine in lizzies that you can buy out of nicola with the money they are about to take from you anyway. It is incredibly minor because the machines only have like 20 colas or something like that in them, but it is technically free money.
Wish picking a life path actually did something like if you chose corpo you would start with and extra 10k or something and with streetkid you start with higher street kid and idk nomad has a car or something
I have already watched a coupel of your videos but I think never wrote comment cause I thought you have a couple millions followers but apparently you dont so what I want to say is that I really Love your videos and appreciate your hard Work keep it up and btw. if its important to u its not cheating if its Impossible otherwise
It’s unnecessarily hard. A sneak run where you’re allowed to choke people out and use non-lethal hacks (but not shoot them) would be hard enough on the highest difficulty without starting combat like a loon and then tanking ridiculous amounts of damage. It’s also not strictly a pacifist run, it’s a “let everyone else do the damage run.” Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely respect this challenge, and it was fun to watch, but I can’t imagine it was much fun to *play.*
13:44 there is also a scene where Johnny sees the doll outside the motel before v could possibly have known they were there, maybe johnny has something more going on
So I forgot to mention in the intro, that I also won't be doing non-lethal takedowns. Been getting a lot of comments about it, and wanted to clear things up. If I could do them this game wouldn't be a challenge, so no point in doing the run. hope that makes sense!

@@Dazza_Doonope, slot o matric from budget arms vending machine
The difference between non-lethal and pacifist is rarely acknowledged in these types of runs, good job.
Crazy how Panam freezes up in combat. They must have nerfed Panam's aggression or fire rate. Probably because of how powerful Overwatch is.
Yeah maybe 🤔
Overwatch - Meh ... useless, give me Skippy any day!
something like a sandevistan could’ve been useful here because while time is slowed, it slows down all your cooldowns too so you stay invis for much much longer
Especially with the 70% longer to see you
Maybe, but I wasn’t specked into reflexes. Also a lot of times I wanted to be in a combat state!
@@gustavsmg time slows for your enemies, not you, meaning the opposite , if you move in sandy, their detection will be much slower, to them its "what was that?" probably nothing !

Thank you Julia!
I feel like even a pacifist would finish off Adam Smasher
FYI if your a Corpo you can just walk in the Arasaka parade building if you persuade the guard on the far left.

@@nicovelardita8619 Well then that isn't allowed. Didn't know that though so that's interesting.
Johnny's memories have been modified, so you aren't actually killing anyone.
I’m stuck humming that combat theme where it’s like “ duh duh, duh duh duh duhhhhh”
I feel like we should consider the static discharge being used should be the guy getting struck by lightning for attacking a pacifist
Brought me back to Cyberpunk I finished the game. Thanks man!
Elden Ring still wants me to suffer though, not sure how much longer Cyberpunk will keep me.
Understandable, elden ring didn’t win GOTY for nothing!

W to my man Weyland, was rooting for him to get the Smasher and not die
Oh it’s already done…YAY didn’t know you did it..I love thes runs cause it’s always breaking the intention of the game
as a pacifist myself I can confirm that, as a workaround, I often bring my friends along to do violence for me
I just love the RWB Porsche, fits so well in the game...great video also!
Thank you! It’s kinda a dream to own one some day, I think there sick!

Adam Smashmouth gets me everytime, also DMZ is pretty Grindy but more fun than Tarkov imo
Yeah been thinking of streaming it but not sure yet 🤷🏻♂️
after that run, Weyland should be the one at the top of the Afterlife. bro literally took all of Arasaka +Adam 😂
Not only can you get out of combat in the oda fight, you can kill him with stealth takedowns

🤔 maybe

Johnny making people do things for him instead of him. Sounds like Johnny.

Waylon eating bullets for breakfast
Good thing you did this before they nerft invis
It would be fun to see a run where you can only use the money you made by trading johnny silverhand records that you find on the street
If you just sneak through the intro mission and activate the Jackie cutscene, all the guards will be incapacitated
I think you still have to do it to get him to though, and I was trying not to.
the rocket launcher arm with the 'sleep dart' would have been the easy way but i guess to easy... it would literally be more pacifist-ianic
Yeah I think it might be super easy, but who knows!
Weylands the coolest npc in this game hands down
Cool challenge keep up the good work.
