- In today's episode of VG Myths, we tackle a challenge run of the PS2 classic Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, trying to beat the game without collecting a single one of the game's most plentiful collectable: Precursor Orbs.

8:02 “As far as the world has been able to figure out, it’s impossible” the real gamechamp would say “Good thing we’re not IN the world” as it cuts to him on the international space station doing some ridiculous technique all just to not shoot a portal in Portal
j00st00s LMAO
j00st00s so true
I bet if there was a way to get a powercell in space that would actually give him the missing power cell in-game, he would do it. lol
Ya lol
Trying to beat level 13 or 14 of Splatoon 2 without shooting
It's amazing how well Jak 1 holds up.
Jonas Charif the movement, story, graphics, and world are all still so good to this day. It’s not exactly an underrated game but as far as platformers/collectathons go, this game still holds up as one of the best of them.
Except the everything is a glitch
I disagree. As someone who didn't play Jak and Daxter growing up and having played it recently, it's very clunky at points and the platforming is very awkward. Plus the hoverbike is like steering a boat
@@TheTjoconnor i think that's more of unfamiliarity with platformers................ Or you're on ps4/xbox1
Well hello personally I found the game to be great but I played it on PS4. After all it was a PlayStation 2 game originally... so what’s the problem with playing it on console? I actually got it free along with my preorder of a PS4 exclusive game (Uncharted The Lost Legacy) a couple years ago.
The nice part of having terrible memory is that I can binge watch this series over and over and enjoy it everytime :D
Same
I used to have (probably still have lying around somewhere) a scratched original PS2 version of this game. After the disc had been scratched, I was forced to avoid every precursor orb if I wanted to play the game. Every time I collected a precursor orb, the game completely froze for typically 4-5 minutes, but sometimes longer. One day I decided I'd try to play through the game like this. I didn't go for every power cell, but I got pretty far, and there were a lot of times where I was stumped on how to get past certain spots. Mid-way into my no-orbs playthrough of the game, the Jak & Daxter HD Collection came out, so I gave up.
Thank you for making this video. I thought this challenge was impossible, and it was interesting to see it be completed
Edit: Somehow missed all the people that have responded to this. It's not like my disc ONLY had issues with precursor orbs, and it's also not like EVERY single orb caused my game to freeze; some orbs would be fine when i occasionally accidentally picked them up. Certain areas were laggier than others and different ecos were laggy to pick up/equip/whatever term you want to use (especially vents iirc). I was also playing this on a fat ps3 that I often had issues with, so it could have been the console's fault partially. If my fat ps3 still works (its been unplugged and collecting dust ever since i replaced it with a super slim ps3) I'll make a video showcasing areas of the game next time I'm home/get the chance.
I don’t think this is real
@@conormartin3476 this is possible
@DiPpY ZiPpY 97
First, the OC said "freeze for 4-5 minutes", not "crash" , so it could be a near-infinite-loop rather than a system error...
I wouldn't be surprised that a damaged disc, by random chance, would do something really laggy when asked to play the sound effect for a collected orb or to render the orb counter on the screen.
The orb render would be my favorite choice as the problem would cease once the normally-few-seconds counter would stop being shown on screen
When I tried to start jak 2 before cleaning my disc, I had a strange effect
During the start menu cutscene, both the camera and the music would freeze every few seconds during a few seconds, while the zoomers in the background would continue moving as usual...
I had no idea the game could freeze both of those for loading, while still animating the city.
When playing Crash Nitro Kart, during ONE game session, the images shown during the level loading were modified : the lower-right corner was showing a zoom of the image... after restart, never happened in nearly one decade.
@Base Bass Forte me
Try that again.
Beat Jak and Daxter without fun?
IMPOSSIBLE.
Nathan W no just play it 10 million times and and then play it once more and it won’t be fun anymore
@@Stryker-wj4lo *Wrong*
Agreed, could never get sick of this game :)
Stryker 1205 jak and daxter has a lot of replayability
@@Stryker-wj4lo well yeah I played daxter Over 20 times when I was 8 And then I played only the fun parts until I stopped playing it entirely
4:44 this clip basically sums up this series.
“Since when did we start caring what the developers want us to do?” Said while walking through a wall.
The sentence “TO BE CONTINUED” in Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier was the biggest and most painful lie in my life of gaming.
Marcel Chołodecki is it a game and what platform is it pn
@@JackDDS It's the last Jak and Daxter game and it was for the PSP. And yes... it said "Jak And Daxter"; it wasn't like the other bad sequels, it was the true revival of Jak and Daxter, and it was worth it to play... but yeah, the odds of a sequel is like the odds of Sly 5 (and also Sly 5 not being a bad game like Sly 4 was; even the boss battles were bad)
I'll be the rooooundabout
ugh 100% lost fronteir felt like it was offbrand copyright ripoff jak and daxter. that game made me sick
@YGuy1 you can have a different developer work on IP without creating unpolished shit. i mean look at the call of duty franchise. say what you will about cod, but atleast its pretty much always cod, even though its had 4-5 different dev teams working on it.
also dont shit on jak-X that game was a great cart racer, with a decent narrative. it wasnt supposed to be a sequel to jak 3 or anything like that. its a spin off, let it be a spin off you dont have to take it so seriously.
one pound fishies... and five pound fishies
Steady boy... HERE COMES A BIG ONE!
AHAHAHAHAHA HARRR
If ya miss 20 pounds o' good fish, then im gonna TAKE me net back from ye!
I've always failed three times before I finally get it right.
Der are poisonous eels in this river...
Catch even one of them boogers, and you’ll POISON the whole darn catch!
Did you know Kevin Conroy voiced the fisherman?
Her: I'm looking for a man who's dedicated
Gamechamp: Sends a link to youtube channel with no context
I'm replying so GameChamp might see Can you do Beating Spiderman (Any one you can even wait for ps4 one :D) without using bed (Ps Sp2 is well nearly impossible Mysterios challenge I leave that up to you to find :D
Keelan Mcg without using bed? Please explain
Channel name: a man who’s dedicated
Ignaciux 20 makes sense
sleepless spiderman
I like that you mention and link to your sources for glitches and strategies. You didn't have to, but you did it anyway. Respect.
I was gonna say the same thing. It's so good seeing the integrity, and takes nothing away from how impressive his efforts were
I've been playing this game since I was 5 years old. It never fails to amaze me how many people still play this game and all the secrets they've discovered. The Debug mode was just found in May 2018. 17 years after the game came out. I love that there is still a community for this game. And I hope it lasts. Even the erotic fanfics. Hopefully we can get NaughtyDog to make Jak 4 for realz this time.
Agreed!
That’d be awesome!
There's a Debug Mode!?
That would be awsome
I agree with everything. Except the erotic fans. But other than that I agree with everything.
You seem to have this thing down... but i have the hardest challenge that you will EVER face...
are you ready?
Can you beat cuphead without firing?
Now i know what you are thinking, "wait, that's impossible!" but i assure you, with use of parrying, ex moves, supers and the purchased coffee / axe parry, it is completely POSSIBLE to complete cuphead without pressing the fire button ONCE .
Although it IS possible, it would be you're most difficult VG Myth YET. So i'll understand if you don't want to.
Good luck
Would it be harder than Splatoon with out the hero shot?
Yes. much harder
Wow.
^this
Dude, get him to see this, this is great-
Incidentally, in Gamechamp’s “Season 1 Ranked by Diffculty” video, he said that people have figured out how to collect the two missing power cells; the Gnawing Lurker one can be collected by crawling into it, and another bug lets you trigger the Precursor blockers in Snowy Mountain without the game registering that you touched the orbs. As such, it is possible to collect every single non-purchase Cell in the game without collecting a single orb.
I didn't know there was a bug that wouldn't let you get all them. I beat the game a couple times growing up and was always able to get them all
Jackson Billy No, you’re supposed to be forced to grab those orbs when you jump on the blockers, as you would normally, but that other video shows that specific movement lets you touch the blockers without collecting the orbs.
Now to learn how to rob the store!
4:37
When GC said _"at least by the dev-intended method",_ I started grinning like an idiot.
8:40 We actually found out how to get that cell without the orbs a day after this was uploaded LUL
Late reply but how??
@@RandoMan279 Basically, you can enter a state in which the game thinks you're dead but you can still move around and interact with certain elements, but it prevents you from being able to pick up any collectables (orbs, cells, flies, eco). This lets you easily press the buttons on the blockers without getting the orbs: ua-cam.com/video/A5829I3YAyg/v-deo.html
“But since when did we think of what the developers thought?” LOL
Ratchet and Clank without bolts
I think there are items you have to buy to complete the game, which requires collecting bolts. Though who knows, maybe he can glitch through shit to avoid it.
Bætnet maybe
its imposible!
mario 64 without coins
hahahaa fancy seeing you here
I did this game recently with my girlfriend (who had played during her youth) and I was surprised how good it feels to play :) truly a ps2 classic and one of best 3D platformers in history right next to the Marios, Raymans and Banjos
now do the challege moron or ur a hwimp ahjahgahah aucfbs
that "disorienting camera movement" warning got me thinking about just how damn nice a person Gamechamp is, god damn she gives me good vibes
Orbs? Where we’re going, we don’t need _orbs._
This and sly cooper was my childhood.
XFrostPlayz same it's my childhood too
Can you beat Crash Bandicoot without Breaking any boxes?
Toxic Pyro12 you cant go to the final level, which requires you to break every box in the game
Meh_Demon You mean the secret level or am i remebering wrong?
I know you can do the first level is Crash 2 boxless. You actually get a blue gem for doing it.
Toxic Pyro12
Doing the majority of the game is impossible because there's so many jump pads that are under boxes
Crash Bandicoot without breaking boxes is impossible, depending on what you consider "breaking boxes".
If you mean the box counter saying 0, then it's impossible because of the levels where you're chased (the bear, boulder, dino, etc all break boxes in their way), and in a level where you ride a bear, some tnt boxes are already activated. Crash Twinsanity could work though, since there are no box counters in that game.
“Do you see the problem?!”
Me: No I cAnT I Am LEgallY bLiND.
I thought completing the game without dying was an achievement... But this guy makes me look like a filthy casual
I subscribed just because i feel REALLY bad for the torture you go through. Thank you for your service.
Can you beat Dark Souls without dying?
Yes. It’s been done many times.
Not the first one, but 2 and (maybe) 3 certainly can.
no.
*Crying
Without healing
Every one of these video topics should be made into speedrun categories. They're brilliant.
I love this trilogy so much. It really had an impact on me when I was a kid.
Beat the Octo Expansion Without one of the following:
1. Main Weapons
2. Sub Weapons
3. Jumping
4. Turning into a Octo
Do whatever would be the most/least probable.
Also no pearl loans ;-)
Extra:
You can skip levels, but you can only beat each level with each weapon ONCE, so no grinding for CQ points.
With that extra part, the objective is the minimum amount of pearl loans.
least probable*
Kain Yusanagi Eh sure
EpicGamer425 i don’t think the main weapon one is possible so thats out of the question
Do option 4
You are an octopus not a squid
EpicGamer425 4. You're an Octoling, you don't turn into a squid, just beat the expansion normally with 4 and bam, you're done
I love this series! Even to that I don't recognize some games.
Jesus Christ, this was amazing. I'd never attempt this in my wildest dreams. This is damn near sadism
notforvideos Would you kindly not use Christ's Name in vain? It's sinful and offensive. Thank you.
OtterloopB Would you kindly not be a religious asshat in public. It's ridiculous and annoying. Thank you.
I speedruned this game it was easy i donnnnt think peps will agree but its my opinion
OtterloopB Not everyone agrees with you on what happens when you die and therefore choose not to follow the rules of the bible. You may feel like you are definitely in the right but nobody cares. You can’t save us all.
you haven't seen the rest of this channel, lol. this is nothing!
"Since we did we care about what the developers want us to?"
preach gamechamp.
Time to break video games once again.
Caitlin RC imagine the oxbox people attempting this
these are my favorite videos of yours, the skill alone makes this some of the best gaming content on youtube
Been doing this myself recently. Not going for every possible Power Cell but getting as many as I can. Never realized how fun this challenge could be.
You absolute madman. Always love your vids
god the nostalgia
marcin konik
Only real ones remember
as a casual player even i knew about the rising dark eco skip.
Dude you're seriously becoming one of my all time favorites on this site. Great video, and great commentary. Also bonus points for playing my favorite game of all time in a way I've never thought of playing.
The amount of dedication and work you put not only to the run, but to also the videos are inspiring
Next you should do:
Celeste - min dashes
Mario galaxy - no power ups
Mario odyssey - coinless
Btw I love this series
Are there any points in galaxy where star bits are necessary?
nope.
Chandler Kristoff you could avoid those by not pointing your Wii remote at the screen
Chandler Kristoff ohhh
RuinZ10 Gaming he already did super mario odyssey coinless if you didnt know
Guy: "It's impossible."
Me: Looks at the time bar. "You'll never get tired of fake-outs, Will you?"
11:46 you can get this cell orbless - speedrunners worked out that if you crawl into the cell jak's hitbox stays below the orb, just make sure you hold the crouch button through the entire cell grab cutscene :) - discovered this while looking into strats to potentially get back into the game
I love that you are so dedicated in your videos. I could probably do this very same thing, but give up at most of the orbs, but you always stretch the limits of the game!
Also, that Jak trilogy is my favorite game collection ever, so I loved this
Can you beat Crash Bandicoot without Spinning/Breaking any Boxes
Now I have two type of saves:
one with all Precursor Eggs collected
one without Precursor Eggs
Awesome! Every single VG myth in the series has been a thrill to watch, thanks Gc3000 :D
Every time I see or play this game I think, wow what a beauty this game is. The environment and the colours just invite you in, and it is a pleasant game to play. I wished we got more games like this. Jak 2/3 would've been better if they had more special zones and smaller Haven City/Wastelands :)
Gamechamp over here talking about needing an ultimate extreme way to get the nine lurkers cell when all you need to do is crouch
Precursor Orbs: Exist
Gamechamp: I’m gonna end their whole career.
This channel is one of my new favorites now; I love your enthusiasm!
Love this videos, wish to see more with some of the old 64 games :) like Legend of Zelda, Mario Cart, etc. but also just in general these videos are really cool to see. Love how creative and how much time goes into them to see what is possible. Keep up the amazing work!
well this a mildly interesting coincidence. Just couple of days ago I randomly decided to watch the 100% wr run for this game, by OutrageousJosh, then because he seemed like a chill dude I checked his stream, and also checked his orbless tutorial for fun, and now you upload this video
Chizz watch bonesaw’s 100% run at SGDQ 2016, it is amazing
Welcome to VG Myths!
Here, we do the dumbest things in the -smartest- dumbest ways possible!
_while also being extremely entertaining_
Channels like this truly deserve Patrions. Stuff like this takes time and dedication.
Jak and Daxter was one of the first games i ever played on Ps2. it will always hold a special place in my heart, and i’m so happy you did this challenge run. it’s such a great game, and i’m really happy you gave it this publicity. such a great video, man.
Question: Can you beat New Super Mario Bros. 2 without collecting any coins?
Impossible
The Juster no. Theres a part with the gold flower and blocks in the way and its to far the jump over the coins
-DERPE10- is it possible to wait until the coins despawn?
what about double ground pound with luigi? wont all the coins fall down and start to despawn by then? its how it worked in the wii version as I recall.
Yes.
Can you beat JoJo mugen without throwing one ora?
No way you watch this channel??
Justin Y. You're not funny anymore, give up
Captain Balcon He is still able to comment
Justin Y. Congrats on commenting on 2 new channels, now try DGR.
Captain Balcon He's not funny, he's godly.
These videos are excellent and, even thought i've never played these games or really care about them, it's always incredibly interesting to hear the strategies and exploits you use.
These videos are amazing and you must out soooooo much effort into them. Love it
I was really hoping this would be my “Banjo-Kazooie or Banjo-Tooie without using the Talon Trot” idea... I hope that’s next!
I'd want to do that on the Rare Replay version, and I don't have an Xbox One just yet. Maybe in the future~
Why specifically the Rare Replay version? I didn't realize there were glitches specific to that version.
Or maybe Banjo-Kazooie without Banjo? (no moves that use exclusively banjo; no rolls, punches, regular jumps, swimming on the surface of water, climbing, or even walking)
BetterThanYouXuD oh God... Spiral Mountain would be so annoying. You’d need to get around using only the Flap Flip and Feather Flap!
you can't even use feather flap because theres no way to use it out of a flap flip! You can get around using beak barge though
gg i love these bastard playthroughs. what next? can you beat mariocart without completing any races?
Dude that was legit! Good work
How funny that the blockers finally got figured out only two days after this video came out xD great video and thanks for the exposure for the speedrunning community!
You should do mario 64 jumpless. Pannenkoek has some videos showing what's possible. You only need to jump 20ish times in 120 star.
If you're a TAS, that is. A human would need a lot more A presses.
The 70 star run is humanly possible without any A presses
Can you beat Knack without making a Dunkey joke?
Aaron R. IMPOSSIBLE
KNACK 3 BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aaron R. Impossible
gotta get knack, knack to the past, samurai knack.
You mean KNACK 2 BABYYYYYYYYY
A few days ago I decided to play this game like this and I don't know how, but somehow I got most of the orbless power cells so far. However now I'm at the lava tube and I keep failing at the orb covered bridge right away. I try flying through the orbs but I keep grabbing them, and I'm afraid to go slowly because of the heat time limit. I'll keep trying, but I still somehow figured out most of those puzzles you showed. Playing this game orbless actually makes it a lot more fun. Great video!
I’m a little late to this, but I actually had an issue with the spider caves once upon a time with that specific group of orbs that you get from killing the last centipede. I died after killing it before getting the power cell and after the respawn the orbs were gone and only the power cell was there, it left my perfectionist child self frustrated as it meant I couldn’t 100% the game.
I love vg myths!!!
now beat any pokemon mystery dungeon game without using moves
it might be possible since there are blast seeds
but it's gonna be ridiculously hard when you can only use a weak attack and items
Let Me Check
Have fun against Dialga and Dark Matter!
i love these vg myths, plz keep them coming!
This is hands down my favorite game series ever
ooh yay Jak and Daxter!
Can you beat CAPTAIN TOAD TREASURE TRACKER without JUMPING?
Nope. Impossible.
😱 probably impossible
how!?!??!?! that would be impossible... XD
:/
Jesus christ, I didn't know the VG myth community was so sadistic.
These are some of the most interesting videos. Thank you.
“I’m more about finding the path of least resistance” oh is that so? I never knew this way was easier.
I've got a challenge for you: Can you beat New Super Mario Bros 2 without collecting any coins?
Yep
5:00 how in the hell did they figure that out.
Have you ever watched a Majora's Mask speedrun?
I was inspired by you, and figured out you can beat the first world of a hat in time without diving. After mafia town, there are many split paths letting you skip impossible ones. All you need to do is make use of sprint double jumping. Love your VG myths and would love if you figure out how many time peices you can get without diving.
Nice to see my techniques for the Forbbiden Temple and the Blue Rings in here.
can *YOU* beat Jak2 without shooting with any weapons ?
i honestly doubt it considering the first 2 bosses are pretty much airborne.
One-Eyed King If I recall there was a guy who did it on Jak 2 and 3. Im pretty sure he was also the guy who completed all the games one handed. If I find him ill leave his channel name
I don't think you can beat the Metal Kor without a gun...
Youre thinking of sixrock and six wouldn't touch jak II even if you paid him to do it, side note jak II can be done without shooting... in NG+ because then you can snag infinite dark eco for dark bomb spam which cheeses everything. The only reason it likely can't be done is Metal Kor.... but because im interested Ill put myself in the blender and bootup jak II again to see if I can cook something up.
The only boss fights in any% for jak II are Mars tomb - Praxis | Factory - Krew | Nest - Kor, but the more I think about it the more annoying praxis fight would be.
Genius, just about to say how did you manage getting to the Blue Sage cell without picking up a orb.
I used to love this game when I was a kid! Great nostalgia trip ^^
This is absolute insanity! I love it.
Let me guess. Ratchet and Clank is next? Try doing one of the Kirby’s dream land games without animal buddies, or a KIRBY game without stars
*This is ungodly,.*
how many tries did it take you to finish the game?
I like how when you're listing off names one of them is "Pokemon Go to the Gamechamp subscribe button" lmfao. Very very clever my friend ;) Fantastic stuff!
Almost 200k congrats :)
Alright I got a challenge for you that will possibly top any stupid thing you've done with a game, what is the MAXIMUM number of Nuralmods you can get in Pray 2017 INCLUDING mods you can craft, so this run will require you not to fabricate ANYTHING except mods and to spend your eairly mods wisely to get as many materials as possible
Someone call Bonesaw
The Clever Gamer "I've gotchu for three minutes! Three minutes of play time"
This was awesome, what a way to breathe new life into this game haha
"stay fuzzy" is alarmingly similar to what I tell my friends (stay fluffy) and I love that
Can you beat clustertruck without jumping? (Or sprinting, what ever works)
TweekPark it’s double but hard as hell!
Can you beat cluster truck, without touching a truck?
Can you beat Enter the Gungeon without rolling?
Kled's Beard Ooooof
Kled's Beard yes if your are lucky and get bloodied scarf you can just teleport
dark souls without rolling
This run was fucking brilliant. I thought initially this was just some clickbait nonsense, but I'm legit impressed. This was creative as hell. Earned a sub from me.
Thanks dude, i hope you get many games👏
0:08 In Super Mario Galaxy, you play as Mario, on a quest to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser while retrieving Power Stars scattered through space. One of the game's key mechanics is the Spin Jump, where the player shakes the Wii remote after jumping to make Mario gain extra vertical height. But, let's be real, a double jump in a Mario game is WAY too OP. So today, I ask myself, can you beat SUPER MARIO GALAXY without using the spin jump?
Would you be able to spin on the ground?
That's a lotta car keys
I can tell that a lot of effort went into this!
That game hack in the underwater city was amazing dude
