The last quarter is my favourite and really fits into 3 waves:
Wave 1: "Oh God, is this Girl Power?"
Wave 2: Undeserved Confidence
Wave 3: "Panic. They have specials now."
i just spent 3 hours on this (2/3 stuck on this quarter lol) and it went like this for me:
Wave 1: ok just dont lose my shield to the lame roller ai
Wave 2: stop spamming grenades please
Wave 3: i am in constant torture and on the brink of tears
I found wave 3 easier when you stayed your ground instead of run around.
Honestly, the last quarter is what made me give up on this stage. I feel like it's just luck based to get through.
@@djoshawott2850
Just be patient, camp in your ink and aasassinate them if they get close.
But you can go aggressively, when the special cans spawn. Kinda.
Wave 3, abuse the fact that they'll pop specials at the sight of smallfry or bomb
Fun fact, max level smallfry is very good for areas 3 and 4. I’m glad he’s not just fighting fodder for this

i know he's helpful but for the LIFE of me i cannot find the last sardine
@@bag2359 clear out all the blinking green spots on your map, thats where the hidden stuff like Sardinium is.
@@cammydwhammy i'll see if it works
THERE'S A FOURTH ONE!?
Imagine if the Splatoon devs decided to make a deal with the devil and didn’t give any checkpoints in After Alterna
it's the guy
There should be an achievement/title just for doing it without using checkpoints.
Honestly, I would have preferred that. It was pretty easy compared to the absolute horror that is inner agent 3. Without giving checkpoints the badge and title would be a lot more elusive and mean something.
You guys in the replies of this comment are masochists.

The fact that he didn’t immediately say “flying worst class” shows how stressful this damn level is
Isn't that the name of a level
@@23bruh1 Yes English is my only language
@@PhantomOfficial07 it’s a running joke, he saw the name of that level and just kept saying it after bc of how stupid the pun was lol
@@silva_jay1424 Okay thank you
you’re so lucky for not knowing the pain of splatting that last target a millisecond too late and having the last rail spawn just as you hit the water slightly below it. it happened to me twice.
Lmao same
Me too
Happened to me like 3 or 4 times, quite the infuriating situation
@@ѕку-й9ш it happened to me early on and the fury had me reeling until it happened the second time and i had to lay down for a while
Damn y’all don’t have the pain I did doing it with no upgraded gear 💀
Marie: A backwards squid roll could help!
Alpharad: Imma pretend I didn't hear that
he tried
@@Kayso789 He goddamn flopped to the side, lmao. He was entirely panicking and not paying attention.
He did a content throw
ypu forget that alpharad is alergic to reading
Alpharad does not care about any story in any game
I remember beginning to cry once I saw the launch pad take me not only to a new section, but one WITH TARGETS ON RAILS.
If nobody’s every played Octo Expansion, there’s a level where you have to use the Bamboozler to pop 30 crates on rails and it’s torture.
I thought I was getting to the goal, but I was only getting PTSD.
Yeah...I feel that. I HATE all the shoot-on-rail levels because of Octo Expansion.
Not to mention the other painful rail level in this game (tri-stringer one wasn't the worst but the precise bamboozler one made me happy to have burst bomb)
I'm awful with chargers. I question how I even 100%ed Octo Expansion.
@@ED-gw9rg agreed
Literally Bamboozler is my most hated weapon because of that stage
Splatoon 3’s main story just felt like the perfect level of difficulty, but I’m glad they added a Champion’s road style level for the experts, too.
If the DLC isn't courses that are all as difficult as After Alterna, I will be slightly sad.
i will be overjoyed. i want my brainless baby levels pretty please
@@sltrskid octo expansion was still pretty hard
@@ninlaw9810 you could skip most of the hardest stuff though, much like in 3's campaign (even if that wasn't very hard at all)
NO I CANNOT HAVE MY GAME CRASH AT THE FINAL PART AGAIN
octo expansion did just do it well. challenging to varying degrees, and not all stages are necessary to beat it. that way some of the extremely difficult ones are optional (fuck you girl power station).
It’s absolutely the tilting that makes it so tough.
I did my run in shorter bursts and coming in fresh helped a ton.
i did my first run up until the backward squidroll blind jump, said "fuck this" then did it in 1 session the next day lol
@@flophawk Same, I just did it in two long sessions, the first one killed my brain because I just couldn't notice the row of balloons halfway through the third phase, but the second time I friggin' BREEZED through the whole level
Maybe the real Champion's Road was the friends we made along the way
YOOO it's you
@Top Trunks yes
Maybe so
Never
Shut up
The first few parts felt difficult but not unfair. That last part tho... Jesus. And people thought Girl Power Station was bad
I got the last part first try, but I had all the updates. I tried the kettle without ANY updates and aborted it at the last part after 2 1/2 hours.
- No ink resistens, you are stuck on every pixel of enemy ink.
- Short and slow shoting weapon, neither paint ability nor kill power (the missing range alone let you suffer at the second part, took me 1 hour alone).
- And no subs that can realy help you out. Buddy is to weak and not help painting.
After 4 hours of trying I decided to rather suffer in multiplayer. With no updates it's "almost" imposible and with all updates it is easier as Girl Power Station. At least for me. 🤷
I was able to beat the fight on my second try, although it probably helped that I had finally beaten IA3 the weekend prior
Girl power is worse imo
I passed this one only after a few deaths,
It’s much easier when not also defending something
I actually think it's easier than Girl Power, no orb means you can take your time with it.
The rail area is unfair, try to change my mind
I was sick while trying to finish this level and I’m not sure what happened, but I ended up dying like 30-50 times up until I hit the Octarian waves match. Fight or flight instinct must’ve gone insane because I cleared them first try and finally got to sleep after clearing the stage. Thought it was a literal fever dream until the next day’s snapshot library browsing.
I had a total count of 65-66 deaths, almost thirty of them was from the last bit.
10:25 this made me laugh so fucking hard for *no reason* feels like his last video with that same punchline made it funnier and funnier each time
I accidentally skipped past it, thank you for letting me know we're still flying worst class.
when I watched the vods, every time that joke popped up it was even funnier than last time
it was the worst class livestream I’ve ever seen
I was so waiting for it.
The worst class pun was honestly really funny
“it will only take 20 minutes” -chat convincing alpha to do the secret level after stream
This was so fun to watch live! Can’t wait to see alpha fly a reasonable distance from the sun today :)

@@dappleofthedualies it’s a bot. just ignore it
Parker is your phone dead
It's mom
4:58 is so valid, like you’re out the gate not knowing what to expect so you’re vigilant but once you know what’s up you start getting sloppy and it’s like this stage KNOWS that’s what’ll happen and it punishes you for it it. it’s also knowing you’re getting sent back to the start, not having gotten that first checkpoint like “well, there goes my progress.”
2:44
Marie: do a backwards squid roll to make it onto the next platform!
Alpha: *just slides off*
I thought it was really neat how in the last arena fight the first was was main weapons only, then second wave included subs, then third wave chucks in specials for each weapon type
the first actually has the hockey puck sub the second has auto bombs and the last has regular bombs
@@ancientcheesegod guess I beat the first wave too quickly to notice oops
I love your PFP, reminds me of quagsire, love that guy
man, his reaction to the last bit with "This is an arena" did not trigger the same fear my brain did.
I had flippin girl power station flashbacks.
Part 1 of After Alterna is definitely the hardest with you traveling across a large map with no checkpoints is evil, all the rest was so much easier
If you dont have max little buddy like me the last part is the worst
@@ancientcheesegod Even with that it's still really brutal
@@ancientcheesegod at least the last is just “current objective: survive” instead of “oh fuck I fell of again fml”
That last part with the moving platforms is frustrating
@@ancientcheesegod for the last part, camp a corner and utilise walls for protection against jet pack. I didn’t use little buddy much on my completed run.
Splatoon 3 really said “Nah let’s make children cry.”
: D
More like flying worse class am I right?
isn't that what the original champion's road did too
splatoon statistically has an older audience than mario lol
I spent 3 hours trying to beat this level, got to the last checkpoint, then lost all my progress to a random error
@@internetguy7319 what
The ending perfectly captured the feeling everyone had after beating this level.
I love how you showed Stormy Ascent from Crash Bandicoot 1 in the ultra hard levels clips. Getting the platinum relic of that level was hell on earth.
I gotta say, this level is brutal, but by far the most fun level in the entire series. Even the unfairly difficult parts were a blast in my opinion, and finishing the level for the first time is the greatest feeling ever
Your opinion might change if you do it with no leveled up gear
The octoling bit nearly made me snap my switch in half
These frequent uploads are amazing and there surprisingly not that rushed for how frequently they are. Honestly this just feels like a dream come true but I just hope alpha doesn’t burn him self out just keep up the great work
I AM THE BEEST YOUUTUBER YOU'RE ALL TRAASH COMPARED TO ME IM THE BEEST🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
It’s easier to put out these frequent uploads since they’re mostly just livestream highlights
What I like about the last section is that they literally show you the end from the checkpoint. It gives you a boost of "I can do this" energy before destroying your pride. It isn't awful, but the amount of ways, even in the first wave, that things can go wrong with over-confidence cannot be understated. It's hard to keep enough of your ink around to allow for easy mobility. Or to dodge. Not to mention a few specials, the Trizooka and Jetpack in particular, tend to get you killed when trying to use them here.
In fact I technically beat wave 3 twice. The first time however ended in tragedy when the last Octoling and I splatted each other at the same time.
I would've absolutely won if my game didn't crash
@@darkmatter1721 Honestly after failing several times I simply stopped for the night. Took a break to come back with a refreshed state of mind. For Zone 4 that is. I didn't close the game and just put the switch into sleep mode.
So I started from the Octoling fight. A few tries later and success was mine.
I'm not even joking...doing this level set gave me a actual headache,but I powered through the physical and mental pain of all this to get...bear ear headband...worth it👌✨
It's... not that hard
Hey, you get "Alternan/World Champ" as a title set too! (And the most spoilery badge in the game which I feel too bad to use...)
@@giniesyvae9040 :0 that hurts my self esteem
I just put the headband on the moai head in my locker as a trophy.
I spent a total of three days on After Alterna. I am not a gamer(tm), I am a casual RPG gamer who plays for story. Three days of my life well spent on getting the juicy lore I so desired.
I probably took longer to beat this kettle than you did. It took me almost 2 days to finish. Honestly, I expected the goal to be an abandoned room or lab and we get to see a tape how Mr Grizz became who he is now. But at least we get an Alterna log explaining Mr Grizz’s origin.
god, i love alpharad’s vids, i’m always so happy to see a vid from him
I AM THE BEEST YOUUTUBER YOU'RE ALL TRAASH COMPARED TO ME IM THE BEEST🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
agreed
The best part about this is that chat had to convince him to do this level by saying that it would only take 30 minutes. it ended up being an hour and a half
Honestly, after fighting Inner Agent 3, the final gauntlet being nothing but a difficult level was a relief. I sold my soul and all I got for it was a golden toothpick.
I got the first part first try and then spent 30 minutes to an hour on the grind rail section. Always interesting to see different perspectives
I was so upset when I found out that the ink, unlike the inklings, is apparently waterproof.
Not always, there was a level similar to this in the hero mode and my ink kept being washed by the water
Caught this live, very enjoyable to listen to you suffering through this hell of a level. Well done.
Man, seeing how easily you nailed Girl Power's Revenge after spending multiple hours banging my head against that wall was simultaneously cathartic but also kind of infuriating.
5:28 God damn, I never thought to just stay above in safety and ink it all. I even knew the ink stayed on, I just kept jumping from one to the next until it felt safe enough to move on, and the first part was BY FAR the hardest part for me (although I did have to quit out from the second part, because I never upgraded my Hero Shot and found that part insufferable without said upgrades).
True, I think the rail part was easily the worst, it feels luck based.
The shot RNG of the Splattershot mixed with the low fire rate of the no upgrade hero shot means that if your gun decides to screw you over and miss shots, you'll lose.
This means that the level is basically luck based, since even if you aim perfectly every time, you will still miss some shots, so you have to overcompensate for this and sometimes it'll take an extra shot to take down a target.
@@babywizard9027 Pretty much exactly this, yes. Between that and the first section having zero checkpoints for no real reason, I was prepared to hate this level, but then when I finally got past those two parts, the third and fourth sections went smoothly and were, dare I say it, fun.
It took me way more than 25 deaths, but I remember the first time I made into the octazons and because I lost my shield way early, I decided to restart "the section".
My surprise was that the "Start over" wasn't just for the section.
I looked at the final octoling area of the level from a distance and I just immediately thought
"oh shit this looks like Girl power station from the octo expansion"
and I hate how right i was
Marie: a backwards squid roll will do just fine
Alpharad: let me just jump off
This was probably my favorite VOD ever

The full 9 hour stream or just the vid of this part
@@thestupidfuncrisallstodios470 just this level
@@Ellicess ah I just watch the hole 9 hour stream and not worth it I didn't get any sleep
A really difficult final level is always so cool
Section 1: This was tough the first few times. It took me a while with trial and error to get through
Section 2: People said that this was a nightmare. I beat it first try.
Section 3: Easiest section for me. Smallfry is pretty good at diverting attention.
Section 4: If you thought fighting a hyper Agent 3 that is somehow always 3 steps ahead of you was tough, this is pretty much on the same level, especially Wave 3 when most of the walls to keep you safe from the barrage of specials are removed. A fully upgraded Smallfry really helps in this section, especially since he can instakill the Octolings.
I fucking love seeing alpha posting consistently now that he’s not burnt out and mentally recovered, some of the most entertaining content on UA-cam always look forward to his videos 🤙🏼🎉
It seems like Alpharad always just prefers to have fun, try his best, and lose, instead of grind his heart out, perfect his runs, and not have fun.
And I think that’s a really good and healthy mindset to have.
As a former stick player the platforms and rails were EZ, but Girl Power 2 was hell. Had to turn on motion controls PERMANENTLY and learn in shark infested waters for that last fight.
Came out a World Champion, feel good/bad man
With how simple all the platform designs are, I'd love to see a "splatoon maker" where people could make their own campaign levels.
there's a few decent mods that make custom campagins for splatoon 2, a few people have done videos on youtube for them
jaymoji played rainbow expansion (octo expansion mod)
I attempted this course over 20 times and I legit was on the verge of tears when it came to final stage. It took me about 8 tries to finish the third stage.
Seeing alpha miss the first checkpoint twice purely out of impatience/panic was painful
Fun fact: failboat referred to that snowball
Effect as the “super meatboy clause” where the more u want to get to the spot you failed at the more you fail at the easy stuff
“It can’t be… THAT hard…” oh- oh no you sweet summer child… you are very mistaken..
I didn’t see any spoilers for this level so I’m very proud of myself for beating it a minute or so before alpha on my first try. I didn’t use any specials except for the splash down because the splashdown felt the most useful
This level was HELL for me, especially the rail section and the final part.
The last quarter was definitely the most difficult. I grinded it so much that I found out that when the specials cycle to zipcaster, there is armor on the pillars for you to grab.
I actually didn't know that, though I did memorize every spawn location
@@QuokkaWaka that would be kinda easy tho, considering it's just back and forth
Your timing is immaculate. I just finished your main Splatoon 3 video.
Just a tip for the last part. If you get to the second part of the fight you can kill all but one and pick up the canned specials if you pick up enough to get to zipcaster two armors spawn. You can then kill the last octoling and have better odds at the last part.
4 episodes of Alpha in less than two weeks this is a dub
2:45
Marie: Uh oh! Backwards squid roll time!
Alpharad: *jumps off like a boss*
Marie: Am I a joke to you
I wish more games had a champions road like level
"A squid roll back might help you"
*Slowly moves to the right*
Yeah I love these kinds of levels but between darker side and this I have not beaten a single one of them! Got pretty far for only getting the game a few days ago tho...I think...
Edit: yeah I never got pastthe part at 3:40 , been there like 4 or 5 times, didn't know there might be a Checkpoint there tho! 5:50 happened to me too!
It hurts my soul seeing someone do this with only 25 deaths. This took me an entire day to complete and probably well over 100 deaths. Stages 2 and 4 took me ages to complete. GG Alpharad.
Pog, new video!
fun fact squid surge heavily reduces the speed which you fall on a wall, you can use it on the platforms to make it easier.
Another thing is that splatter bombing the wall before climbing it in the last part of the first area can really save you
Claim your “here within an hour” ticket right here❤️
Dang bro I didn’t know you were a spambot. L + ratio + you fell off + unsubscribed.
ok!
tbh i like having a difficult final boss AND a really really difficult final level
if the final boss doesn't take you at least a few tries, it's not gonna be that rewarding to beat it
then the true final level can be for anyone who wants to squeeze out the last drops of fun from their game
Alternatively, we can do it like Kirby (And Odyssey, though granted that TFB wasn't that hard) and have a True Final Boss
What I like about this collection of 4 levels, is that it’s frustrating, but it’s not unfair. Level 1 was easy, level 2 was frustrating, level 3 was easy again, and then level 4 made me want to throw my controller. I died less than 5 times for levels 1 & 3, and less than 10 times for levels 2 & 4, so it wasn’t the hardest thing in the world
2:40 Marie: Hey, try a squid roll
Jacob: I'm going to hold down right and pray
I like watching him in the first section not pre-ink before jumps, not killing enemies before he jumps over there, not hiding in his ink to recover health faster... And then just jumping RIGHT INTO the rotating brick walls. Confident he could handle it on the fly? Hubris.
That final part is something else
I have a tip for the octoling level, (I already beat it) I recommend to charge up your special at the start. You should also try to keep your armor there as long as possible. When there is 2 or 1 octolings left charge into them. Also try to kill/break the wave breakers, rollers, and tenta missiles.
14:17 It seems that Alpharad knows a lot about what sunlight feels like, I wonder why.🤔
If you mastered motion control this wouldn’t be a problem.
7:55 Nintendo loves that because that's the level they can put all the pain into and only pros can get to it and complete it.
The section with the octolings literally had me crying and stomping on the ground. It was like 3 AM and I was NOT happy
Watching jacob get frustrated in the first area was hilarious knowing the hell that came later
Finally beat it a bit after this came out. I finally beat a Champions' road/darker side style level and I'm so happy!
Marie: A backwards squid roll might help you
Alpharad: *Slide to the right ♫*
Jacob must be a *REALLY GOOD* Splatoon player if he was able to be this level! He could definitely go pro in a Japanese tournament!
When I unlocked the special level, I did a practice round just to learn the first area. When I sat down to actually beat the full thing, it took me ~5 hours~ and 3 of them were just spent in the arena. It felt very rewarding to beat it.
helpful tip for the octarian fight!! Throw Lil Buddy like everywhere, he can kill the octarians and he also can and will distract them for you!! I beat Aftet Alterna on my lil siblings game and Lil Buddy carried the entire run 😂
... I don't actually play Splatoon, so can someone explain to me why he's in such a rush? Is there a time limit on the level? A limit to how much paint he can spew? When he was riding the rails, could he have stayed in shooting form the whole time instead of turning into a squid every 5 seconds to better shoot at the targets?
Maybe I'm just not understanding something, because when he mentioned the hardest level I was expecting something like dark souls, where it's common to die hundreds of times each attempt!
it's just a super long level that requires you to master all the mechanics the game showed in it's story. and while alpharad has played all the levels. i doubt he read the squid sister dialog that gives you more info on its mechanics. like how on ink rails your always the same speed either in squid form or human form with the only difference being ink form regenerates ink being faster. it's just the way he plays
I had to relearn motion specifically for the ballon section. I got close, almost beat it, but my skill issue was too large.
After alterna can break a man's mental stability if you die enough times on this level alone, especially the balloon target popping part. I hated that part.
This reminds you so much of Alpharad 2018 specially lightlocke since he started good, got confident and failed. Then kept on losing
The fun part about After Alterna is it is ez when u finish beating it for the first time and then you know what to do and grind for power eggs
"A backward Squid roll might drop you riiight onto the next platform..."
"Or I could just kill myself."
"A backwards squid surge might help!" "No, I don't really feel like it."
Man, I miss this kinda casual lets play style content from Alpharad a lot so it's great to see it
I like how that level is basically reverse inner agent 3.
Inner agent 3:
Short, but HARD AS ALL HELL
After Alterna:
Not that hard, just long with very little checkpoints
If he died 3,420 times as the thumbnail suggests, that means he would have to spend at least 379,953 power eggs to complete the level.
379,620 for all deaths plus an additional 333 for the winning life.
I like this, it's like a mixture of kaizo platforming and stealth
Really thought he was gonna first try the 4th section for a second. Anyway, funny seeing how much experiences vary, I found the 1st section way easier than the 2nd.
2:26 when you transition to the other part or any of these moving parts in the section hold is squid surge you can move left to right up and down while holding B
2:45 Do a backwards squid roll!
>Swim off to the right, got it.
Things were going pretty swimmingly for me in the first three sections, with roughly 10 deaths spread across them, but the Octarian section absolutely killed me. I think the final section alone added an extra 30 deaths to my final count, and it was the hardest I've raged at a game in years.
The area where you need to ride in squid form a cement block that moves. You can use the charge jump to stay in place and only need minimal movement to stay in place. Then just look down while the block is moving in the second part to easily land on the platform. You move/sink very slow while having the jump charged, and no need to jump if you let go of the button that keep you in squid form. The sniper part can be less stressful by just baiting out the shots so you can jump in peace.
The balloon sub level was more annoying than the first sub level for me.
My game crashed on the final part of the entire map so I had to redo everything :(
I died so much on the last part, and finished on 20min eventually ^^
My only bragging right is that I beat the final phase first try, but you getting all the balloons first try at 8:22 is way more impressive, I kept missing those on my attempta
