Can You Beat GRIME With Only Consumables?

  • I have a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career.
    If you put firebombs in your game, I WILL find you. And I will burn your world to the ground.
    GRIME is very quickly becoming my favorite metroidvania. If you haven't tried it out, I would highly recommend it - the (free) new DLCs have breathed even more life into this game.
    GRIME has several consumables. But I have no idea what they do, how they work, or if they're even any good. Several of them are firebomb-type weapons though.
    You know what we have to do.
    Can you beat Grime with only consumables, and without parrying? Time to find out.

    Big thanks to ‪@demajen‬ for their beautiful maps. Couldn't have found all the bosses/secrets I needed to make this run a reality without them.
    Demajen has a HUGE catalog of maps for other metroidvanias - give them a look, and maybe buy them a coffee for their efforts : ko-fi.com/demajen

    Bowdaggers were what I beat my first run with. They're amazing, and paired with the buffs that refill stamina and having high resonance , I parried and zoomed my way through it. The most impressive run I've seen though, was lantern only. It basically ran through bosses like you did with DS scythes

  • @CSmyth-
    @CSmyth- 11 місяців тому

    I have a suggestion if you ever encounter a similar situation where you need to force unlimited consumables: Rather than giving 999, or making them free to purchase, or having them restock... How about you have to collect/purchase them as normal, but if you hit an enemy, the game registers that damage and "refunds" the consumable? That way you're still in danger of running out if you only have 3 knives and you happen to miss with all of them -- But your consistency is rewarded and keeps the run alive.

    Certain enemies with grey health or a white glow can’t be absorbed, only repelled. Repelling doesn’t do damage. (This would’ve trivialized so much of this challenge) Also it’s great to see you play Grime again! (Also you called Nerveroot Nervepass and I don’t blame you.)

    Man, I forgot how good Grime was. Thanks for the video and reminder, I really enjoyed it.
    I've been doing Blasphemous, and it just doesn't feel as good. It's like Grime succeeds in what Blasphemous tries to do in terms of story, atmosphere, and gameplay. There's more nuance to the religious fanaticism, more beauty and bittersweet moments found in the midst of horror, a more unique take on the subject matter, and a much smoother experience overall.

    When it comes to stuff like cheating consumables, I alaays was add in some made up sidequest or checklist I have to complete to unlock an "infinite merchant" (cheating in the item). It could be like I have to gather 10 of said consumable and trade them with a specific merchant to unlock unlimted stock. Sometimes I'll even throw in some of my own personal lore just to spice it up.

You can land on the very edge of the platform and dash through, making that kill avoidable. It doesn't change anything but I thought I'd let you know

    Any chance we'll see a Remnant 2 consumables only run at some point? I know it'll probably be hell, (especially since scrap can be a pain to come by and you'll need a lot), but it'd be interesting to try. Especially since you can grab the Alchemist class right from the beginning if you start in the right area, (or at game start if you found it on another character), and use that to increase the duration of buffs. You could also stack it with medic, giving you a ton of survivability, and both classes have a passive buff to all damage. I haven't tested that, but it might work to increase the damage of grenades.

    @seangambone8534 Рік тому

    Our pursuits lead us in strange and often destructive paths. Our ways are clouded, obstructed, and seemingly endless. Bleak darkness seems to be the only outcome.
    Is the fire our way out? Or does it threaten to engulf the unknown in an eternal swathe of ash, consuming yourself and leaving nothing left?
    Perhaps the stick is your guide, but if it breaks? Or if you strike a friend, turning them foe? Or if it bludgeon a fragile threshold, making the journey hopeless and the quest forever lost?
    What is the true answer? The destined design, the way that will bring us to the ultimate goal? And what is that goal in our struggle? The penultimate answer to all things.
    Perhaps it is nothingness, and we are doomed.
    Perhaps it is a light incomprehensible to mankind or whatever state of being we take hold.
    It is a fruitless task to ask and do nothing.
    Take up the firebomb. The way could be treacherous.
    Take up the stick. The way could be hard on two legs alone.
    Sally forth.
