So, I guess Lemon didn't know the giant spider has a unique grenade option? When you knock it down you can walk up to it, and if you have grenade in your inventory you get a prompt to throw it in its mouth. Think it takes 3 to kill doing that.
@@daponagegoogenburg807 That cutscene where you see it laying on the platform and sort of snarling, opening it's mouth but not lifting itself up, that's when you can chuck a grenade in there, you get a lot of nades on that mission for that exact reason.
I feel like when Mr. Lemon asks Chris for his thoughts hes not actually interested in Chris' opinions on the matter at hand, he's just checking to make sure Chris still has at least one functioning neuron left
@@TheRedMage01 And back when you didn't have every guide imaginable telling you every trick imaginable, you just learned about it either through playing, or someone else playing the game mentioning it whilst chatting about it. Tbh the 2-1 Demo was excellent, I spent so much time running away from the Chainsaw Majini.
iirc the other big use for Acid Rounds against Lickers (btw Acid Rounds have been super effective against lickers across the franchise) is also how it causes them to recoil. Since it sends them flying it has high odds of leaving them on their back, where you can instantly kill them with a quick time prompt if you approach them.
love that the crocodiles are only attracted to Chris, making it seem like Sheva doesn't have enough meat on her bones. (yes i know if you play as Sheva they target Sheva, but let me have this one)
You act as if it got boring, but the "oh there it is, oh we have one, oh if only- oh theres one" is one of my favourite jokes for plotpoints, thank GOD that the enemies were so polite to make everything difficult apart from highly sensitive equipment of doom
Pretty sure after you started and picked up the first pistol, it made a save and you could have "restarted from checkpoint" and it would have put you in the shop menu where you could have sold Sheva's (and your) pistol for extra inventory space.
There are not just 14 of us, I swear. We may come in parties of 4, but soon, it will be 100 hunters Chris being low on Freon because he is a stacked fridge definitely worth every chuckle 😂😂😂
"Just like Monster Hunter, your little buddies can knock a monster down to 1 HP, but you have to be the one to land the killing blow." This truly is a V from DMC5 moment.
10:04 quick history fact: If the game took place in Vietnam it would be heavily accurate for there to be explosives in the fruit as it was a great way to not only sneak them around but also they were great traps. You were more likely to be killed by a pineapple than you were a mine.
28:21 i don't know if you know this, but when he's stunned you can run up and do a prompt that will toss a grenade in his mouth (if you have them), doing a LOT of damage, exposing a weakspot and fitting within your ruleset
Irving gloating about how big and cool he was before the transformation really got off the ground was a bold strategy. I mean, it worked out; he turned into a monster but he was definitely throwing shade before he knew what kind of Frankenstein he would be
I was super surprised to see this game again. I know a lot of people dumped on it but it has too many memories playing this game that it's a personal favorite.
10:40 you can actually bank a grenade off of a sign on the other apartment building so that it destroys the padlock on the ground floor so you can skip the splitting up section.
@@yungruuku i may be explaining it wrong but it's affected in this case cause it's what's actively happening vs what has happened if that makes sense.
@@pandosham Ahhhh, affect is a verb and effect is a noun. That makes sense, thank you. I thought you were right but then I was thinking about pokemon and how the text is "It's super effective!" but thats because its the result of a move being used. thank you my good person.
"Resident Evil is just fun campy horror" (cut to guy screaming while on fire and crucified) "......usually" -Lemon I fucking DIED laughing and spit soda all over myself 😂
I cant BELIEVE you said nothing about weskers joke in the fight with Jill, a joke that has laid dormant for 10+ years.... ""Your future "hinges" upon this fight"" as he kicks you through a door with hinges on it come on comedy gold
I can’t tell if I just haven’t watched this channel in a while, or if Lemon was feeling extra snarky when he wrote this episode, but either way, I love it.
In honor of the Monster Hunter references, and your crossbow runs, can you beat Monster Hunter World, or Monster Hunter Rise, while only using the Bow's Dragon Piercer attack?
Okay, so you mentioned upgrading weapons, but I don't remember any explosive weapons being upgradable in this game. So you didn't really mess that up at all. On another note, though, you CAN use your regular rocket launcher on Irving. Considering all the situations where you do have to use guns, though, it doesn't really change anything significant. Really fun video, love getting to see someone use the grenade launcher to get through the later part of the game.
My main critique of the run is that Chris doesn't look like he fell out of a mad max film and that Sheva doesn't appear to be an extra on an Austin Powers set.
I always love the commentary about the game. As someone who played it way back it's like a dish of nostalgia and satire served by a great chef. Also, I totally forgot that some of these bosses even existed, I guess it's time to play it again.
RE5 is a brilliant co-op game, and having done some of my insane challenges like a Professional run with only the starting handgun, I would have absolutely played this explosives run with you. You also can just wait out the first enemies, then as soon as the gate gets broken, just run around until a cutscene saves you.
I feel like the Africa controversy really lead to the fun goofiness of a coop resident evil were missed. Ai Sheva is a muppet but having an ally is actually really fun
It absolutely is, on playthrough number 7 or so. C&P have a grenade launcher. Jake and Sherri have one too, as an alt fire. Ada has one. It has been a while, but I think only Leon and Helena do not have access to an infinite skill grenade.
@andrewwaldschmitt4757 yeah it's been forever since I played it, I remember having access to explosives, just don't think there's enough access to them considering the bigger horde sizes in 6 compared to 4 and 5.
The recurring refrigerator jokes and “Chris, your thoughts?” were absolutely hilarious. Do more of these goofy old school games! This era is a treasure trove of corniness.
I can't lie, im an absolute sucker for souls content, however the flavor, fun, and fireballs you bring to all the games you play makes each excursion a blast!
Lemon is the best challenge run youtuber on this platform, I discovered his channel a year ago and have been watching him ever since, I hope he continues this channel to see where it will go.
Pro Re5 tip, you can always pause the game and press "restart" to go back to your most recent checkpoint in the invy/shop menu with zero penalties. So the start of the run could have been cleaned up by selling your weapons after getting your guns at the start so Sheva couldn't use a gun if you wanted. Although she still potentially could have melee'd with a knife so take your pick there really. 10:49 - You can actually skip this entire sequence by throwing a grenade and bouncing off the big ANIMAL HEALTH sign which blocks the lock off the door :)
I think what's happening is he's trying to duck so the rockets miss, otherwise they'd have blown up right in his face instead of after going into the lava. Though, from that angle it really does look like the rockets just vaporize his head
My favorite part of this was when Lemon said, "Turn of the do hickeys, so we can get through, easy stuff.... Or it would be, if someone wasn't getting their head chopped off by a chainsaw every god dang time!!" Sorry if I seem a bit too enthusiastic but god I would love to play this with you Lemon! The challenge to only use grenades sounds so awesome to me! I played this game alot while growing up along with Resident Evil 4 so these games are my bread and butter. Just in the future if you plan to possibly do this again, I would be more than happy to help! Of course that is a big dream of mine to play with someone who is amazing at challeng runs as you are.
I would have figured he would have just kept save & quiting in the defend the house part at the beginning and just stock piled many gernades, and he didn't know of the throw a gernade at a sign to open the door instead of throwing Sheva across before the first chainsaw guy
Wait is this the one where Chris Redfield punches a Volcano and causes it to erupt? I distinctly remember that from my one play through like 20 years ago
I am only 1m30s through the video and I am saddened that you had nobody that wanted to do this with you. Sounds like a blast (wrote that before realizing the pun oop.) If you have any more fun RE challenge ideas of the coop sense, I awkwardly extend my hand to help. I've played through the original RE2, and the RE1 remake with just voice controls. Love me some Resident Evil challenges. Okay back to watching 🐊❤
My buddy and I were somewhere in the top 100 global Mercenaries mode back in the day on Xbox, good ol' days. Feels like life was the coolest in high school, so many good memories.
hey lemon ive been watching you for a good while now and i love your content its grate to spend time with you, I'd love to see a fallout 3/new Vegas explosives only run. keep up the gate work :)
Found this real neat game on steam called nine sols. Super awesome side scrolling game IMO! Beautiful artwork, awesome music and sound effects, fun combat too! You should try to beat the game using talismans only! The best (or only way, I forgot because I haven’t played in a while) to get talisman charges is getting perfect parry’s . I think you’d enjoy it quite a bit!
The acid rounds put the lickers into an extended stun-state, where you can instantly stab them in the heart for a oneshot kill. Not much use in this run, since your knife isn't an explosive, but good to know!
Hey man, you should try Titan Quest, you can get Poison Bombs as early as lvl 3 with the Rogue proficiency and Firebombs a bit later in the Earth tree, also the game is amazing and provides a challenge by itself, good hunting!
So, I guess Lemon didn't know the giant spider has a unique grenade option? When you knock it down you can walk up to it, and if you have grenade in your inventory you get a prompt to throw it in its mouth. Think it takes 3 to kill doing that.
Easiest way to beat it, IMO.
Though you should always do at least 1, as that blows a hole in it's armor that you can shoot.
What that's a thing? I've beaten the game live 5 times and never knew that
@@daponagegoogenburg807 That cutscene where you see it laying on the platform and sort of snarling, opening it's mouth but not lifting itself up, that's when you can chuck a grenade in there, you get a lot of nades on that mission for that exact reason.
@Kaiimei huh, guess I've been making that harder on myself for no reason
@@daponagegoogenburg807 Tbh I always just kept the RPG from 3-1 and then used that to one-shot it.
I feel like when Mr. Lemon asks Chris for his thoughts hes not actually interested in Chris' opinions on the matter at hand, he's just checking to make sure Chris still has at least one functioning neuron left
😂love it!
Chris is like boulder where?
When you said you wanted to go thru your backlogs, we didn't think you meant going this far
Hey, BACKLOG, so it makes some sense.
I'm glad he did though I love this damn game
Those legitimate giggles, when Chris' brain cell tries to figure out which hole the square peg fits into, just made my day.
What point of the video was that?
@@SgtCookie11112:24 for example
It's so obvious though. The square peg goes in the square hole, just like every other peg does.
During the separate building section near 11:00, you can toss a grenade so it bounces off the other building, and destroys the lock on the door.
What me and my friend started doing even back in the demo and we have 100's of hours in RE5

no way my other favorite resident evil masochist
Well reach out to lemon see if he has some resi coop challenge then you can masochists together

You act as if it got boring, but the "oh there it is, oh we have one, oh if only- oh theres one" is one of my favourite jokes for plotpoints, thank GOD that the enemies were so polite to make everything difficult apart from highly sensitive equipment of doom
"Chris, what are your thoughts" *chuckles* had me dying 😂
32:39 I love me a Happy souls reference wherever it shows up lol
"I'm sorry, very good!"
Pretty sure after you started and picked up the first pistol, it made a save and you could have "restarted from checkpoint" and it would have put you in the shop menu where you could have sold Sheva's (and your) pistol for extra inventory space.
Yep it does.
And most things can be reloaded and sold infinitely
So yeah, the only limit once you have the GL is patience and inventory space
There are not just 14 of us, I swear. We may come in parties of 4, but soon, it will be 100 hunters
Chris being low on Freon because he is a stacked fridge definitely worth every chuckle 😂😂😂
This game is such a childhood classic for me, i wish people didn't hate it so much. Co-op is so fun

And just when I thought my day couldn't get any better, I get this.. best morning I've had in a while!
I've never played a RE game but im so invested in seeing how far the firebomb academy can go that I saw the whole video
great as always lemon.
Irving gloating about how big and cool he was before the transformation really got off the ground was a bold strategy.
I mean, it worked out; he turned into a monster but he was definitely throwing shade before he knew what kind of Frankenstein he would be
he became his own monster

Every game should have a merchant selling legally dubios things upsetting the church. Wonder if anyone will get that one.
Wow 100k in a day!! Your channel has exploded since your XCOM days. Great job man!! Well earned!!
I can’t tell if I just haven’t watched this channel in a while, or if Lemon was feeling extra snarky when he wrote this episode, but either way, I love it.
Lemon, you had to punch a boulder!
In honor of the Monster Hunter references, and your crossbow runs, can you beat Monster Hunter World, or Monster Hunter Rise, while only using the Bow's Dragon Piercer attack?
I can say the answer is yes for MHW, minus the forced cannon sections. Piercer is always just 👌
Speaking as a Bow main, the answer is yes, you absolutely can do that. It just requires some dancing during hunts to dodge attacks from the monsters.
Probably more interesting to do 1000 Dragons only since it requires pods for every shot.
Okay, so you mentioned upgrading weapons, but I don't remember any explosive weapons being upgradable in this game. So you didn't really mess that up at all.

@@Lianthrelle Yeah same, just hearing Jhen Mohran made me super nostalgic !

You also can just wait out the first enemies, then as soon as the gate gets broken, just run around until a cutscene saves you.
There's a button prompt for the monster at 28:00 when his mouth is open, if you're carrying a frag grenade. I think we can guess what happens.
Hey Lemon! Glad to see ya back!

32:42 That Happy Souls reference was a nice touch
I feel like the Africa controversy really lead to the fun goofiness of a coop resident evil were missed. Ai Sheva is a muppet but having an ally is actually really fun
With Sheva's AI and Chris' refrigerator-ness, you form the perfect smart fridge.
32:40 was that a Happy Souls reference???? just when i thought i couldnt love your content more :D
We love to see some fine ass content. Wouldn’t mind seeing more RE:5 vids.
the whole "oh there it is" bit had me cackling 😂
Now try Resident Evil 6, all campaigns, explosions only. I dont believe its remotely possible.

Accidental good pause at 1:23
“Accidental”
It's funny that cutscenes have you waving pistols about and firing so many shots, when you don't even own a gun.
1:28 Just don't give them any healing items or they will hunt you to ends of the earth to heal 1% of damage with a First Aid Spray
The Celeste music during the final fight was absolutely beautifull, I absolutely loved it.
I would have figured he would have just kept save & quiting in the defend the house part at the beginning and just stock piled many gernades, and he didn't know of the throw a gernade at a sign to open the door instead of throwing Sheva across before the first chainsaw guy
All these stones and masonry, not one boulder to punch. Sad Chris is sad
38:42 there we go
This would have been perfect for Mrs Lemon to join you on, especially since she’s what started all of the firebomb runs!!!!
Wait is this the one where Chris Redfield punches a Volcano and causes it to erupt? I distinctly remember that from my one play through like 20 years ago
He punches a boulder in a volcano, no eruption
38:45 lol it totally is!😅
Wow what a banger of a video. I'm so happy I found your bloodborn videos for this content
Damn,i would have played with you. Already played it Not so Long ago!🤣
Had to get that Infinite Rocket Launcher,10/10 was worth it
8:54 since the game isn’t in America the egg doesn’t need refrigeration. Not sure why we are literally the only country that does that.
This video really brought me back, remember playing with my sister and we’d just go around tossing eggs at everything instead of using guns

Your commentary reminds me of Paul from mittensquad.
Miss that guy. Rip Paul! 🙏🏻❤️
Awesome truly awesome and thank you for using Azeala town theme og for the end brought back memories
This was one of my favorites at the time, i don't think anyone i forced to play with me enjoyed it, but i had a blast.
I love that most challenge runs of RE5 have to deal with Sheva as much as they have to deal with the enemies.
Lemon I 1000% would do an explosive only run in RE5 with you. I love this game. Im so sorry you couldnt find someone to do it with you
Hell yeah, id play this again but I just genuinely dont want to have to go through the entire game again
This was a particularly funny episode. Love it!
I've been waiting so long for this video, THANK YOU
I'm a simple man, I see video, I click video, I happy
Can't wait till Resident Evil 6...wait, oh god, there's so many campaigns, why would anyone do this-
This made my day. Thanks for such consistently great content!

IF, you ever need someone to play R.E 6, just say the word big man.
I am ready to suffer, i mean, play that game.
I so would have played the run with you, favorite RE game and one of my favorite channels.
CotL soundtrack in the background, River Boy strikes again. RE5 was one of my favorite Co-op games when drunk with friends.
The acid rounds put the lickers into an extended stun-state, where you can instantly stab them in the heart for a oneshot kill. Not much use in this run, since your knife isn't an explosive, but good to know!
