Can I Beat the Most Difficult Challenge Ever Made? ☢️ S.T.A.L.K.E.R. GAMMA Invictus - Ep.1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- This new playthrough has been two months in the making. So many tries, mistakes, deaths, to eventually end on this new ironman run.
I'm not gonna give any spoilers or reveal if I made it our not, why ruin the fun? Let's just say it was my best, and most entertaining run after 27 attempts (yes, 27!). We're in for a long, probably 10+ video series, so sit back and enjoy, because I'm not attempting this again anytime soon!

11:13 “Hope he’s not rushing me.” *immediately gets rushed* works every time!
The new update made them so much more aggressive I love it (and hate it too🙃)
@@CheekiBreekiTvpain is mandatory
@@CheekiBreekiTv every time i see you with a predator suit i get envy early game its the best light armor ;P
I NEED PART 2 CHEEKBREEK
tomorrow 😁
😭😭 okay
Your risk assessment is so random it makes me lose my mind 😂😂😂
Hm, you changed things in mod configuration. Doesn't that count as changing "settings"? Because if you mess with mod configuration in this challenge, that can make drastic changes in there that would largely benefit you..
can't wait for the second ep
common ... the REALLY MOST difficult challenge is to start as Loner in Cordon with highest difficulty and make ur way straight to npp NAKED i mean no weapons all you have to find
Brother how do you cook?
Finds early KS-23 with green barrel in a stash, says "Nothing really interesting in that stash". You are a mad man 😄For me that would be a dream start. It's very strong and butcher sells ammo.
yeah there's these guns you never really try for some reason and it becomes kind of a habit to ignore them, the ks23 is definitely one of those for me, I really need to give it a chance one day!
i was about to write that😆 such a good find.
I use ks23 in every run, 23mm shotguns are the best close range weapons in the game. the ks23 can launch bloodsuckers, and the chimera hunter can destroy any mutant easily.
@@datboi2882has its cons though - only 4 shots in barrel as well as reload after every shot😢
@@weawer1709 the damage more than makes up for the ammo count. If you're using Mags Redux its even a positive trait to be able to load individual shells.
Awesome to see you going for it again! Your run inspired me to try invictus as well, and even drop some vids on it. I salute you, fellow stalker!
This is how you do a channel plug without being a dickhead. Well done
I remember when i had the UNISG faction patch as my profile picture on steam.
@@Rebel-BRTMA yeah, it's an awesome patch. Though i hope to style it a bit differently in the future
Hi!
Is it mandatory to disable miracle machine before going to red forest?
On my 52 invictus run now. I got into this sinkhole because of you, most fun I've had in ages.
And I though I was the crazy one at 28 runs, but yeah it's strangely addicting! I'm going back to soulslike tho for a while now! I find it to be a pretty good balance to just play & chill
W
For the record, Cheeki is not dealing with:
Dogs. Boars. Fighting. Using ammo. Using medicine. Checkpoints. Anomalies. Buying things from Sidorovich. Nighttime. Radiation. The swamps. 😂
After 27 failed attempts, I don't blame him at all. Also, this is why I don't play Iron Man; I would have to avoid dangerous situations I otherwise like to face. But it makes good content for YT, because we the viewers know the stakes are high.
@tomigun5180 I suggest an Ironman-lite , give your self lots of lives and the wish granter lives after a few days. It really does change up how you play. A gunfight you would otherwise just reload becomes a frantic, chaotic fight for survival.
I'm gonna leave that for evening watch. Can't wait to see how did you do. Thanks for all your Stalker content bro!
Ahahh sweet! Enjoy!
37:26 They "Clear Sky base" is such a trap. Very often you'll find yourself running in feeling safe, happy to see some friendly faces and all that but just find some Renegades squatting at the campfire. Had to learn that lesson twice :-D
How this shit happened?😂
@13:01 "nothing really interesting in that stash" gets a KS23 with a mint barrel... 🤣
oh my god ive started loving operator dreskis long form stalker videos but after watching this its not OD magic its stalker gamma magic. love these long form videos, theres a lot of tactics to learn and its super entertaining for me. keep it up and i also subbed!
Glad you like them!
Both you guys are great stalker RUclipsrs
If you're into early game artifact hunting in Cordon, the tunnel with burnt fuzz anomalies is a great risk-free spawn for perk artifacts
my earlygame ironman routine is just artefact hunting in all spots then sleep back in the village
Witch artefacts are needed to craft the stone flower?
@@dje7917no idea how you can craft artifacts but ive found plenty stone flowers in dark valley (near the gas station) and red forest i think (dont remember where)... thats on anomaly...
@@mjm5899 Thank you my friend
8:43 i like how unphased he is about the other stalkers freaking out about his weapon being out.
TBH There is even a harder way to play the game, Its called being part of the Zombie faction! When you are making a new character, just press Z and a new selection will be available to you. And in the zombie faction no one likes you!!!
I`m so exited to watch a new Ironman GAMMA run on this no doubts one the most great English speaking Stalker-channels on RUclips!
Invictus is fun AF, it's all I play on my channel. I don't normally like ironman save-deleting games, but for Stalker I think the higher stakes just adds to the gameplay experience. Actually, I don't even play non-Invictus even when I'm not recording anymore lmao. The cold sweats are 100% peak immersion.
REALLY Hard mode: only go out after dark. Check out my Night Stalker series if you wanna see me get snu-snu'd by snorks at night and squeal-shriek-scream like a little girl in a Whirligig lol.
Oh no, everytime I watch your playthroughs it makes me replay GAMMA.... *croissant*!
nooooooo, not again, stop gamma, stop calling me. I see videos the new of gamma, the new maps, now i will play COOP with my friend and NOW this video XD i never do a Invictus Run, in my last playthrough i go Renegade and what i remember i die like 3 times (but when i touch almost endgame well :v die a lot for careless)
I never got the guts to go for invictus, but I am slowly learning the game and I think at one point it will surely be the final challenge. You're an inspiration, good job!
Eyyy I just started my own Invictus series!....and it's not going well LOL. Especially since I'm using a roulette wheel to decide my faction, weapon, spawn, etc. Lurker's were also one of my deaths! At the Garbage Train station, towards the tunnel, there were 2x dead Loner's with 1x Lurker standing on top. Keep in mind I just started this run like 1hr ago so I go "Nope, I'm just gonna make my way down to Cordon". And around 6hrs+ of in-game time I FINALLY come back to Garbage and realize I had a package to deliver to Yantar, so I go over where those Lurkers were originally, wasn't paying attention, and then BOOM 2x Lurkers and I think a PseudoDog.
fk yeah, been waiting for this :D You can do it, you can win, you are great :D but refrain from killing story crucial npc´s this time, like Barman "Bird" Beard, Rogue, Sakharov, and i think thats it.
I freakin killed Gatekeeper on accident while playing mercenary. Didn't realize at the time, kept playing, became one of my best run, realized my mistake 40+hrs in just after doing the wishgranter and getting stuck in the questline. I almost cried ahahh. All my runs after that (including this one) I played loner.
oh man that rough. almost lost my run today by getting sandwitched between a pseudogiant and a controller in a "corridor" on the new map town "Yuzhniy". first time i killed a pseudogiant in melee, was my only option, thankfully it already ate 8 Ks23 rounds. Invictus is so damn fun, truly the best stalker has to offer.@@CheekiBreekiTv
@@Eladnav1 I never use the Ks23, force of habit I guess, but I keep hearing its a great weapon, really need to give it a try
do it, you´ll thank all those who recommended it as soon as you see the first monolith fly 20 ft :D@@CheekiBreekiTv
one thing i like about Cordon now that ive moved on: If i have a disastrous streak of events, run out of money, supplies, etc...i can always go back to cordon, do a bunch of super simple missions and rebuild my funds/supplies in short order.
I had a disastrous adventure in the great swamp early on. went in with ammo, medical, and like 80k rubles. After a few days in nights in the swamp, i left with 3k rubles, no medical supplies at all, a broken leg, almost no ammo. I literally limped my way back to cordon, and got myself back up to well over 130k rubles and fully stocked up in a few days. TLDR Cordon is a nice safety net to recover when things go tits up
Honestly, I don't know how you could struggle in the swamps. I'm playing a new clear sky character rn and it's nothing hard, just bandits and mutants. Maybe you played some earlier version, and they tweaked the difficulty in later patches
@@iamtakingapiss7916 it was a mix of some severe bad luck with mutant spawns, environmental damage and The last Dawn questline. Those 2 big fights are a nightmare early on. The first one in the south is made difficult due to there being no real good line of approach from the west so the bandits have a strong base of defense that you have to kind of assault from the open.
I got through it and it was fun in the end but boy did i get put through the ringer those first few days in the swamp lol
Hi, did you activate the "turn this on if you stutter" option in the mod manager?
Great to see you make another (another) attempt, hopefully this time it is a success! Thanks for posting, looking forward to more in the series!
Love you’re content and thanks for the video on how to download stalker gamma been having a blast but be careful around 1:24-1:26 the use of the baguette to censor the curse word just now sound like the f slur.
Yeah you're not the first to tell me that I'm gonna need to be more careful ahahhh
@@CheekiBreekiTv
gud luck sometime its like stepping in an anomaly
Gamma invictus is great. Can be challenging the first time but if you know the main questline it can be done with mosin and no expert tools. I honestly cant play without invictus now. Sometimes soul mod but definitely invictus it is just so satisfying.
Let's fucking goooo! I know you suck but still I am hyped. Jk jk
😘
Just suscribed, loving the Gamma content
J'avais maté ton playthrough Ironman y'a quelques mois et j'étais justement en train de me dire ce serait cool que t'en fasses un sur le nouveau patch. Ben voila mes voeux sont exaucés merci :D
I was in Nantes for a couple of days for a wedding, and whenever I saw croissants or baguettes in the bakeries, you kept popping into my head Monsieur Cheeki! Awesome video, thanks!!!
It`s great to see new invictus run from you) 16:00 - Doesn`t changing settings prevent you from getting invictus? It was written in the beggining of the video and yet you are doing it.
You can't change the base settings of the game, changing the mods settings that GAMMA adds (or even turn some on or off) is fine
YES BRO, i been waiting so long for another one.
Have you ever thought about maybe giving streaming a shot?
Aaah great to have you back with another series. Loving it.
A more difficult shift up: adding Mags Redux. But definitely agree that Invictus is a gauntlet test of skill and one's understanding of STALKER.
Edit: Also, I have never in the entirety of Stalker since the OG's release thought of jumping that tractor in Cordon Farmhouse to check who owned/was stationed there. I felt like such an idiot seeing that lol. Also: sleeping is a means to restore limb condition in Gamma, regardless of Difficulty I believe. There's also a very gradual healing mechanic from fire but I feel like you know that. I've been using sleep and fire a lot more in my most recent game (same diffs, just not ironman) and it helps keep costs down on meds/saves my Yadulin for when I'm deep in the field away from safe spots that I can sit on to heal.
Started playing GAMMA and jesus its good! I haven't had this much fun in years. These videos are great to watch while at work lol. Waiting to get home and feed my addiction.
Only negative is the AI zoning me through walls and bushes sometimes. Other than that I won't change a thing.
Good hunting stalker
I use scar all the time, without savescumming, this is how you do it without dying:
1) unequip grenades
2) unequp weapons if you are close to anyone at all
3) If the spy voices start talking, that means that scar is trying to kill you, so you need to take damage in any form to stop the psy health from decreasing - fall damage, radiation, anomaly damage, firearm, mutant, even low health limb damage when you run and it damages you beause your leg is broken.
That will stop the psy health from decreasing and will reset the artifact immediately, and it will start healing you again.
Yup, number 3 is way too dangerous and random imo to be worth playing with in an ironman run. I like to chill by a campfire instead, even if it takes longer to achieve the same effect :)
@@CheekiBreekiTvany thing that is unhealthy can work,in my experience a pack of old meat is fastest,and cigarettes are slow (maybe alcohol is also fast)
Been trying this on-off for some year. I don't think it's possible. Especially after the new changes to the brain scorcher.
I have a save in a softcore game at the entrance of the lab to rehearse the run a couple times before attempting it in Ironman (well I do this for all the tricky parts of the game, but that one in particular). Still lost like 6-7 runs there, the changes made it so much harder yeah
Can't you use 2 phantom stars for brain scorcher?
One to get to the control panel and second one to get safely out of there (missing on a lot of great loot though)
@@kedeanythWHAT??? YOU CAN DO THAT??.?
I just died on ironman taking on the brain scorcher. Perfect timing! I loved your commentary style on the last series.
I just began my own invictus run! Suffer with me! >: )
After my 15 invi completion I tried Monolith...but is just to easy.
As starter you think monolith...ok gotta go south .. and I'm forced to fight well geared stalkers....and first 6 days I was stuck in Pripyat and outskirts because there are a lot of dead stalkers every single day, the loot just pouring in with zero effort...for real 20exo batteries in 3 days, exo book, advanced and expert tools ..Nosorog on day 5 and I got bored very quickly...but I'm digress...
Started again as Monolith and boom day 31 and I'm having a blast with self induced rules to prevent me from overpowering enemies, and is perfect now hopefully I complete the Invictus ...maybe😅
c'etais sauvage la .... double chimere en mode fufu qui ont aggro quand tu tirer au bolt MDRRRRRR
That's what I call Hardcore play my friend
rtx3050ti with i7 12700h low settings, done all optimizations on discord + optimization mods, and each time i open a container or inventory, dare refresh takes on PDA i get stutters... how you play that smooth? i9 999x with rtx 5090ti?
A new Cheeki series? Fuckkkk yes, we're falling asleep comfy tonight.
Itd be great if at the end of each part of a run you could say how long youd been playing so far so like for this part could say 11 hours 30 mins etc
Hey Bro, you Must now that Jesus Christus is absolut real and i Hope you have invited him in your live. If Not do it! you will thank me in Heaven. All Grace to him God allmighty🎉❤
i was hoping for another one of these
This is so immersive, really nice to watch in 4k. What GPU are you using ? Im on a 1080ti and run about 35 fps in 4k sadly, your framerate is a dream.
Which patch are you playing on? I tried to play this on the latest 0.91 and vendors wouldn't buy sub 60% weapons parts like you're selling.
Great video man, it's nice to spend time watching your productions 😁 Pozdrawiam z Polski 💪
Pistol pro-tip: Anything beyond 50 meters is just wishful thinking. Better to get as close as you can, or to simply not engage/break contact.
You are very overconfident, sir. Running around with your inventory opened, loosely scounting ahead. Some of these makes me very unconfortable :D But will there be a happy end ?
Why do you hate the swamps? Also, what’s your stalker population set to? Sorry for the questions. Really enjoying the series btw!
Always nice watching a pro play Stalker. Iam not into every game mechanic and dont have that much time. But the game is very configurable and iam not ashamed to use the debug console every now and then. I try Ironmode If I just want to play for one hour or so :)
Là ça devient du masochisme! Toujours un plaisir de te suivre.
Hon hon hon je suis une baguette.
baguette bonjour
I always pick up the Anomalous Bread during fanatic's mission, it sells for like 2k roubles
Definitely going to copy those artifact settings. The grind on gamma is insane
how often are these videos gonna come out?
Ideally once a week, realistically once every 2 weeks :D
Mutants missions is a free money missions cuz someone will kill them anyway for u except for blood suckers and anything more dangerous and sometimes bounty missions are same
I've switched pc's and now can't play stalker. Only 20 fps for me. Pour one out for me and for others who left the zone
i really appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos. i play stalker overy once in a while and really enjoy it, but i am waaay to impatient to succeed in any kind of ironman. believe me, i tried... but it is awesome to see you playing like that. and also i think your accent and way of speaking is really comforting. so yea. thanks i guess
"Hope he's not rushing me"
Famous last words - Cheeki Breeki 😂
Is Kim Kutseragie by himself showing the real survival in zone?)
Great to see you being at it again! I'm stuck at Brain Scorcher (the lab level) at the moment. There's just so many of those dudes... Sometimes the first door does not open, either, and then I can just wait for my demise. Really looking forward to seeing how you dealt with it.
Do you use mods? or what version of STLALKER is this. Thanks in advance.
I'm magicka fan so rune master sounds fun... And easy. Its only 40 combinations.
Although I am Russian and I don't understand much of your speech, but thank you
Not sure why but if you use single shot mode, if you fire the same amount of bullets than in fully automatic, you usually do more damage. So unless at very close range, I always single shot tap spam now, instead of full auto fire to save ammo.
You're probably right. I think the mechanic in single shot is that 1st shot is 100% accurate, then you have to wait 1 second before it resets to 100% accuracy for 2nd shot. If you're spamming in single shot average accuracy probably works out better than auto. It's a really odd mechanic tho, everybody has been arguing about how it works since the game came out so I may be wrong?
@@papalegba6796 Yes and not sure if it is still the same in Gamma, but in the original Stalker SOC, the way the damage formula worked was that in automatic fire, the 2nd,3rd etc.. bullets was nerfed in damage compared to the first one.
@@P-Likan tbf, getting one accurately aimed shot off per second is about what a decent marksman could do so it's a realistic mechanic. Same with accuracy increasing from kneeling/lying, it's well thought out & was always my favourite fps for shooting. Haven't played it in years btw, just like watching others now.
@@papalegba6796 Indeed, I agree with you that accurately aimed shots are more lethal so it is somewhat more realistic however in real life, if the burst is accurately localized in a tight spot, for instance the upper chest, it should do the same damage as separate shots in that same location. I think this game mechanic makes SMG's a bit less effective and favours larger calibers rifles that can single shot quickly.
@@P-Likan true, but in stalker most enemies have body armour, so head shots most effective.
bleeping out the word fuck with the word baguette had a very unpredictable outcome lol faguette
Can't wait for the next parts of this series, I'm already addicted
What are the visual settings? Any reshades? Looks amazing
Bro, did you just label a stash with KS-23 in it as "nothing interesting" ? 😁
No breaks allowed, your suffering is our entertainment....
Fresh supply of Cheeki Breeki hot off the presses!
Stuttering, bushes mod , oinvictus plan , artefacts
You are my favorite S.T.A.L.K.E.R. creator. What a great intro!
Can anyone tell me what graphical and weapon mods he’s using ? I’ve only play vanilla anomaly
What mods did you use to turn your favorite items green and give them quick melee attacks?
sigh I still find the quests kind of boring, there are only kill, fetch, rescue and not a lot of continuity
why not upload some episodes/clips even if the runs dont go far
im alwas down for more gamma content
what did you do to have the TASKS all combined in your PDA?
Impossible de faire tourner ce jeu sur certains GPU AMD... Dégouté 😢
1:28
That's because you checked the "I like beasteality" option in the settings
I got for sure 200 h and never got invictus done....
and i like it :D
How did you get your Colt1911 to be so perfectly silver? :D
gonna be that guy: can someone please , pass the name of the song at the end of the video? im fixiated to learn it.
Hey man I love your videos, the editing and commentary are perfect for following your journey without the boring bits. I think you're one of the best Stalker creators on RUclips for sure!
I was wondering if you would recommend any other modpacks similar to Gamma but where it's easier to acquire weapons and suits without just becoming a millionaire? I'm not sure if I'm ready for the grind of Gamma and all the complicated crafting etc, although I like the health system and difficulty etc. Are there certain settings you can choose to customise the difficulty and how complicated things are?
Thanks and I look forward to more videos!
Well the beauty of GAMMA, like Anomaly, is that it's completely modular... you can change all the settings to your liking, item drop chance, quest rewards (more money, more rep), your character resistance etc... You can make the game very easy and not grindy at all if you want to.
Or try to mod your own version of Anomaly t your liking, or try something like the NOMAD modpack, specifically designed for people who want a chill experience
@@CheekiBreekiTv Thanks bro Ididn't know it was so modular like that or about NOMAD, much appreciated!
efp is nice too@@RichardVSmall
Broooo you should start listening to audio it can save you alot of troubles.
Hey, what's the intro music? I really like it.
the most difficult challenge is trying to install the mod i swear
Enjoyed this very much!
kekw at 25:10 shotgunned + crossguard in your face
How do you find artefacts outside anomaly zones?
is healing by campfire something that's always be in the game???
Not in Anomaly but in Gamma yes
@@KontraktWolf yeah I went in to test, this is a game changer, I have been wasting so many meds to heal when I could've just tabbed out next to a campfire and listened to sabaton
@@ryuhanja3415 Sabaton is 🔥 good music taste my friend
@@KontraktWolf best kind!
That was the guy with the reward 😂 haha also happens sometimes to me 😅
