Okay yeah I feel like that death was pretty bullshit, I hope they change it so you can climb up and down ropes at your own pace. Imagine climbing down a rope and seeing a dozen zombies at the bottom and just going "Welp, I have committed to this action, momma didn't raise a quitter!" instead of climbing right back up. Just video game things.
Reminds me of how I once lost a character because he started climbing a rope I hadn't even seen when I tried going through a ground floor window. Unfortunately, this rope led me to a small, room with 4 zombies, and in my panic I tried to head back through the window instead of attempting to fight. 'Cept it refused to work for some reason and it refused to let me get back through despite my spamming. Being able to stop myself from climbing that bloody rope would have been quite nice indeed.
Yah I can also relate with that(but on a different game, called Rain World) where the Rain deer do not always listen to you( Most of the time they don't listen, so you end up waiting for the rain to come to end your misery or have a vulture or wormgrass to kill you.) I have the dlc of the game as well and I can't really tell if they improved the Rain deer Ai, so I just got 2 mods where 1. I can just control the Rain deer with arrow keys or 2. Turn off worm grass to attack you as most of area can be walk through then.
Watching your character climb down a sheet rope to their doom while being powerless to stop it is truly one of the Project Zomboid moments of all time.
Have my eyes failed me or I see another descent of Gerald Williams a.k.a. the Worm Man on Earth. He found it too simple to beat a mere apocalypse, so he has decided to open a new page by taking up another challenge. He also is so humble as to relinquish his former titles and accept a new name. Thank you, AA, you are the best!
As a heads up, in the "you have one day" challenge, the zombies are alerted to your position every time you move tiles. They knew where you were at all times, so every time you gave them a path to you they all instantly started funneling for you.
I missed Worm Man more than anything. I've watched the worm man playlist so many times, the editing and narrative format of the Worm Saga is so good. Praise the return of Worm Man.
Loved your video series with "Gerald" back in the day, that's how I originally got into this game. Wouldn't mind another series following a new character, I don't think you need to handicap them so severely either. Keep up the great work!
Your narrated Project Zomboid videos from a few years back were legitimately some of the best video game video series on all of RUclips. Do some again!
Leave it to AmbiguousAmphibian to show us all why there’s mods for the sheet rope climbing. The game’s view range and the blindness of descent are a double whammy. I’d recommend using the mod that lets you stop and change direction, I’m fairly certain this was what it was made for
What the game really needs is an industrial grinder/hammer mill and conveyor belts. You build a ramp up to the grinder and build a narrow passage to it, forcing the zombies to go single file up the ramp, and use some kind of barrier to force them to go that way to get to it. The belt goes under the bottom of the grinder; zombie slurry goes onto the belt and gets yeeted off into a burn pit/pile. Then you hang a radio over the pit, out of reach, and turn it on at max volume. Then you go hide somewhere and wait for the zombies to clear themselves out.
i've done this sort of thing with decaying winter, the last strandeds mode and the only things i can get after night 1 is blueprints, ammunition, and things to immediately throw into the scrapper, unfortunately the furthest i've gotten is the scavenging phase before the boss wave (yeah i died to the bad business fools)
Yaaay, Project Zomboid again! Every time I have a really bad day I just have a marathon of watching the story of Gerald Williams. No time is wasted if I'm having fun. That's the rule.
Apparently there is a mod that allows you to climb up and down ropes at will, instead of having to commit to the action fully. It's called "rope climbing and jumping".
it is so fascinating to see the growth from the humble worm man all to this lad you have crafted, with the ability to call the horde with a single yell, a true champion to the bitter end
Obviously not a hard challenge but you could definitely live out the "what if you where all alone one day" scenario in zomboid by turning off all zombies
Awesome episode AA, please do more like these, I love a good challenge run. Its crazy how well you can do with a character with many negative traits. I do PZ runs with far more positive traits and don't do half as well, like the supplies rng was great right there.
I still love this format and i hope you keep making them! I just can't get into streams when i could just be playing the game myself (unless I'm just looking for general familiarization). Keep it up Amphibuous Ambigian 👍
Hey, AA. just want to thank you for all the delicious content. I suffer from regular, crippling migraines and, while I can't always watch your videos, I do love to listen to them. You have a very calming voice and your narratives are always entertaining.
I know it wouldnt be as fun a challenge the next time now that you have an idea of what to do. But woild be really neat to see if you could do this with the added challenge of how many you can take out before dying, or maybe even seeing if you can defeat the horde with such a terrible start.
Ah that old way to die ,,, happened to me once and i installed the climb up and down sheet rope mod as this makes sense that you should be able to climb back up if you spot danger below ..
God, I would be SO PISSED if I went down and saw that. There’s no option to stop climbing and yet the zombies can attack you before you even touch the ground???
Insanely lucky for the sledgehammer. For people who haven't played Zomboid, many have gone through entire runs searching the entire map for a sledgehammer and not found one. AA was not exaggerating
If you manage to find a sledgehammer for this challenge, knock out the stairs for every 2+story building you can... that way you wont have to do it when you bridge to those buildings later
Ngl i hate waking up to the 5 hour streams cuz youtube cursed me with your channel but i did find i slowly did like when i got to watch wild moments at random so noice
You should get mods that have more traits. You'll maybe end up with 200+ trait points if you go only negative traits, but you'll have a helluva ride. Probably should avoid the paraplegic one.
AA, and the team, please could we have more Zomboid and Rimworld. You play those titles like no other, and irs a pleasure to see every video. Stay slimey my moist manfrog.
I thought this challenge mode had the zoms know where you were at all times. I guess it takes a few moments for them to get the memo since there's so many of them lmao
Woah this is really cool!!! I never thought i'd see the day when you made a video about me. I feel so humbled and weird. At least I can just go as myself the next time we have a convention. I'm sure at least one person will recognize me now.
Hey there you fancy lizard you. I've recently been playing around with an idea, now it might not be your cup of tea anymore, but I'm going to throw it out there anyway. Using the dynamic trait/More trait - dynamic submod, create a character that has your true and tested, all negative traits, with a caveat, only use negative traits that can be dynamically removed through self-improvement, create a truly From zero to Hero character as you become better in face of adversity of not only the apocalypse but also yourself.
Dude... That ending is pain... So there's no "Stop" or "go back up" button? A "look where you're going" button would also be good. "Look down hole" or "Look up". Aaaaagh, PAIN... Good run though. In my eyes, you had it. I consider this a win for you.
I love how he just descends down despite seeing 50 zombies, they should add controls to halt movement mid way or ascend back
Ikr or maybe a movement to just look over the edge before so you can see where you're going before descending
fr i dont think thats unreasonable
that will be another 10 years
it would be quicker to learn how to mod and actually make your own "climbing back up on sheet ropes" mod than waiting for it to be added in the game
im pretty sure theres already a mod for that, i cant remember the name though.
EDIT: The mod is called Rope Climbing & Jumping
Okay yeah I feel like that death was pretty bullshit, I hope they change it so you can climb up and down ropes at your own pace.

workshopID: 3002239837
it does all that and lets you jump from it halfway
FR
lol
Ironic, the defect that killed negative traits man was the one shared by all Zomboid survivors, the inability to look down.
You have to admire that kind of resolve. "No, I've already committed to climbing down this rope. I would never second-guess myself and stop halfway."

I can’t wait for the Project Zomboid All Positive Traits and GodMode playthrough on April 1st.
😀
Nice to see ya here Jabo, truly cultured.
I'd love to see how Psychopath trait, the terminator trait, and Berserker trait all work together.
Jabo watches PZ content? Thought you couldn't get cooler
Bring back the Project Zomboid storytelling videos where you narrate your struggles. Those were ASMR for the soul.
IKR?! They honestly got me through some rough times. AA is doin the lawd's work in Louisville.
OK
@@ambiguousamphibianReally? Let’s go! Also keep Gymnopédie (was that the song you used?) in those videos, it’s really calming
yay!@@ambiguousamphibian
@@ambiguousamphibian MY man 🤙
Rimworld too, if you're feeling so inclined lol
I like the idea that this guy didn't even know the zombie apocalypse was starting yet. He just woke up in his own bedroom and immediately panicked
Sometimes the key to stand unmoved by the world's problems is to cultivate even bigger _personal_ problems😅
28 Days Later if Cillian Murphy had anxiety

A voice in the crowd, but I'm really happy you're going back to this kind of editing and zomboid. I love the way you narrate events.
Watching the zombies fall through the holes in the floor made me laugh every time without fail

if only Amphibian could roll out Zomboid vids like a factory. The story telling!
Your content is comforting and nice to watch always. I’d happily watch you play any game you felt like playing with your narrative voice

So good to see a classic PZ style video, love all the newest videos too, but its nice to see this classic game come back every so often!
it is so fascinating to see the growth from the humble worm man all to this lad you have crafted, with the ability to call the horde with a single yell, a true champion to the bitter end
You do not understand the joy I feel, watching another zombiod video with AAs storytelling
These survival challenges are always fun. Thanks AA.
I too, would stop by the diner to eat a gallon of icecream while prepping for the apocalypse
I mean this in the best possible way, your videos are amazing to fall asleep to. Your voice and narration are just really relaxing.
Obviously not a hard challenge but you could definitely live out the "what if you where all alone one day" scenario in zomboid by turning off all zombies
YO THE PHILOSOPHICAL ZOMBOID VIDEOS ARE BACK!
Awesome episode AA, please do more like these, I love a good challenge run. Its crazy how well you can do with a character with many negative traits. I do PZ runs with far more positive traits and don't do half as well, like the supplies rng was great right there.

He came back when we needed him most
Finally a gameplay I can relate to on a personal level!
This is going to be hell I just know it.

i missed you're project zomboid content, loved this one.
Ah yes, perfect. A new zomboid video to ignore my responsibilities with
I love your new format of short one episode challenges, but I really enjoyed the longer series... maybe you should make some more of those too...
God, I would be SO PISSED if I went down and saw that.
There’s no option to stop climbing and yet the zombies can attack you before you even touch the ground???
This is exciting i have literally started rewatching the earlier series this week!!
The Cucco noises for the zombies were amazing. Once again a great video.
Loved this story telling. This was really fun.
I adore PZ videos (even though I'm too scared to play). They soothe me to sleep when I have trouble entering the land of Hypnos.
This was an epic story. maybe you could do a multiplayer version of this, "the rooftop clan".
Insanely lucky for the sledgehammer. For people who haven't played Zomboid, many have gone through entire runs searching the entire map for a sledgehammer and not found one. AA was not exaggerating
Please do more zomboid, its by far your best content, and my personal #1 favorite for all zomboid content on youtube.
Anyone else find ambiguous amphibian playing project zombied cosy? Absolutely love falling asleep to it
More series like this would be great, ideally longer :)
If you manage to find a sledgehammer for this challenge, knock out the stairs for every 2+story building you can... that way you wont have to do it when you bridge to those buildings later
AA it took me a while to find and like your content. Now I can't get enough. Old stuff, new stuff, I NEED THE RECALCITRANT REPTILE!
PZ VIDEO YESSSSSSS. This is what I crave from AA if not his Rim World stories. Thank you for the dopamine good sir!
You got me to buy PZ about a year ago and Ive been loving and playing it since. Thanks for the entertaining and insightful content
You sir are a master craftsman of entertainment, I love your voice, your style, and you just make me smile with every video.
I love every Project zomboid challenges you do amphibian
Looks like something from 'They are Billions'. Give it a shot if you haven't already
Ngl i hate waking up to the 5 hour streams cuz youtube cursed me with your channel but i did find i slowly did like when i got to watch wild moments at random so noice
Been binging your content! Just started playing Kenshi and your Torsolo content is gold!
He was born a chain smoker, with a pack in his hand.
Seeing that ambiguousamphibian realesed a new project zomboid video has brought me great joy
I loved your series about Gerald Williams. I would love to see more of it
Love your PZ vids. always have me coming back!
You should totally play more Exanima! They had an update recently that added a bunch of magic!
This man is the pnly youtuber Ill watch play Project Zomboid. Such an entertaining dude
I love the editing on this one!
start apocalypse time and starting items are two of the best mods imo.
Man, if this was C:DDA, they'd have 4 different types of either flying or jumping monstrosities making it up there :P
You survived 28 days. Hmm... They should make a movie about that. I bet it would be terrifying!
Love the surf music in the background
I eat while watching, your voice is soothing healing for my pained soul
More Zomboid is always appreciated. Thank you Sir.
Always a good day when you upload. Love the content.
Ah, the Zomboid vids got me to follow AA. Glad to see him still making videos within the game. 😩
Omg how I have missed these Project Zomboid videos.
Yo i was just thinking when you were going to make another Zomboid video and i got a notification on this! Wishes come true!
You should get mods that have more traits. You'll maybe end up with 200+ trait points if you go only negative traits, but you'll have a helluva ride. Probably should avoid the paraplegic one.
need more of this!!!! thanks man i love your work
Damn back at it
That was well put together, had me giggling quite a few times. very good job =)
Just as I was getting ready to start my annual Gerald Willam’s watch i get blessed wit this, thank you
AA, and the team, please could we have more Zomboid and Rimworld. You play those titles like no other, and irs a pleasure to see every video.
Stay slimey my moist manfrog.
All hail the green reptile, for he blessed us again with a video one will take upon his soul with joy and gratitude.
I thought this challenge mode had the zoms know where you were at all times. I guess it takes a few moments for them to get the memo since there's so many of them lmao
there's a mod where it also allows you change directions when climbing an escape rope
Woah this is really cool!!! I never thought i'd see the day when you made a video about me. I feel so humbled and weird. At least I can just go as myself the next time we have a convention. I'm sure at least one person will recognize me now.
I feel like so many videos could start with "Upon spawning in I was already in a state of panic"

AA makes zomboid video. I smile. Life is good
I love your channel and the stuff you post ambiguousamphibian :)
Dude... That ending is pain... So there's no "Stop" or "go back up" button?
A "look where you're going" button would also be good.
"Look down hole" or "Look up".
Aaaaagh, PAIN... Good run though. In my eyes, you had it. I consider this a win for you.
I wish they add a feature that you can move your character up and down the rope sheets
For the algorithm! I've been missing a zen Zomboid soliloquy in my life.
FINALLY MORE ZOMBOID! I've been waiting! Thank you AA
If it was intentional or not, it's a nice little 28 days later reference at the end
I always love your project zomboid challenges! 🤙
PZ is back on the menu, boys!!!
Would be nice to see another PZ series.
