Another thing that I’ve found extremely helpful during my playthroughs is using the void render mode! It’s great because it highlights enemies in red. It’s especially great during really dark infected sections with stalkers since you’ll be able to see exactly where they are. Highly recommend for my fellow gamer weenies 🥳
THANK YOU. I am a big baby but decided to replay recently. About to go through the first stalker section again. Don’t know how I even managed to get through it the first time without passing out from fear 😭
4:28 I'll definitely try this on my next playthrough! I'm playing the Remastered version now and don't want to start it over, but this is a game I always go back to. Thanks 😁!!!
This will help a lot of people who want the grounded trophy. Also definitely give grounded a playthrough or an attempt on the way it was intended. It’s a very fun challenge that leaves you feeling proud of yourself once you get through a hard area. Hillcrest, The first seraphite encounter, The stalker forest fight, The building with infected and Abby gets stuck in after lifting Yara and Lev out and a few more
@@Owen01 i mean the fun mostly comes from achieving smth for example when i played hitman blood money all missions on the highest difficulty i failed so much till i learned the perfect way to assasinate each target without killing any civilian but i sure as well enjoyed each time i completed smth wayy more than when i played on normal
In the last of us, it isnt just damage and health scaling. The AI is deadly, but so are you. And the AI is GOD TIER. Every death I've had makes it feel like MY FAULT. Not the games. Which a LOT of games get wrong. Seriously, the AI is fantastic. It makes it feel real, some would say grounded. But back to the point of my fault vs the games. Every death, Its cus I rushed, or I wasted ammo, missed shots, or got caught. Never was I Like: "how did they see me? or Why did that happen?" @@Bithe_Get
I never really found the Rat King to behave any differently, regardless of the difficulty, and I have played on all difficulties except Survivor. He's just kind of a massive force that you have to keep distance from while you damage him. That is really the challenge.
I never thought the Rat King was that difficult for some reason. There's ALOT of room down there and it's very forgiving if you run out of ammo or just need to run circles. Granted, I played it on Moderate, but I imagine it would be the same on grounded.
@@Kickstop_ it’s because he’s a little scripted, like an uncharted set piece. It’s like there’s just one way to kill him and that’s shoot and run, whereas normal enemies have many many ways to do that
I can't even imaging playing grounded on this game on normal settings. I usually play the original game on Survivor, but 2 is so much harder that normal mode didn't feel all that much easier than the original on Survivor, aside from materials. I tried Survivor and I just couldn't do it. Grounded would be insane. But I won't cheat for the trophy so I won't do this.
@@leo6950 I wasn't even able to play Survivor, and this is from someone who has beat the original on grounded multiple times. TLOU2 is just significantly more difficult due to the smarter AI.

It took me 50 hours lol. I was playing on permadeath (per chapter) so that slowed me down, but it will take you a very long time. I think I almost had 300 deaths.
Just found your channel while checking for ideas for grounded mode and for less than a minute i had to subscribe purely for the vibes and also for the helpful tips. Keep it up!
Thank you very much. I loved the game in light difficulty and got the rest of the trophies that way, but after getting a pretty bad wrist injury I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get this one. I got it in the last of us part 1 and was dreading going through that again. I'm glad I can look forward to my experience getting the trophy now 😊 Cheers!
Dude thank you so much for all this info, it'll definitely help me get the trophy. And no, I won't feel guilty for getting it this way; I played all four Uncharteds and Tlou1 on the hardest mode, I believe Naughty Dog won't mind this one time :)
@@garryja513 Yep! I followed all the steps in this video and got the trophy super easy! And the permadeath one too. I also used a render mode (I think) where your character is blue, enemies are red and all interactive objects are yellow (I dont know the name of the mode).
@@Boleta1245 Wow that's crazy I never think about it but now I see the light to make it happen to 100% trophies in The Last Of Us Part II (PS4) and it will for sure encourage me to get it on the PS5 version as well 😁
@@garryja513 You can do it, just keep crawling through the game and ignore all encounters. Hardest parts are the Seattle school, ground zero (rat king), and the forest (with Yara and Lev). If you get stuck, keep trying. You will get the trophy in the end 😎🤙🏻
Great video. And yep I knew all of this because I used all these options to get my grounded and permadeath trophies months ago. The invisibility option when prone makes grounded a cake walk. it's kinda funny because I literally went prone and crawled my way through almost the whole game without fighting anyone just went past all the enemies LOL. But now I do play on either hard or survivor difficulty without using any of these options though. I only used those options once for the grounded and permadeath trophies.
Not possible. You have to fight the rat king, and all the infected when you’re trapped in the woods part where Lev and Yara have to rescue you, to name a few.
as a girl whos on her road to platinum tlou II i am very happy that i found this video and could build some confidence around it. i have finished the game on the easiest mode and had no intention of trying it any harder, basicly because i get so easily confused with the controls 😭
There's a cheasy way to do it and a speed run way the cheasy way you take them out like a ninja hide behind the water staircase they can go there untill your time says 1 minute ago it does have small sections of save time and kill and repeat so if you do mess up it puts you back to only 1 minute ago boring but works
people commenting saying “oh this is too easy why don’t you do it legit” that’s the point read the video title bruv, if you feel like it’s too easy then don’t do what he says. it’s as easy as that. no need to leave your hate comments it’s totally unnecessary
I think its that people want the trophy but want the help of the video but they are embrassed at themselves for coming in here and do probably take some or all of the notes here but try to cover up the wound by pretending to rage about how they are better than this. I bet half of the people turned on the listen mode and turned off enemy flanking at minimum. Personally im going to look forward to crawling my way to the end. Im already having fun with moderate and honestly if a single player game lets me have a cheap way to get a trophy i will always take it. I know there will be more pride in doing grounded legit but i just finished doing the mafia 1 race on realistic difficulty so i have enough gamer pride for rn.
Here's a way to enable any gameplay modifiers on Grounded Mode and still receive the trophy as well :) 1. You start your new play through on Grounded which should disable the gameplay modifiers in the menu 2. Play up to Ellie's Seattle Day 1(The Gate) or further 3. Manually save your game and quit to the main menu, go to story -> encounters and go to any encounter with any difficulty 4. After loading the encounter you don't have to play through it, immediately turn on all gameplay modifiers while in the encounter and quit back to the menu 5. Continue your story and your cheats should be on
so what ur saying is first on grounded i gotta reach Ellies's Seattle Day 1 and then save the grounded gane and then go to any encounter and then on ur cheats and then go back to ur story?
Hey im right now at the beginning of abby when she was little and i just want to say thanks for this. I would never be able to get even close to getting the trophy without you.
The only accessibility options I enabled were enhanced listen mode and high contrast mode. I only did this for the scavenging, I don't use them in combat encounters. I've played these games so many times and I don't feel like searching every inch of the world for supplies anymore. I just got to Abby Day 1 on grounded+ and I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. It's really fun to sneak through encounters without killing or being seen.
Despite the horrendous difficulty spike (mostly due to incredible enemy perception/accuracy imo), if you can make it through grounded difficulty it really pushes you to master all of the game mechanics. Infected battles become melee and dodge only encounters and more bricks and bottles get thrown than bullets fired! There ARE a few other useful little game 'hacks' you can use without messing with the settings though, which helped my playthrough a lot. ALL of the vehicle combat enounters will give you unlimited ammo up to a certain point, then you'll start the next section with the number of rounds you have left in the mag after the last reload. So when Ellie is with Jesse in the 4WD, she'll reload when the final clicker turns up - try and kill it with as few rounds as possible to stash a bit of extra ammo. It's a similar deal for Abby. You'll also get a full heal after every day end / trip back to the theatre, so save your meds if you're near the end! Personally I tried to only use firearms on human enemies and nastier infected. Bricks and bottles do get a bit rarer here, but you should be aiming to get a grab/strike kill using each one. If you have a melee weapon though, always go for a grab kill over a strike and save your melee weapon for an enemy you can't stun first. Other than that, learn to dodge. It felt kind of glossed over compared to some of the other new mechanics to me, but it's incredibilty effective against infected/melee enemies If you can recognise the enemies attack wind up animations.
Same thing playing brutal mode on the first 3 uncharted where you die with just 2 bullets (in the first uncharted at a certain point there are some enemy with a pistol that will one shot you) and enemies with 5 bullets. You need to learn to use a different kind of cover similar to a glitch but it isn't and use glitch to have more ammo.
I understand using all the things that you mentioned in the video for making the experience somehow easier and bearable, but i honestly recommend playing grounded mode as it was meant to be played. Either for gaining the trophy or for just wanting to experience the difficulty.
@@blacktimbs8354 Well done for the trophy mate. I too have gained the trophy on tlou1 and the challenge of grounded mode made me appreciate more the game, its themes of survival and overall gameplay.
This is dope as hell. Probably gonna use some off this later on. Still haven't got myself to play the game again. Enjoyed my first playthrough so much but I didn't have the time to grind a whole entire playthrough again. But it's something I need to start doing to get them platinum trophies. Happened to me with Ghost of Tsushima, finished the story in my first playthrough but didn't have the patience to go through again and try 100% everything with all the side quests to get that platinum. But now that it's been a year the games will feel new to me again. Keep up the great content chief 👊🏿💯
Nice video brotha, I did this after I got the grounded trophy the regular way, I couldn’t believe they allowed this to work, I made it through prone about 90% of the game and finished in under 9 hours
It's not a great experience. Companion A.I. is none existing they also block doorways push you out of cover. Stealth is completely ruined. I bet they took out wall listening because it seems once spotted enemies spawn behind you. Enemies shoot through objects and walls. Have a bomb, smoke, or bottle tossed across the map and have them know exactly where you are once they go off. Cut scenes are a complete jokes because the characters act like a idiots during gameplay but act like commander warrior's in the cutscenes. Immersion is garbage. You'd think A.I. would increase and make it harder. Nope just give the enemies aim bot and button input reading. There's Metro Exodus hard and there's unfair advantage and that's exactly what grounded is.
Grounded mode is not immersive. The ai's perception is f****** god-like. You get spotted and before the enemy can even finish saying they've seen you, every other enemy in the area will turn and immediately fire with pinpoint accuracy. You'll shoot an enemy and, if you don't land a headshot, before you'll have enough time to line up a second shot they'll recover and fire, and they don't miss. It's been a long time since I played grounded on TLOU 1, but I don't remember it being this broken.
For those who may not know, I've completed TLOU1, Left Behind, and TLOU2 Grounded the authentic way multiple times, and if you're curious about my journey, you can check out that video here: ruclips.net/video/aG3DDwHwu_w/видео.html Once again, thank you all for being a part of my channel and this evolving experience! 🤠❤🤠
Dan, there is a way to get unlimited ammo and supplies in grounded mode. Step 1: play until you get to Seattle Day 1 where you unlock the first encounter. The one with the infected at the synagouge Step 2: save your game, and exit back into the main screen. Step 3: Load up the first encounter, and put the difficulty in Light Step 4: Give yourself the infinite ammo and infinite supplies cheat, then exit. Step 5: Load back up grounded save, and you'll have it. Even the one-hit shots work. Tested this and got the trophy. I think it works for permadeath too.
Its an understatement to say that these changes make grounded mode feel like Light Easy. With "invisible while prone" active in particular, its more like that glitch in Payday 2 where you can literally crawl under the cops noses & steal the loot as long as you dont leave prone position
@@ManlyPelican yeah man exactly what I think, I went through it the hard way and raged and struggled but was so proud when I did it and the trophy popped and now seeing everyone can get it makes me sad man
@Tivo Hev we aren't losing sleep over it but you don't have to do that trophy for the plat. If you are going for that trophy you are saying you want a challenge and are ready to take on the hardest stuff the game has to offer. To do this makes the whole experience pointless.
@Tivo Hev well I enjoyed it for being that that hard but I think it's just a bit unfair that people would play it with all these easy settings and still get the trophy
Also, the rat king fight is made much easier if you find the flamethrower. If you do, save it for that fight. Don't waste any of it on any other enemy.
Great video for those who absolutely just want a taste of Grounded and still want the trophy! You don’t have to turn all of those option on, those are just tips! Thank you for letting us know about Grounded (Dan’s Version)
Why do I feel like Grounded is now just Baby Mode after this video? Thank you so much Wolf for the tips and tricks! Now I’m definitely going to Platinum TLoU2!!!
I played this game finally for the 1st time from start to the very end, and this platinum are really easy. I want to give grounded a try but i am not a horror type of guy and also not a survival gamer but ill give it a shot. It`s really a very nice and amazing game to play and i love this gameplay. thanks for the tips bro!!
I just finished Grounded+ with most of these settings and it worked out pretty well for me. Trophy popped up. Thanks to that enhanced listen mode and invisible while prone, the playthrough was a breeze. Especially in the last encounter at the resort in Catalina Island (which can be a nightmare) I was able to sneak past every Rattler while prone without fighting them.
This is awesome because I'm going to try to do as much of it as legit as possible but nice to know there are options if I get stuck. I imagine you can change these at any time?
Rat king tip: Dont use any explosives or fire related weapons as Abby, or high caliber. Save all your powerful weapons for him. Stealth the rest of the way
I have also learned (not personally confirmed yet, but confirmed by others recently) that as long as you get to the “Seattle day, one” chapter title screen: Quit the game (you cannot manually, save and grounded, but it will have auto saved at that point) Go to the main menu and navigate to where you can play an “encounter” - there should be only 2 choices if you just started Seattle day 1, chose any difficulty that ISN'T grounded. In the encounter, pause. Extras. Gameplay modifiers. Switch on whatever you want - infinite ammo, infinate crafting, etc. Quit the encounter. From the main menu start back up the grounded play through and all the modifiers will be ACTIVE. I confirmed that the cheats are working in grounded as of TODAY. What I don’t yet know is if I will get the trophy when I’m done the playthrough.
The next thing you can and should do is go through the extras tab on the menu and then "game modifiers" and get the "unlimited craftables and ammo 1 hit melee attacks and 1 shot deaths. This will allow you to survive longer and not need to worry about picking up items while playing
Man I got this trophy legit without these settings!! It’s was a tough week to get that trophy, let me tell you, wish I seen this video sooner haha, could’ve saved time
Congrats, boss. Same here but Got stuck on the part were Ellie has to fight with Seraphites. I died and reset countless now. So i feel like i need to cheat and hack my way around. I wish i got the balls to muscle through the pain just like you.
Im happy that i beat grounded on both games without tutorials. My biggest struggle was the fight in which ellie is FORCED to fight several stalkers, a clicker, and at least 1 of the 2 shamblers. Truly difficult
Game is nice. I will try this. Hope it works in the remastered version. Im playing a run on normal mode but do have a thing for when games will let you bullshit your way through them like subnaticas in game cheats menu. But i do got to say i will be only using these for grounded and will be doing all the collectibles on normal.
There's an exploit that acutally allows you to play Grounded difficulty with cheats on. It was so nice to kill everyone on one hit, including the Rat king boss.. Had the trophy done in 4 hours.
Oh my God, thank you, I just spent like 3 hours of my life on a stupid part where I had to fight a bunch of infected, I kept running out of bullet. Thank you!
Beat TLOU1 on grounded like a breeze because I had underestimated myself and played normal THROUGH grounded, thinking I couldn't take on the challenge. But by the time I reached grounded, I was already a good shot and played with near nothing. But grounded plus? Fucking insane. If you get up and move slightly, clickers will fkn hear you immediately and come towards ya. Definitely gonna use some of these just so it's not so damn crazy
I started Grounded mode to do it legit, however I ran into an infuriating circumstance. Everything i would collect, the game would not register it! I’d pick up explosives only to see i had ZERO explosives! I didnt want to restart the whole thing so I persevered…its not better with Abby. Every alcohol i picked up would not register! Ive never been so pissed at the games defect.
Was expecting this video to give some tips and tricks, but instead I gave me some straight up cheats, not complaining just pointing it out. 10/10 video
I played my first playthrough on "Hard" difficulty with agressive playstyle killing every enemy. I found it so easy that I just decided to crawl through the next couple playthroughs to get my 100 %. Needles to say, but I enjoyed the first game much more than this...
Playing through it on moderate and loot every area. I do stealth kills whenever and do find myself full with supplies a lot. Guess moderate was made for people who just run and gun the game like its cod. Im in seattle day 2 with 11 hours in.
Hooray! Baby Mode Players UNITE! And I might actually give Grounded a go using this method!!! Thanks for sharing the secrets to not getting your face ripped off! Question - can you get past the dogs if you choose "invisible while prone," or can they still sniff you out?
I honestly can't remember, but because no one an see you until they "step on you" I **do** remember shooting some dogs and their owners very up close while prone
There is no baby mode method for the Grounded mode trophy on The Last of us Part 1. So anyone who wants that trophy has to do it the normal way. lol l already have it, and wasn't too bad. But l would see Grounded mode being much MUCH harder on part 2 if it was done legit. That would of actually made a HILARIOUS Trophy though honestly. Finish the entire game on Baby mode with all optional settings turned on LOL
I got the trophy on Grounded+ with “Game modification”. I enabled Infinite ammo and crafting with sun glitch. I’ll do another grounded game but without the cheats this time.
Do you remember when the trophy popped? Edit: I got it a while ago, the trophy pops as soon as the credits are over and yes you can skip them and get the trophy
If you loading into a any game, save that allows you to do game modifications, like infinite ammo, toggle those and then go into your grounded save it won’t untag those
Absolute Legend, I did this grounded mode legit last year and it took years off my life haha, created a new account just to Plat this game again as I love it - finishing up Hard just now and will do this method for the Grounded+
@@iambrandonpoo thanks. I'm on it now! Wanted to make sure it pops before I do the whole thing 😂 I did try to do this legit yesterday but I ended up rage quitting 😅 it's way harder than part 1 grounded
@@nedmccann5381 yeah the absolute hardest part for me was right before you have to fight the big women with the pickaxe and the part after that. I did that part so so many times. You really have to learn how time and dodge in the woods
Very useful. I like challenges, what I don't like is doing the same fight 40 times (not ironically) just because you got headshot just because you missed that last arrow after spending 15 minutes trying to stealthily kill enemies. The first run must be played on Very Easy to enjoy the story, get upgrades and all the collectibles. Grounded must be left for the second run onwards.

so what ur saying is first on grounded i gotta reach Ellies's Seattle Day 1 and then save the grounded gane and then go to any encounter and then on ur cheats and then go back to ur story?
Loved the video, Wolf! I personally like the challenge, but this is awesome for those who don’t want to suffer like I’m suffering right now 😅😅
Right on, Gustavo
Hey im right now at the beginning of abby when she was little and i just want to say thanks for this. I would never be able to get even close to getting the trophy without you.
The only accessibility options I enabled were enhanced listen mode and high contrast mode. I only did this for the scavenging, I don't use them in combat encounters. I've played these games so many times and I don't feel like searching every inch of the world for supplies anymore. I just got to Abby Day 1 on grounded+ and I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. It's really fun to sneak through encounters without killing or being seen.
Despite the horrendous difficulty spike (mostly due to incredible enemy perception/accuracy imo), if you can make it through grounded difficulty it really pushes you to master all of the game mechanics. Infected battles become melee and dodge only encounters and more bricks and bottles get thrown than bullets fired! There ARE a few other useful little game 'hacks' you can use without messing with the settings though, which helped my playthrough a lot. ALL of the vehicle combat enounters will give you unlimited ammo up to a certain point, then you'll start the next section with the number of rounds you have left in the mag after the last reload. So when Ellie is with Jesse in the 4WD, she'll reload when the final clicker turns up - try and kill it with as few rounds as possible to stash a bit of extra ammo. It's a similar deal for Abby. You'll also get a full heal after every day end / trip back to the theatre, so save your meds if you're near the end! Personally I tried to only use firearms on human enemies and nastier infected. Bricks and bottles do get a bit rarer here, but you should be aiming to get a grab/strike kill using each one. If you have a melee weapon though, always go for a grab kill over a strike and save your melee weapon for an enemy you can't stun first. Other than that, learn to dodge. It felt kind of glossed over compared to some of the other new mechanics to me, but it's incredibilty effective against infected/melee enemies If you can recognise the enemies attack wind up animations.
Same thing playing brutal mode on the first 3 uncharted where you die with just 2 bullets (in the first uncharted at a certain point there are some enemy with a pistol that will one shot you) and enemies with 5 bullets. You need to learn to use a different kind of cover similar to a glitch but it isn't and use glitch to have more ammo.
I understand using all the things that you mentioned in the video for making the experience somehow easier and bearable, but i honestly recommend playing grounded mode as it was meant to be played. Either for gaining the trophy or for just wanting to experience the difficulty.
Some of us sold our soul to get the grounded trophy on tlou1. We’re good on “experiencing the difficulty”
@@blacktimbs8354 Well done for the trophy mate. I too have gained the trophy on tlou1 and the challenge of grounded mode made me appreciate more the game, its themes of survival and overall gameplay.
Tbh I want the experience
This is helpful but i’m here for the suffering not the trophy so i did in the intended way
This is dope as hell. Probably gonna use some off this later on. Still haven't got myself to play the game again. Enjoyed my first playthrough so much but I didn't have the time to grind a whole entire playthrough again. But it's something I need to start doing to get them platinum trophies. Happened to me with Ghost of Tsushima, finished the story in my first playthrough but didn't have the patience to go through again and try 100% everything with all the side quests to get that platinum. But now that it's been a year the games will feel new to me again.
Keep up the great content chief 👊🏿💯
You're very kind, Tapiwa!
Nice video brotha, I did this after I got the grounded trophy the regular way, I couldn’t believe they allowed this to work, I made it through prone about 90% of the game and finished in under 9 hours
Awesome stuff, Marine 3:16!
I honestly recommend playing this game on grounded/survival. Its a great experience.!
its too inmersive
It's not a great experience. Companion A.I. is none existing they also block doorways push you out of cover. Stealth is completely ruined. I bet they took out wall listening because it seems once spotted enemies spawn behind you. Enemies shoot through objects and walls. Have a bomb, smoke, or bottle tossed across the map and have them know exactly where you are once they go off. Cut scenes are a complete jokes because the characters act like a idiots during gameplay but act like commander warrior's in the cutscenes. Immersion is garbage. You'd think A.I. would increase and make it harder. Nope just give the enemies aim bot and button input reading. There's Metro Exodus hard and there's unfair advantage and that's exactly what grounded is.
@@greyham5620 not that deep ur just bad
Grounded mode is not immersive. The ai's perception is f****** god-like. You get spotted and before the enemy can even finish saying they've seen you, every other enemy in the area will turn and immediately fire with pinpoint accuracy. You'll shoot an enemy and, if you don't land a headshot, before you'll have enough time to line up a second shot they'll recover and fire, and they don't miss.
It's been a long time since I played grounded on TLOU 1, but I don't remember it being this broken.
@@DJ-3D I get u now but it's not to bad I'm pretty much done with the game on grounded
For those who may not know, I've completed TLOU1, Left Behind, and TLOU2 Grounded the authentic way multiple times, and if you're curious about my journey, you can check out that video here: ruclips.net/video/aG3DDwHwu_w/видео.html Once again, thank you all for being a part of my channel and this evolving experience! 🤠❤🤠
Dan, there is a way to get unlimited ammo and supplies in grounded mode.
Step 1: play until you get to Seattle Day 1 where you unlock the first encounter. The one with the infected at the synagouge
Step 2: save your game, and exit back into the main screen.
Step 3: Load up the first encounter, and put the difficulty in Light
Step 4: Give yourself the infinite ammo and infinite supplies cheat, then exit.
Step 5: Load back up grounded save, and you'll have it.
Even the one-hit shots work. Tested this and got the trophy. I think it works for permadeath too.
Its an understatement to say that these changes make grounded mode feel like Light Easy. With "invisible while prone" active in particular, its more like that glitch in Payday 2 where you can literally crawl under the cops noses & steal the loot as long as you dont leave prone position
Wow. At this point you might as well just play on light. I’d recommend playing Grounded as it was intended.
Agree. The whole point of the trophy is the challenge. Kinda taints the trophy if people don't do it legit.
Fr if you can’t get the trophy the way they’re ant it then you don’t deserve it
@@ManlyPelican yeah man exactly what I think, I went through it the hard way and raged and struggled but was so proud when I did it and the trophy popped and now seeing everyone can get it makes me sad man
@Tivo Hev we aren't losing sleep over it but you don't have to do that trophy for the plat. If you are going for that trophy you are saying you want a challenge and are ready to take on the hardest stuff the game has to offer. To do this makes the whole experience pointless.
@Tivo Hev well I enjoyed it for being that that hard but I think it's just a bit unfair that people would play it with all these easy settings and still get the trophy
Also, the rat king fight is made much easier if you find the flamethrower. If you do, save it for that fight. Don't waste any of it on any other enemy.
Also conserving hunting pistol ammo 😁👍🏻
@@animecentral7575 and the incendiary shells
@@Ori_Kohav and pipe bombs
@@animecentral7575 yeah, definitely the pipe bombs, since they also stagger the rat king
Great video for those who absolutely just want a taste of Grounded and still want the trophy! You don’t have to turn all of those option on, those are just tips! Thank you for letting us know about Grounded (Dan’s Version)
Why do I feel like Grounded is now just Baby Mode after this video? Thank you so much Wolf for the tips and tricks! Now I’m definitely going to Platinum TLoU2!!!
love that video and i could listen to you for hours, such a calm voice :) didnt know about the prone,.. thats so helpful.
"You appeal to my vanity, Mehlomat!" In all seriousness, thank you for the kind words, and glad this was helpful!
@@WolfofThorns hehe so much welcome :)
We love a Wolf video
I love a Remee comment
Still works u just got to press no when it shows the option to reset it
bro saved my life, i shouldve done this before i started it man
Keep up the great videos, bud. I’m really looking forward to the the 24-hour stream you plan to do on June 19th.
Thanks, Elijah!
When you change the settings it doesnt really feel like that you are playing grounded mode and you dont feel proud when getting the trophie
I guess it's if you want to brag that you got it even though you really didn't
@@charlieniven6558 yea kinda
What sucks is that because of this video the success rate is going to be higher even though most of the players didn't actually achieve anything
@@charlieniven6558 yeah, but actually this channel is not that popular but still
@@charlieniven6558 as l checked rn the rate is 0.9 and in the video was 0.8 so ldk
no shot those are real options, that makes it so easy, I'm stuck at the Eastbrook elementary, Gon try this out
Stuck too on that part. Grounded plus. So frustrating
Leaving love in the comments
Thank you, durrBubbles!
Just got the grounded trophy today because of this. Thank you so much.
I played this game finally for the 1st time from start to the very end, and this platinum are really easy. I want to give grounded a try but i am not a horror type of guy and also not a survival gamer but ill give it a shot. It`s really a very nice and amazing game to play and i love this gameplay. thanks for the tips bro!!
My pleasure, Rupert!
Oooo thank you very much! Just started grounded mode today and found the clickers to be even more of a nuisance. This will certainly make it easier!
Glad this is helpful, Ashleigh
You’re an absolute legend for this! Thank you 😅
wish i knew this before i beat grounded
I just finished Grounded+ with most of these settings and it worked out pretty well for me. Trophy popped up. Thanks to that enhanced listen mode and invisible while prone, the playthrough was a breeze. Especially in the last encounter at the resort in Catalina Island (which can be a nightmare) I was able to sneak past every Rattler while prone without fighting them.
Now try it normally without listen mode and invisible while prone.
Let’s remember it’s meant for your enjoyment. Thank you for this video.
All of those but on very light are a dream come true
Got to the last encounter of the game until I realised this was an option 😅
I just got the tlou 1 platinum , maybe i can do it on tlou2 too. This actually inspired me to replay the game , thanks!
This is awesome because I'm going to try to do as much of it as legit as possible but nice to know there are options if I get stuck. I imagine you can change these at any time?
Did you do this on the remastered version on the ps5?
There is a glitch you can do where you can just put all the tweaks on , stuff like infinite ammo, one shot kill, infinite materials
how
Rat king tip: Dont use any explosives or fire related weapons as Abby, or high caliber. Save all your powerful weapons for him. Stealth the rest of the way
Great tips. This is how I play Abby
Thanks!
I've just finished the normal Grounded+ game and this came in my recommendation... Nice
But at least I can say I played it Properly
On my grounded+ playthrough now, love the ai on this difficulty
Did u get the trophy on grounded plus?
Amazing! Can’t express how much this video helped me
I have also learned (not personally confirmed yet, but confirmed by others recently) that as long as you get to the “Seattle day, one” chapter title screen:
Quit the game (you cannot manually, save and grounded, but it will have auto saved at that point)
Go to the main menu and navigate to where you can play an “encounter” - there should be only 2 choices if you just started Seattle day 1, chose any difficulty that ISN'T grounded.
In the encounter, pause. Extras. Gameplay modifiers. Switch on whatever you want - infinite ammo, infinate crafting, etc. Quit the encounter.
From the main menu start back up the grounded play through and all the modifiers will be ACTIVE.
I confirmed that the cheats are working in grounded as of TODAY. What I don’t yet know is if I will get the trophy when I’m done the playthrough.
Well did it work?
@@MrLoverman7134 Oh yeah!! ruclips.net/user/liver1G5CRPG8Ps?si=TJh5Tqt7Gs8hc58N&t=4184
The next thing you can and should do is go through the extras tab on the menu and then "game modifiers" and get the "unlimited craftables and ammo 1 hit melee attacks and 1 shot deaths. This will allow you to survive longer and not need to worry about picking up items while playing
Those are disabled on grounded
Man I got this trophy legit without these settings!! It’s was a tough week to get that trophy, let me tell you, wish I seen this video sooner haha, could’ve saved time
Congrats, boss. Same here but Got stuck on the part were Ellie has to fight with Seraphites. I died and reset countless now. So i feel like i need to cheat and hack my way around. I wish i got the balls to muscle through the pain just like you.
Im happy that i beat grounded on both games without tutorials. My biggest struggle was the fight in which ellie is FORCED to fight several stalkers, a clicker, and at least 1 of the 2 shamblers. Truly difficult
I love the game and have Ellie and Abby and their weapons max and these are great tips but I don’t think I will use them.
Yoda: "Your weapons, you will not need them."
Game is nice. I will try this. Hope it works in the remastered version. Im playing a run on normal mode but do have a thing for when games will let you bullshit your way through them like subnaticas in game cheats menu. But i do got to say i will be only using these for grounded and will be doing all the collectibles on normal.
Dude, you know one thing or two.... that's such a good video. Thx ^^
I might actually have fun on grounded, now lmao
Did you get the platinum trophy with this?
There's an exploit that acutally allows you to play Grounded difficulty with cheats on. It was so nice to kill everyone on one hit, including the Rat king boss.. Had the trophy done in 4 hours.
Thank you bro for helping me i really used your advice and so far everything is fine
Oh my God, thank you, I just spent like 3 hours of my life on a stupid part where I had to fight a bunch of infected, I kept running out of bullet. Thank you!
Beat TLOU1 on grounded like a breeze because I had underestimated myself and played normal THROUGH grounded, thinking I couldn't take on the challenge. But by the time I reached grounded, I was already a good shot and played with near nothing.
But grounded plus? Fucking insane. If you get up and move slightly, clickers will fkn hear you immediately and come towards ya.
Definitely gonna use some of these just so it's not so damn crazy
Grounded plus on first game doesnt get any harder idk about second game tho. I just played grounded and grounded plus and its exactly the same
@@fuadrahman2783 wrong plus is slightly harder
@@jasonadersonwedion9874 well clearly not enough to make a difference then
@@fuadrahman2783 it does there more enemies in plus and are harder to kill
@@jasonadersonwedion9874 well I’m just too good clearly then because it didn’t make slight difference for me
I always turn invisible while prone on in the Ellie boss fight against Abby because it makes me way too nervous 😅
I started Grounded mode to do it legit, however I ran into an infuriating circumstance. Everything i would collect, the game would not register it! I’d pick up explosives only to see i had ZERO explosives! I didnt want to restart the whole thing so I persevered…its not better with Abby. Every alcohol i picked up would not register! Ive never been so pissed at the games defect.
After playing grounded mode on my ps4... I made up my mind to go on a naughty dog killing spree.... u just saved me from my own mind...
why am i seeing this after i’ve already cried like 20 times bc i couldn’t finish a fight on grounded😭
Was expecting this video to give some tips and tricks, but instead I gave me some straight up cheats, not complaining just pointing it out. 10/10 video
I played my first playthrough on "Hard" difficulty with agressive playstyle killing every enemy. I found it so easy that I just decided to crawl through the next couple playthroughs to get my 100 %. Needles to say, but I enjoyed the first game much more than this...
Playing through it on moderate and loot every area. I do stealth kills whenever and do find myself full with supplies a lot. Guess moderate was made for people who just run and gun the game like its cod. Im in seattle day 2 with 11 hours in.
Hooray! Baby Mode Players UNITE! And I might actually give Grounded a go using this method!!! Thanks for sharing the secrets to not getting your face ripped off! Question - can you get past the dogs if you choose "invisible while prone," or can they still sniff you out?
I honestly can't remember, but because no one an see you until they "step on you" I **do** remember shooting some dogs and their owners very up close while prone
There is no baby mode method for the Grounded mode trophy on The Last of us Part 1. So anyone who wants that trophy has to do it the normal way. lol l already have it, and wasn't too bad. But l would see Grounded mode being much MUCH harder on part 2 if it was done legit.
That would of actually made a HILARIOUS Trophy though honestly. Finish the entire game on Baby mode with all optional settings turned on LOL
I wish I had this 8 months ago, when I did it. Thank you for lettig other people beat the game on grounded.
I know I’m a year late, but this will really help me. Thank you :)
Very Helpful... Time to put this to the test.
Good luck!
did it pop ?
I got the trophy on Grounded+ with “Game modification”. I enabled Infinite ammo and crafting with sun glitch. I’ll do another grounded game but without the cheats this time.
Do you remember when the trophy popped?
Edit: I got it a while ago, the trophy pops as soon as the credits are over and yes you can skip them and get the trophy
after finishing the game, and after the credits, when you load up in the starting screen/the boat is when i got it
@@MrLoverman7134
If you loading into a any game, save that allows you to do game modifications, like infinite ammo, toggle those and then go into your grounded save it won’t untag those
This will gonna help me when i am gonna do my own grounded playthrough
"A walk in the park" as she enters the park haha nice! YUMMY RAT KING
Yes! Just serve him with tortilla chips, am I right?
@@WolfofThorns mwah *chefs kiss
I love it. Great job dude!
Did you do it on the remastered version on ps5?
Something I have immense difficulty with is crossing the sky bridge with Abby...no matter how hard I try, I always fall several times before making it
@@CD-of4gb as much as I use the accessibility options, I didn't notice that one, thanks
Really? I thought that part was easy as hell. I didn't fall even once, and l only played the game once. I passed it first try
Absolute Legend, I did this grounded mode legit last year and it took years off my life haha, created a new account just to Plat this game again as I love it - finishing up Hard just now and will do this method for the Grounded+
bro its very helpful THNX today im really tired of how smart this ai is in the game MAN THEY CAN SEE ME EVERWHERE LOL
Defeats the purpose of Grounded.
I’ve been on this one part of Seattle day 3 for two weeks now, I think it’s time to stop my suffering.
bruh. I just died like 5 times at the first clicker section of the game on permadeath. I’m crawling my way to victory from now on
did the trophy pop?
@@nedmccann5381 yeah it did. It’s still very hard in some sections but doable
@@iambrandonpoo thanks. I'm on it now! Wanted to make sure it pops before I do the whole thing 😂 I did try to do this legit yesterday but I ended up rage quitting 😅 it's way harder than part 1 grounded
@@nedmccann5381 yeah the absolute hardest part for me was right before you have to fight the big women with the pickaxe and the part after that. I did that part so so many times. You really have to learn how time and dodge in the woods
Bless your heart for this ❤
Very useful.
I like challenges, what I don't like is doing the same fight 40 times (not ironically) just because you got headshot just because you missed that last arrow after spending 15 minutes trying to stealthily kill enemies.
The first run must be played on Very Easy to enjoy the story, get upgrades and all the collectibles. Grounded must be left for the second run onwards.
The question is, will this still work on the remaster?
it works on the remaster
Love this tip man for the people that need it it'll really help them but tbh it kinda pulls me from my experience but i understand that im just extra
Right on, right on--I also dropped this video about approaching grounded the proper way last week: ruclips.net/video/aG3DDwHwu_w/видео.html
Even though I went through hell going in without a clue, I still wish I knew this
I don’t think you have these options on the remastered version 😭😭
I subbed, heres some love
Thank you for the sub and the love, Rae! And, most importantly, welcome to the haunting and beautiful world of The Last of Us!
