Finally decided to go back and platinum all the RE games for October. Your videos for REmake and Zero have been amazingly helpful. I've been making notes of this for when i start CVX next. Fun fact about CVX, 28 minutes of the play time is door animations, and that's NTSC and going through the least amount of doors necessary, on PAL it's closer to 40, even longer if you don't have an optimised route. You play these older games with door skip mods and you can basically walk the whole game and still have time to spare on the fastest required time for unlocks, it's ridiculous.
You uploaded this just in time! I’ve been marathoning all the RE games over the last few weeks to gear up for RE8. I’ve used your guides for 0 and 1 and they were incredibly helpful. As someone who isn’t used to tank controls and hasn’t the first clue of how to go about this game since I haven’t played it before, I’m incredibly thankful for your guides!
I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! You have helped me officially get through the first half of the game for the A rank, and then I only have to finish with the A rank for Wesker and I’ve got the platinum trophy!
Am I glad to see this. I used your video guides for 0 and 1 and am getting ready to start Code Veronica and there’s not a lot of “good” videos out there for CV. You obviously put a lot of work in these runs and give well detailed info as you go along. Keep up the good work my man.
Nice! Code Veronica is the only “core” RE game I haven’t played, might as well tackle the 100% when I eventually do! Adding this to Watch Later list 👍🏽
Took about 8 playthroughs and a lot of save reloading to try different things just to get to this point xD Ive still gotta do battle mode yet though m8, thats the main story done though so a weight of my shoulders ;)
Thanks for the amazing walkthrough! I just finished part 1 tonight and will do part 2 tomorrow. I’ve played the game multiple times, but it’s been many years, so your guide has been VERY helpful. Hopefully I finish the rest tomorrow. Thanks again! :)
One thing I like about the Everyman's guides that you (and Darkness who got me through RE2 s ranks) do is that 1. you are very entertaining, i'm watching the video through before I even start my second run to go for A rank, and 2. you show that it's okay to mess up! Even on this slower version of the game. I got my copy on the PS store so I don't know what version I have, but it's good to know that either way I have time
Definitely the best guides out there and commentary is amazing. I was shitting my pants thinking I would die on one of the tyrants but you made it sooo easy. You the man Opti! On to part 2...
Zombies could not resist claires neck in my game jeez i have like 4 herbs left over. This is my 2nd attempt and my 1st one was soo much better. Great guides tho
I played this game over and over again and I already obtained the rank A and infinite launcher years ago. What I discovered in subsequent new games, if you complied all requirements for rank A and still used the infinite launcher, you'll only get a rank B. I guess using special weapons like infinite launcher will also lower your rank
Thanks mate, I thought this was pretty well done as it is the only 100% guide, that also gets every other trophy at the same time but it just gets overlooked a lot for whatever reason Maybe it looks too long, as speedrunners are much quicker. Fact is though, the speedrunners all play the quicker NA versions which run like 30% quicker. So despite this walkthrough being over 3 hours, its actually just over 2 hours, I just never cared too much about buying the NA version just so I can do the quicker version of it. Covering the slowest and hardest version covers every base
still plowing through the series and still coming here as my first stop to any and all resident evil playthroughs. i havent started this yet but wanted to include an interesting tidbit for anyone who like me hasnt started yet. for some reason if you sit on the title screen long enough, you unlock a trophy for upgrading a gun called M93R lol. i was busy tweeting out my next game and i suppose it triggered from one of those demo footages that sometimes play in older games when sitting on the title screen too long. i was laughing so hard when it popped.
Did it first attempt thanks alot man, I'm gonna do part 2 tomorrow. I gotta say that it's such a relief when you mess up 😂, because it shows that you don't need a perfect run. For example you forgot to discard the card so I used that as an opportunity to grab the extra 10 explosive cross bow bolts. You know that one dislike on your video came from some kid who died on the tyrant fight 😂😂😂😂.
Hopefully I can lend a hand, we don't use sniper on the Nosfer btw, we just run away and shoot with 200 x HG bullets out the way of danger, let the auto lock-on do its job rather than our poor sniping skills xD
First of all, thanks for the video. I bring important information about the timer, because there is a lot of confusing information on the internet. If you press L1+ the right pad, the timer does not stop. The timer only actually stops by pressing the PS4 home button. I just finished pressing the home button and it worked fine, so good luck guys.
The good think with you it's that as long you play with your guides you make the player better,yeah bro just I did the first one exactly like you cheers
Do you think?? Its hard to me to tell as I am sorta just explaining what I think to be easier through experience. I guess I select stuff that is easier to master, so should help you to become good more optimally rather than keep dying while trting stuff that wont even work xD
@@Optinooby that's exactly I am gonna say you can understand how hard is that you do cause you make it be so easy as 4 months that you are my only buddy guider really I see my self be better player now I am playing 2nd part of code veronica looks more easy than the zero bro
Thanks appreciate it bud ;) Yea CVX is pretty easy when done this way, and Im perhaps a bit better at routing since ZERO if im honest ;) Thing is the Battle Games are going to be very hard if you are EU, and unfortunately I cant help much there as they are very skilled best. I mean I do my best, but they will take some practice.
Well, unfortunately I misunderstood the information for the final Tyrant on the plane 🤦🏻♂️ and I used all my ammo before launching him because I thought he had to drop to his knees or something. Lmao I did what you said but I guess a shot missed or something and so when I interacted with the console, it said I still had to defeat the Tyrant. And that's when I thought I misunderstood the information you gave out 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ hopefully the rest of the run goes well and I haven't screwed myself lol time will tell, love your videos by the by! They're a tremendous help!!
@@Optinooby luckily I’m in USA. Battle does look hard though. I watched those already. Probably going to finish first part of speed run and take a break. Almost done with Revelations too. Long haired/ fat Chris lol. Really just need to try insanity difficulty. I did a little Raid but not enjoying the grind.
Oh yea fat Chris XD, forgot about him CVX should be somewhat easy then m8 for u... I hope! Ive heard Raid Mode on Rev is real good, but I h8 forced online trophies
@@Optinooby and it’s around 700 or so achievement points for Raid. Very disappointing. I would absolutely enjoy the rest of your reaction to the game lol. I know it might not be worth your time. But A lot more scenes with Raymond (joker), Fat Chris and Jessica. It’s a very creepy yet silly game.
Well I attempted. And the good news is your guide is super helpful to beat the game. Bad news is I am horrible at tank controls. So I gave up on the speed run portion. Just playing for fun and the other achievements this round. I’ll probably revisit at some point in the future to speed run it. Those older RE games are rough to control.
I am writing this comment so far in frustration I got up to about the 30 minute mark Had to use up all my herbs and apparently did not have a slot free for the emblem Time to give up and try again later Who ever decided to not have a way to pause the timer in this game and re1 I hate them but so far your guides seem good it's just a lack of skill and nerves on my part letting me down
Funny that i had the last trophy on mgs 3 king of the jungle but the disc drive is not working anymore and i decided to go for the digital games and fix it later i had resident evil super bundle on ps3 and since i decide to plat all the games i own i started with classic and i found you having a guide thats just amazing. Thanks!
You are the first person I have ever heard to dislike Resident Evil 3. Why? I am not sure. But you're entitled to your opinion. Thank you for the walk-through!
I liked the playthrough but experienced a little bit of video and audio delay. Is it just me that's seeing that, doesn't bother me Great walkthrough I always love watching someone play 100% and showing best strategies and trophies in games. Good job mate!
No it's the video mate, big apologies for it, I fixed what I could. I recorded this in 2 half's,the 2nd part when I got to editing, the audio was all out of synch. I tried to fix it with what I had, you may have noticed at times, it seems to start going bad, then gets right again. What I did watch cut the audio and try to line it up every 10 mins or so so I didn't get too bad. I did consider running it all again, to be honest I probably should have..but I was hoping it's still ok to follow Sorry mate
@@Optinooby No worries buddy it was still watchable, still managed to keep up with it, I always find it difficult to line audio and video up together I tried it with gameplay a while back but the video was really out of sync by like 10 seconds.
I got bit by a bunch of zombies that you didn't but then I also avoided hits from the long armed fucks and other enemies that you did get hit by. That first bandersnatch didn't touch me a single time. Somehow.
Wish I had this guide back in 2001... The 12-year-old me actually beat it with no guide or internet; don’t remember the ending, but I remember that Steve guy was annoying as hell.
I did first part of the game with the herb glitch, following this guide step by step, im playing on ps5 and i am using my home button to pause it everytime i want to follow ur video... i just hope it really does pause the game... i usually pause my game going through the door animation and when i start the game back on the animation is still of the door so i guess we good
Yea i think that pauses it if done during the door animation, dis i mention that here? Dont think i thought of it until this guide, but could be useful for 1 ans zero
@Optinooby yes you did mention it in the video, for Re1 i did the youtube opening trick whenever i wanted to pause and it worked :)) but its annoying to open youtube again and again this home button one is more quick.
I think you can pause the game and the timer holding the L1 and the start button (the right half of the mouse pad on the controller, someone can confirm this, because a pause screen appears so maybe the game is saying that the timer is also paused. It works on the ps2 and ps4 versions, not sure about the ps3.
oh, ok thanks for the reply, I'll use this video along with the glitch of the infinite herb, it should make things easier, I'm using your videos to platinum the classic resident evil ones did resident evil zero, now doing invisible enemy in the remake and then afterwards code veronica. Thank you for the guides. (And sorry for any grammatical mistakes)
Going to use this guide and get started. Quick thing - on the playlist for these videos you’ve got a SOLID SNAKE VIDEO lmao. It’s a good meme but just for your heads up haha.
@@Optinooby I see you removed it haha. It did fit in with the playlist. One minute it was RE and then a random BOX and ! Appeared. I think you did it on purpose 😉📦❗️
Does anyone know if there is a way to pause the timer on Xbox One like you can with the PS4 version on PS5? I'm playing the 360 version on Xbox One X and being able to stop the timer to check a guide or just to take a moment to chill during a stressful section would change this run from days and days of trying and re-trying to more like a day for the first half and another for the second.
Let's goooooo! I just got Code Veronica today 5/16/23 and it was $3.99 on sale in the xbox Microsoft Store. I'm so happy it came back on sale, NOW! keep in mind this will be my very first resident evil game that has that classic camera movement style. This is something I'm going to get used to lmao. From RE3 Remake to CV yea big change in gameplay. Wish me luck to get used to the old style camera. I'm going to watch this and play this on Friday or Saturday... man, I need to hurry up and finish RE3 S Rank Assisted ASAP so I can jump to CV. :)))) Edit: I wonder the game will pause if I go to xbox homepage?
Hi: Little Update I been so busy with my hours cause of work, and I have a sore throat since last Saturday, and I just played CV first time I exited the game cause, One: When I go to Xbox home page the game doesn't pause. :(((, and two: the joystick movement is going to get used too going into a straight line, I got bit alot in the first line once you enter the graveyard after the cutscene. I'll he taking my time to get used to the movement. After I beat my game blind I'll be coming back to this video. I told you this is my first RE game with the classic movement system and the first 5 mins I wasted time cause it's hard to walk lmao.
5:55 I think it does not work this way. I followed this game from the beginning to the end and the counter showed 7:45 total time. Going to PS home/desktop pauses the game events (characters movements, opening doors, etc.) but does not pause game-time. I suppose this idea/hypothesis come from tests made during the game's moments where it auto-pauses the game-time i.e. cutscenes, perhaps also opening the doors.
I cant recall exactly but pretty sure i tested at the end and kept completing the game to check the time changes after each text, or used save files to test. Cant remember where the time can be seen, but would have used that in order to test
I've just playing it aiming to get this A Rank and then after some time I (or "we" as I am following a guide) met a worm, which I assume is one-hit death thing. Fortunately I escaped. Are there more situations like this i.e. one-hit death in this game? If so, I'd rather play with saves, I don't have time to repeat a game from the scratch... Also, I read there are "some" checkpoints but I have not found any list where exactly they exist, nor how to use them as I also encountered some notifications in the net that I cannot use 'retry', but then if I do not use it and go to main menu, how can I reload such a checkpoint? Is it not forever lost if I exit to main menu? Optinoob, are you able to you answer my questions to some extent, please ;) ?
@@ennuiarduous6446 I forget everything exactly, but think is 1 save, and that is right in the middle. You can reload that of course. So you would be doing the game in 2 halves basically
@@Optinooby ok, I understand. As much as I see on the web, checkpoints appear right before a boss a player can 'retry' - although I do not know if that's different from 'continue form save after you died' and if that's impacts the A run. I see there's ont save at the end of this video "allowed" to be done but that's yet not enough to me if I can be killed with one shot/strike (like from a tyrant) and then repeat 1h of the game. You can say I'm too old for that =] or that I got like 2-5h of free time for gaming during the week and I'd like to use it as a relaxing fun, not a fight against the game. Ye, the "old" fits here perfectly then ;)
@@ennuiarduous6446 You can maybe do that, im not saying there isnt checkpoints,, but for the A rank, dont think you're allowed to use checkpoints or save your game. But the game makes 1 save for you midway and thats the only one you can use. So you can use checkpoints if you want for practise. Then once you have practised it, playthrough again using only the midway save. If there was a better way, we would be doing here, I wouldnt make things harder for you. It should be all explained in the video. Best to stick with the other guides you're reading because as you can see, there information is contradicting with mine, and i don't really remember enough to keep giving you the proper answers. Use the checkpoints if you wish, but that will stop the A rank or something else required for Platinum
@@Optinoobythanks man, I've just finished the game, nice reminder of PS2 times ;) I started using saves from appx 50th minute of walkthrough and it was a brilliant idea as I died twice, tho in 2nd part - Steve killed me and Alexia during first encounter after she shown her changed form (I had only left acid grenades which were inefficient vs her so I had to kill her with just a couple of bullets and a knife). Anyway, using saves made my game experience relaxing, earlier I had irritating thought in my head - if I die, I will never finish the game cause there's no way I'm going to start from scratch. First part is easy, probably only worm section can kill you as it is one blow kill, however part two (Antarctica) has many places where I found myself to be in dire straits, including at least three of one-shot kill
Nothing u can do m8 to pause the door opening animation, if u can get that to stop, should mean the timer is paused?? Thats all I can say really, how to identify if its paused, ive not played Xbox for a long time so cant say for sure what may or may not work Do u have rest mode?
@@Optinooby thank you for the quick reply and the amazing videos 🙏🏼 there is no sleep mode unfortunately. I guess I’ll keep trying different things but nothings worked so far. Keep up the great work!
@@mattymartini I dont have a xbox, bu t maybe you could try opening some streaming app like Netflix or Amazon Prime, it usually suspends the game youre currently playing. Hope that helps.
I have not yet tried a full run to really check. Will also be a little while until I actually try a full run. Want to do a couple other RE games first. But if you quickly open the guide and open RUclips. Then the door animation does stop on a series X. So hopefully that means the timer actually stops to. Again, I can’t verify it yet though. But it is definitely a good sign of hope :-) Unless for whatever reason the Xbox version is different, then the timer should stop by doing that:-) I have left the game unfinished for so long since I have a terrible memory and would not be able to do a full speed run without doing 100’s of runs. So the RUclips trick definitely excites me. Will be using this guide when I get to it:-D
If the door animation pauses, then is pauses the timer. The door animation can't be paused just like the timer, that's why I use it as an indication, I pause the door, u pause the timer!
I feel I routed this pretty well, it's the only guide out there that does all trophies in 1 playthrough, all the other guides for Campaign are only for the ranking, none go for all trophies at once. The route needs changing quite a bit for all trophies due to files need collecting and stuff Doesn't rocket launcher void the best rank??
Just finished recording P2, will go up tomorrow, came in at 03:16:00. Thought I would be about 10 mins quicker if im honest, but think thats ok. That time is the equivalent of probably 02:25:00 or so on the NTSC version. Battle Mode guides will go up a bit later, going to get back to RE5 now, finish that, then come back and finish the Battle Mode for this. Guess thats the main story done though, so can relax a bit now and not have to worry abt remembering everything xD
I have it fully downloaded in my ps4 and seven other games aswell i haven't play there, in my case i better switch console cause my internet takes aaalllmost a whole day or more depending the size GBS Are exagerated these days to download a game... the only thing i treasure on the ps4 is the installed theme of kingdom hearts 3 remind it has icons, sound, pic on the background and music Which PS5 Lack You Can't Customize the PS5 To My Knowledge
Hey optinoob your a legend and a re god i got re 0 , 7 , 8 , 2 , 3 ,4 remake platinum from your playthroughs and now im gonna get code veronica but there is something that i want to know how to stop the in game timer on ps5 ? I searched alot and didnt find an answer
Hey, Opti! About to start another great guide of yours and I have a question about this one: do I need to press the PS button only when opening doors or that was just to make sure the game paused? I've seen in another guides that it only works when suspending the app (by opening RUclips, for example), so I'm not sure. Thanks!!!
Hi mate, yea that is just a confirmation if you yourself are unsure. Basically the timer is always running unless you rest mode it or open a media app which will suspend the game app. The opening the door trick is just to confirm the timer is paused, the opening door scene is unpauseable, so if you have another idea that can pause that just like rest mode and a media app does, then try it. A media app or rest mode will pause the timer, the door trick is just a confirmation sort of thing
@@Optinooby just finished part 1 and I was sooo scared with that tyrant at the end, haha. But it all went just like you said: nice and easy. I was actually very impressed that it worked so well! Thank you so much, you're the best :D Your RE0 and RE1 guides prepared me for this moment, lol
First half done Current list of what I fucked up Used up pretty much every single healing herb Used the grenade launcher against tyrant 2 instead of the bow gun due to panic and pretty much started the next part in yellow health So yeah I hope I don't have to play the first part again because whoever designed this game with no proper pause mechanic apparently likes people to have heart attacks while playing Needless to say time to wait a week before attempting part 2 and your guide helped a lot even though I ran into like every single zombie like they were offering free hugs
Hey m8, sure I will be at some point ;), this and RE5 for now though. You're not the first to request RE4 and I likely would have never done CVX if nobody asked!!!
I was following your walkthrough and was doing great up until the final tyrant in the cargo plane. I did exactly as you said, fired 2 bow rounds and 7 fire arrows. But by the time I was finished he was already in my face and stun locking me. I didn’t realize that you needed to push that button to end the fight. I thought you waited until he dropped to knees then hit the button like in previous resident evil games. I ended up spamming so much ammo so I’m left with 0 fire bow rounds and 9 grenade rounds going into the 2nd part. Luckily I have the infinite herb. Wish me luck I don’t know if I will get through the 2nd part with limited ammo…. Also why are we collecting so much pistol ammo? I must have missed somewhere where you explain why.
There will be a reason for it, everything is always carefully planned. Though if the reason isnt clear then its perhaps just to give you guys more to play with as i cant predict how accurate each person will be ;)
Hey buddy. Your battle game tips were a Godsend. Especially with Chris and Alexia stucking in the corner. I A rank it with like 10 seconds to spare. Thank You. I don't know if you read this but if you do, are you 100% sure that the ps4/ps5 home screen pause the timer? Because I'm about to start a new game while watching your video and nobody else online mentioned the trick, everybody is saying that only rest mode and opening another application works. But your trick is way faster and easier so I'm suprised why it is not mentioned anywhere else. I tried it myself and it does pause the game during cutscenes and doors but I'm unsure if it stops the timer. Now i know I'm asking too much because there is no way to see the timer until you finish the game itself but if you have tested it and you know it works, it will be extremely helpful. Again thank you for your guides and I'm going to start the run.
Hi mate, yea I can't remember exactly,, but if I say something works or doesn't work, I would have tested it myself and not just copy others websites like most do. A lot of sites don't test everything, they just go with the common info and don't test further, and copy others. This happens a lot unfortunately What are you asking for, the Battle Games or Main Game??
@@Optinooby Thanks for replying. I'm asking about the main game, if I use the ps4 home screen trick and take breaks every now and then like before the boss fights, while this stop the timer? Or will it add to the timer despite the game pausing?
@@Optinooby Ok. Thanks. I will try your guide and see. 3:16 hours is excellent and with plenty of time to spare so even if I take a few breaks now and then, I should be able to reach the 4 hour mark, especially with the infinite herb glitch. You have my gratitude.
That 3 hours 16 is the equivalent of about 2 hours 10 if you're on the NTSC version Sorry I can't say more on it mate, I just don't remember, that's why I mention it all in the commentary
Campaign, simple with my guide m8, we even do ALL campaign trophies in a SINGLE playthrough, still with over an hour to spare (EU) Battle games though, even with my guides, its still going to take practice m8 especially on EU and thats where most thw difficulty comes from U can make campaign easu with a good guide as we do here, the battle games takes practice no matter It is hare, but doable, I do the EU battle games here with 10 secs to spare so hasnt gotta be perfect. Its those little things that add up, like opening ur inventory a single time can consume 20 secs believe it or not!!
@@Optinooby I will see dude , but i trust you i played your RE7 FF8 guide and i say fuck that was crazy;) good for me in 2steps i have a guide and learn more english. I think next guide from you i played is dragons dogma. Hope you make The Witcher3 guide in future.
FF8 damn, that was a long one right ;), thanks for holding through ;) Ive have a text platinum walkthrough for TW3 which I did about 5 or so years ago. I am planning to do a video walkthrough for it, but im waiting for the PS5 upgrade ;)
I normally do a blind playthrough in every RE before going for trophies, but I've heard horror stories about easily screwed over yourself in this if you don't know it. Should I bother with a blind run in this?
i Was Testing the infinite herb glitch Is So Easy To Do And Right From The Start. 3 mixed herbs aswell at Start And Now i Want To Know iF you Can use the herb without Going into the menu
So. On the door animation a press the PS button and that stop the time? Cuz I hear that you need to open a application like RUclips to pause the timer. You playing on PS5. So this work on PS4 as well?
The app thing is quite an old thing, I think Sony released updates since where the PS menu or Rest Mode suspended stuff, also different games work differently, some games may need the suspend app if thats still a thing, other games may just need PS menu What I was trying to say here about the door opening thing is that that is a unskippable animation as it is loading, no in game pause or nothing, so if u can perform a action which PAUSES the door opening animation, then that will have properly stopped the game along with the timer. That is how u can be sure what u are doing is stopping it. Rest Mode will defo suspend it
You have to press the PS buttom and enter the full PS menu. If u wanna make sure, do it when a door is opening, if the animation stops, them it pauses the game. Other than that m8, no, its the only way, the older REs had really annoying timers
@@Glenjamin89 Oh yes of course, the timing will just be much easier in your case!! This 3 hours 40 whatever it is total, is more like 2 hours 20 on the US version!!
Hey there mate!!! How are you do doing? Im preparing to plat this since today I should finish with RE3 (what a game!!! super short but incredibly funny!!!)! So you're playing EU version on ps5? those are my exact conditions too... So can u confirm me that going on the main menu will stop the timer? this would help me a lot since I could check the guide while running instead of learning all by memory like I did for RE0 and RE1HD!
Hey m8, it stops it on PS5 yea, going to PS5 main menu, I tested as well at the end of the game. I havent tested on PS4 but effectively should be the same. Do it when the door animation between rooms begins, and if it stops the door animation, then it pauses the timer!
@@Optinooby cool I'll totally looking forward for em then! Another little question... do they implemented auto-aim and modern style movement like in the other games?
Hey man I'm doing the speedrun now and I'm curious, once you get your half point save, can you turn off the game and continue later or does it have to be in 1 sitting?
Yes mate, once you get that halfway save, you're free to lob your system out the window. Then resume your save once you realise you need your treasure back
I really want the platinum in this game, but I gave up immediately because of the controls. I have the same version as you, but it is difficult. How do you move the character like this? Tell me please 😭
I have a question, on this platinum speeding why don't you go for the magnum? I heard him say he won't get it on this run, could you opt to get it anyway? Or does that ruin your run somehow?
@@Optinooby Thank you for the prompt reply! It was at 12:55 , you said you didn't grab the magnum, cause you didn't "need it" , what I was wondering is if one were to instead try to get it, would deviate the game from giving me an A rank and/or add too much time to the speed run? I appreciate your time in giving us these fantastic platinum walkthroughs over many PlayStation games!!
Oh yea just had a quick Google for reminder The Magnum would be a nightmare to get now because you need the Extinguisher and if I remember, it's right back at the beginning, plus it requires you to enter a few rooms with annoying enemies you may have to kill We still make the game as easy as can be without it I carefully plan out these routes, nothing is just done without careful consideration without testing other stuff. If we don't get the Magnum, it's because the risk, time, ammo used or whatever getting it is more of a problem than how helpful the Magnum would have been, basically the risk is not worth it!
Followed this guide right up to the tyrant on the plane. Fired the 2 B.O.W rounds and the 7 bow gun arrows and tried to hit the button but tyrant was on Claire immediately before I got the chance. He cornered me and I tried to kill him but I got the retry screen. I don't know what happened. I was so pissed. :( I don't know if I'll get this platinum. Its seem too difficult even with your guide. The requirements to get A rank is rediculous in my opinion.
Thats crap m8, and means u must start all again doesnt it. This worked for me always, and I have seen similar strats work for others. I guess it may have just been 1 of those things where you had the worse possible RNG Dont give up, things dont always go to plan, ya just gotta persevere Way I see it, is you have 2 options now; 1. U begin again doing exact same as me and everything should work out. Ive had him catch up to me before, but found it happened if I wasnt quicl enough, I would say u were a little too slow or pike I say, real bad RNG in that 1 of ur shots missed him and messed it up Or 2. You start again, but this time u save before that boss and try him a few times, make sure u have everything right and it works, then once u are happy, start the run again. Yea this way will waste an hr, but at least u can be sure!!
I have just continued on from retry. It put me back to the place where you use the key card to open the shutters. It seems there is a autosave. I am trying to get back to the plane and try the tyrant again but save before it like you suggest. I think its possible that he moved while I was shooting the arrows so they missed him. He was like on Claire in a flash and I could not react in time as I couldn't see him. Anyway thanks for the words of encouragement. I'm looking forward to RE 8. The demo was amazing. What did you think of it?
@@austintse5719oh yea, that will be quicker, retries do void A rank, so after practise, u will need to restart Not had chance to play it yet, Imay play it tomorrow and put a video up on it What did u think??
I think it's going to be one of the best resident evil games. It reminds me of re4 and I think that's going to get a remake too. It's gone a bit supernatural but there must be a T-virus related reason for it. Another demo Sunday at 6pm. I'll watch your video of the demo when you upload it. I got to the tyrant on the plane and I did it perfectly first time. I ended up finishing the game as well. I might try again for A rank but use the glitch as I want to save as much time as possible because the game runs slower.
I hope so, I still prefer the 3rd person ones though. Even though I lived RE3re, it was underwhelming and I guess it would be difficult for RE8 to be worse ;) And worked perfect for ya, flippin A yea, u should be able to pull off A rank. This is on EU anyway and we still have over an hr to spare!
1 Remark: To get S or A rank for Us/eu you HAVE to get Gold Lugers as Chris, without Lugers you will get only B rank (no saves, no 1st aids, Steve/prisoner, and under 4:30, but without Lugers it’s only B rank). Btw great play, I too played on Dreamcast in dinosaurs times 🙋♀️😄
Do I get them here?? I was reading the Official Strategy Guides when making this and can't recall exactly what I read but I don't remember the Gold Luger's being mentioned....
I know Official Guides get it wrong mate, Unofficial Guides get it wrong even more though!! Thing is with Official Guides misinformation is louder is because they 'shouldn't' be getting it wrong!! I will always take Official Guides over Unofficial Guides just because they have there info straight from the Devs and have no Plagiarism inside. Still though, as always, I read any guide with an open mind because I don't like to get things wrong and a lot of the times will still make sure for my own peace of mind!!
@@Optinooby I just did Code Veronica with Luger in 3 and half hours. Again B Rank 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️. I did: 1 safe save when you changes disks, no 1st aids, Steve/prisoner, even obtain magnum as chris. What’s the issue I don’t know. I have 2 points why: 1. I wasn’t in two rooms as Claire: Bathroom/storeroom and didn’t pick up a crossbow. 2. Maybe, I think you can’t obtain A rank with using infinite rocket launcher - it’s only my guess. And the last one I used on Alexia stack of 3 herbs, but I don’t think that any herbs affects. So I don’t know, I think to make a pure test, you have to start clean new game without secret unlocks🤪. But I’m too tired to test it again and again with/without Luger🤓
I should mention it....?? Iirc, I think it's because you can only be instant killed while in Caution or was it Yellow Caution and below? So using one at a time keeps you in Fine and prevents mistakes being made with not healing and getting killed. It's possible a a single heals more than 3 combined as well, can't rembember that though. Most Resi's, a mix is worth more but this could have been different. I think we do use some reds later for a miniboss that sprints at u swiping and u must flee
@@Optinooby ohhh okay. Honestly thought maybe mixed herbs would count against you somehow. Gonna sound lame but I was gonna follow this guide while using the glitched mix herb trick. I apologize for not knowing this 😂 I just got Code Veronica not too long ago and still don't know a lot about it
I can't recall everything, but anything I do here, there is a thought out reason to it, nothing was done on a whim! The route is planned out, it's not a casual route where I just jumped in ;) I allow for the glitch mate, I don't use it, but I advise on it here for anybody who wants to use it when the time comes
Finally decided to go back and platinum all the RE games for October. Your videos for REmake and Zero have been amazingly helpful. I've been making notes of this for when i start CVX next.
Fun fact about CVX, 28 minutes of the play time is door animations, and that's NTSC and going through the least amount of doors necessary, on PAL it's closer to 40, even longer if you don't have an optimised route.
You play these older games with door skip mods and you can basically walk the whole game and still have time to spare on the fastest required time for unlocks, it's ridiculous.
PC gamers got it easy ;)
By far the BEST CV walkthrough, awesome tips that level the playing field when trying to conquer the platinum in the most efficient way.
You uploaded this just in time! I’ve been marathoning all the RE games over the last few weeks to gear up for RE8. I’ve used your guides for 0 and 1 and they were incredibly helpful. As someone who isn’t used to tank controls and hasn’t the first clue of how to go about this game since I haven’t played it before, I’m incredibly thankful for your guides!
Battle guides are on there way, prob in a week or 2 ;)
Cheers, mate. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and Code Veronica are my favorites.
I appreciate the effort and trial-and-error in making this guide!
I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! You have helped me officially get through the first half of the game for the A rank, and then I only have to finish with the A rank for Wesker and I’ve got the platinum trophy!
Am I glad to see this. I used your video guides for 0 and 1 and am getting ready to start Code Veronica and there’s not a lot of “good” videos out there for CV.
You obviously put a lot of work in these runs and give well detailed info as you go along.
Keep up the good work my man.
I've had requests for this slowly throughout the last 12 mths or so, so figured was abt time to deliver xD
Losing runs was quite depressing. Your guide helped tremendously. Thank you kindly and subscribed.😁
Nice! Code Veronica is the only “core” RE game I haven’t played, might as well tackle the 100% when I eventually do! Adding this to Watch Later list 👍🏽
I've already gotten my A rank but im having a good time watching the guide. Cheers, guy
I just got to the second half of the game but now I'm going to restart from the beginning with your guide 🙃🤩🥰
Hope I can make the restart worth it ;)
Glad to see the guide up. That was quick you were only discussing this the other day. Gonna have to download and get this started.
Took about 8 playthroughs and a lot of save reloading to try different things just to get to this point xD
Ive still gotta do battle mode yet though m8, thats the main story done though so a weight of my shoulders ;)
Thanks for the amazing walkthrough! I just finished part 1 tonight and will do part 2 tomorrow. I’ve played the game multiple times, but it’s been many years, so your guide has been VERY helpful. Hopefully I finish the rest tomorrow. Thanks again! :)
Good luck m8, hopefully one day we'll get a remake
How did you do this if you can't save?
U get 1 save halfway through
Made it through the first half! Thanks man, awesome guide. Dreading the boss battles to come but will definitely be following Part 2 to see me through
One thing I like about the Everyman's guides that you (and Darkness who got me through RE2 s ranks) do is that 1. you are very entertaining, i'm watching the video through before I even start my second run to go for A rank, and 2. you show that it's okay to mess up! Even on this slower version of the game.
I got my copy on the PS store so I don't know what version I have, but it's good to know that either way I have time
Definitely the best guides out there and commentary is amazing. I was shitting my pants thinking I would die on one of the tyrants but you made it sooo easy. You the man Opti! On to part 2...
Zombies could not resist claires neck in my game jeez i have like 4 herbs left over. This is my 2nd attempt and my 1st one was soo much better. Great guides tho
I played this game over and over again and I already obtained the rank A and infinite launcher years ago. What I discovered in subsequent new games, if you complied all requirements for rank A and still used the infinite launcher, you'll only get a rank B. I guess using special weapons like infinite launcher will also lower your rank
Just finished the first part, great guides as always Opti, you never fail to deliver. Now to the 2nd.
Being playing a few Resis over the last few months in prep for Resi 4. New to the series and used a few of your guides now, excellent work.
Best channel for platinum walkthroughs!!
this deserves way more likes seeing how many people viewed this. Great guide
Thanks mate, I thought this was pretty well done as it is the only 100% guide, that also gets every other trophy at the same time but it just gets overlooked a lot for whatever reason
Maybe it looks too long, as speedrunners are much quicker. Fact is though, the speedrunners all play the quicker NA versions which run like 30% quicker. So despite this walkthrough being over 3 hours, its actually just over 2 hours, I just never cared too much about buying the NA version just so I can do the quicker version of it.
Covering the slowest and hardest version covers every base
Your commentary is severely underrated. 😆😆
still plowing through the series and still coming here as my first stop to any and all resident evil playthroughs. i havent started this yet but wanted to include an interesting tidbit for anyone who like me hasnt started yet.
for some reason if you sit on the title screen long enough, you unlock a trophy for upgrading a gun called M93R lol. i was busy tweeting out my next game and i suppose it triggered from one of those demo footages that sometimes play in older games when sitting on the title screen too long. i was laughing so hard when it popped.
Finally got my revenge on that boss, thank you! It's so easy once you know what to do like you do.
Did it first attempt thanks alot man, I'm gonna do part 2 tomorrow. I gotta say that it's such a relief when you mess up 😂, because it shows that you don't need a perfect run. For example you forgot to discard the card so I used that as an opportunity to grab the extra 10 explosive cross bow bolts. You know that one dislike on your video came from some kid who died on the tyrant fight 😂😂😂😂.
Did I mess up haha don't remember xD
Yea I don't worry about dislikes as long as it's generally found helpful.
Imma try it in a couple of weeks, already failed 3 times without a guide, I hope that with your guide i manage to get the Trophy
Any update? 😀
@@ranzudezuLRTCI tried and failed because I didn't know that the game wouldn't pause if I opened the menu, I'm gonna try again this week
Use rest mode
@@Optinooby alright I'll try it, thanks for your work mate
I already have the platinum for this game but I'm still dropping by to watch the playthrough
Yay I wasn’t expecting to see this guide so soon! I’ve tried to get A rank a couple times but I always get killed Nosferatu at least once 😂
Hopefully I can lend a hand, we don't use sniper on the Nosfer btw, we just run away and shoot with 200 x HG bullets out the way of danger, let the auto lock-on do its job rather than our poor sniping skills xD
@@Optinooby that sounds perfect since I’m trash with the sniper 😂
Thank you for getting this guide out, I’ve been looking forward to it.
all done with part 1! on to part 2, thank you so much for another helpful guide :)
Finally getting around to this after requesting that you make it! Going from modern games back to tank controls is a nightmare in itself, though. lol
Wow, took you a while, you like to plan ahead lol
@@Optinooby I'm actually just a terrible procrastinator. lol
First of all, thanks for the video. I bring important information about the timer, because there is a lot of confusing information on the internet. If you press L1+ the right pad, the timer does not stop. The timer only actually stops by pressing the PS4 home button. I just finished pressing the home button and it worked fine, so good luck guys.
I think I say this somewhere mate
@@Optinooby yes, you said in the video of part 1, but still I saw some comments from people with doubts. Just wanted to help, and thanks for the video
What about on ps5 ? Do i press home button or do i hold home button? There are 2 types home screen on ps5
The good think with you it's that as long you play with your guides you make the player better,yeah bro just I did the first one exactly like you cheers
Do you think?? Its hard to me to tell as I am sorta just explaining what I think to be easier through experience. I guess I select stuff that is easier to master, so should help you to become good more optimally rather than keep dying while trting stuff that wont even work xD
@@Optinooby that's exactly I am gonna say you can understand how hard is that you do cause you make it be so easy as 4 months that you are my only buddy guider really I see my self be better player now I am playing 2nd part of code veronica looks more easy than the zero bro
Thanks appreciate it bud ;)
Yea CVX is pretty easy when done this way, and Im perhaps a bit better at routing since ZERO if im honest ;)
Thing is the Battle Games are going to be very hard if you are EU, and unfortunately I cant help much there as they are very skilled best. I mean I do my best, but they will take some practice.
Well, unfortunately I misunderstood the information for the final Tyrant on the plane 🤦🏻♂️ and I used all my ammo before launching him because I thought he had to drop to his knees or something. Lmao I did what you said but I guess a shot missed or something and so when I interacted with the console, it said I still had to defeat the Tyrant. And that's when I thought I misunderstood the information you gave out 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ hopefully the rest of the run goes well and I haven't screwed myself lol time will tell, love your videos by the by! They're a tremendous help!!
Great guide. This speedrun makes me nervous. You made it doable. Wish me luck.
Good luck m8, this is the easy part though, u will need to save ur good fortune for the battle game, if EU anyway ;)
@@Optinooby luckily I’m in USA. Battle does look hard though. I watched those already. Probably going to finish first part of speed run and take a break. Almost done with Revelations too. Long haired/ fat Chris lol. Really just need to try insanity difficulty. I did a little Raid but not enjoying the grind.
Oh yea fat Chris XD, forgot about him
CVX should be somewhat easy then m8 for u... I hope!
Ive heard Raid Mode on Rev is real good, but I h8 forced online trophies
@@Optinooby and it’s around 700 or so achievement points for Raid. Very disappointing. I would absolutely enjoy the rest of your reaction to the game lol. I know it might not be worth your time. But A lot more scenes with Raymond (joker), Fat Chris and Jessica. It’s a very creepy yet silly game.
Well I attempted. And the good news is your guide is super helpful to beat the game. Bad news is I am horrible at tank controls. So I gave up on the speed run portion. Just playing for fun and the other achievements this round. I’ll probably revisit at some point in the future to speed run it. Those older RE games are rough to control.
I am writing this comment so far in frustration
I got up to about the 30 minute mark
Had to use up all my herbs and apparently did not have a slot free for the emblem
Time to give up and try again later
Who ever decided to not have a way to pause the timer in this game and re1
I hate them but so far your guides seem good it's just a lack of skill and nerves on my part letting me down
Funny that i had the last trophy on mgs 3 king of the jungle but the disc drive is not working anymore and i decided to go for the digital games and fix it later i had resident evil super bundle on ps3 and since i decide to plat all the games i own i started with classic and i found you having a guide thats just amazing.
Thanks!
Oh Yesss, thank you for this
Now Im Motivated
You are the first person I have ever heard to dislike Resident Evil 3. Why? I am not sure. But you're entitled to your opinion.
Thank you for the walk-through!
i said that, where? I like RE3
I liked the playthrough but experienced a little bit of video and audio delay. Is it just me that's seeing that, doesn't bother me Great walkthrough I always love watching someone play 100% and showing best strategies and trophies in games. Good job mate!
No it's the video mate, big apologies for it, I fixed what I could.
I recorded this in 2 half's,the 2nd part when I got to editing, the audio was all out of synch.
I tried to fix it with what I had, you may have noticed at times, it seems to start going bad, then gets right again. What I did watch cut the audio and try to line it up every 10 mins or so so I didn't get too bad.
I did consider running it all again, to be honest I probably should have..but I was hoping it's still ok to follow
Sorry mate
@@Optinooby No worries buddy it was still watchable, still managed to keep up with it, I always find it difficult to line audio and video up together I tried it with gameplay a while back but the video was really out of sync by like 10 seconds.
I got bit by a bunch of zombies that you didn't but then I also avoided hits from the long armed fucks and other enemies that you did get hit by. That first bandersnatch didn't touch me a single time. Somehow.
Thanks for this, the european version is a lot harder then the us or japanese version, its feels so slow at times, good man thanks again
Wish I had this guide back in 2001... The 12-year-old me actually beat it with no guide or internet; don’t remember the ending, but I remember that Steve guy was annoying as hell.
You fared much better than me then bud, i was a little older and iirc, I never finished it back then, think I found it too difficult!
I would play it if it was remake for PS4 or PS5, i played this at least 10 times in PS2 thats good 15 years ago lol
Crazy how slow this is. Lol. Love the video!!
Love your channel omg, dude I'd marry you, I've done all platinum from this saga following your videos 😂
cheerssss bro GGs🎉🎉🎉
Another great guide, thanks!
Excellent guide mate!
Third time trying this guide, got half way then the electrisity went out😭🙏🏻 i give up
Tempted to get this just for the fact you made a guide about it.
I simplify Campaign, but if on EU version, Battle Mode will take a lot of practice regardless mate
@@Optinooby NTSC Version Not Simplify?
great fist segment, i never really liked playing this game as there was to much backtracking, never got the A rank lol
I did first part of the game with the herb glitch, following this guide step by step, im playing on ps5 and i am using my home button to pause it everytime i want to follow ur video... i just hope it really does pause the game... i usually pause my game going through the door animation and when i start the game back on the animation is still of the door so i guess we good
Yea i think that pauses it if done during the door animation, dis i mention that here? Dont think i thought of it until this guide, but could be useful for 1 ans zero
@Optinooby yes you did mention it in the video, for Re1 i did the youtube opening trick whenever i wanted to pause and it worked :)) but its annoying to open youtube again and again this home button one is more quick.
I think you can pause the game and the timer holding the L1 and the start button (the right half of the mouse pad on the controller, someone can confirm this, because a pause screen appears so maybe the game is saying that the timer is also paused. It works on the ps2 and ps4 versions, not sure about the ps3.
It doesn't work m8 iirc, sure I tested that.
oh, ok thanks for the reply, I'll use this video along with the glitch of the infinite herb, it should make things easier, I'm using your videos to platinum the classic resident evil ones did resident evil zero, now doing invisible enemy in the remake and then afterwards code veronica. Thank you for the guides. (And sorry for any grammatical mistakes)
Going to use this guide and get started. Quick thing - on the playlist for these videos you’ve got a SOLID SNAKE VIDEO lmao. It’s a good meme but just for your heads up haha.
thanks mate lol
@@Optinooby lmao
@@Optinooby I see you removed it haha. It did fit in with the playlist. One minute it was RE and then a random BOX and ! Appeared. I think you did it on purpose 😉📦❗️
Does anyone know if there is a way to pause the timer on Xbox One like you can with the PS4 version on PS5? I'm playing the 360 version on Xbox One X and being able to stop the timer to check a guide or just to take a moment to chill during a stressful section would change this run from days and days of trying and re-trying to more like a day for the first half and another for the second.
Any solución?
Thank you so much for the guide!
Great guide mate
Thanks, I got the rocket launcher trophy Thanks to you!
Let's goooooo! I just got Code Veronica today 5/16/23 and it was $3.99 on sale in the xbox Microsoft Store. I'm so happy it came back on sale, NOW! keep in mind this will be my very first resident evil game that has that classic camera movement style. This is something I'm going to get used to lmao. From RE3 Remake to CV yea big change in gameplay. Wish me luck to get used to the old style camera. I'm going to watch this and play this on Friday or Saturday... man, I need to hurry up and finish RE3 S Rank Assisted ASAP so I can jump to CV. :))))
Edit: I wonder the game will pause if I go to xbox homepage?
Hi: Little Update I been so busy with my hours cause of work, and I have a sore throat since last Saturday, and I just played CV first time I exited the game cause, One: When I go to Xbox home page the game doesn't pause. :(((, and two: the joystick movement is going to get used too going into a straight line, I got bit alot in the first line once you enter the graveyard after the cutscene. I'll he taking my time to get used to the movement. After I beat my game blind I'll be coming back to this video. I told you this is my first RE game with the classic movement system and the first 5 mins I wasted time cause it's hard to walk lmao.
Thanks very helpful video and the commentary helped, on with the next video
5:55 I think it does not work this way. I followed this game from the beginning to the end and the counter showed 7:45 total time.
Going to PS home/desktop pauses the game events (characters movements, opening doors, etc.) but does not pause game-time. I suppose this idea/hypothesis come from tests made during the game's moments where it auto-pauses the game-time i.e. cutscenes, perhaps also opening the doors.
I cant recall exactly but pretty sure i tested at the end and kept completing the game to check the time changes after each text, or used save files to test. Cant remember where the time can be seen, but would have used that in order to test
Got my Resident Evil 1 HD Plat a couple days ago but ive made it to Nosferatu but i cant pass him ive beat him before but im out of practice
I got to the Tyrant, fired the bow round, acid rounds, then he punched me and I fell in the fire. An hour and a half wasted.
Can't do the pause trick on Xbox 😅 unless I'm missing something 🤔
Any solución?
I've just playing it aiming to get this A Rank and then after some time I (or "we" as I am following a guide) met a worm, which I assume is one-hit death thing. Fortunately I escaped. Are there more situations like this i.e. one-hit death in this game? If so, I'd rather play with saves, I don't have time to repeat a game from the scratch... Also, I read there are "some" checkpoints but I have not found any list where exactly they exist, nor how to use them as I also encountered some notifications in the net that I cannot use 'retry', but then if I do not use it and go to main menu, how can I reload such a checkpoint? Is it not forever lost if I exit to main menu?
Optinoob, are you able to you answer my questions to some extent, please ;) ?
@@ennuiarduous6446 I forget everything exactly, but think is 1 save, and that is right in the middle. You can reload that of course.
So you would be doing the game in 2 halves basically
@@Optinooby ok, I understand. As much as I see on the web, checkpoints appear right before a boss a player can 'retry' - although I do not know if that's different from 'continue form save after you died' and if that's impacts the A run.
I see there's ont save at the end of this video "allowed" to be done but that's yet not enough to me if I can be killed with one shot/strike (like from a tyrant) and then repeat 1h of the game. You can say I'm too old for that =] or that I got like 2-5h of free time for gaming during the week and I'd like to use it as a relaxing fun, not a fight against the game. Ye, the "old" fits here perfectly then ;)
@@ennuiarduous6446 You can maybe do that, im not saying there isnt checkpoints,, but for the A rank, dont think you're allowed to use checkpoints or save your game. But the game makes 1 save for you midway and thats the only one you can use.
So you can use checkpoints if you want for practise. Then once you have practised it, playthrough again using only the midway save.
If there was a better way, we would be doing here, I wouldnt make things harder for you. It should be all explained in the video.
Best to stick with the other guides you're reading because as you can see, there information is contradicting with mine, and i don't really remember enough to keep giving you the proper answers.
Use the checkpoints if you wish, but that will stop the A rank or something else required for Platinum
@@Optinoobythanks man, I've just finished the game, nice reminder of PS2 times ;)
I started using saves from appx 50th minute of walkthrough and it was a brilliant idea as I died twice, tho in 2nd part - Steve killed me and Alexia during first encounter after she shown her changed form (I had only left acid grenades which were inefficient vs her so I had to kill her with just a couple of bullets and a knife).
Anyway, using saves made my game experience relaxing, earlier I had irritating thought in my head - if I die, I will never finish the game cause there's no way I'm going to start from scratch.
First part is easy, probably only worm section can kill you as it is one blow kill, however part two (Antarctica) has many places where I found myself to be in dire straits, including at least three of one-shot kill
Hey from psnp! Gonna use this for my run so big thanks
Thanks, I think this guide Will work me a lot, I'll try soon
Anyone know if there is a way to pause on Xbox Series X?? Tried the menu thing but doesn’t work like PlayStation
Nothing u can do m8 to pause the door opening animation, if u can get that to stop, should mean the timer is paused??
Thats all I can say really, how to identify if its paused, ive not played Xbox for a long time so cant say for sure what may or may not work
Do u have rest mode?
@@Optinooby thank you for the quick reply and the amazing videos 🙏🏼
there is no sleep mode unfortunately. I guess I’ll keep trying different things but nothings worked so far.
Keep up the great work!
@@mattymartini I dont have a xbox, bu t maybe you could try opening some streaming app like Netflix or Amazon Prime, it usually suspends the game youre currently playing. Hope that helps.
I have not yet tried a full run to really check. Will also be a little while until I actually try a full run. Want to do a couple other RE games first. But if you quickly open the guide and open RUclips. Then the door animation does stop on a series X. So hopefully that means the timer actually stops to. Again, I can’t verify it yet though. But it is definitely a good sign of hope :-) Unless for whatever reason the Xbox version is different, then the timer should stop by doing that:-) I have left the game unfinished for so long since I have a terrible memory and would not be able to do a full speed run without doing 100’s of runs. So the RUclips trick definitely excites me. Will be using this guide when I get to it:-D
If the door animation pauses, then is pauses the timer. The door animation can't be paused just like the timer, that's why I use it as an indication, I pause the door, u pause the timer!
The trophy is Under 4 hours but the Infinite Rocket Launcher is Under 4:30
So You Can Always Go for a BLASTING Smitherens Speedrun in my opinion
I feel I routed this pretty well, it's the only guide out there that does all trophies in 1 playthrough, all the other guides for Campaign are only for the ranking, none go for all trophies at once.
The route needs changing quite a bit for all trophies due to files need collecting and stuff
Doesn't rocket launcher void the best rank??
@@Optinooby you ONLY get the infinite rocket launcher with an A Rank aswell. The trophy of 4 hours just says 4 hours nothing about Besto Rank
@@Optinooby i haven't watch Yet Your Route Great Mate, im About To today.
I'll make drawings and write what to do

You've answered my prayers 🙌
Just finished recording P2, will go up tomorrow, came in at 03:16:00. Thought I would be about 10 mins quicker if im honest, but think thats ok. That time is the equivalent of probably 02:25:00 or so on the NTSC version.
Battle Mode guides will go up a bit later, going to get back to RE5 now, finish that, then come back and finish the Battle Mode for this.
Guess thats the main story done though, so can relax a bit now and not have to worry abt remembering everything xD

I'M Now Going For
The Ninetyfour Platinum
and i thinking this game
Should Deserve That Spot
Since my Mother Name's is Veronica and i was born in 94 :)
I have it fully downloaded in my ps4 and seven other games aswell i haven't play there, in my case i better switch console cause my internet takes aaalllmost a whole day or more depending the size
GBS Are exagerated these days to download a game... the only thing i treasure on the ps4 is the installed theme of kingdom hearts 3 remind it has icons, sound, pic on the background and music Which PS5 Lack You Can't Customize the PS5 To My Knowledge
Hey optinoob your a legend and a re god i got re 0 , 7 , 8 , 2 , 3 ,4 remake platinum from your playthroughs and now im gonna get code veronica but there is something that i want to know how to stop the in game timer on ps5 ? I searched alot and didnt find an answer
same ways mate i think, rest mode or open a media app
Hey, Opti! About to start another great guide of yours and I have a question about this one: do I need to press the PS button only when opening doors or that was just to make sure the game paused? I've seen in another guides that it only works when suspending the app (by opening RUclips, for example), so I'm not sure. Thanks!!!
Hi mate, yea that is just a confirmation if you yourself are unsure. Basically the timer is always running unless you rest mode it or open a media app which will suspend the game app. The opening the door trick is just to confirm the timer is paused, the opening door scene is unpauseable, so if you have another idea that can pause that just like rest mode and a media app does, then try it.
A media app or rest mode will pause the timer, the door trick is just a confirmation sort of thing
@@Optinooby good to know, thank you so much! 😊
@@Optinooby just finished part 1 and I was sooo scared with that tyrant at the end, haha. But it all went just like you said: nice and easy. I was actually very impressed that it worked so well! Thank you so much, you're the best :D
Your RE0 and RE1 guides prepared me for this moment, lol
First half done
Current list of what I fucked up
Used up pretty much every single healing herb
Used the grenade launcher against tyrant 2 instead of the bow gun due to panic
and pretty much started the next part in yellow health
So yeah I hope I don't have to play the first part again because whoever designed this game with no proper pause mechanic apparently likes people to have heart attacks while playing
Needless to say time to wait a week before attempting part 2 and your guide helped a lot even though I ran into like every single zombie like they were offering free hugs
Thanks Opti for making this. I’m going to be that guy and ask, will you be making an RE4 guide?
Hey m8, sure I will be at some point ;), this and RE5 for now though.
You're not the first to request RE4 and I likely would have never done CVX if nobody asked!!!
Is their a way to stop the timer? Besides Suspending the app.
There isnt m8, I had a little play but nothing stops it except doing that, at least we HAVE a way I guess xD.
I knifed that first stretch Armstrong enemy while he was stuck to wall lol
I was following your walkthrough and was doing great up until the final tyrant in the cargo plane.
I did exactly as you said, fired 2 bow rounds and 7 fire arrows. But by the time I was finished he was already in my face and stun locking me.
I didn’t realize that you needed to push that button to end the fight. I thought you waited until he dropped to knees then hit the button like in previous resident evil games.
I ended up spamming so much ammo so I’m left with 0 fire bow rounds and 9 grenade rounds going into the 2nd part.
Luckily I have the infinite herb.
Wish me luck I don’t know if I will get through the 2nd part with limited ammo….
Also why are we collecting so much pistol ammo? I must have missed somewhere where you explain why.
There will be a reason for it, everything is always carefully planned. Though if the reason isnt clear then its perhaps just to give you guys more to play with as i cant predict how accurate each person will be ;)
Thank you for helping ❤
Hey will you ever do a resident evil 6 platinum guide?
@@lostboy2419 may do eventually
Hey buddy. Your battle game tips were a Godsend. Especially with Chris and Alexia stucking in the corner. I A rank it with like 10 seconds to spare.
Thank You.
I don't know if you read this but if you do, are you 100% sure that the ps4/ps5 home screen pause the timer? Because I'm about to start a new game while watching your video and nobody else online mentioned the trick, everybody is saying that only rest mode and opening another application works. But your trick is way faster and easier so I'm suprised why it is not mentioned anywhere else.
I tried it myself and it does pause the game during cutscenes and doors but I'm unsure if it stops the timer.
Now i know I'm asking too much because there is no way to see the timer until you finish the game itself but if you have tested it and you know it works, it will be extremely helpful. Again thank you for your guides and I'm going to start the run.
Hi mate, yea I can't remember exactly,, but if I say something works or doesn't work, I would have tested it myself and not just copy others websites like most do.
A lot of sites don't test everything, they just go with the common info and don't test further, and copy others. This happens a lot unfortunately
What are you asking for, the Battle Games or Main Game??
@@Optinooby Thanks for replying. I'm asking about the main game, if I use the ps4 home screen trick and take breaks every now and then like before the boss fights, while this stop the timer? Or will it add to the timer despite the game pausing?
I can't remember mate, just saying what I said in the video I would have been sure off and know from my own testing
@@Optinooby Ok. Thanks. I will try your guide and see. 3:16 hours is excellent and with plenty of time to spare so even if I take a few breaks now and then, I should be able to reach the 4 hour mark, especially with the infinite herb glitch. You have my gratitude.
That 3 hours 16 is the equivalent of about 2 hours 10 if you're on the NTSC version
Sorry I can't say more on it mate, I just don't remember, that's why I mention it all in the commentary
Hello opti, play you easy or very easy for Rank A? Thanks for your guides yesteday i plat RE7 with your guide:)
Its gotta be on normal I think m8, EU only has 1 difficulty iirc and thats normal.
I think easy on the other versions voids the A, gotta be normal
@@Optinooby thanks i see it today i play the EU version because im from germany many peopel say code veronica is hard for platinium
Campaign, simple with my guide m8, we even do ALL campaign trophies in a SINGLE playthrough, still with over an hour to spare (EU)
Battle games though, even with my guides, its still going to take practice m8 especially on EU and thats where most thw difficulty comes from
U can make campaign easu with a good guide as we do here, the battle games takes practice no matter
It is hare, but doable, I do the EU battle games here with 10 secs to spare so hasnt gotta be perfect. Its those little things that add up, like opening ur inventory a single time can consume 20 secs believe it or not!!
@@Optinooby I will see dude , but i trust you i played your RE7 FF8 guide and i say fuck that was crazy;) good for me in 2steps i have a guide and learn more english.
I think next guide from you i played is dragons dogma.
Hope you make The Witcher3 guide in future.
FF8 damn, that was a long one right ;), thanks for holding through ;)
Ive have a text platinum walkthrough for TW3 which I did about 5 or so years ago. I am planning to do a video walkthrough for it, but im waiting for the PS5 upgrade ;)
I normally do a blind playthrough in every RE before going for trophies, but I've heard horror stories about easily screwed over yourself in this if you don't know it. Should I bother with a blind run in this?
Would perhaps be a good idea to do so as the speedrun/A rank could be difficult if ur not familiarise
I kept the fire extinguisher with me in item box so i can get magnum while using ur guide i hope i can make it in time
1.Can i pause the game with start or select in Xbox 360 ? (Without lost time)
2. Can i use mixed herb ?
You can use herbs, just no sprays and not sure on xbox
@@Optinooby thank you
i Was Testing the infinite herb glitch Is So Easy To Do And Right From The Start. 3 mixed herbs aswell at Start
And Now i Want To Know iF you Can use the herb without Going into the menu
So. On the door animation a press the PS button and that stop the time? Cuz I hear that you need to open a application like RUclips to pause the timer. You playing on PS5. So this work on PS4 as well?
The app thing is quite an old thing, I think Sony released updates since where the PS menu or Rest Mode suspended stuff, also different games work differently, some games may need the suspend app if thats still a thing, other games may just need PS menu
What I was trying to say here about the door opening thing is that that is a unskippable animation as it is loading, no in game pause or nothing, so if u can perform a action which PAUSES the door opening animation, then that will have properly stopped the game along with the timer. That is how u can be sure what u are doing is stopping it.
Rest Mode will defo suspend it
If I pause the game the time stops?
Thanks for the guide by the way mate 😊
You have to press the PS buttom and enter the full PS menu. If u wanna make sure, do it when a door is opening, if the animation stops, them it pauses the game.
Other than that m8, no, its the only way, the older REs had really annoying timers
Do you know if I can still follow this guide with the US version? Or no?
@@Glenjamin89 Oh yes of course, the timing will just be much easier in your case!! This 3 hours 40 whatever it is total, is more like 2 hours 20 on the US version!!
@@Optinooby oh nice! Thanks very much for the quick response!
Hey there mate!!! How are you do doing? Im preparing to plat this since today I should finish with RE3 (what a game!!! super short but incredibly funny!!!)!
So you're playing EU version on ps5? those are my exact conditions too... So can u confirm me that going on the main menu will stop the timer? this would help me a lot since I could check the guide while running instead of learning all by memory like I did for RE0 and RE1HD!
Hey m8, it stops it on PS5 yea, going to PS5 main menu, I tested as well at the end of the game.
I havent tested on PS4 but effectively should be the same. Do it when the door animation between rooms begins, and if it stops the door animation, then it pauses the timer!
@@Optinooby cool! Im playing on ps5 too, so Im just happy I can made this a little easier since it seems like the hardest till now
@@glaucoruzzetti9630 Battle Mode is going to be quite difficult, im not got round to recording battle mode yet btw, but will do on the coming weeks
@@Optinooby cool I'll totally looking forward for em then! Another little question... do they implemented auto-aim and modern style movement like in the other games?
@@glaucoruzzetti9630 Yea it auto-aims, but no modern controls, stupid tank style
Hey man I'm doing the speedrun now and I'm curious, once you get your half point save, can you turn off the game and continue later or does it have to be in 1 sitting?
Yes mate, once you get that halfway save, you're free to lob your system out the window. Then resume your save once you realise you need your treasure back
@@Optinooby thanks man, I appreciate the quick response🙏
Do herbs count against your score is it just first aid sprays
Just FAS i think mate
@@Optinooby im going for the plats for the whole series all i have left are Re:CVX Re:1 RE0 Revelations 1 and 2 and RE6
I will be doing the others at some point
@@Optinooby heck yeah im down to give em a thumbs up for sure loved the vid
@@AgentBigHonks goodluck! 😀👊🏻
Wait this Resident evil is the longest one ?
Its because im on EU and the games runs about 30% slower. If this route was done on the NA version, this would be about 2 hours 15 I think
I really want the platinum in this game, but I gave up immediately because of the
controls. I have the same version as you, but it is difficult. How do you move the character like this? Tell me please 😭
D-pad, analogue sticks?
I have a question, on this platinum speeding why don't you go for the magnum? I heard him say he won't get it on this run, could you opt to get it anyway? Or does that ruin your run somehow?
On the Campaign, I don't even remember where it is, I say we're not getting it then??
@@Optinooby
Thank you for the prompt reply! It was at 12:55 , you said you didn't grab the magnum, cause you didn't "need it" , what I was wondering is if one were to instead try to get it, would deviate the game from giving me an A rank and/or add too much time to the speed run?
I appreciate your time in giving us these fantastic platinum walkthroughs over many PlayStation games!!
Oh yea just had a quick Google for reminder
The Magnum would be a nightmare to get now because you need the Extinguisher and if I remember, it's right back at the beginning, plus it requires you to enter a few rooms with annoying enemies you may have to kill
We still make the game as easy as can be without it
I carefully plan out these routes, nothing is just done without careful consideration without testing other stuff.
If we don't get the Magnum, it's because the risk, time, ammo used or whatever getting it is more of a problem than how helpful the Magnum would have been, basically the risk is not worth it!
There are some RE games where I backtrack quite a bit for a very useful weapon or item, like in RE2remake but here it hurts more than it helps
@@Optinooby
Your honestly the best walkthrough channel on RUclips, much obliged sir!
Hey does this playlist get the platinum. I aslo have the us version can i follow your guide even tho you on the ue version
yes mate
@@Optinooby perfect 👍
Followed this guide right up to the tyrant on the plane. Fired the 2 B.O.W rounds and the 7 bow gun arrows and tried to hit the button but tyrant was on Claire immediately before I got the chance. He cornered me and I tried to kill him but I got the retry screen. I don't know what happened. I was so pissed. :(
I don't know if I'll get this platinum. Its seem too difficult even with your guide. The requirements to get A rank is rediculous in my opinion.
Thats crap m8, and means u must start all again doesnt it. This worked for me always, and I have seen similar strats work for others. I guess it may have just been 1 of those things where you had the worse possible RNG
Dont give up, things dont always go to plan, ya just gotta persevere
Way I see it, is you have 2 options now;
1. U begin again doing exact same as me and everything should work out. Ive had him catch up to me before, but found it happened if I wasnt quicl enough, I would say u were a little too slow or pike I say, real bad RNG in that 1 of ur shots missed him and messed it up
Or
2. You start again, but this time u save before that boss and try him a few times, make sure u have everything right and it works, then once u are happy, start the run again. Yea this way will waste an hr, but at least u can be sure!!
I have just continued on from retry. It put me back to the place where you use the key card to open the shutters. It seems there is a autosave. I am trying to get back to the plane and try the tyrant again but save before it like you suggest.
I think its possible that he moved while I was shooting the arrows so they missed him. He was like on Claire in a flash and I could not react in time as I couldn't see him. Anyway thanks for the words of encouragement. I'm looking forward to RE 8. The demo was amazing. What did you think of it?
@@austintse5719oh yea, that will be quicker, retries do void A rank, so after practise, u will need to restart
Not had chance to play it yet, Imay play it tomorrow and put a video up on it
What did u think??
I think it's going to be one of the best resident evil games. It reminds me of re4 and I think that's going to get a remake too. It's gone a bit supernatural but there must be a T-virus related reason for it. Another demo Sunday at 6pm. I'll watch your video of the demo when you upload it.
I got to the tyrant on the plane and I did it perfectly first time. I ended up finishing the game as well. I might try again for A rank but use the glitch as I want to save as much time as possible because the game runs slower.
I hope so, I still prefer the 3rd person ones though. Even though I lived RE3re, it was underwhelming and I guess it would be difficult for RE8 to be worse ;)
And worked perfect for ya, flippin A yea, u should be able to pull off A rank. This is on EU anyway and we still have over an hr to spare!
1 Remark: To get S or A rank for Us/eu you HAVE to get Gold Lugers as Chris, without Lugers you will get only B rank (no saves, no 1st aids, Steve/prisoner, and under 4:30, but without Lugers it’s only B rank). Btw great play, I too played on Dreamcast in dinosaurs times 🙋♀️😄
Do I get them here??
I was reading the Official Strategy Guides when making this and can't recall exactly what I read but I don't remember the Gold Luger's being mentioned....
I know Official Guides get it wrong mate, Unofficial Guides get it wrong even more though!!
Thing is with Official Guides misinformation is louder is because they 'shouldn't' be getting it wrong!!
I will always take Official Guides over Unofficial Guides just because they have there info straight from the Devs and have no Plagiarism inside.
Still though, as always, I read any guide with an open mind because I don't like to get things wrong and a lot of the times will still make sure for my own peace of mind!!
@@Optinooby I just did Code Veronica with Luger in 3 and half hours. Again B Rank 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️. I did: 1 safe save when you changes disks, no 1st aids, Steve/prisoner, even obtain magnum as chris. What’s the issue I don’t know. I have 2 points why: 1. I wasn’t in two rooms as Claire: Bathroom/storeroom and didn’t pick up a crossbow. 2. Maybe, I think you can’t obtain A rank with using infinite rocket launcher - it’s only my guess. And the last one I used on Alexia stack of 3 herbs, but I don’t think that any herbs affects. So I don’t know, I think to make a pure test, you have to start clean new game without secret unlocks🤪. But I’m too tired to test it again and again with/without Luger🤓
Why don't we ever mix the herbs? Do they count as a first aid after they're mixed or something?
I should mention it....?? Iirc, I think it's because you can only be instant killed while in Caution or was it Yellow Caution and below? So using one at a time keeps you in Fine and prevents mistakes being made with not healing and getting killed.
It's possible a a single heals more than 3 combined as well, can't rembember that though. Most Resi's, a mix is worth more but this could have been different.
I think we do use some reds later for a miniboss that sprints at u swiping and u must flee
@@Optinooby ohhh okay. Honestly thought maybe mixed herbs would count against you somehow.
Gonna sound lame but I was gonna follow this guide while using the glitched mix herb trick.
I apologize for not knowing this 😂 I just got Code Veronica not too long ago and still don't know a lot about it
I can't recall everything, but anything I do here, there is a thought out reason to it, nothing was done on a whim! The route is planned out, it's not a casual route where I just jumped in ;)
I allow for the glitch mate, I don't use it, but I advise on it here for anybody who wants to use it when the time comes
