I love the in-game commentary and the overall video style. Not many creators can get me to watch a video more than 30 minutes long, so I think it's safe to say I found this video quite entertaining. Good luck on your next runs!
That section at the end is exactly the reason why I kill brackens during my runs more often than not. That was such a horribly unlucky bracken spawn and the way he killed you was genuinely unfair. He was probably crouching in some corner or something but I genuinely cannot tell where he got you from. Otherwise, Very good run. Surely you will be able to complete the ironman challenge next time. Keep doing what you do Cosco :D
I haven't ever really tried killing him in an actual game just because I've never had a truly consistent method to killing him. I've practiced a bunch but never had consistent success. How do you go about killing him?
@@coscoman3894 I use circle strafe strats and I generally try to bait him to advantageous positions depending on the interior and the general state of play. The most important factor in being able to kill a bracken is having lots of space to do so. Trying to fight him in a area that's too cramped will result in a neck snap. All you have to do is bait him to coming into the room by looking away but keeping him in your peripheral vision. Building up sprint during the waiting process is also important for making sure you are as mobile as possible while fighting him. As soon as he comes out you whack him with the shovel, and then when he lunges at you, you hold only D and circle strafe around him while hitting him. He should only take 4 hits since you got that surprise hit on him but if you're in a situation where he comes to you first you'll need to hit him 5 times.
Should also be noted that Factory is the interior where it's hardest to kill the Bracken, outside mineshaft and the near entirety of mansion are very safe to kill brackens in pretty much anywhere because of how spacious mansion is and how wide the corridors of the outside mineshaft are. There's a lot more to it but all of that is the gist. If you want you can hmu and I can show you how I do it using imperium mod :D
@@coscoman3894 if you want something consistent (on mansion and factory at least) you can pretty easily learn door strats to kill brackens (and even maneaters) by just mashing the door so they cant get through it until they deaggro. its not so easy with mineshaft's weird doors sadly...
I love your videos dude!!! Tip: small time save would be to keep cruiser on when you leave the company Also - do you know if there's any recorded successful solo iron man run since artifice was added?
@@alexlee7876 yes there are a lot of recorded successful solo ironman atempts amd btw he leaves the cruser on when leaving the company building most of the time
There have been a lot of completions since the addition of Artifice. I believe the first person to do it was Purple, although someone else may have done it first.
Just found this channel and its exactly what i was looking for. Also if it helps at all you can get rid of the maneater baby in tunnels by dropping it down a hole. It'll free up a slot for something else to spawn but you won't have to deal with the baby.
Unfortunately, the maneater pit drop strats were patched in v64. When the Maneater transforms into an adult it teleports him to the nearest AI node on a navmesh if he isn't actually colliding with the navmesh. This basically patches every single drop spot, as he'll teleport back to the navigable map within a couple seconds. Somewhat related: -This does allow for an easy kill depending on the spot (since you can hit through some walls/doors), but usually he just trolls you. -You can still drop him behind locked doors afaik. You can also trap him at the top of the mineshaft inside the Main door entrance area. -He will also teleport out of the cruiser trunk after a couple seconds now, BUT you can usually kill him before he can teleport out. If he transforms outside just stand on the cruiser so his AI loses you if you're near the cruiser. Pretty sure he can path to you in the trunk while the door is open though.
What a good run. It's too bad about the bracken. Bracken is usually the reason I leave when ever I see him in the mine shafts. Oh and I found out why roaming bees isn't a good thing. My ship ran over a beehive.....
I didn't see it because it was eaten by the Maneater. I see the shovel at 20:36 I hear the Maneater swallow sound at 20:40 I check the spot we saw the shovel at earlier, only to find it missing at 20:47 I saw it earlier, but I didn't pick it up hoping that I wouldn't have the Maneater eat it. Unfortunately, things didn't pan out that way.
@coscoman3894 Ah, I didn't see that it was missing when you left the items, my bad. Looks like you did have your second eye open after all. 🤣 Your vids are always entertaining, you will compleate the challange some day!
De Blob is quite the groovy jam, big fan

Favourite small youtuber by far

Agreed, this guy's content is awesome
Rip cave bracken spawn. On the good side at least luck is getting much better
Lmaoo, calling the flying things "chuckle fuck$"😭😂😂. I don't even remember their names🤣.
Tulip Snakes, they are little devious annoyances lol.

some nice movement you got there
enjoyed it :D
very fun to watch:)
Thank you cosco very cool
How did you not see the shovel on Vow? 😂 You walked right above it halfway to the elevator.
I didn't see it because it was eaten by the Maneater.
I see the shovel at 20:36
I hear the Maneater swallow sound at 20:40
I check the spot we saw the shovel at earlier, only to find it missing at 20:47
