I didn't realize until recently that you get a wrench instead of, say, a crowbar or something, because it's a pipe wrench. The most useful tool in a sinking city.
I look forward to every video you post!! You deserve so many more subscribers! There's no doubt in my mind you will hit 1 mil+, and i cant wait to watch you get there!!
@@morgansbasementif you are gonna attempt the brass balls achievement in the remaster, be wayyyy more liberal with the save feature. Id say at least every 15-30 minutes because the first game crashes a LOT. Ive 100%’d it on all 3 platforms, and it can be demoralizing
One of the most entertaining challenge runs I've seen. I usually watch Borderlands 2 runs but have got back into the Bioshock series this week and loving the nostalgia. That was at times hilarious 😅😅😅
Amazing work Morgan! Hope to see more videos like this one for bioshock 2 and infinite. Especially the latter, I highly recommend that you play it, if you haven't already, as it adds so so SO much to the overall plot and lore of bioshock. The writing in bioshock 1 and infinite are just phenomenal.
If you're playing the remastered there is a harder difficulty, but on the OG there's only hard. NGL this was such a fun run though, I would do it again haha
@@morgansbasement TBH I didn't knew about that. Because I played the OG years ago when I had my Xbox 360 and when I tried the remaster version from the Bioshock collection I felt like it was more difficult and now I know why lol. Great video
Unironically if you use mainly wrench it became super easy to play on the hardest difficulty,the only thing you use real ammo on ar big daddy . I came across a really op wrench build, i later discovered it was one of the strongeat, while playing cause i had to get the no chamber and all photo achievement and since i am kinda good in building in games i saw some potential in a melee build with the perk i had and i was not wrong. Also the real benefit of doing this is that you will be always full of ammo against all the Big Daddie you will find so that you can also resque or kill all the sisters in the game. If you combine this and powers wrench is probably the strongest weapon in the game for normal enemies
It's funny cause the only Bioshock game I had played all the way through was 2 haha. I would like to 100% it, and then play through infinite afterwards!
I wanted to try to only use the wrench and the environment, but in hindsight IDK if plasmids would have changed much. It was fun regardless! I would like to try this with the other Bioshocks btw, it's just a matter of time
These types of challenges are really fun in this game, and I imagine pistol only offered a unique challenge since ammo is a bit more limited than infinity wrench swings
bro when I was getting the "I Chose the Impossible" achievement It was hard for me to even get through the first area and i wasn't doing a one weapon only run. i couldn't imagine how hard it would be to do that with just a wrench.
It is really fun to see people attempt to go wrench only, considering how deadly it can be. It is especially fun to see it with people who has NO clue how good the Wrench is.
You should've done "I Chose The Impossible"... As this is one of the easier achievements compared to the one I just stated. This is not even on the highest difficulty whereas the other IS actually a harder difficulty..
I'm not sure if you noticed, but this was the Xbox 360 version, so there isn't survivor difficulty. I had like 2 achievements unlocked from 2009, so I wanted to complete this version of the game haha. So to answer your question, I chose this difficulty because it IS the hardest difficulty in the game
First time playing through a game on it's hardest difficulty with only the starting weapon and no checkpoints is a absolute alpha move... HE IS COOKING LADS🔥🔥
@@morgansbasement Whooo! Also there are two different soundtracks. One being streamer friendly and one with copyrighted music. I definitely recommend enjoying both.
I tried getting all achievements for Bioshock 1 & 2 quite recently, for 1 I just need 1 more achievement, I disabled vita chambers and completed it on Hard Difficulty but it didn’t give me the brass balls achievement, it did give me the seriously good achievement for completing it on the hardest difficulty so not sure why I didn’t get the brass balls one.
Before I attempted this challenge I remember reading about it being super buggy, and it sounds like you might've drawn the short straw. That really sucks dude, I'm sorry to hear it
To be fair, the wrench gets op pretty quick into the run, there was a point in my Survivor (no vita camara) play thorough where i did better with the wrench than with any other upgraded weapons i had
I played the game again after this with all guns/abilities (on survivor since it was the remaster), and I never had an issue. I think the guns/plasmids REALLY help with Big Daddys. Besides fighting them, the wrench was a great weapon
@@morgansbasementThe best guns against big daddy's for me was the shotgun upgraded to being an auto-shotgun, with the electric slugs, stunlocking them
The wrench definitely scales the best in the game, but that first half of the game was definitely harder with just the wrench haha. It was my first time playing the game, so it might be easier the second go around
i basically already did this challenge if i had just turned off vita chambers i would have done it cause i just used the wrench 99% of the time i would use the chameleon eve and then what ever helped with health and wrench damage
i just started my first playthrough of this game, and i almost had the bomb fully assembled at hephaestus and my game crashed and restarted that whole level 😭 i gotta save way more
I didn't show it in the video, but I died when I made it into the room with the lock to Ryan's office, and my last save was before the bomb was even built LOL. I can empathize with you perfectly 😂
I literally just did this entire game on Survivor only using the wrench without dying and beat the game within an hour and a half. It’s easier than it sounds
Damn dude that's crazy! Nice work. This was my first ever playthrough of the game, so I definitely wasn't going to do it without dying. But it sounds like you have a good amount of experience with the game, so it's hard to compare our runs. If I played through the game a few times first, I probably would agree that it wasn't hard haha
Request for a vid : can you beat bioshock 2 with the drill on hard mode without using vita chambers and no first aid kits? Plasmids are ok to use since you can't progress without them. :)
I've only played Bioshock 2 once, so I don't remember much, but doing it without medkits sounds either impossible or the most frustrating trial and error run possible LOL. I would do drill only for sure, but IDK about that healing bit haha
@@morgansbasement what if you were able to use med kits? I think it would be fun but on hard mode and this is coming from someone who tried health drops faster than my phone off a bridge.
Idk if it would've affected your playthrough, but I normally use telekinesis to pick up a corpse or large objects and use those to trip the electric trap bolts🤷🏼♂️
@morgansbasement I feel that, I thought that might've interfered with it😢 and yeah it's pretty cool lol. You don't even have to throw it, you just hold the object in front of you and just walk towards it till it shocks the object/body😎
I unlocked big brass balls and I choose the impossible wrench only on my first playthrough ever and in the remakes. I also did the same drill only and hardest difficulty no vita in bioshock 2 also.
lol i got this achievement by accident I wasn't paying attention to stuff cus yes so I skipped all of the chambers and didn't even know they where a thing
I didn't realize until recently that you get a wrench instead of, say, a crowbar or something, because it's a pipe wrench. The most useful tool in a sinking city.
It's not a bad choice if you ask me haha
it is also a callback to the game's spiritual predecessor, System Shock, wherein the player used a wrench as their melee weapon
@@brianrabadue6787 or a pipe
6:18 he actually is immune to wrenches, but he has a weakness to golf clubs.
Unreal video. Cant believe you actually did this 😂
Someone had to do it!
With Bioshock being one of my favorite games of all time, I'm glad to see someone pull off the Brass Balls wrench playthrough. Congrats.
You seriously cooked with this one great job man! These challenge videos are crazy entertaining 😄
I'm glad you enjoyed them! I have a blast making them, so we got a good thing going here 😀
Always a fan of game content from my childhood! Can't wait for more!
Glad you liked it Midge!
I look forward to every video you post!! You deserve so many more subscribers! There's no doubt in my mind you will hit 1 mil+, and i cant wait to watch you get there!!
Thanks, Alex! I'm glad you like the content!
Congrats bro! Bioshock is an amazing game. I should probably get back to it when I have time lol.
i know for a fact I'm gunna go back and get the 100% in the remaster. What a sick game!
@@morgansbasementif you are gonna attempt the brass balls achievement in the remaster, be wayyyy more liberal with the save feature. Id say at least every 15-30 minutes because the first game crashes a LOT. Ive 100%’d it on all 3 platforms, and it can be demoralizing
One of the most entertaining challenge runs I've seen. I usually watch Borderlands 2 runs but have got back into the Bioshock series this week and loving the nostalgia.
That was at times hilarious 😅😅😅
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I do broader challenge run/achievement content, and I'm so glad I was able to experience this game in that framework
Amazing work Morgan! Hope to see more videos like this one for bioshock 2 and infinite. Especially the latter, I highly recommend that you play it, if you haven't already, as it adds so so SO much to the overall plot and lore of bioshock. The writing in bioshock 1 and infinite are just phenomenal.
The only Bioshock I've played prior to this was Bioshock 2, and I remember enjoying the game a ton. But I NEED to get around to infinite
Just watched cinema! It being your top 10 has got to be something I need to experience. Great video Morgan!
Thanks for checking out the video, Tob! The game is goated
Bro you are truly built different, what an insane run! Huge congrats 🎉
I'm glad you enjoyed this one!
Ive never seen a dead little sister
Cause you like to save them! You're a good person, I need you to know that 😂
I will try to forget that
HE'S BACKKKKKKKKKK!! You are going to be such a big youtuber someday my friend. These challenges are INSANE!
JAGZ, WE GOTTA BUBBLE UP BUDDY. JUST DONT TAKE TOO MANY STEPS
@@morgansbasement I gotta catch up to you man!
This is so impressive I can’t begin to explain how entertained I am. You are mad and I’m all for it. Easy sub.
Love to hear it Mr. Farms! Welcome to the basement!
Thanks Morgan! Bioshock is another favorite of mine, and this was a fun watch! Looking forward to your videos in the future! ❤
Thanks, Mike!
This video puts a wrench in the algorithm
Love that haha
Funnily enough, you only trigger the spicer attack by picking up the shotgun, which you don’t need. Unless you enjoy pain, that is
Lmao I didn't know that, but I picked up everything I could find since I wanted the 100%
Nice vid Morgan, can't believe you actually managed to pull this one! When i played BioShock on my Ps3 i remember STRUGGLING with Hard difficulty.
I'm so glad the story was amazing. It was the perfect motivation to get through the head slamming that came with fighting a big daddy lol
Great Video Morgan really enjoyed this video. Cant wait for more :)
Thank you Meowey :)
Subbed just for playing my favorite game and taking the time to understand the wonderful story it tells
I REALLY enjoyed the story. The challenge added a nice flavor to the game, but the story was top-tier
I played Bioshock 1 again on max difficult just a couple weeks ago and it was so fucking difficult, the work that you did in this video is amazing Fr.
If you're playing the remastered there is a harder difficulty, but on the OG there's only hard. NGL this was such a fun run though, I would do it again haha

This is pretty impressive. I’m shocked by how much damage you did to Fontaine with the wrench. W video
Dude, you and I both on the Fontaine damage. This guy has a wrench weakness apparently, who would have guessed 😂
Bioshock 2 and Bioshock Infinite would be good as well. I’m happy you are doing Bioshock.
It's funny cause the only Bioshock game I had played all the way through was 2 haha. I would like to 100% it, and then play through infinite afterwards!
If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball...
Finally got around to seeing this, great video Morgan!
Thanks for checking it out, Rob!
This was such a a great video! I can really see the effort and time put into it! I hope the algorithm takes this off! You deserve it
Thanks, buddy! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
Feel like no plasmids was a little extreme but your a legend for pulling it off. Also please do this with booshock 2 as well
I wanted to try to only use the wrench and the environment, but in hindsight IDK if plasmids would have changed much. It was fun regardless! I would like to try this with the other Bioshocks btw, it's just a matter of time
always look forward to your videos. they are nicely paced, funny and the challenges itself are fresh to me
I appreciate that! I'm glad you've been enjoying them!
You really brought a wrench to a gun fight and still won. Impressive!
Underrated weapons haha
I just did a similar run, but with the pistol. Great video, as always 👍
These types of challenges are really fun in this game, and I imagine pistol only offered a unique challenge since ammo is a bit more limited than infinity wrench swings
"Will only use the wrench"
Proceeds to have hacked security kill stuff for him while he cowers in a corner lol
I didn't say anything about using the environment to help 😂

Morgan the Big Canadaddy
You know it
Yay! New vid. Hope everyone is okay! Love the toons Morgan!
It was a new thing I wanted to try, and I think I'm gunna to build on this and do it even better next time!
I like how you used Overcooked and South Park the stick of truth music
They had the vibes
See I was already feeling a little bad with how you cant use the vita-chamber but doing all that with just a wrench?? You're a mad man 😂 I love it!
NGL I had so much fun with this one 😂
Awesome video ! (With amazing audio quality 😉)
This guy 😂. Thanks for checking it out!
It is really fun to see people attempt to go wrench only, considering how deadly it can be.
It is especially fun to see it with people who has NO clue how good the Wrench is.
This was probably my favorite video to make haha. Bioshock was so good, and the wrench made it feel so unique
@@morgansbasement If you enjoyed Wrench only, try Bioshock 2's Drill only.
Gotta shill for my favorite Bioshock.
You should've done "I Chose The Impossible"... As this is one of the easier achievements compared to the one I just stated. This is not even on the highest difficulty whereas the other IS actually a harder difficulty..

There was a moment when I thought it would be impossible 😂 but the story pulled me in and made me excited to smash my head into the wall
I own all three in a bundle and the first two separately, Love this series.
Awesome work Morgan! =D Loved the video.
Thanks, Josh!
New favorite RUclipsr. Give me your mein leben powers
Love the addition of cartoon Morgan haha. W video
Thank you, Clubz!
Buddy loved beating his wrench
There's nothing like grabbing the wrench by the bolts and getting the job done 🔧
Always a good day when you upload
I gotchu, Joker!
Hell yeah, another great monday thanks to Morgan's upload 👍
No problem, Buddy!
Oh that was a mission I remember doing this took me ages and u have to move very slowly good feeling once done
Always a good day when the goat uploads an absolute scorcher 🔥🔥🔥
It was a long wait, but I'm here, Jenson. Say it louder for the people in the back!
The contoller to steer the sub joke was 🔥🔥🔥
Lmaoo I'm glad you got the reference
This game is a masterpiece. I just completed it on survivor difficulty yesterday it was great
It's a top 10 game for me after playing it for this video. God it's so good
Yo great to see you at it again man much love
Thanks, Rift!
Morgan's basement video is up, instant watch.
Let's go, Rob!
Left 4 dead music in the intro is top tier
Not even half way through and I'm re downloading BioShock I will come back to this video I promise haha
That's literally the best case scenario 😂
I remember playing this on the hardest difficulty back in the day. it was pretty brutal for me lol.
Big gg on the win.
If I had played this when it came out it would have been a struggle for me too haha
Well done sir well done. High fi rush has quite the list to complete including some hitless challenges might be interesting for you.
I've been eyeing Hi-Fi Rush for over a year, and I would love to play that game! When I get through my current plans, I will be playing that for sure
@@morgansbasement Whooo! Also there are two different soundtracks. One being streamer friendly and one with copyrighted music. I definitely recommend enjoying both.
thanks for playing the og game instead of the remaster
I had like 5 achievements from 2009, so making this video was my excuse to go back and actually play the game/100% it on my account 😂
The basement delivers again! 🔧
Hold that wrench high 🔧
You remind me of my dad in a good way
Cursing ✔️
Gamer ✔️
Funny ✔️
This is a top tier compliment, thank you!

Sad that you never saved the little sisters in the Medical Pavilion or Neptune's Bounty.
I went back after I beat the game and saved them all haha
jesus christ, the FOV on this game is nuts. we really didn't know what we were doing in 2007.
Dude I was absolutely floored when I could change it 😂. Modern games have us spoiled for sure
I just completed the game! And I tried killing the last boss using the wrench and it made me use 8 of my first aid kits, so I just switched to guns. 😅
You gotta do what you gotta do haha
