    Imagine this entire playthrough in context of the storyline. A professor appears out of nowhere, and whenever you're meant to go into battle the professor just gets on a wyvern and says 'stay there, I got this' and proceeds to take down the equivalent of what, four armies, at least eight dragons. Recruits the entire school. Solos an entire war.

    Ey nice to see you managed to finish it with your ruleset!
    Yeah my run was more on the lax and improv side, not as much research put into it as you did clearly, and the rules were slightly different, I allowed DLC boots to be used (this was before the Chalice pretty much broke DLC meta), but no adjutants, which I regret a lot cause Edalgard was a pain in the ass to keep alive in part 1, but the extra mobility definitely helped in a lot of situations so definitely don't regret those boots lol
    But yeah, amazing job Mekkah, this run is a test of patience so props for finishing it! Also I can relate to being on the edge on that last chapter of Silver Snow. Its almost hilarious how much of a joke Rhea is in Crimson Rose by comparison.

    Even though a Maddening Solo run with Byleth has already been done by someone else, your run has still merit from the fact that it was done without using the DLC.
    The DLC makes Maddening much easier in general (although not to the point where it becomes a cakewalk). You have the stat-boosters you mentioned in the video, you have the Chalice of the Beginnings (which nullifies weakness to effective damage and gives you distant counter), you have the ability to buy more statue bonuses earlier on, you have the sauna to more easily train your units, you have auxiliary battles for double gold regards as an actual source of Exp and stat-boosters, and some other more perks.
    Maybe you could edit the titles of these videos to highlight that it was done without the DLC.

      @@M0rgi I also trained a very buffed up Byleth on Maddening NG giving him stat-boosters from the auxiliary battles and gardening. Having such an overpowered unit definitely makes the game quite easy. Making use of the auxiliary battles to increase your party's levels also helps. But the thing is that on Maddening, you can't actually have many units whose levels constantly surpass those of the enemies because of how the exp system works on that mode (but you can still have a couple at most, if you go into every "Spirits of the Fallen" tile in auxiliary and main battles or spam Dance/Faith magic).
      I definitely agree that things are easy enough for one to be confortable and confident with not having to do multiple attempts to clear any given map. But I wouldn't call it a "cakewalk". For me, a "cakewalk" is something like Normal NG+, where you can do whatever you want without thinking much and you're still fine. Maddening NG with DLC still requires some thought.

    @slanax97 4 года назад +80

    The first part did actually inspire me to do the same run on my own, though I did 'taint' it by cheese-grinding early on with broken weapons in the weak early aux battles, giving me much better hit and avoid rates early on thanks to much higher Prowess skills and allowed me to play around a lot more with different classes. Notable differences to your run include:
    - The Miklan battle can be cheesed pretty heavily by going Archer and moving out of the central room. The beast will pursue you to the stairs but can't pass them, and if it can't attack you, it can't charge up its Staggering Blow, which means it can't regenerate its armor. Being an Archer, Byleth could attack from outside its range entirely, chip open its armor and make the whole thing go by a lot faster and safer, tho Curved Shot in non-Archer classes can probably still do it pretty easily without hitting the turn cap.
    - Vantage/Wrath Bow Knight is amazing for this run. Basically anything that is not a monster or a battalion enemy is almost a complete non-issue bc it dies before being a threat
    - I managed the first post-TS chapter by going Bow Knight, shooting down the Peg first and then bolting immediately to the left to catch the cavs and pegs threatening to seize next turn. I didn't actually know about the seize trick where you just stand on the seize tile and counter everyone who tries to seize to death yet, so I had to battalion the enemies there to stun them (this was actually the first chapter where I was forced to use an adjutant bc I needed the gambit boost damage to take out the first one, otherwise I couldn't have killed them in time). The Swordmaster on the right stayed on the seize tile and needed to get pretty lucky, which cost a bunch of tries, and while on the winning run she did eventually die with the Archer still alive and ready to seize, I was done with the left hand enemies so I ran back over in hopes of distracting him, and that's when I found out about the seize trick bc I just barely ended up in three tiles' range of the seize tile so the archer died on enemy phase :P
    - The rest of the run was more or less trivial since there's not a lot that threatens a Vantage/Wrath Bow Knight with ridiculous overkill Str. I usually beat monsters by hiding in a forest and enemy phasing them, sometimes picking them off on player phase if I could finish off a health bar, and my main battalion was the Leicester Mercenaries for its delicious Hit and Crit boosts helping with reliable Vantage/Wrath strats. I've really grown to like this battalion a lot lately, it's great for Vantage/Wrath cheese even in non solo environments, same with the Goneril Valkyries.
    - For the final battle, I brought some swords to have Windsweep as an option. If Rhea would hit me on enemy phase, I'd Windsweep, if she didn't I'd Brave Bow, and canto out of range to heal up either way. The White Beasts weren't too much of an issue, with forest Avoid and effective damage on my side I could clean them up pretty efficiently, and around turn 30ish the way to Rhea (from the lower right side in my case, I didn't bother clearing out all the other golems but the one there) was free. Ended somewhere in the 70s on the turncount, and since she decided to be a cheeky dick about it and procced Miracle, I went for the ultimate disrespect and finished the run with a Ballista shot :P

      @@ducklingcore Initially I wanted to go for Defiant Crit over Wrath so I'd have the critrate on player phase, Crest of Flame showed me pretty quickly that that wasn't going to be an option :P
      But with the treshold being 50% HP rather than 25%, it usually worked out pretty well where if the crest procced and healed me out of Wrath range, Byleth was then in the HP range to live another hit, which especially came in handy against monsters. Sure, some enemies might live the round, but it'd be the kind that doesn't pose a threat, and with them weakened the chances were lower that a Crest proc on them would heal Byleth enough to go over half next round.

    1. I did not allow adjutants
    2. I did allow the use of support gambits and items but only on forced deployed units, because this was required for a few paralouges mainly (Stride, torches, etc.)

      You were able to beat Hilda's paralogue with just Byleth trained? What did you have equipped to Hilda/Cyril to help you out? That map's a struggle in a duo run with DLC, let alone a solo.
      And did your paralogues include Anna's? I found that one also annoying with all the enemy battalions and bow knights after a fleeing Anna. But I attempted that in a duo run with low-charm Ashe, and under-leveled Byleth, so maybe it's easier with just high-charm Byleth...

This game can be beaten in so many different ways no matter how bad the chances seem to be stacked against you some times. Whilst yes, this can be bad in certain instances, I feel like its mainly a positive, it allows for so much experimentation and challenge runs, like this one, and 0% growths, and even an iron man with the right ammount of planning, the amount of flexibility and replayability this game has is insane.

    • @growasowa3444
      @growasowa3444 4 года назад

      I'd call ironmanning a stretch, because 3H isn't really good to ironman. You get most of your units very early on and are cut off from recruiting more at the timeskip with few exceptions. That makes it incredibly difficult to replace a dead unit. And any replacements you might still have are really hard to raise after the timeskip due to the difficulty spike.

    • @TownieSimBuilds
      @TownieSimBuilds 4 года назад +9

      As bad as it may sound, this is honestly a large part of it. My boyfriend plays Three Houses and I watch and assist as much as possible. We regularly get hit at low percentages (15% - 25%) by enemies while missing often, sometimes consecutively with multiple characters with different attacks and gambits in a row, at hit percentages as high as 85%-95%. Likewise, we have had character frequently miss criticals at high percentages (75% and higher), even in moves allowing for two attacks, like Hunter's Volley and the gauntlets. We once had Hilda with an extreme build with 96% and 98% critical rates, only for them to activate half the time. I noticed that Mangs lands two hits at about 38% each in one round, which we would be blessed if we could land even one of those hits in our game, as the RNG screws us in favor of the PC/enemy. He also certifies for a master class at 30%; unfortunately, we also get screwed in this department as we normally need at least 75% to pass. We've only had the rare chance of passing once or twice below that mark after a dozen or more playthroughs with different houses, characters, and classes. I really don't know if he experiences the same issues, but with the mechanics and flawed probabilities that we experience, even with the best strategies and upgrades we could not be able to do it because of how often the game is unfair to us. I would really like to know if anyone else has been having this problem.

Honestly, with like 38%, I get hit far more often than I don't. I love all the FE games, a lot; but I've never seen such player screwing rng in 25 years of gaming. And I was grinding in the nioh games for like 2 years.... I feel like it's coded in to constantly fuck over the player. I think over a couple thousand hours, over all the FE games I've played, what I would call "lucky", is just the rng working as normal. I've only gotten truly lucky, 5 times in ALL of FE gameplay.

      @@ricardodarcangelo2437 Yes, exactly! It's such a shame, as the game makes itself obvious in its tactics to screw you over and defy the odds of logic. Missing 2 criticals at 98% twice while landing both hits at 95-100 hit with Petra says it all. Meanwhile, getting hit four times at 10-15% in a row by a grappler.. words cannot express how many times the game has done stuff like this. Even worse is that normal mode has you landing criticals left and right at 10-20%. I'm glad someone else has had this experience so my partner and I don't feel like we're losing our minds with this terrible, programmed 'bad luck.'

Wolt could do 64 damage (I think?) in one player phase with 4 hits on the S rank bow, then Roy could swoop in with the Binding Blade for 14 damage (I think?). I don't remember the exact numbers, but if even this wasn't enough, he could have used Percival.
