    If anyone wants to see the most difficult fights uncut, you can see me doing them here: ruclips.net/video/iJdUL1lDVOE/видео.html
    Edit: It looks like the Ice Worm is possible to do without the stun needle, so I will definitly redo that mission and link the fight unlisted in this comment. However, since that fight will take more than 20 minutes and it everything but fun, it's not on top of my priority list. I have a few other fun video ideas which I'll do first, so look forward to that!

    Whoda thunk it.
    621, a seemingly somewhat experienced AC pilot by the events of 6, has a starting setup that's actually decently capable.
    Which means the power shift as you get further along is representative not of how bad the base Loader 4 is, but how ridiculous the builds you and your opponents end up having are.

  • @ordinaryhuman5645
    @ordinaryhuman5645 Год назад +51

    No kicks or assault armor hurts. Loader 4 is okay for ranged poking with the rifle and missiles, but the real damage happens with the blade, and after you've slashed twice you don't really have anything else and you might have set yourself up for a bad time if they're not staggered.

      Raven isn't ever directly gendered, same as the player character, it's open to player interpretation. Silent Line was the first AC game to make the pilot officially gender neutral through the arena descriptions.

    I did some random missions and some random bosses and everything was going fine. I thought "alright this seems feasible! Let me go against the enforcer and if I get this I might actually try the whole thing"

  • @Ghostwolf82
    @Ghostwolf82 Год назад +1

    Regarding the Ice Worm. This info would not have helped for this run, but it IS possible to beat it without the Stun Needle. Just use four Pulse weapons (Pulse guns in hands and Pulse cannons on the back), then get right up close at near point blank range and fire all four. The shield goes down fast. I haven’t done this myself (only learned about this method today), but I’ve seen someone’s video on RUclips where they S-Ranked this mission with a lightweight build using quad Pulses. No Hit, No Lock-On run. Future challenge?
    Edit: So, after stating I haven’t done this, I decided to try it myself. Took a few attempts, as you have to get the timing just right when it comes up out of the ground. I managed it in the end, but only just. Didn’t get S-Rank (got D-Rank), nor was it a No-Hit or No-Lock-On run, just seeing if the quad Pulse weapon method was still viable after the most recent update, and it is.

  • @Kaptime
    @Kaptime Год назад +3

    I tried to do this before the assault rifle buffs and it's fine all the way up to Ibis, you just can't maintain/build up the stagger very easily since it moves so fast and the AR used to do 0 damage. Aside from that L4 is fine for everything. For the field trip vs Iguana and the other redgun you can go to the right of the map and there is an MT that will make it a 2v2 and split their focus making it significantly easier.

  • @Thereisnogreatersword

    Despite having this happen countless times in my life, I'm STILL learning the lesson that your first impression is usually not the "right" impression. I went into this video with the sole thought "of COURSE it's possible, people have done Lv1 runs in literally every game imaginable". I hadn't even considered the Ice Worm until literally the moment you said "Chapter 3", and then I spent the next 5 minutes considering how you were possibly going to circumvent the gimmick boss. Was NOT expecting a tangent about how "it's okay if you want to consider the run dead and write it off as impossible to beat this game with the starter AC and equipment" with underlying tones of "also you're a huge f***ing dick if you do" 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 gg man, well played.

    (estimated time 10 to 15 minutres)
    also for the enforcer, the way you can dodge almost everything is by staying far and flying in circles verticaly. basicaly going up and down while strifing left and right is the best way to mess up the lock on system because it shoot where you would be so it's naturaly struggle with circles

      That works when she does it the first time, because you can distant yourself. But when she does it midfight and is closer to you, they still hit me 99% of the time. But maybe I'm just doing it wrong, that's why I'm asking haha
