Wow, over 10K views already! Thanks everyone! Be sure to give this challenge run another view and share it to your friends! Also I just passed 10K subscribers as well which feels too good to be true, but couldn't be happier knowing my hard work paid off. Took over 10 years to get there, but glad I got it later than never! Once again, thank you everyone! It means a lot to me!
I just found this channel and the quality is so high, can't believe it's taken you this long to hit 10 k. Good luck with the run man, the video is great.
@@skycats6663 It also would've been fitting given that Mara had a unique Fire move, Maralagidyne, also being a pun of his name. Coincidentally also a Fire move.
1:04:31 - "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT WAS A BACK ATTACK?!" - Brings a couple more hands with him - Zios Yosuke for 1 damage - Refuses to elaborate - they all leave
I hope more people adopt this method of doing a challenge run that basically starts after you get Chie, maybe even Yukiko. Love watching challenge runs but so many possibilities just end bc you wouldn't be able to pass the first dungeon abiding by the rules.
if youre in kanji's bathhouse on 5/20 you can just get a random skill change to get megido regardless of level, in speedruns we use this to get megido, repel physical, mind charge, brave blade as well as some other abilities on this day way earlier than normal
@@Mageman17 in the route i use yeah it has kaiwan involved, i don't know if it's dependant on him though. we just use rng manipulation on random skill changes from fusion to change specific skills to others so we turn dekaja to megido, tetrakarn into repel physical and repel physical into brave blade and then pass them all down onto a single persons all on 5/20 which is when we first start kanjis dungeon
I wasn't sure about going it on Easy, until I saw, uh, basically how this run actually went. It was definitely a wise move, and still this challenge led to so much pain, which ofc as viewers we love to see. P4 is such a world-class gem in any kind of run.
Short answer: No. Long answer: No but it's fun to watch regardless. Congratulations on that double boss clear without getting hit because I can't even begin to imagine that pain it caused to level up all that way so early.
So the Reaper seems to always start each battle with a mind charge, so if you use trifuri (the escape skill) you can always run from him. Helpful for when you want to continue picking up items from chests as escaping from his battle resets his counter.
Alternatively you just leave the floor when you max the counter (21 chests), and that resets the counter to 0. You miss one chest, but don't have to spend SP
@@magicball3201 that doesn’t seem to work for me because the Reaper will just appear in a chest on the next floor. The sound effect still happens. You seem to have to encounter him to reset the counter.
@@bubbasgotback431 my understanding of the reaper is upon getting opening your 21st chest if you interact with a chest with an enemy in it, it is replaced by the reaper. If you interact with a chest with no enemy, or leave the floor/dungeon, the game resets the counter. I've not extensively challenged the reaper, just 2 random encounters plus one more I forced to beat him, so perhaps I'm mistaken. The internet/wiki seemed to indicate as such though
Dude! I love this video a ton! such an interesting concept for a challenge, and I love your passion and know how for this game. Quick tip, try and cut out parts where you repeat yourself a ton, like in the beginning you repeated why you have retries on for Yukiko's castle on several times and most of the stream reaction can be covered in post commentary. All this should give a quicker, more animated video, and help increase your watch time. Best of luck man, looking forward to the next part!
this is the reason why I hate people saying doing this strat or that strat "isn't the way to play the game". The amount of patience and time taken as well as game knowledge is what can make the game so much fun to people
It's funny you mention the gas station attendant's gender, on my first playthrough I somehow missed the first couple times they're called a guy so I assumed they were a woman until well into the endgame stuff

I admit, I was thrown off by the leveling not increasing your current health, just your capacity, but I got used to it. Same could not be said for my fear of the Reaper, which people tell me can only spawn in chests after opening certain amount of them. Point is, I knew this was coming up so I never doubted you.
jack frost was the persona i used for the entirety of persona 4 golden for me. at first i did it as a joke because i would get a better persona but i slowly just got jack frost insanely op. i did over 1k damage on the final boss with jack frost on very hard mode. all of his stats were in the high 70s low 80s but his magic got maxed out
After having recently beaten P4G for the first time, something occured to me watching these challenge runs of P4: Kamoshida's Castle looks strangely like Yukiko's, at least from the outside. I mean, I love both games, but I just thought I would bring it up. I saw you uploaded this but instead of jumping right into the video, I wanted to wait until I played the game for myself, the same thing with the P3 challenge run.
I was gonna day Wouldn't the Chie fight have been better not doing All out attacks and just doing Once mores since your wind damage was doing way more than the all out attacks but you seemed to figure it out on the 5th retry. Crazy run idea though looking forward to seeing the rest!
If you spot a golden hand, go up or down a floor and comeback to that floor it's mega likely another golden hand is going to spawn on that floor. So you wouldn't need to save reset a lot of times, just one to get one hand (it might be less time consuming without the saving)
18:17 This is an actual issue with the game. no matter what kind of computer you have, if you stream P4g by OBS or you share screen in discrd, or do both, the ga,me WILL crash eventually, what varies is the amount of time between startup and crashing, it can happen on the title screen, or mid-way into a boss fight... I Would know, I tried this while showing my friends the game.
I feel like there has to be an issue with Yukikos Dungeon in General. I wasnt Screensharing or anything, and it crashed so offten in this Dungeon. Never had it that bad ever again, just this specific Dungeon.
3:54 Out of curiosity, what’s the best awakening in your opinion? Is it Zenkichi? Also, do you think Yu’s awakening is better in the animes or the game?
Damn that shadow Kanji tbh you should have used the magic mirror to reflect that fanatical spark.Since its Electric attack unless magic mirrors tetrakarm and makaram arent aloved.
Meggy dough and Ska-DEE are my favorite Personas. ... okay, sorry, couldn't resist! Sorry! xD Great run, man. Good grief, I wouldn't have the sheer patience and mental fortitude... x)
Don’t grab Hunting Nata, go to Konishi Liquor for for a nice strong Yosuke weapon capable of Poison, helped me very much in my first run Edit: what I should mean is, the Skill Spanner is first available on 5/1
Nanako was so cool, that now, when I see a little sister type character in a animé, I always evaluate her on the "Nanako's scale". She is my reference, like my Rem's Scale for confessions :p
So I mean the actual answer to the video topic would be no since at the very first battle very first thing happening is you getting hit. Also you do take damage while using phis skills. Great video non the less

Gl with the run man

Good on Spain for saving the entire run
@@lostsauce911 what
Oh man the nostalgia is real
Yu got so traumatised in the battle with Shadow Yosuke that he swore to never let himself be harmed again
True
I like to see it as Yu becoming so much of a gigachad that he made it a point to not be touched without his permission after that.
I can see the Shadow Yosuke fight being the point where Yu decided "Pain sucks... let's never have to deal with that again!"
I bet he visited a traveling therapist who always offered the best snacks in his office...
@@thejonbrownshow8470GOOD ONE 😂
The absolute missed opportunity of naming Yukiko's fire special "Burning Petals" instead of the infinitely better "Amagidyne"
Oh damn that's awesome!
Write that down…WRITE THAT DOWN!!
It suits Yukiko so much cause of her tendency to laugh at weird thing which includes puns.
@@skycats6663
It also would've been fitting given that Mara had a unique Fire move, Maralagidyne, also being a pun of his name. Coincidentally also a Fire move.
The original pun is in the fact that the kanji for both "flower" and "fire" are read the same way
1:04:31
- "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT WAS A BACK ATTACK?!"
- Brings a couple more hands with him
- Zios Yosuke for 1 damage
- Refuses to elaborate
- they all leave
It was so disrespectful too LMFAO
Lol
And all that shit, mind you, for 1 damage.
*ONE* .
That hand knew what it was doing
I like how the co-commentator is asked to do some navigation and does about as well as Teddie does
Bro was as helpful as Fuuka in P3FES 💀
I love how the makarakarn you placed way earlier on yukiko in the teddie fight ended up saving the run
I hope more people adopt this method of doing a challenge run that basically starts after you get Chie, maybe even Yukiko.
Love watching challenge runs but so many possibilities just end bc you wouldn't be able to pass the first dungeon abiding by the rules.
_i love finding random seemingly completely unrelated youtubers in the comments section of other smaller youtubers_
@@doublechindoge7 yeah i just had to see the reply like WHAT
Ah yes, the life action adaption of popular LN “I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Emotional Pain instead”
if youre in kanji's bathhouse on 5/20 you can just get a random skill change to get megido regardless of level, in speedruns we use this to get megido, repel physical, mind charge, brave blade as well as some other abilities on this day way earlier than normal
Huh, fascinating! I had no idea! That would have sped up the run by a lot!
Is this the Kaiwan skill change exploit?
@@Mageman17 in the route i use yeah it has kaiwan involved, i don't know if it's dependant on him though. we just use rng manipulation on random skill changes from fusion to change specific skills to others
so we turn dekaja to megido, tetrakarn into repel physical and repel physical into brave blade and then pass them all down onto a single persons all on 5/20 which is when we first start kanjis dungeon
@@matty4351 Nice. I really should try that. I've heard of it and it's potential, but it seemed long-winded.
@@Mageman17 It's worth it. I got Victory Cry exploiting Kaiwan and never had to bother doing the fox quests
That Chie AI costing the hand encounter... painful.
You can prevent physical damage,but you cant prevent emotional damage
My dude grinded up to level 70
I finished my first playthrough of golden at 80
This is pure dedication, I genuinely admire it
I love how in the tier list every party member has their normal portrait, and then there’s Rise with just the persona Q portrait
1:04:33 got to be my favorite moment. The fucking hands breathes in Yosuke’s general direction then left
If you Guard you can’t dodge attack
Didn't know that good to know whenever I boot up p4g again ty for the heads up
yea he says that around the 50 min mark of the vid, makes sense though
I’m throwing a like on this video for the torture of that grind you had to go through that much work deserves a like
Excellent video; looking forward to Part Two

Waiting in fear for shadow Misuo’s almighty spam (dragon quest sprite w/ baby inside guy)
Just making it to where you have in this vid is an achievement in it's own right...
Serious props for having the willpower to put up with this.
Your excitement when you accomplish something brings a smile to my face ☺️
Your friend doesn't seem like he's all the way there.

Holy moly it's seaniedew :o
I love that at 21:11, Yu only reminds you of the Jack Frost name. lol, pure synchronization
That Teddy fight is bound to be hell.

I just finished P4G for the first time and the first thing after was to run to see your P4 videos!
I like your Persona content alot!
If I had a shadow that can turn into some weird unholy monstrosity, I’d be willing to accept it
This is such a nostalgia, i really wish another season are released...😢 Thanks for uploading this tho...
I have to admit between this and gamechamp no damage run at pokemon I am astounded by the commitment and care that goes into these runs.
This has got to be the saddest thing you could put yourself through
I guess you haven't seen the P5R Doing Nothing run yet. THAT is sad.
Second saddest thing
Yeah, doing nothing run was soooooooo much worse
Even though i watched through all the streams the video was still a great watch
Also called "Yu narukami is overly cautious" run
It's funny you mention the gas station attendant's gender, on my first playthrough I somehow missed the first couple times they're called a guy so I assumed they were a woman until well into the endgame stuff
I'm late but this might b on par w nyarlys orpheus only run. This one one of my top 3 persona videos ATP period good video!
hoyl crap not even 30 minutes n i get liked what a G
This is one of your favourites, so I'm happy for you that nitsuagamer liked the comment
Also, one of, if not the best I have seen, it's kind of a tie between this run and the doing nothing run
the Perfect Intro, starting at 4/20
Also, F for Dojima, Adachi, and ESPECIALLY Nanako :(
my guy, u are a fking madlad for doing this, props to u for doing the run i will never even attempt
Love this and cannot wait to see more!

masochism has reached a completely new level.

Here for the preview!!
So I was looking at the wiki and since it gives an extra turn it's probably impossible to dodge Nullity Guidance
(19:07)
the only time the game crashed on me was during the backtracking part of secret base, which was quite annoying..
Everyone gets caught by the killer twins at least once in P4
Good job! Keep up the good work!
52:38 Teddie makes bad dad jokes as well I love it

Idk if it's a hardware thing, but I streamed most of the game with my cousin on discord and I haven't had the game crash before.
@@Kairos_Akuma not just yukiko, any dungeon or fight,
Like for me, it crashed in both izanami and Margaret.
Persona but getting hit by a fireball is getting hit by a fireball and you'd rather not die.
3:54 Out of curiosity, what’s the best awakening in your opinion? Is it Zenkichi?
Also, do you think Yu’s awakening is better in the animes or the game?
It's obviously the awakening in Persona 3, especially with thanatos ripping itself out of orpheus.
I just got p4g last Thursday and I'll try this challenge because why not
Highly don't recommend as a first playthrough. You can take tips from this run, but allow yourself to get hurt on your first playthrough.
Seriously. Take it from us. Do have fun with the game first before jumping into despair and agony xD
Dont do that please. You dont wanna hate a game that is actually good
It took many many hours of grinding to be able to do this run
I recommend just playing the game casually ^^
@nitsuagamer
Your masochism is spreading
Damn that shadow Kanji tbh you should have used the magic mirror to reflect that fanatical spark.Since its Electric attack unless magic mirrors tetrakarm and makaram arent aloved.
Shouldn't the true final boss also be in the category of "damage is allowed in this instance"?
The shadow Yosuke kinda looks like ryoji from persona 3 funny since Yuri Lowentheal voices both characters
You guys sound like the the "ACKSHULLY" meme irl
Thank you for clarifiying insta-death counts.

As far as I know, you can't pick up the Skill Spanner until after you complete Yukiko's Castle.

Oh shit this video 3 days old... i thought this was old so i would watch all of them...
0:08 take my sub and continue to exist just to spite your self
Grinding is so easy in this game, set xp gain to more and you are over leveled for the next dungeon
5:40 you... you did not just...
I thought legit thought the gas station attendant was a man until the boss fight 😂
Ngl your co commentator is kinda annoying, good video nonetheless
True bro has the most annoying voice ever to grace this earth
Nice bear pun lol 49:02
It’s a neat idea, although you technically already lost the challenge once you take emotional damage
19:00 too much ice attacks
That bufu item froze the the game
Nanako was so cool, that now, when I see a little sister type character in a animé, I always evaluate her on the "Nanako's scale". She is my reference, like my Rem's Scale for confessions :p
Sick video ngl
Insane run !
So I mean the actual answer to the video topic would be no since at the very first battle very first thing happening is you getting hit.
Also you do take damage while using phis skills.
Great video non the less
This is pretty cool, but seems crazy painful
This is going to be interesting....
This video is unBEARable!
Why did you intentionally only buy 98 of items from the shop?
