@@3xp3r1m3ntation In some other videos of people doing the challenge, there are health pons and fewer Pompous Crows (the ones that love pushing you off the edge). But the versions I’ve played on PS4 and Switch made it harder by adding many more P crows, ESPECIALLY around the Mafia guys, and they also got rid of the health pons.
@@DedicatedCaffeineUser I believe at the beginning the one hit hero badge was mandatory, and the 2nd bonus at the time was a 65 second time limit.

I mean that could explain the noises in the bedroom. If you don’t know what that is it’s where some very unsettling noises play if you stay in the bedroom for around 10 minutes.
I recently started playing A Hat In Time and when I was doing Death Wishes, I had already played my own version of survival in the regular level "Your Contract has Expired" (because I love the boss fight) so I have 17min of survival time on the Quality time With Snatcher Death Wish
Cruising is really only so terrible because of remembering where to go on the ship it's tedious because you need to take out of the way and all over the place routes to get somewhere and when your carrying like 50 items at once your jumping becomes exceedingly difficult as your constantly drifting
It would be the death wish where you ahve to fight all the EX bosses in a row ending with SNATCHER EX + becuase it's the four hardest bosses in the game in a row if you die three times at any point you start over again with your health carrying from each battle and you probably get the point by now.
God, Cruisin for a Bruisin was such hell, even worse since I actually really liked the original Ship Shape Wound-Up Windmill was actually pretty fun with the timestop hat, but yeah, I didn’t even TRY to do it without hats
I mostly agree, but imo, Security Breach is THE easiest death wish in the game, INCLUDING bonuses, since I literally beat this level and both bonuses on my second ever run.
its good to see some more ppl who absolutely despise cruisin for a bruisin 🔥🔥🔥 (im literally at 113 stamps right now i have to get 70 tasks done on cruisin for a bruisin until i basically 100% seal the deal)
Quality time with snatcher could be cheesed by bringing an apple from outside of the ring and bringing it in and throwing it against the outer border of the arena. Just standing on it causes you to avoid everything without getting hit. I’m not sure if it’s been patched out though. Been a while since I’ve tried.
10 seconds until self destruct probably took me more attempts than every other deathwish combined. Barring the Mafia Boss, because one-hit heroing that fight is an utter nightmare.
something that makes quality time a lot easier is that when he spins his dwellers around you can actually stand right up to the pool that he's spinning from. there's no hitbox up there.
As someone who experiences sensory overload pretty damn often, the stages that make things quicker or heighten the stress absolutely fuck with me. But don’t get me started on the boss fights, oh Jesus Christ the boss fights. I made it a challenge to beat them without turning off screen shake and it was fucking miserable. Killing Two Birds is a prime example, only damaging one director till the end of the fight was painful, because not only did I have to fight with the screen shake, The janky knives and the overall RNG Nature of the fight. I had to the fight THE FUCKING CAMERA. The amount of times where it would follow DJ Grooves or the conductor and put the other directly out of view of the camera was frustrating because I wouldn’t know what the attack was until it was either raw luck or rammed up my arse.
3:01 Funny thing with the illness has speed run. When I finally cleared it I had less than a second left on the clock. My final time was like. 6 minutes and 59.9 seconds.
And honestly security breach was absolutely one of the easiest for me. I think im just a sucker for battle of the birds (Specifically the conductor lmao) and have spent way to long playing that chapter but its really easy to memorize the patterns
If the boss rush was included, then "Seal The Deal" would be the hardest of the hardest, because it is literally all the bosses at once. But still, Wound Up windmill is what makes the game so much harder, that even a intermediate like me can't make it through all 114 death wishes!
the thing about the windmill is i just slowly found ways to skip all the hardest parts, theres a really easy way to skip the entire 2nd floor (basically right next to the one you showed but much easier) then i kept dieing close to the end until i found a way to trick the game and respawn way higher up then where i was( but i guess thats not an option in 1 it hero
Im doing the windmill rn, since I really loved the normal windmill, I refused to use the time hat, but DAMN that shit is horrible Btw now that I know that it's "not using hat abilities" instead of "dont slow down the flow of time" Im probably gonna use it, but just on parts that I already figured out how to get through them
I thought the same about Wound Up Windmill, I was having a VERY HARD time beating the stage, and I was even shocked when I saw the bonuses, one day I saw a speed run video where he skips most of the stage and by now I can safely say it’s actually fun to play by now 💀
Windmill is very hard but no more bad guys is definitely the hardest deathwish excluding seal the deal. Mustache girl ex literally took me over 290 attempts. Nearly 300 attempts absolutely broke me but it was so worth it. This fight is so incredibly fun and engaging and is one of my favorite bosses in video game history. Windmill was an absolute menace too though.
Honestly security breach doesn’t belong here. It wasn’t even that much harder than the actual level. Most of the birds are added in areas you already had to avoid anyway, you just have to trek through differently. Worst case scenario you can use the Time stop hat in some areas if your timming is really bad. The last bonus is a lil tricky, but you can do it fairly ok with enough tries/patience. Edit: also hooternany should be lower. Yeah the dj grooves token bonus is so ridiculous its almost insulting the devs asked you to do it but, everything else is pretty easy. The band wont hit you as long as your moving.
this video made me realise that excluding bosses there isnt much hard death wishes, i find first half of the list pretty easy, also there are few more skips in wound up windmill that makes you skip almost half of the level, so i think cruisin for bruisin is harder because there isnt any way to make it easier
The one that gave me the most trouble was the Conductor+DJGrooves EX boss fight. Took me forever to get through this mess, I'm glad it has the best music in the game at least.
I honestly think the "complete 40 tasks without missing one" challenge in Cruisin' for a Bruisin' is by far the most difficult non-boss challenge. Once you start getting 5+ tasks on screen on your screen at a time it becomes super easy to get overwhelm or even determine where you have to go next (not to mention the fact that you can barely go in a straight line if you have too many items on hand). Plus how easy/hard of a time you're going to have feels largely up to luck at times since you may get the tasks spawning super close or all the way on opposite ends of the map. Wound-up Windmill is still brutal if going for full completion, but at path ahead is always the same so its purely a matter of skill (that and there's plenty of ways to take shortcuts to reach the end).
Ironically did both missions on the ilness has speedrun on the first try. And also both missions on the security when I finally managed to beat it. The bird hell, full speed windmill hell and mustache hell are absolutely brutal
Completing all 3 Security Breach challenges actually wasn't too difficult for me, although that might have something more to do with how many times I've had to help my siblings on the normal version of this level...
In wound up windmill there’s two skips The first is at the very start you kill the 5 crows and you jump to a spinning platform The second is you jump as the elevator reaches the top it slingshots you up and you land on a higher platform
Randomly stumbled onto this video and was hit with a wave of Death Wish PTSD. Even then, i didn't complete the bonus objectives for most of them, using mod levels instead to reach the points to progress. The hardest for me was definitely the train, moustache gauntlet, the boss rush, and Snatcher and Moustache Girl EX fights. Weirdly enough I found Great Big Hootenany pretty easy, though again, i dont go for bonus objectives
Personally for me cruisin for a brusin was harder than windmill. While windmill requires near perfect play to get both bonuses. Crusin for a brusin requires not only skillful play, but also an insanely deep knowledge of this massive ship along with a fair bit of luck. Getting 40, and even 70 tasks is honestly easy, but completing all 40 tasks without missing a single one required absolute perfection. Still probably one of my favorite death wishes though, fight me.
Killing Two Birds can be pretty hard but also pretty fun depending on how well everything goes. Until you have to do the bonus where you only hit one director then it’s just pre-nyakuza bird sanctuary but as a boss fight.
I turned on easy mode and had a god mode badge mode on bc I wanted the snatcher skin and I knew I couldn't do it without it Edit: I found wound up windmill somewhat annoying and fun, considering I was just going for the main objective, I did it before I did the god mode stuff
I respect your opinion, but I totally don't agree: -10: I agree. You just need a good route, but it took me some attempts to actually find one -9: I can't really judge how difficult it is for others, because I've done a speedrun -8: Quality Time with Snatcher is extremely easy (I even survived 15 minutes once) -7: I agree -6: I agree, because it's not that hard, but really annoying -5: It's a lot of fun (But it is kinda hard with One-Hit Hero) -4: A longer line? Just take bigger circles. It's not difficult at all -3: If we count every bonus for the Top 10, I just have one word: PAIN -2: Cruisin' for a Bruisin' is the hardest (I've completed every bonus, but this one... I was only able to beat it on easy mode...) -1: My dude... Sorry, but it's a lot of fun and just today I obtained the One-Hit Hero Bonus But these are just my opinions, as well as those in the video are yours. Edit: Wait!!! I didn't know you could use the Ice Hat... Apparently this Death Wish is easy...
In terms of difficult/annoying contracts I beat almost every deathwish without peace and tranquility with the exceptions being the illness has speedrun and cruisin for a bruisin I will do them normally once day but today is *not* that day lmao
Tip for The Illness Has Speedrun: If you fall off, the game will respawn you right next to the ziplines. If you intentionally jump off after destroying the flowers you can get back to the main island noticably faster than if you ran down. That's what I did to the the bonuses.
so, funny story abt the great big hootenanny for me, after about 4 tries, I managed to get to the end where the prize was released. As I got to the time piece, I GRABBED IT... And the parade owls swarmed me. I died while picking the damn thing up. Sobbing. Edit: Finally did it aaaaahhhhh
10 seconds till self destruct is easy with the cheese, just play the level without the one hit badge until right before you hit the button put it on, the game only checks what you have on when you click the button, though I will admit doing it legit is difficult(the furthest I've gotten was the 3rd set of panels before the end, at 99x attempts) Bird sanctuary is easy if you take it slow, and with a couple skips, you can easily deal with the mafia by leadng the crows away then using the timestop hat to kill the mafia. You also don't even need to clear the stage for the mafia bonus to count. I did the one hit bonus 2nd try, but the mafia one took 43.
I love A Hat in Time. I love platformers. I am a completionist. I don't think I'll complete these. The platforming is simply too janky at a certain point.
I'm in the same boat plus I enjoy speedrunning and I agree. This games movement is really solid at some times, but it can be really infuriating at other times

Rift collapse: Subcon forest i HATE rift collapses the are so infuriating to me it took me over 2 months for the deep sea rift collapse and crusin for a brusin is the only one i havent done yet
The Great Big Hootenanny is ACTUAL bullshit. Even with Peace and Tranquility on (Which as far as I can tell, just makes the penguins drop health more often whenever you aren't being tasked to press the buttons and I *think* it also lowers the number of owls following you to 20 [EDIT: No, it doesn't]) it doesn't change the fact that you're trying to avoid a ton of owls that you'll probably get hit by because you got stuck behind a freaking chimney, meaning you get flung in the air in an unpredictable direction while locking your controls, meaning there's a chance you'll stay airborne *just* long enough for your I-frames to wear off and then drop directly into the crowd below causing you to get hit again, and then you'll get stuck under one of the balconies causing you to get hit *again,* only to finally steer yourself back onto a rooftop that is currently sizzling due to pyrotechnics that just straight-up *won't* turn off, meaning you just died and have to start all over again. Can you tell whether or not I beat this contract at the time of writing this? I'll give you two guesses and I'll completely ignore the first one. Quick Edit: This was made before I unlocked his #2 and #1 choices, and I'm torn on each: #2: The original version was already a hassle for me, so I am *not* looking forward to it #1: Surprisingly, I *am* looking forward to it. It actually seems like a fun challenge (Forgoing the bonus challenges of course, I wanna keep SOME sanity intact).
Wound Up Windmill is so much easier than bird sanctuary, Bird Sanctuary is annoying as shit while Wound Up windmill has about 3 enemies that actually matter.
For SB I did the first bonus on accident but for a lot of these I just threw myself threw most of these with time stop not but I have never done the ship shape one and I’m not going to but anything with one hit hero in it I’m not doing but I find SB the easiest out of all the deathwishs at least in this list but I find windmill 2nd hardest while I find the moustache gauntlet thing the hardest on this list
I think down with the mfa is the hardest death wish ever. I'm trying to think how to beat him but nothing working do you now how to beat the mfa boss in death wish.
I slightly disagree with the lower end. I still haven't beaten vault codes 3 stamps and illness has speedrun full stop, despite alpine skyline being my second favourite chapter but I got 3 stamps on quality time and security breach first try. I love this video tho
Originally killing a bird would instantly kill you, and the bonus was to clear the level in 65 seconds. With the Nyakuza Metro update it was changed so that killing a bird merely damages you, and the bonus is instead to clear it without taking damage.
Hey, so I know this is kind of random, but for some reason your name is familiar?? So I have a really weird question to ask you: Were you in/did you interact with the online twitter parody community in the time between august 2019 to may 2020? Because I SWEAR I'm either mixing you up with someone under a similar name or we were friends on twitter at some point. I can almost swear up and down that we were either in a chat called the Cult of E together or you were in a chat called "The Empty Void." I havent touched twitter in like, years but I used to run a Snatcher parody account, as well as a Waddle dee one and two hollow knight ones. Sorry if I'm just being a dumb dumb and just outed my sins (I like to pretend all of that never happened) and just wasted your time. Because you very well not be who I was thinking of. But I saw your name and was like "Skythe_LOC? Why do I know that name??".
There was a breif time where a bunch of parody accounts followed me and i commented on a few of their posts yes. I dont recall a snatcher one but the waddle dee one may ring a bell or two. Though I cant say for certain
@@AstralKat It's @ was @/Parawaddledee I think, and the characters name was Chaos for some reason. No matter if you were the person I knew, I really like your content now that Ive watched a few videos. :)
Is it bad that i did the 10 seconds till self destruct one hit hero challenge on my first try? Like uhh… yeah. Its really not that hard of a challenge guys idk what to say.
I did find Security breach actually kinda easy tbh Mustache Gauntlet actually made me INSANE BECAUSE OF THESE STUPIDS BIRDS AND THIS UMBRRLLA THAT DOES NOT WANT TO HIT Tip: Use ice hat to crush these stupid fire birds if you cant hit with the umbrella And Windmill.. Idk if ill even try the bonus.. I barely did it kinda cheating cuz i have a mod that gives me a camping kit that allows me to heal 🫠
i know im late, i know opinions are different, but im missing 2 Missions there. 1. Killing Two Birds, with only Focusing one, is such a cancer to play. 2. The Deep Sea Time Rift with all Pons, THAT Shit, is STILL Frustrating me bcs i started to play this again. and it makes me SO FUCKING ANGRY XD
Killing 2 birds is a boss so it was banned from the list from the start. As for deep sea time rift, honestly never found any of them to be hard personally. But i understand why they could be challenging
@@AstralKat oh yea r8, funny how i instantly forgot that Bosses were banned xD Actually, the Deep Sea all Pons shit Was abit more Easy than i said it was, bcs i did it in between these 8 hours and, the only frustrating part is legit the last Stage & those 4:30 minutes of waiting in between, it was just a trial and error like, every other death wish :^)
Uhh security breach aint that hard, I did every task on my first completion (I tried like 3 times) and got every single bonus .... Vault codes is easy cuz u dont need to do all of the bonuses on the same run
Thanks so much for watching everyone! which death wish do you think is the hardest?

Edit: also hooternany should be lower. Yeah the dj grooves token bonus is so ridiculous its almost insulting the devs asked you to do it but, everything else is pretty easy. The band wont hit you as long as your moving.
this video made me realise that excluding bosses there isnt much hard death wishes, i find first half of the list pretty easy, also there are few more skips in wound up windmill that makes you skip almost half of the level, so i think cruisin for bruisin is harder because there isnt any way to make it easier
The one that gave me the most trouble was the Conductor+DJGrooves EX boss fight. Took me forever to get through this mess, I'm glad it has the best music in the game at least.
NGL everyone knew what number 1 was gonna be, screw that level
I honestly think the "complete 40 tasks without missing one" challenge in Cruisin' for a Bruisin' is by far the most difficult non-boss challenge. Once you start getting 5+ tasks on screen on your screen at a time it becomes super easy to get overwhelm or even determine where you have to go next (not to mention the fact that you can barely go in a straight line if you have too many items on hand). Plus how easy/hard of a time you're going to have feels largely up to luck at times since you may get the tasks spawning super close or all the way on opposite ends of the map.
Wound-up Windmill is still brutal if going for full completion, but at path ahead is always the same so its purely a matter of skill (that and there's plenty of ways to take shortcuts to reach the end).
Ironically did both missions on the ilness has speedrun on the first try. And also both missions on the security when I finally managed to beat it.
The bird hell, full speed windmill hell and mustache hell are absolutely brutal
Completing all 3 Security Breach challenges actually wasn't too difficult for me, although that might have something more to do with how many times I've had to help my siblings on the normal version of this level...
Same I beat all 3 my first attempt I only had 7000 pons in debt and I didn’t even know not getting spotted was a bonus
In wound up windmill there’s two skips
The first is at the very start you kill the 5 crows and you jump to a spinning platform
The second is you jump as the elevator reaches the top it slingshots you up and you land on a higher platform
On my successful attempt, I did not get hit by the band
Randomly stumbled onto this video and was hit with a wave of Death Wish PTSD. Even then, i didn't complete the bonus objectives for most of them, using mod levels instead to reach the points to progress. The hardest for me was definitely the train, moustache gauntlet, the boss rush, and Snatcher and Moustache Girl EX fights.
Weirdly enough I found Great Big Hootenany pretty easy, though again, i dont go for bonus objectives
i had the game 100% completed before the dlc came out. now, in 2022 i still have yet to get any farther than 10 seconds until self destruct
Personally for me cruisin for a brusin was harder than windmill. While windmill requires near perfect play to get both bonuses. Crusin for a brusin requires not only skillful play, but also an insanely deep knowledge of this massive ship along with a fair bit of luck. Getting 40, and even 70 tasks is honestly easy, but completing all 40 tasks without missing a single one required absolute perfection. Still probably one of my favorite death wishes though, fight me.
Killing Two Birds can be pretty hard but also pretty fun depending on how well everything goes. Until you have to do the bonus where you only hit one director then it’s just pre-nyakuza bird sanctuary but as a boss fight.
Wound up Windmill wasn’t *that* hard :3
I turned on easy mode and had a god mode badge mode on bc I wanted the snatcher skin and I knew I couldn't do it without it
Edit: I found wound up windmill somewhat annoying and fun, considering I was just going for the main objective, I did it before I did the god mode stuff
I respect your opinion, but I totally don't agree:
-10: I agree. You just need a good route, but it took me some attempts to actually find one
-9: I can't really judge how difficult it is for others, because I've done a speedrun
-8: Quality Time with Snatcher is extremely easy (I even survived 15 minutes once)
-7: I agree
-6: I agree, because it's not that hard, but really annoying
-5: It's a lot of fun (But it is kinda hard with One-Hit Hero)
-4: A longer line? Just take bigger circles. It's not difficult at all
-3: If we count every bonus for the Top 10, I just have one word: PAIN
-2: Cruisin' for a Bruisin' is the hardest (I've completed every bonus, but this one... I was only able to beat it on easy mode...)
-1: My dude... Sorry, but it's a lot of fun and just today I obtained the One-Hit Hero Bonus
But these are just my opinions, as well as those in the video are yours.
Edit: Wait!!! I didn't know you could use the Ice Hat...
Apparently this Death Wish is easy...
Love hearing other peoples thoughts, thanks for sharing them!
nah, delivery is way harder than the parkour mission u listed as teh hardest, at least for me
In terms of difficult/annoying contracts
I beat almost every deathwish without peace and tranquility with the exceptions being the illness has speedrun and cruisin for a bruisin
I will do them normally once day but today is *not* that day lmao
Tip for The Illness Has Speedrun: If you fall off, the game will respawn you right next to the ziplines. If you intentionally jump off after destroying the flowers you can get back to the main island noticably faster than if you ran down. That's what I did to the the bonuses.
so, funny story abt the great big hootenanny for me, after about 4 tries, I managed to get to the end where the prize was released. As I got to the time piece, I GRABBED IT... And the parade owls swarmed me. I died while picking the damn thing up. Sobbing.
Edit: Finally did it aaaaahhhhh
Happy for u :D
Mfw Wound up Windmill is one of my favorite death wishes
Also 11:23 I’ve had a lot of tokens land on actively sparking platforms
I spent so long on bird sanctuary, tbh probably my favorite death wish so far
10 seconds till self destruct is easy with the cheese, just play the level without the one hit badge until right before you hit the button put it on, the game only checks what you have on when you click the button, though I will admit doing it legit is difficult(the furthest I've gotten was the 3rd set of panels before the end, at 99x attempts)
Bird sanctuary is easy if you take it slow, and with a couple skips, you can easily deal with the mafia by leadng the crows away then using the timestop hat to kill the mafia. You also don't even need to clear the stage for the mafia bonus to count. I did the one hit bonus 2nd try, but the mafia one took 43.
I love A Hat in Time. I love platformers. I am a completionist. I don't think I'll complete these. The platforming is simply too janky at a certain point.
I'm in the same boat plus I enjoy speedrunning and I agree. This games movement is really solid at some times, but it can be really infuriating at other times
Mustache guy Ex is one of the hardest bosses of all time right up there with critical mode Yozora from KH3 and DMD Vergil from DMC3
1. crusin for a brusin
2.Rift collapse: deep sea
3.Seal the deal
4.Rift collapse: Dead bird studio
5.Killing two birds
6.The mustache gauntlet
7.No more bad guys
8.Breaching the contract
9.Rift collapse: Alpine skyline
10. Rift collapse: Subcon forest
i HATE rift collapses the are so infuriating to me it took me over 2 months for the deep sea rift collapse and crusin for a brusin is the only one i havent done yet
I beat the illness has speed runs when I was 10 and it's probably very rare that I actually beat it
The Great Big Hootenanny is ACTUAL bullshit.
Even with Peace and Tranquility on (Which as far as I can tell, just makes the penguins drop health more often whenever you aren't being tasked to press the buttons and I *think* it also lowers the number of owls following you to 20 [EDIT: No, it doesn't]) it doesn't change the fact that you're trying to avoid a ton of owls that you'll probably get hit by because you got stuck behind a freaking chimney, meaning you get flung in the air in an unpredictable direction while locking your controls, meaning there's a chance you'll stay airborne *just* long enough for your I-frames to wear off and then drop directly into the crowd below causing you to get hit again, and then you'll get stuck under one of the balconies causing you to get hit *again,* only to finally steer yourself back onto a rooftop that is currently sizzling due to pyrotechnics that just straight-up *won't* turn off, meaning you just died and have to start all over again.
Can you tell whether or not I beat this contract at the time of writing this? I'll give you two guesses and I'll completely ignore the first one.
Quick Edit: This was made before I unlocked his #2 and #1 choices, and I'm torn on each:
#2: The original version was already a hassle for me, so I am *not* looking forward to it
#1: Surprisingly, I *am* looking forward to it. It actually seems like a fun challenge (Forgoing the bonus challenges of course, I wanna keep SOME sanity intact).
Wound Up Windmill is so much easier than bird sanctuary, Bird Sanctuary is annoying as shit while Wound Up windmill has about 3 enemies that actually matter.
For SB I did the first bonus on accident but for a lot of these I just threw myself threw most of these with time stop not but I have never done the ship shape one and I’m not going to but anything with one hit hero in it I’m not doing but I find SB the easiest out of all the deathwishs at least in this list but I find windmill 2nd hardest while I find the moustache gauntlet thing the hardest on this list
I think down with the mfa is the hardest death wish ever. I'm trying to think how to beat him but nothing working do you now how to beat the mfa boss in death wish.
ship shape is so hard i haven’t even beat it on the none death wish
I totally agree with this list.
I love the wound up windmill song 🎶
Why was “The Illness Has Speedrun” even on this list? I beat it in 5 minutes 30 seconds on my first try without mods.
If the penguins work for dj groooooves than why are the express owls in the big parade
I accidentally didn't hit the owls in the big hootany so yeah;-;
I slightly disagree with the lower end. I still haven't beaten vault codes 3 stamps and illness has speedrun full stop, despite alpine skyline being my second favourite chapter but I got 3 stamps on quality time and security breach first try. I love this video tho
Wait. Was bird sanctuary changed? I was at the end and didn't remember those things
Originally killing a bird would instantly kill you, and the bonus was to clear the level in 65 seconds. With the Nyakuza Metro update it was changed so that killing a bird merely damages you, and the bonus is instead to clear it without taking damage.
@@zerarch77 "without taking damage" as in using one-hit hero, which means not killing a bird [i mean, it kinda damages you so yeah]
I agree on the windmill
SOOOO HAAAARRRRD
i've had the game for like 2 years and still haven't beaten cruisin for a bruisin
i beat it but not with the bonuses its way too hard
@@benclarke2482 same
I hate the no jumping challenge i hate the ice cap jumps, and i hate the fact im forced to do it on owl express
i fucking died so many times on the parade mission i lot count
imo security breach and the great big hootenanny isn't that bad
Quality time with snatcher was a 1 try for me that was super easy
I wonder how does every stamp compare to each other in deathwish.
Imagine the list if bosses are included
Hey, so I know this is kind of random, but for some reason your name is familiar?? So I have a really weird question to ask you: Were you in/did you interact with the online twitter parody community in the time between august 2019 to may 2020? Because I SWEAR I'm either mixing you up with someone under a similar name or we were friends on twitter at some point. I can almost swear up and down that we were either in a chat called the Cult of E together or you were in a chat called "The Empty Void."
I havent touched twitter in like, years but I used to run a Snatcher parody account, as well as a Waddle dee one and two hollow knight ones. Sorry if I'm just being a dumb dumb and just outed my sins (I like to pretend all of that never happened) and just wasted your time. Because you very well not be who I was thinking of. But I saw your name and was like "Skythe_LOC? Why do I know that name??".
There was a breif time where a bunch of parody accounts followed me and i commented on a few of their posts yes. I dont recall a snatcher one but the waddle dee one may ring a bell or two. Though I cant say for certain
@@AstralKat It's @ was @/Parawaddledee I think, and the characters name was Chaos for some reason. No matter if you were the person I knew, I really like your content now that Ive watched a few videos. :)
The name sounds familiar, regardless im glad you're enjoying my content!
I agree.
It's a good thing I have Lilac's earrings
tiktakdylan
Yes
Is it bad that i did the 10 seconds till self destruct one hit hero challenge on my first try? Like uhh… yeah. Its really not that hard of a challenge guys idk what to say.
I thought mustache girl ex all in one go was hell, not hat abilities, under 3 mins, don't miss a single action.
I did find Security breach actually kinda easy tbh
Mustache Gauntlet actually made me INSANE BECAUSE OF THESE STUPIDS BIRDS AND THIS UMBRRLLA THAT DOES NOT WANT TO HIT
Tip: Use ice hat to crush these stupid fire birds if you cant hit with the umbrella
And Windmill.. Idk if ill even try the bonus.. I barely did it kinda cheating cuz i have a mod that gives me a camping kit that allows me to heal 🫠
ummm..... did he forget bout the boss rush mission (snatcher ex+ form)?
*she not he.
And no I didnt. I excluded bosses. Thats a literal boss rush. So theres no way it would have made the list
@@AstralKat ah ok
Quality time with snatcher ain’t THAT hard. You just have to dodge! 😂
wait, people find great big hootenanny hard? i did that shit as the MUSTACHE GIRL MOD. aka, this games modded hard mode.
Fun fact: it took me 15 months and 1 year to finally beat “The big great Hootany”, if i spelled that wrong please forgive me :-:
as someone that did all this on assist mode, i really can disagree
i know im late, i know opinions are different, but im missing 2 Missions there. 1. Killing Two Birds, with only Focusing one, is such a cancer to play. 2. The Deep Sea Time Rift with all Pons, THAT Shit, is STILL Frustrating me bcs i started to play this again. and it makes me SO FUCKING ANGRY XD
Killing 2 birds is a boss so it was banned from the list from the start. As for deep sea time rift, honestly never found any of them to be hard personally. But i understand why they could be challenging
@@AstralKat oh yea r8, funny how i instantly forgot that Bosses were banned xD Actually, the Deep Sea all Pons shit Was abit more Easy than i said it was, bcs i did it in between these 8 hours and, the only frustrating part is legit the last Stage & those 4:30 minutes of waiting in between, it was just a trial and error like, every other death wish :^)
I dont get why Security breach is here I'm terrible but the Security breach death wish was the easiest death wish I encountered
Kind of a filler spot TBH, I'd remove it if I ever remade this video. Plus I just wanted to make the security breach joke lol
Uhh security breach aint that hard, I did every task on my first completion (I tried like 3 times) and got every single bonus .... Vault codes is easy cuz u dont need to do all of the bonuses on the same run
Security breach is so easy I got all 3 achievements on my first try
5:45
Aaaaaaaaaa these levels pain m
SEcurity breach isnt even that hard i didn't even rack up 30000 pons
