The death animation is hilarious, he completely stop what he was doing, all momentum lost, stares into the distance and then dramatically falls to the floor, work of art
A tip for anyone trying this run. If you want to disarm the rotation bombs to get the much needed trap parts but are struggling with the tiny margin, try not watching the dial go round, instead stare right in the centre dot and let your peripheral track when to stop it. Not perfect but I got way more with this technique, couldn’t get any before. Hope this helps anyone who might need it!
Absolutely, every time I did manage to get it, the needle would always land in the centre or on the very edge of just missing it, never in a random part of the margin which felt very intentional. Like they wanted to make you think you hadn't got it for a sec
The thing that suprises me most, is the amount of positive emotions this gentelman has through more than 350 deaths... You sir are awesome and got my subscription. Hope to see more from you.
I finished Akumu mode on the PS4 version of The Evil Within back in 2017 and....yeah it’s insane. ESPECIALLY the final boss (which I believe took me 5-6 hours to beat). I’m just glad that more people are talking about The Evil Within tho I love this game.
How did you struggle that badly on the final boss? The only difference on Akumu is that you need to hit him with more rockets and you need to shoot Ruvik almost instantly when he opens his mouth.
Yeah, they just turn the game into complete trial and error. Imo, the mode would actually be fun and rewarding if it wasn't for those stupid fucking bear traps. In a mode where any damage kills you, having nearly invisible instakill traps everywhere is imo just bad game design.
"This is fine. ... I lied." If that doesn't summarize the entire playthrough. Well done Snam, you're truly a King for pushing through some of the most torturous difficulties, and modes in these games; whether for our entertainment, your some sort of masochistic languishing, or a mixture of the above - we thank, and applaud you. Another job well done. I also personally appreciate your ability to cut down a 21hr run in to 37 -much easier consumable- minutes.
Just beat Akumu yesterday. It feels horribly unfair at times but the satisfaction of clearing a stage just with your game knowledge and big brain use of the environment is goddamn satisfying. This proves how great the level design is in this game
I did this achievement about a year ago and almost lost my mind. Since this is my favorite game I felt obliged to 100% it and it was totally worth the experience. I had to reset at chapter 11 because I got soft locked since I didn’t have enough ammo, but it was still fun to see how fast I got back. Seriously hope they make a 3rd game
The game can even soft lock you just because you don’t have enough Ammo? That’s kinda agonizing and demotivating to read, I was gonna try this achievement but fuck this if there‘s a chance of being soft locked at the very end of the game
@@Avyrr Somewhat. In lower difficulties, you can always scrounge by or trade a hit to skip sections. In AKUMU, since it's all one-shot kills, you don't have that luxury, and knowing when to save ammo and when to dump ammo is mission critical, the same reason you constantly have to risk disarming traps to craft xbow ammo. Thankfully, the Akumu mode means you can save a lot of XP on useless upgrades (Like damage reduction, health buffs, health regen) coz it's never going to matter, so usually you dump that XP on xbow upgrades, pistol crits, stamina and match capacity. Still, I would not play AKUMU mode because one-hit kills in a game pisses me off, and there's already plenty of it in TEW1 to begin with.
@@thomasgulley305 I used to struggle on that fight it was super fun though, but the I saw this guy placing 5 or 6 explosive bolts between where the keepers spawn so that they explode as they are walking towards you if they survive that you put 1 to 2 pistol shots on them and poof, the fight is done lol
So something really funny about Chapter 6 when I attempted Akumu mode….in your playthrough Joseph gave you literal hell by dying all the time and was probably a real thorn in your side, but my experience was the exact OPPOSITE. Not only did Joseph finally learn how to balance on a plank, but he also interrupted the enemies kill animations when I got grabbed; he SAVED my ass multiple times from a restart! If only your Joseph wasn’t a walking hazard sign in this run lol
Beat this mode 3 separate times and I remember all too well getting bodied by a flailing elbow or a shin kick. You think you you have the upper hand because the enemy is on the ground and you have matches on the ready. Match is lit and….WTF??? HOW AM I DEAD??? Dude on the ground started flailing out of nowhere and his temper tantrum killed you. Great memories
Man Joseph was so tilting in this game. Funniest thing about watching this is how anti-climactic the death animations when you die from a little hit / stray bullet, had me in stitches
I haven’t gotten every achievement in this one, but i have in evil within 2. The “you asked for it again” is the most rage inducing, brutal achievement i have ever attempted and completed while also getting all weapons and collectables throughout. It took me 2 and a half months to do it.
I found evil within 2 more Achievable, evil within has some really hard achievements like beating the game at a certain time, or killing enemies with different bows which for some reason doesn’t register with me
If you thought it was the most difficult thing you've ever done in a video game, you can't even imagine with the first title, the difficulty, unlike 2, is too noticeable
This brings back memories, but the extra challenge on top of Akumu for me was that there was something about the combination of frame-rate, motion and lighting that would bring on a nauseous headache more often than not. Still never figured out exactly what thing caused it, I tried changing graphics settings, TV settings, everything, but it was a constant thing. I've never had it with any other game before or since.
The Evil Within is infamous for its poorly optimized console ports. There's really no excuse for such poor performance either, the game shouldn't be more demanding than Arkham Knight which runs great on console.
Dmitry is right. It's not the consoles that, it's the absolutely mediocre optimization of the evil within. The company never bothered fixing it which makes playing through the first game an absolute chore.
@@unknownguy8687 Id love to replay this game, Id even try platinuming it. But I dread the framerate and load-times, its ridiculous. I fear the PS3/360 ports.
Its so nice to see your channel grow more and more with each video, my first video of yours was the Dead Space video. Hit me in the feels, the first game i beat on the hardest difficulty was Dead Space 2 Hardcore, and it was nice to see someone else do it and experience it for the first time! Can't wait to see your future content!
Did this achievement a couple of years back. It was a pain in the ass at a couple of points, but man oh man.. when that achievement popped, nothing can compare to that feeling. Well, except perhaps the Hard To The Core achievement in Dead Space 2...
@@HenryMyth Well hello Mr. Fancy Pants. I never said that the Hard To The Core achievement is hard, but it is a pain in the ass since you only got 3 saves and Dead Space 2 is a pretty long game.. and since there are tons of instant death bullshit sequenses in it it makes it nerve-racking. At least if you haven't played the game for a couple of years and you try to do the achievement - which I did.
I love that this channel focuses on the 5-ish % of completion trophies rather than those 0.5-ish %. I feel like a lot of games reach low % by asking players for weird grind rather than a fun challenge like this.
Pro Tip for The Masochists out there who are actually tempted to try this themselves : The Freeze Bolts on The Warden Crossbow can also freeze the tripwire bombs if I remember correctly. It's basically a trade off, one freeze bolt for some parts. But if you're in a pinch and cannot afford anymore mistakes, there's always a costly get out of trap free card at your disposal. Just remember to conserve your ammo though...
The first portion of chapter 6 took me 2 days to complete I would literally sit in class and just think of different ways to beat the level. One of the few games I'm truly proud of platinuming.
This was one of the games I platinum this year. Akumu mode is no joke. Had 89 deaths after I was done. Another tip to make chapter 6 a little bit easier is definitely try to upgrade your flash bolts to at least level 5. Gives you some breathing room without wasting up too much ammo
This achievement was roughh. I helped a friend do this one and he had trouble for a few days with the burning building with Joseoh and the locks. I completed it while he was in the shower and when he came out he freaked! Finishing it was very rewarding though. It was always funny how even the littlest tap kills you at full health. The crossbow flash bolts were our saving grace.
If you can get past Chapter 6 you can beat Akumu Mode, chapter 6 on Akumu mode was the most difficult challenge In a game I've ever experienced and Beating The Evil Within on Akumu was the most satisfying and rewarding feeling ever.
Love this guy. He got so crazy for doing all these ultra hard achievements that he is just laughing through it the whole game. I would probably end up with PTSD.
Seeing this channel has inspired me to go for platinums again. So now I'm currently in a long grind for the Yakuza 5 plat and it's almost perfect that this video came along to lift my spirits. Appreciate you and anyone else reading this.
Thank you for existing !!! Best video. And thanks you for having leave the video of the classic run at the end, it was helpful for the directions and all, without this I was so lost. THANK AGAIN
This horror game in particular is somehow most fun out of all. The story, fighting mechanics, and the feeling to freely move around. Makes this series the most enjoyable horror game to experience.
I beat this a couple years back and oh man… such a difficult but fun challenge. Some parts were brutal. A platinum trophy that I will never forget. The second games “classic” difficulty is pretty tough too. Only 7 saves for entire game.
I think that this mode is what promotes people to stream. If the average person were to try akumu mode they'd lose patience and quit probably never to return to the game, assuming theyve beat already. But when you stream, you have people with you experiencing it with you and motivating you along with making jokes. Sure theres going to be haters but some troll comments could also push you to further persevere through the hardest difficulty to one up them. Ive always wanted to start streaming but i dont feel like i have the personality qualities it takes to be one. Good on you mate, not only for beating akumu mode but for being a wholesome guy to watch beat some hard games.
Two things about the hardest chapter: the bridge trick works because on nightmare and Akumu enemies have a modified AI and all the melee weapon haunted target Jojo instantly after they spawn while the dynamite dudes target Seb. The other is that Electric bolts aren't the best for locking enemies down as enemies take HALF damage during their stun. Freeze has a shorter duration but afaik it lets you deal full damage. Electric bolts are there for setting up match combos.
Congrats man, Akumu mode can be a real pain and an awesome experience to put your skills to the test. Getting the platinum trophy as I beat Akumu mode felt so satisfying
This is one of my favourite platinum trophies along with dead space 1,2,3. I feel your pain and really enjoyed watching your pain. The 2 Safe heads always done me over and over.
The Evil Within is effin' awesome. So glad the game's getting some much deserved love. I never played this mode (did play nightmare)--much, haha. It was a nightmare for me. The video was hilarious. Thank you for the laughs!
@@nonixus661 It's a flawed masterpiece. The story might not be perfect but the artwork, atmosphere, ambiance and other elements are so artistic and gothic and one of a kind which defines a masterpiece.
Also note for anyone doing this mode. The agony crossbow is your friend. The weapon is maybe my favourite weapon and do things creative things with it. For example, you think the flash grenades are useless. They are really useful in a tight spot when a whole crowd is follow you and can do a bunch a stealth kills. Also there is a glitch in a game when Joseph comes into your game (the game thinks he is a walking wall with a gun which they haven’t patched it). Strap at least 1 bomb always on his butt. It gets rid of any pests people and saves on the bullets. At the 17:32 where you have to save Joseph via by sniping the dudes. Don’t just use the crossbow and aim one more his ass before cutscene starts. Save you a lot of bullets and time. So be creative with your agony crossbow please. 😉😉
Same, I can’t wait for an announcement video talking about TH-cam, and going full time content creating. *Note I’m not aware if this is full time, still new to the channel.
After clearing both Akumu in TEW1, and Classic in TEW2, I'd say that Classic is much tougher (and I highly recommend you try it, because it is fun, and extremely rewarding to successfully complete). Sure, you die in 1 hit on Akumu, but you still can upgrade gear and stats to actually handle enemies with relative ease by the end (bosses are a bit more difficult, but those just take more careful playing), especially if you upgrade the best weapons to use (like the shotgun, sniper, and warden crossbow). You can also upgrade your stamina, reloading speeds, etc to make combat a bit more managable if you get into bad situations. In Classic on TEW2, you cannot upgrade anything, and enemies have the stats as they would in Nightmare. While this doesn't sound like much, it means you are still a 2-3 shot kill to any basic enemies, or a near 1 shot kill to bosses, while also not having much stamina to effectively run from enemies. Because of not upgrading, it means that by endgame, it can take 2-3 shotgun blasts to the head to kill a single enemy at times, and ammo and resources are also found in much smaller amounts. Finally, the most difficult thing about Classic, limited saves. You have a total of 7 saves to use in the entire game, and the game will not autosave. The game is also 16 chapters, so you have to learn where the more difficult parts are, and think about when the best times to actually save your progress is.
Bro, the fcking Classic mode broke my mental health totally…I hated the fact with the 7 saves, and that when u fuck up before the warehouse, u can play the WHOLE tutorial again, and my fcking stamina and not the ability to sprint sneak knife kill was so bad…but in the end after 3 tried suicides and 6 controllers I got it and beat the game on platinum 😂
This is one of my all time favorite games. They hit it out of the park with atmosphere and the game play is solid. Never tried Akumu myself and might give it a try myself.
I died 325 times, and I had the most trouble in the exact same areas as you, namely Chapters 6, 11 and 12. It took me 9 years to give Akumu a try and it was worth it.
AKUMU's not as bad as this video would have you believe. Being one-shotted is no fun agreed, but at least you only go back to the most recent save and not bounced all the way to the beginning of the game. Just be grateful BETHESDA didn't slap Permadeath on Akumu Mode while they were at it...😅
Did this many years ago when the game came out.that chapter 6 still gives me anxiety. Top tip Max out flash bolts and freeze bolt as it will help kill the time for joseph to open that 2nd door
I don't think I have the patience (nor the time) anymore to put myself through this. Just finished this on normal back when it came out. Can't wait until my kids are finally old enough so I can make them get the achievements for me. Entertaining video as always ^^
I love this mode. It's so tense. I beat it 3 times over the years just because I liked the challenge (and obviously this amazing game). And this is not meant as "I'm the greatest" or anything, I still died a lot. 😅 I always like upgrading the flash bolt first, especially for the chapter 5 and 6 fights and the shotgun damage for Boss fights. I also like upgrading my harpoon bolts to max by chapter 10, which I think most players don't do, since it's very expensive but they one shot almost all normal enemies, especially useful against the clones and lastly it makes killing Laura in chapter 10 easier (read: possible 😅), which isn't necessary, but.. LOOOOOT!!! 🤤 Love your channel and your positive attitude! ❤️
I got to be frank seeing tons of twitch streamers straight give up on Ghosts N Goblins Resurrection on Legend mode kinda makes this look like a walk in the park.
Snam, this was an amazing experience as a viewer. Every time I was a believer, I won and won big. These videos definitely need more Hayeswall in them. ;) Keep up the great content, dude.
Major props for doing this. I tried it a few years ago and once I saw how hard it was gonna be by only the 2nd chapter I was out. Mostly for my sanity lol.
I remember doing this back in the day.... Ch. 6 caused me to reset to the beginning of the game to get more trap parts and cheese it with flash and electric parts. Had over 600 deaths my first akumu run
Playing games on the hardest difficutly really proves that you know the mechinacs well and take the time to understand and master. Congrats on another banger!
This took me like a week and a half to finish. Chapter 6 and 11 were an absolute nightmare and I was scraping by with barely any ammo the last few chapters. Besides all the bs… totally worth! TEW2’s Akumu mode (which was later added) is nowhere near as bad, but it’s not even an achievement/trophy sadly.
Dude, the whole sky rail part where you can only stand still while enemies are throwing shit at you was SO painful when getting this achievement. I think I was in physical pain by the end.
After 5+ deaths in a game I'm ready to rage... so the fact that you are still smiling after 100+ deaths is so... how do i put it... INSANE?! Patience is a virtue and by god you have embraced it...
I remember spending a whole lot of time on this difficulty, think it took me a few days to beat it and this game I spent more time on certain levels that I’ve never had to do on any other game. If I had to guess my deaths in had to be about 150, my insanity was at max. I still remember me finally getting the achievement and casually sliding down my chair whilst laughing quite Insanely 😂
I have a current Akumu run going but chapter 11 has been my roadblock since it’s taken me literal years (a LONG break) to get past chapter 11, unfortunately that was for the Xbox 360. I started another akumu run on PS5 and stopped shortly after I reached chapter 11…. So, yeah I’m still stuck. The fact you can smile throughout the entire thing just blows my mind since I raged through a lot of it UPDATE: I Finally BEAT this piece of CRAP mode and am DONE with it! GOD! IT took me two years before i came back to bear it and I got about 120-122 deaths and I have a screenshot to prove it as well as a trophy screenshot but goodness. I would not recommend anyone try it unless you care about your sanity because chapter 6 and chapter 11 were pure hell. Congrats to you Snamwiches for beating this god forsaken mode
For this game, I followed a streamer Jigzaw_killer's guide and he made the game much more a breeze than I thought. So much became trivial that I deemed impossible without getting hit. Love this game. Would defiantly recommend it to any survival horror fan. Also, before I forget. My dude try to get an S rank in Resident Evil Code Veronica. I won't stop commenting on every upload till you acknowledge me.
This is one of my favorite games of all time and I agree with what you said about the challenge. A lot of people bashed this difficulty for being unbalanced, but I honestly had a blast with it. Yes it was incredibly frustrating at times, but I enjoyed it so much I did it again with the unlocked weapons. This made it a lot more manageable yet was still challenging and fun.
My dude, you’re going to be BIG content creator on here in no time! I’m glad I stumbled across you a month or so ago :D Also, Clair De Lune at the end was just so nice to hear. That piece of music for me actually has a lot of memories attached to it, so it was quite a FeelsGoodMan way to end.
Ah Akumu mode...that is a really rough difficulty indeed. Although I'd almost argue that the sequel's Classic difficulty was harder thanks to the limited saves and no upgrades. Still, a great series and rough as hell. I only wish we find out what happened to Joseph Oda sooner or later!
The craziest thing about this challenge is that you somehow managed to enjoy this mode. I played Akumu once for the platinum trophy on ps4 and I'm never touching it again xD Kudos to you for managing to enjoy it, you have the patience of a saint... And you are propably a psycho too
i've actually finished both games on this difficulty , it only took me 5 months, brain aneurisme, depression, and the lost of sanity and a few keyboards😭😭😭other than that i loved every minute of the experience, because i've played the first one way back in 2015 and the second game gave me the need to replay the first again, but i love this game and im happy to see that more people are talking about it and taking interest in it🥰
The death animation is hilarious, he completely stop what he was doing, all momentum lost, stares into the distance and then dramatically falls to the floor, work of art
It mimicks how your soul feels trying to complete this achievement
He's making his way toward to the Leon Kennedy animation.
Stefano would've been proud.
lol
It's even better when Joseph dies.
Sebastian completely stops what he's doing, and starts walking forward.
"I must go. My people need me"
The fact that I beat akumu and didn't realise you could go back and save after every kill has brought me so much pain oml, I feel so dumb
LMAO it’s okay, it only really works for a few sections anyway
@@Snamwiches that makes me feel slightly better then thanks! 😅
Eerie 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣you just forgot friend, it happens

It is input lag, intentional input lag. The tutorial even warns you that it takes time for the needle to stop.

The good thing about it is that the game saves constantly so you don't lose a lot of progress when you die.
TRUE
I actually prefer to die with one hit over the second game which only let you save only 7 times
So something really funny about Chapter 6 when I attempted Akumu mode….in your playthrough Joseph gave you literal hell by dying all the time and was probably a real thorn in your side, but my experience was the exact OPPOSITE.

Yup. The fact that enemies can randomly flail around and instantly kill you when they are down is honestly disgusting game design.
My favourite thing is that the death animation is less like he's in pain and more like he's just disappointed
Pointing that out makes it so much fuccin funnier man 😂
Man Joseph was so tilting in this game. Funniest thing about watching this is how anti-climactic the death animations when you die from a little hit / stray bullet, had me in stitches
Same it's always seems like the game pausing to calculate if you got hit or not when the RNG is usually pretty much a invisible variable in most games
Protect the stupid NPC missions have always been the worst thing in videogames.

As a Evil Within speedrunner, I could feel your pain deep inside your eyes while playing lol Great run, well done dude!
I love that this channel focuses on the 5-ish % of completion trophies rather than those 0.5-ish %.
I feel like a lot of games reach low % by asking players for weird grind rather than a fun challenge like this.
Pro Tip for The Masochists out there who are actually tempted to try this themselves : The Freeze Bolts on The Warden Crossbow can also freeze the tripwire bombs if I remember correctly. It's basically a trade off, one freeze bolt for some parts. But if you're in a pinch and cannot afford anymore mistakes, there's always a costly get out of trap free card at your disposal. Just remember to conserve your ammo though...
I love how for every chapter snam is like ‘This was really hard, until it wasn’t. Then it was easy.’
I get SO hyped for your videos man. You do top tier work!
The first portion of chapter 6 took me 2 days to complete I would literally sit in class and just think of different ways to beat the level. One of the few games I'm truly proud of platinuming.
This was one of the games I platinum this year. Akumu mode is no joke. Had 89 deaths after I was done.
Another tip to make chapter 6 a little bit easier is definitely try to upgrade your flash bolts to at least level 5. Gives you some breathing room without wasting up too much ammo
This achievement was roughh. I helped a friend do this one and he had trouble for a few days with the burning building with Joseoh and the locks. I completed it while he was in the shower and when he came out he freaked! Finishing it was very rewarding though. It was always funny how even the littlest tap kills you at full health. The crossbow flash bolts were our saving grace.
If you can get past Chapter 6 you can beat Akumu Mode, chapter 6 on Akumu mode was the most difficult challenge In a game I've ever experienced and Beating The Evil Within on Akumu was the most satisfying and rewarding feeling ever.
More specifically if you get past the burning house
Love this guy. He got so crazy for doing all these ultra hard achievements that he is just laughing through it the whole game. I would probably end up with PTSD.
Seeing this channel has inspired me to go for platinums again. So now I'm currently in a long grind for the Yakuza 5 plat and it's almost perfect that this video came along to lift my spirits. Appreciate you and anyone else reading this.
good luck!
I wish you the best of luck 👍
Good luck on Y5! Hear it’s a crazy grind, but you got this!
The real victory is that you finish one of the game with the worst combat and hit registration that ive ever played. You sir, are a legend
Love your videos, man. I have no doubt that if you continue to upload more people will take a shine to your warm personality and you'll blow up.
Thank you for existing !!! Best video. And thanks you for having leave the video of the classic run at the end, it was helpful for the directions and all, without this I was so lost. THANK AGAIN
This horror game in particular is somehow most fun out of all. The story, fighting mechanics, and the feeling to freely move around. Makes this series the most enjoyable horror game to experience.
I beat this a couple years back and oh man… such a difficult but fun challenge. Some parts were brutal.
A platinum trophy that I will never forget. The second games “classic” difficulty is pretty tough too. Only 7 saves for entire game.
I just love so much your content.
Your narrative, the humour, the content, i love it, thank you!
The best part of Snam’s runs is how he’s always surprised when he gets killed. You’d think he’d be used to it by now
I think that this mode is what promotes people to stream. If the average person were to try akumu mode they'd lose patience and quit probably never to return to the game, assuming theyve beat already. But when you stream, you have people with you experiencing it with you and motivating you along with making jokes. Sure theres going to be haters but some troll comments could also push you to further persevere through the hardest difficulty to one up them. Ive always wanted to start streaming but i dont feel like i have the personality qualities it takes to be one. Good on you mate, not only for beating akumu mode but for being a wholesome guy to watch beat some hard games.
Two things about the hardest chapter: the bridge trick works because on nightmare and Akumu enemies have a modified AI and all the melee weapon haunted target Jojo instantly after they spawn while the dynamite dudes target Seb.
The other is that Electric bolts aren't the best for locking enemies down as enemies take HALF damage during their stun. Freeze has a shorter duration but afaik it lets you deal full damage. Electric bolts are there for setting up match combos.
Congrats man, Akumu mode can be a real pain and an awesome experience to put your skills to the test. Getting the platinum trophy as I beat Akumu mode felt so satisfying
This is one of my favourite platinum trophies along with dead space 1,2,3. I feel your pain and really enjoyed watching your pain. The 2 Safe heads always done me over and over.
I died over 120 times in Akumu,but man,those knuckle dusters were totally worth it.
The algorithm has blessed you - fun video dude!
The Evil Within is effin' awesome. So glad the game's getting some much deserved love. I never played this mode (did play nightmare)--much, haha. It was a nightmare for me.
The video was hilarious. Thank you for the laughs!
I have a tradition where every year in October I have to beat Akumu Mode and it never gets any easier lol.
This game is a masterpiece, people should talk about it way more
no its not i like the game but it is not a masterpiece
It is kinda a masterpiece.
@@theonewhoknows2I literally love the game but I acknowledge that this game isn't a masterpiece
@@nonixus661 It's a flawed masterpiece. The story might not be perfect but the artwork, atmosphere, ambiance and other elements are so artistic and gothic and one of a kind which defines a masterpiece.
I agree with you
Also note for anyone doing this mode. The agony crossbow is your friend. The weapon is maybe my favourite weapon and do things creative things with it.
For example, you think the flash grenades are useless. They are really useful in a tight spot when a whole crowd is follow you and can do a bunch a stealth kills. Also there is a glitch in a game when Joseph comes into your game (the game thinks he is a walking wall with a gun which they haven’t patched it). Strap at least 1 bomb always on his butt. It gets rid of any pests people and saves on the bullets. At the 17:32 where you have to save Joseph via by sniping the dudes. Don’t just use the crossbow and aim one more his ass before cutscene starts. Save you a lot of bullets and time.
So be creative with your agony crossbow please. 😉😉
Snamwich is quickly becoming one of my favorite TH-camrs
Indeed
Been a great find due to the algorithm
Same, I can’t wait for an announcement video talking about TH-cam, and going full time content creating. *Note I’m not aware if this is full time, still new to the channel.
I finally beat this today! Died 629 times. Watching you play this mode made me wanna go back and give it a try.
Watching this almost makes me want to replay akumu, then I remember how bad chapter 6 was and change my mind.
Fair point LOL
I was stuck on the chapter for a long time. Almost made me want to rip my xbox one and throw it out the window.
Me too 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Channel is hitting recommended like no tomorrow, absolute class content man :D
After clearing both Akumu in TEW1, and Classic in TEW2, I'd say that Classic is much tougher (and I highly recommend you try it, because it is fun, and extremely rewarding to successfully complete).
Sure, you die in 1 hit on Akumu, but you still can upgrade gear and stats to actually handle enemies with relative ease by the end (bosses are a bit more difficult, but those just take more careful playing), especially if you upgrade the best weapons to use (like the shotgun, sniper, and warden crossbow). You can also upgrade your stamina, reloading speeds, etc to make combat a bit more managable if you get into bad situations.
In Classic on TEW2, you cannot upgrade anything, and enemies have the stats as they would in Nightmare. While this doesn't sound like much, it means you are still a 2-3 shot kill to any basic enemies, or a near 1 shot kill to bosses, while also not having much stamina to effectively run from enemies. Because of not upgrading, it means that by endgame, it can take 2-3 shotgun blasts to the head to kill a single enemy at times, and ammo and resources are also found in much smaller amounts. Finally, the most difficult thing about Classic, limited saves. You have a total of 7 saves to use in the entire game, and the game will not autosave. The game is also 16 chapters, so you have to learn where the more difficult parts are, and think about when the best times to actually save your progress is.
Bro, the fcking Classic mode broke my mental health totally…I hated the fact with the 7 saves, and that when u fuck up before the warehouse, u can play the WHOLE tutorial again, and my fcking stamina and not the ability to sprint sneak knife kill was so bad…but in the end after 3 tried suicides and 6 controllers I got it and beat the game on platinum 😂
Enemies on Classic mode have less health than in a Normal playthrough. (By normal, i mean a Not classic playthrough)
This is one of my all time favorite games. They hit it out of the park with atmosphere and the game play is solid. Never tried Akumu myself and might give it a try myself.
18:51 Chat:"Pitbull vs 9 year old boss fight" is one of the funniest shit I've seen tbh 💀
Dude I had so much fun getting this trophy and I’m so happy to see this pop up and you enjoying it!
Love this duology. Hoping there's a 3rd game someday (even if there never is, these two games are still gems).
I died 325 times, and I had the most trouble in the exact same areas as you, namely Chapters 6, 11 and 12.
It took me 9 years to give Akumu a try and it was worth it.
AKUMU's not as bad as this video would have you believe. Being one-shotted is no fun agreed, but at least you only go back to the most recent save and not bounced all the way to the beginning of the game. Just be grateful BETHESDA didn't slap Permadeath on Akumu Mode while they were at it...😅
Did this many years ago when the game came out.that chapter 6 still gives me anxiety.
Top tip
Max out flash bolts and freeze bolt as it will help kill the time for joseph to open that 2nd door
This game scared me more than any other game I ever played. That’s the only reason I played it on this difficulty so I could feel that fear again.
Yeah Spider Woman😨and Ruvik's Jumpscares in the mansion Terrifying Game 🤗
this difficulty setting just makes the troll you endlessly there were so many deaths that were to ridiculous I couldn't stop laughing
I don't think I have the patience (nor the time) anymore to put myself through this. Just finished this on normal back when it came out. Can't wait until my kids are finally old enough so I can make them get the achievements for me. Entertaining video as always ^^
I love this mode. It's so tense. I beat it 3 times over the years just because I liked the challenge (and obviously this amazing game). And this is not meant as "I'm the greatest" or anything, I still died a lot. 😅 I always like upgrading the flash bolt first, especially for the chapter 5 and 6 fights and the shotgun damage for Boss fights. I also like upgrading my harpoon bolts to max by chapter 10, which I think most players don't do, since it's very expensive but they one shot almost all normal enemies, especially useful against the clones and lastly it makes killing Laura in chapter 10 easier (read: possible 😅), which isn't necessary, but.. LOOOOOT!!! 🤤
Love your channel and your positive attitude! ❤️
Understatement of the century. Can't name a single thing harder than this.
Uncharted Brutal mode and I have a feeling Give me no mercy in God of War Ragnarok.
Yeah that's it.
@@Cerise__ I remember uncharted. That was not fun. That was painful.
@@GunmetalEar remember the train from 2? I literally had to use a glitch at the beginning to fall of the train and get back on the other side.
Ninja Gaiden.
I got to be frank seeing tons of twitch streamers straight give up on Ghosts N Goblins Resurrection on Legend mode kinda makes this look like a walk in the park.
Snam, this was an amazing experience as a viewer. Every time I was a believer, I won and won big. These videos definitely need more Hayeswall in them. ;)
Keep up the great content, dude.
These streams were such a joy to watch.
Alright. I've binged enough of your channel to subscribe. Love the content.
Thank you man!
Major props for doing this. I tried it a few years ago and once I saw how hard it was gonna be by only the 2nd chapter I was out. Mostly for my sanity lol.
I've watched all your videos.. Like wow... the time and commitment you put into them is seriously impressive.. achievement GOD
Even if i won't do this challenge because Nightmare difficulty was just enough for me, this game is definitely very very underrated.
as the 374th best evil within speedrunner, i tip my hat to you for your patience and skill, m'lady
I remember doing this back in the day.... Ch. 6 caused me to reset to the beginning of the game to get more trap parts and cheese it with flash and electric parts. Had over 600 deaths my first akumu run
Playing games on the hardest difficutly really proves that you know the mechinacs well and take the time to understand and master. Congrats on another banger!
Snamwiches has literally the most chill face playing this mode. I swear no one would be able to draw a sketch of my face when I was playing this.
I loved this game. Akumu was such a challenge and I got locked into chapter 9 for the LONGEST time. So proud of my platinum trophy.
Im amazed you can be so calm during this, i played on normal and was raging so much at the keeper haha
My secret is that I convince myself I'll get it eventually anyway, so I might as well have fun on the way there
i would never play this on the hardest dificulty u are a chad my man! congrats
This took me like a week and a half to finish. Chapter 6 and 11 were an absolute nightmare and I was scraping by with barely any ammo the last few chapters. Besides all the bs… totally worth!
TEW2’s Akumu mode (which was later added) is nowhere near as bad, but it’s not even an achievement/trophy sadly.
Dude, the whole sky rail part where you can only stand still while enemies are throwing shit at you was SO painful when getting this achievement. I think I was in physical pain by the end.
Wow, legendary! Still need Evil Within 3 to come!
After 5+ deaths in a game I'm ready to rage... so the fact that you are still smiling after 100+ deaths is so... how do i put it... INSANE?!
Patience is a virtue and by god you have embraced it...
I remember spending a whole lot of time on this difficulty, think it took me a few days to beat it and this game I spent more time on certain levels that I’ve never had to do on any other game. If I had to guess my deaths in had to be about 150, my insanity was at max. I still remember me finally getting the achievement and casually sliding down my chair whilst laughing quite Insanely 😂
I have a current Akumu run going but chapter 11 has been my roadblock since it’s taken me literal years (a LONG break) to get past chapter 11, unfortunately that was for the Xbox 360. I started another akumu run on PS5 and stopped shortly after I reached chapter 11…. So, yeah I’m still stuck.
The fact you can smile throughout the entire thing just blows my mind since I raged through a lot of it
UPDATE: I Finally BEAT this piece of CRAP mode and am DONE with it! GOD! IT took me two years before i came back to bear it and I got about 120-122 deaths and I have a screenshot to prove it as well as a trophy screenshot but goodness. I would not recommend anyone try it unless you care about your sanity because chapter 6 and chapter 11 were pure hell. Congrats to you Snamwiches for beating this god forsaken mode
For this game, I followed a streamer Jigzaw_killer's guide and he made the game much more a breeze than I thought. So much became trivial that I deemed impossible without getting hit. Love this game. Would defiantly recommend it to any survival horror fan.
Also, before I forget. My dude try to get an S rank in Resident Evil Code Veronica. I won't stop commenting on every upload till you acknowledge me.
This is one of my favorite games of all time and I agree with what you said about the challenge. A lot of people bashed this difficulty for being unbalanced, but I honestly had a blast with it. Yes it was incredibly frustrating at times, but I enjoyed it so much I did it again with the unlocked weapons. This made it a lot more manageable yet was still challenging and fun.
My dude, you’re going to be BIG content creator on here in no time! I’m glad I stumbled across you a month or so ago :D
Also, Clair De Lune at the end was just so nice to hear. That piece of music for me actually has a lot of memories attached to it, so it was quite a FeelsGoodMan way to end.
I got this trophy a few years ago, flash bolts maxed out are your best friend
I think this was the last game I ever attempted an impossible difficulty challenge, it didn’t even fell like it was worth it for the knuckle dusters.
"OOOH! THERE'S SO MUCH MEAT IN HERE! I feel like Piper Perri."
Fucking gold
So what IS your favourite movie of all time? I can't be left on a cliffhanger like this
LORD OF THE RINGS BABY
Insane to see how much your channel has grown since the Dead Space and Dead Rising vids. Keep on keeping on Snam!
Ah Akumu mode...that is a really rough difficulty indeed. Although I'd almost argue that the sequel's Classic difficulty was harder thanks to the limited saves and no upgrades. Still, a great series and rough as hell. I only wish we find out what happened to Joseph Oda sooner or later!
Yea same
The craziest thing about this challenge is that you somehow managed to enjoy this mode. I played Akumu once for the platinum trophy on ps4 and I'm never touching it again xD Kudos to you for managing to enjoy it, you have the patience of a saint... And you are propably a psycho too
I haven’t started watching yet but I’m gonna guess the death count is pretty high! This mode is hard AF.
i've actually finished both games on this difficulty , it only took me 5 months, brain aneurisme, depression, and the lost of sanity and a few keyboards😭😭😭other than that i loved every minute of the experience, because i've played the first one way back in 2015 and the second game gave me the need to replay the first again, but i love this game and im happy to see that more people are talking about it and taking interest in it🥰
