Can You Beat GRIME With A Broken Sword and No Armor?

- Honestly, I think you'd be better off using your fists.
Grime's developers, Cloverbite, reached out to me for one last hurrah, giving me a save file that started with the worst weapon in the game. They also gave me the worst armor in the game (or is it the best?), and then dared me to beat the final DLC boss in NG+.
Can you beat Grime with a broken sword and no armor?
I guess only time will tell.

They gave you your own personal purgatory in the hopes of trapping you for eternity and you walked out with a slice of cheesecake.
This is Lord lemon we are talking about if he can kill gods by setting himself on fire this is just a piece of cake for him (cheese cake to be exact)
Damn, that goes hard as hell my guy well put!
😂😂😂
"... Ok, I'll play." That is every souls player ever right there
Nooo... >_>
Time to play the game again.
Is there anything gone more hollow than a black hole though?
Very, very few bosses give me that. But dreamborn terror, is one of those few. The demand for absolute mastery of the games base mechanics just oooohohohoh! The fun it was to finally defeat it.
And the most sinister fucking thing out of Lemon's mouth in all of his videos.
"...okay. I'll play." CHILLS, LEMON, GOD
The three parts of a Backlogs video
I can't wait for Grime 2 to have a secret hardest difficulty option called something like "Allow Me To Thank You Properly" or "Okay. I'll Play", or even just "The Backlogs"
"Okay, I'll Play" sounds exactly like something Doom or Duke Nukem would have for a highest difficulty setting.
"No time for sippy breaks"
"The Backlogs" are actually going to be a whole new batch of areas, bosses, items and spells that you can only get to after beating the game on "ok, I'll play." Mode once then doing something specific in a portion of the game that forces you into the new areas. BUT the only way completing the new areas will count is if afterwards you finish the main game again and get the "Backlogs" ending.
I both put too much and not enough thought into this lol.
@@BubbattMax The specific thing is using only firebombs, and completing it gives you the achievement "Chosen of the Firebomb Goddess"
that finale! The amount of "Is that really all you have to offer?" Only to see that new boss and give the ultimate form of, "Well then. Impress me." Loved seeing it!
Lemon: armor does nothing! Challenge!
Me, who played back on release when armor was cosmetic: isn’t that just game thou?
I couldn't stop laughing at Lemon's head being grafted on, lmao. Great video.
Thee companies SHOULD be doing stuff for you. I’ve bought several games that I may have otherwise skipped, just because I saw you run it. You’re sort of their best advertisement
Honestly you are right after watching this video I want to play the game
@@thegamingofcoco8468 there have been some games, this one in particular, where I had to go back to his videos just for some tips because I would get stuck. This game specifically is way tougher than he makes it look
@@theAshesofDecember1It's easy to forget that because he struggles while taking the hardest roads, god damn is lemon actually a god lol
I bought Salt and Sanctuary after watching his videos. It's definitely a good advertising strategy!
@@HummingLantern27 I bought both salt games (though sacrifice was maybe not what I had hoped it would be), grime, and a few others including keeping my eye on ZZZ. He’s even inspired me to revisit the souls games yearly
The editing for the final fight is immaculate as always, music is on point with the narrative monologue is outstanding. Another classic.
Grime has a ridiciulously good soundtrack.
The song from the monolog from the end is the soundtrack of dritmounth from hollow knight :)
its interesting how changing he boss movesets and having all your abilities changes their difficulty. bosses that took me several times to kill went down in one, whereas some of the ones i thought were easier really hammered me. the whispering mothers change makes it so much tougher cause its pure area denial and you HAVE to use absorb in the second phase. jumping is pretty much totally out cause of the rocks filling the air and fidus breaks apart even more...the dreamborn terror is a monster, and fun fact, each cycle you fight him he drops a new armour set, i think he has 7 colours, the red is my fave
Eleven. Eleven colors.
"some of the ones I thought were easier really hammered me"
I don't think this is that much of a surprise, if a boss is easy in the base game that means that there is a lot of room to up the difficulty, and they don't have to hold back because only people who've beaten the base game will ever encounter the upgraded version.
The Inner bosses in Sekiro are similar (instead of NG+ they're only accessible via the boss gauntlets that are unlocked by finishing the game and beating all required bosses, so at least NG and NG+ required to unlock all 3 of them), the Inner version of the early game boss has a lot of changes that stop you from being able to bully him throughout the entire fight, while the Inner version of the final boss has barely any changes to his moveset (3 new moves IIRC).
Ever rotting, this dream. Decaying, until it is done.
Damn... That finale was something. Pure chills down my spine.
I love how the devs really thought: "How can we make a challenge for this one guy in particular."
Lemon you are a literal god tier patience elemental. You are patience itself i might say. Your skill has been honed over the years and it really shows.
This whole challenge looked like a cake walk , due to your skills.
Thanks for once again a great video.
And for all you guys reading this comment:
Be good to one another!
Your sponsors definitely get their money's worth. I'm not usually into this type of game, but you make this look like a good time.
This was not sposored, the only thing they paid him is respect for covering the game before unless i am missing something
this is not sponsored man the game is genuinely that good with a great dev team. Another example is the ability flower heart gives you was added because the dev's listened to the community and added running.
That's awesome of them to make you for your final playthrough
Absolutely magnificent. Loved every second of it and the final fight. Just mwah. No words needed, just the glorious finally of the beautiful game.
This is it, Lemon. This is the sign that you've officially made it. Your metal mug is in a game, disjointedly stuck to a mudman's noggin.
Proud a' you, man.👍👍😃
“This, too, shall end.”
One of my favorite lines of all time.
Love this side of you, keep it up Lemon.
love it when devs actually pay attention to their community and even reach out to people just to be like ''oh you like our game? well then try this hand crafted hell me made for you'' just earns so much respect for those devs
Using Surrogate Vulture's score for the final montage brought tear to my eye. Really one of the best osts there.
Such small and clever things that really show just how well crafted this game truly is. Without you lemon I would never have found grime or salt and sanctuary so thank you for sharing these amazing games
I loved doing this game's NG, one of the best there is honestly. The sheer amount of changes it adds to make nearly every enemy harder is so fun
Glad to see devs honoring the content creators who showcase their games. If it wasn't for your challenge runs, or those of other challenge runners, there's a fair few games I might never have even heard of, much less given a chance.
Honestly while I know the game probably wasn't quite your cup of tea, your video on Remnant 2 is what ultimately gave me the final push to get it, and in a year packed with great games, it was probably my favorite one I played last year and I put more hours into it than I have probably any game in recent memory. I'd love to see you consider giving it a second chance at some point and doing a challenge run in it. I do know there's grenades in the game that you can buy from one of the vendors, though I've never tried to use them myself so no idea if a "Firebombs only" run would be doable.
That final boss sequence is so beautiful
Wonderfully done. Always love the way you end these videos.
This was a nice gesture from the developers, but also a smart marketing idea. Well played.
Gigantic props to the devs for not just being great sports about your videos, but actively watching and engaging and doing stuff like this. Always awesome to see!
God Lemon, your editing, storytelling and general presentation during that entire last fight and the outro is simply superb. You keep outdoing yourself and growing as a content creator with every video, honestly, bravo.
Ahh yes the beautiful music from Hollow Knight. The memories of playing that game flooding back just from hearing the outro. I want Silksong so badly
i liked the editing on that last fight. well done i enjoyed the entire video :)
Very, very few people can pull off the "OK. I'll Play." like that. Lemon really is built different.
Brilliant job Lemon! You really are the best advertisement for any company who cares to pay attention. That finale gave me chills
I absolutely love how you have the dialog at the end of each episode. It gives me chills
Now that we've seen parry-only tested to it's limits, how about a weapon only run?
I don't think I've ever even seen GRIME before, but it was a treat. The art direction and the world felt captivating with its grotesque claymation quality, and the final fight was nothing short of absolutely beautiful. All that only elevated by the sheer skill it took to beat with the most basic gear possible.
Kudos both to you and the developers.
That "Ok, I'll play..." MIGHT be the coldest thing I've EVER Heard Backlogs say
I love that the final boss is essentially the player and the player characters mirror a large entity far from the small entity like two eldritch beings fighting with puppets cause their presence would tear the world asunder.
you gotta love Lemon's RP skills and the end of these videos. always so cool.
you actually got me to buy this game and man, its been a ride but its been worth it
Been loving these more story driven runs, the writting is great!
This is a pleasant surprise as I recently started playing this again
Bruh i wanna torture myself on this save soo much! Great video and awesome idea from the devs, They for sure know how torture a lemon!
God I love your videos so goddam much Lemon! Those moments towards the end where you snap give me chills every time, and I love it!
15:45 *Indeed!* Very cool NG+ design! Really cool.
Ooh. Always happy to see you running Grime. Another great video, Lemon. Thanks!
Love the final fight. Such entertaining content as always
Yoooo, we're back with more Grime! Found this game because of you and fell in love. Hope to see even more in the future once we get to grime 2
Great video Lemon! Can't wait to see you play Grime 2.
I absolutely LOVE how, especially near the end of the run, Lemon will meld into the character and lie he has built in the setting, the little monolouge at tge end of the video
Another spectacular run Lemon. Always pushing my belief of what can be done
Lemon, you've persuaded me to go back and play/platinum Salt and Sacrifice. Now, I must play Grime. Thanks for the videos! Love the challenge runs ❤
Recently platinum’d both the PS4 and PS5 of Grime, and I really only played it due to your video on it. Please keep making more video, Lemon!
god, games like these presented so beautifully give me chills, great job lemon! :D
Ooh this game is fun to watch you run. Good too the devs looking out for ya Lemon
One final hurrah with Grime- hell yeah. Bought it after seeing your last grime video and finished it before going back to finish that video. Amazing game, very well worth they money. Good stuff all around.
God DAMN i love how you edited the end of this, fucking SPECTACULAR
Man, that was a great new game + design.
My brain has been rotted by Terraria. I misheard "broken yr sword" as "broken hero sword".
He never said broken yr sword though, just broken sword?
@@user-tf8xr8wc9u He did.
@@user-tf8xr8wc9u 1:20 Check again.
@@user-tf8xr8wc9u He definitely did.
I love Grime and nothing makes me feel better than seeing you do another challenge run on it :)
You've been killing it lately with these uploads
One of my favorite games on your channel!
Man, is that cool! Respect to the devs for putting in the effort, and interacting with their community. I like it!
i love watching every backlogs video. its not only the charecter we see go threw the strugles that gets stronger... its lemon for his power out matches all
Love it to much, i could watch your stuff all day long, much love from germany ❤
I liked the musk you played for the final boss lemon and the hallowknight musick too just perfect.
Lemon, you truly are the best! I think my life would be objectively worse without your videos in it. Cheers for another amazing challenge done!
Even though we only really saw glimpses of that final boss, that looked beautiful!
...you know, sometimes i think the same thing. I know fighting. Fighting and struggling makes sense. You really put the words beautifully. You reach the top, and realise that your single minded pursuit of strength has left you beyond challengers. So what then? Leave the mountain, and climb a new one. Taking with you the joy and sparks of inspiration from the one you climbed before.
i want to say more out loud then just (damn) to the amazing vid but its all i can think after watching. thank you for posting and making videos
brother just cant miss bangers every time
Great game, great video. Can’t wait for your next one.
Live laugh and love lemon you vids never disappoint 💪🏽
Nice music choices!! 😉
That "Ok. I'll play" send shivers down my Spine. I love how you edit and narrate everything! Leaves me behind with a smile everytime
Love the use of the bugdom level 10 music at the beginning nostalgia deluge was real
I love that this game is getting more videos about
Shame lemon didn’t use the dream born terror’s soundtrack, that ost was a absolute banger and so beautifully brutal
the hollow knight music in the outro is making me want to see a hollow knight challenge run. That game was amazing.
this reminds me of something i heard about a different game...
i forget the name, Ninja-something...
anyway, in THAT game, if you upgrade the apparently useless "wooden sword" to +10, it transforms into the BEST weapon in that game!
I need lemon to write a book or an audio book because that closing sentence was s tier writing.
I know this video is two months old but i was absolutely enthralled by every single second
Masterful writing as always 💜
This channel deserves so much more
The true embodiment of the community. This man gives meaning to why we do what we do. The struggle of any soulslike is for those whose persistence is not an option but the only way. Appreciate what you do with the utmost respect for how you game.
Man. This was the single best advertisement this game could have received. Excellent video, Lemon.
That final boss fight was absolutely beautiful!! I dont really like side scroll games, but this makes me want to play grime!!
A last Grime video by Lemon, happy times!
Bittersweet, but happy.
Looking forward to Grime 2!
thats awesome the devs went so far to not only make a special save for you but even....blessed the game with your visage? yeah blessed.
Cool. I might have to check Grime out.
This is your 92nd challenge run. I wonder what your 100th will be. Something special, I'll bet.
The Backlogs: Come for the challenge runs, stay for the fire monologue at the end.
Grime 2 looks awesome!!!! Cant wait for it NGL! And ur last challenge run fpr grime? :( oh no
Absolutely divine stuff, Lemon.
The last fight was so 100/100 holy moly it was beautifull. Also ur face in game should be a curse skill 😂😂
i LOVE this game.... im glad to see this game get more quality content
Very good take on NG+. Actually worth playing beyond just bragging rights.
This game took me by surprise and it was an awesome experience.
> Package says "Broken Sword"
> Opens it up
> Paddle inside
holy shit that last boss looks incredible, need to replay this game sometime
HECK YEAH, More GRIME love to see it.
Heeeyyyyy i wss just watching your Salt and Santuary runs. I must say, at 50 subs you were making insanely high quality videos
And please, when you see an orange ring around an enemy during an attack it means you can pull them. I've seen you miss this too much
Ooooooo another lovely video from lemon! YIPPEE!
