Did you know that G 1 actually drops the knife after he is done or when in middle of battle when he is roaring with pain. In the middle of the room near the ladder.
I like how unbothered speeders are around mr x. "Mr x is no problem, he's a goofball, so we'll slip past and let him do his thing". Meanwhile, my scary ass'll stand in the safe room 10-15 minuets at a time, listening to his footsteps 😂😂
You know what dude you got it better. I speed run resident evil a lot and honestly being scared of mr x is more fun. Don’t lose that fun. Mr x is just nothing for when I play. I barely see him beating the game in hour forty minutes. Kills his impact.
@@karlsavage7495 haha, my 1st play through was just as long. But yeah, I love to take my time and search every corner for every item before I move on. Can't hide from him when attempting speedrun though. Gotta keep moving!
Just got this game a year too late and i'm loving it. Been watching all your runs after i beat a play-through to see what i could do better. Commentary is some of the best I've heard. stoked for RE3 remake! can't wait to see your runs.
Re3 remake personally I had fun I got everything in that one even did it a few extra times for fun with 3 there’s like 2 puzzles and fAr less to do which makes it so easy there’s 2 areas not 400 doors like re2 to remember lol
Thanks Carci I used this to get my first S rank today! Thanks man! (it worked for me in standard too) - I know there are a ton of walkthroughs for standard I could watch but watching you makes me play as I am playing Hardcore, so when I do play it, I know what to expect! Thanks dude1
4 years later I’m playing through re2 and only need the hardcore achievements and the extra gamemode ones, thanks to you I got the hardcore ones so thank you!
I DID IT I FINALLY GOT AN S+ ON HARDCORE IN 2:30 HOURS this man has the best strats and knowledge ever! P.s dont worry about getting hit i got hit alot and was still able to heal just follow this as close as you can on the parts where he has a free space and your hurt use a heal right then and dont panic in a tight spot im a first time s+er and im so happy!
@@nuggetlovesall222 I needed to heal twice, it only wasted me like 10 minutes. I suggest just pausing and looking through maps to see, where are the plants/meds.
Made it to the first save yesterday. Can't believe I'm going from having a 5 hour time with 25 saves on standard to a S+ Rank. Edit: got Claire's s+ rank now it's time for Leon
Normally I'm not big on commentary especially for horror based games but you're the only one I can sit through and enjoy listening to lol. Probably cause you don't have over the top reactions + your humor is on point my dude. I had to watch a few videos of yours before deciding if I wanted to subscribe to you or not but after making me laugh from other videos I've watched from you on the past 2-3 days I had to subscribe. Keep it up man
4 years later and im STILL playing this game lol went back to it after Resi 4 remake and i just find 2 to be my comfort game lol there’s something so relaxing about roaming the rpd after so long
Carci, I am playing this right now. Playing hardcore for the first time. I just got to the first save point pfew. My hands are still shaking haha because I have to against my hording habit, my "kill all zambies so I don't need to juke em" habit, and most importantly, my save addiction. I did 100+ saves on my first time playing (Leon A)! But this guide helps me a lot. So, thanks a bunch my dude, I appreciate it. :) AND YOUR VOICE IS SO SOOTHING wtf.
Thanks to u i got s+ on bouth Leon and claire. U are only TH-camr who gameplay is for real usefull for everyone. I search a lot of re 2 s + gameplays and your are the best. Your videos and game explain is on another level. Sorry for mistakes this is my second language. ;)
This took me a few tries to complete and after I beat G2, I don’t know what happened to my game but my magnum reverted to an SLS60 9mm. So I had to make do with what I have but I owe it to you and this guide, man! Keep up the good work!
It’s 2023 and I’m so obsessed with getting S+ in all scenarios and both characters. I’m still working on Leon and it’s taking me hours but this game is so fun I don’t mind 😂
You’re the best man and you’re an absolute beast at Resident Evil speedrun this isn’t even a speedrun I can’t imagine if you’re legitimately trying to speedrun
This guide was excellent, I didn't in a million years I'd be able to do this, but I followed your guide through to the end and it made it so much easier. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for this guide. I was stuck on G stage 3 for a couple days because I used all my acid rounds and would only have like 3 or 4 left for him. After watching your video I realized I was using the wrong weapons at the wrong times. It’s all about carefully managing your inventory and ammo and what to use where. You da man!!
I jut got my first S rank on Leon 1st. standard mode. I've not been playing long and I'm still quite a way from S+ on hardcore, but your videos are the best. There is a lot of stuff you said in your commentary that I still say in certain parts of the game. You're awesome!
Thank you Carcinogen , i ended the game as you told us in the video unlocked both the minigun and submachine gun by being in S+... made 3 saves in all , first before the encounter of G3 in sewers and next 2 saves as you told us in the video...Thumbs up :)
Yes! I was certainly looking forward to this one! Thank you again for your hard work! I am glad that you are feeling better from your sinus infection. As someone who has a very strong weakness to them, you have my sympathies. I hope that you can find (or found) a good doctor that can really help your sinuses!
Hey carci! I just finished the run! Clocked my time at 1:53:34. I didn’t have enough grenades for G4 but it didn’t matter because using the train strat with the minigun still works great. Thanks for the guide bud! Onward to Leon and Claire 2nd
To you, and everyone else who has gotten an S+ rank within the needed time, and for whichever scenarios, awesome job! I have three scenarios left to do Hardcore, then I have all of Standard, it will take a long time to get to them, but I am proud & happy for all of you to do it. Anyone can! You all rock!
Let me tell you something, I played on PS4 and used your strats you showed us on PC version and completed with out of trouble only using ammo instead of knifes and I'm happy cause I made S+ rank was hard though but satisfying at the same time thanks for the advices Carci saludos desde México
You definately can kill G1 knives only at 30 or 60 FPS easily, I've done it on both PC and PS4 with no damage. All you need is three knives (1st you get from Marvin , Library one and lastly the Armory one). Start the fight and knife him until he grabs, stab him , knife him again until 2nd grab (stay in range of the grab command otherwise he sometimes smashes you with his pole) stab him with the knife and while he reels in pain knife until he dies , I've done it quite consistently. Using 2 knives and a handful of bullets also works really well and saves an immense amount of ammo/time.
Super helpful run! Inventory management saves so much time (I was going about it in the wrong order until I saw this lol). I really hope you do Claire/Leon B run. :)
Thanks dude, I used this as a rough guide to get through standard with no health, no box and less than 14000 steps with minimal time. Got kinda worried about item space a few times due to all the key items stacking up but in the end it was smooth sailing.
Good stuff as usual carci 👌 going to start speedrunning this game this weekend for practice. Thanks again for all your hard work, bless you, and merry xmas!!🎄🎁👌
Cool thing I figured out when the licker that spawns in the maiden statue area can be avoided if you sprint out through the opening go straight and hug the wall on the right you don’t have to shoot him at all
Thanks, I absolutely love this game and am learning the strats for hardcore mode console at the moment, some of it I figured out myself, but it's really cool learning some tricks from speedrunners like yourself and your commentary is very clear and helpful, thanks!
@@CarcinogenSDA yeah, I understand, was just referring to people like yourself as speedrunners though I realize you do a lot more than just speed run these games, I'm watching the video to learn some more efficient/better strats as Claire on hardcore as I can beat it on this mode comfortably but I'm not good enough just yet to do an S+ run...really helpful so far, thanks again
39:26 whew, lad. I know that feel. Thanks for the work you put in on these videos Carci, very informative and helpful. Edit* Shooting lickers in the ass with a flame round does kill them in one shot if they're on the floor when you shoot. I don't remember if I ever tested it on hardcore but definitely on standard.
thanks man, finally bought the game, was trying hardcore on first run, but it's fairly different from the original (on gameplay at least), but just 6 mins of your vid and i was able to re-adjust my game to fit right back in action, will watch it all after i finish my own first playthrough at hardcore to see the differences and where can i improve, since your explanations are clear and concise enough to help instantly, like in my case.
i used this run. One change i DID make, however, was to run around the zombie in the King/Queen room (easy to do as he is getting up), grab the Spark Shot, and use one of its shots to take it out (a bit faster, and allows you to use the flame round on a G-Adult in the Organ Trail to stun without using a grenade and make that room a bit safer; that or use it to stun on the way out if you get bad RNG).
Fucking got to g1, and he hit me once, i was like, “fine, life’s still alright...” he locked me in a corner when he hit me, and that pipe got some gud head tonight lemme tell u 🤦♂️ [fast forward a few hours later and after one g2 loss but g3 and g4 cheese]: “Twas’ but a tickle of a dream this nightmare was to i, one that shan’t best me no more!” Thx so much for the Claire A S+ walkthrough guide and i look forward to hearing ur, might I say, delectably wondrous phrasing again in other videos my guy! Total time: 1:37:53
Glad this see this get commentary it's just not the same without it. I did my no damage run off the original no commentary run and just kept getting hit by those lickers in the lab because I wasn't waiting long enough to shoot the one on the ceiling so I just used your Leon A sneak strat instead. Thanks for the video.
I totally felt that frustration with the plastic scissors, they never cut, the handles gave you blisters and cuts on the thumb from digging in and the blades would push past and overlap each other. I always ended up with the plastic scissors in primary school. The struggle is real.
I probably should have waited to watch this whole video but instead I played along with you. I died alot but I managed to get my first S+ rank. Thanks for the help lol. Gonna try again for Leon next
Thanks 👍👍👍 bro you got a new subscriber I manage to beat the game in 2:06:15 because I kept dying durning G2 and G4 durning G2 i only had 7 fire rounds I had used a acid against giant sewers elephant I manage to get past the first one used it on the second one I had used SLS 60 Special bullet on the zombie where you get king and queen I didn't need to use electric gun on the elephant it had punch the wall it almost grab me I shoot birkins once when he attack from the ceiling then escape then did everything else G4 I didn't use my grenade after 2nd try I only had 4 grenades and use over 300 mini-gun .
Bro mr X was literally scary for me when i played first time but he is seriously not that much of a obstacle if u can bait out and avoid his punches man I remember spending good 10 minutes with him baiting him out and laughing at him especially when he sees u after he missed his punch 😂
1:36:10 I fell asleep watching another RE2 thing, and awoke the next morning to this about two months ago. Just something worth noting. If you like credits. Timestamp G2: 1:03:33 For Personal Reference.
During Sherry's segment, the only time you actually *have* to crouch is when you're going under something. It's a bit tricky standing in just the right spot not to get caught, but I just tested it twice myself (basic PS4). I'm going to test it on PC to make sure it isn't just an old PS4 thing. It was also on Assisted; not sure if that matters. Edit: Yep, it works. Got it first try.
Just wanted to leave a comment and say thank you for this guide. I wanted to get S+ rank and I was following a different TH-camr and I honestly think that TH-camr was getting waaaay more luckier than I was. I had a really hard time dodging Birkin second fight. Also Birkin first fight he would just knife away and kill but for me Birkin would always grab me. Anyays, got my first S+ on Claire A. Gotta do B now for Leon.
Great and simple to the point walkthrough. Your video was very helpful as well as the Leon walkthrough. Both helped me in getting the "S" rating and Harcore trophies 🏆 on the PS5 version of RE2.
years later, based on this video and multiple playthroughs. you really can grab a portable safe when you take the emerald key. Then go up the stairs at the main hall, and unlock the door to the library, but don't open it Then go as usual, but now you can discard the key before meeting with Leon. This allows you to bring a button to your first visit to the armory, and take two more very valuable flame rounds. And, as Claire it is doable to get a second button, if you decide to run for the SMG. Because you're NEED to get the key, that also opens up room with the second button. Taking the neccesary for the smg is also easier as Claire, since she gets the heart key, and can kill a licker with just two grenades (those two extra). And all this just because I found that you can kill G2 using only SMG and pair of flashbangs.
After a lot of struggle and hairr pulling i got S+ for leon and am now doing clair. I fn hate the first fight with x. It kills me running in circles and half the time i die. But thanks for putting the time in, you've helped me prioritize my time.
So I've tried Claire A hardcore just doing a blind run for the first time and I didn't complete it. So I decided to watch this video and take notes so hopefully I will be more prepared. You make this look so easy and approachable. I'm going to take healing items because I know I'm going to make mistakes and get bit occasionally. I'm especially nervous about the G adults. I can't really dodge them easily.
Hey, love the video, I actually did it in sections. This was only my 3rd resident evil game and second one completed and this was my second run through of the game. Can you believe that??!! I modified some stuff because I didn't have some of the ammo due to missing some slight components like the first gun powder, and having to use 1 or 2 grenades as defense. But I had 6 grenades when I fought g4, brought some flash grenades and wham 2 hours. Not too bad, yes I did take damage but my goal was an s rank and actually didn't know s+ existed. I want to thank you for all the hard work in the video. I didnt watch the whole video in one sit, but broke it into chunks. I actually did 3 saves, 1 save before g1, another on the point when I first got to the sewers and the third in the lab itself. But overall it was pretty awesome.
I have been practicing this run, I practiced in Standard with 3 saves, got it down locked, I just did hardcore S+ this AM, Hughe difference between Standard and Hardcore is inventory management, you gotta know what your doing if not your gonna end up going back and forward to the box, but overall if you do what Carci says and understand why you’ll be alright for sure like me
Awesome 😎 just picked up a ps4 pro and resident evil 2 remake 3 remake 4 remake 7 gold edition and 8 now I need to binge watch a lot of carci videos to learns some good strategies for theses games 😎

Super helpful run! Inventory management saves so much time (I was going about it in the wrong order until I saw this lol). I really hope you do Claire/Leon B run. :)
doesn’t matter, the Leon B run uses console strats. Only my Claire PC No Save No Damage runs use the knife trick.
Thanks dude, I used this as a rough guide to get through standard with no health, no box and less than 14000 steps with minimal time.

this video is obsolete, please check for a newer version of the console strats runs
i used this run. One change i DID make, however, was to run around the zombie in the King/Queen room (easy to do as he is getting up), grab the Spark Shot, and use one of its shots to take it out (a bit faster, and allows you to use the flame round on a G-Adult in the Organ Trail to stun without using a grenade and make that room a bit safer; that or use it to stun on the way out if you get bad RNG).
Save the spark shot for the final boss on the tram
THANK U SO MUCH CARCI UR RUNS REALLY HELPED ME GET THE BONUS WEAPONS ILY !!!!
Fucking got to g1, and he hit me once, i was like, “fine, life’s still alright...” he locked me in a corner when he hit me, and that pipe got some gud head tonight lemme tell u 🤦♂️
[fast forward a few hours later and after one g2 loss but g3 and g4 cheese]: “Twas’ but a tickle of a dream this nightmare was to i, one that shan’t best me no more!”
Thx so much for the Claire A S+ walkthrough guide and i look forward to hearing ur, might I say, delectably wondrous phrasing again in other videos my guy!
Total time: 1:37:53
Glad this see this get commentary it's just not the same without it. I did my no damage run off the original no commentary run and just kept getting hit by those lickers in the lab because I wasn't waiting long enough to shoot the one on the ceiling so I just used your Leon A sneak strat instead. Thanks for the video.
Thanks bud, just got my s+ with Claire.
I totally felt that frustration with the plastic scissors, they never cut, the handles gave you blisters and cuts on the thumb from digging in and the blades would push past and overlap each other. I always ended up with the plastic scissors in primary school. The struggle is real.
I probably should have waited to watch this whole video but instead I played along with you. I died alot but I managed to get my first S+ rank. Thanks for the help lol. Gonna try again for Leon next
Thanks 👍👍👍 bro you got a new subscriber I manage to beat the game in 2:06:15 because I kept dying durning G2 and G4 durning G2 i only had 7 fire rounds I had used a acid against giant sewers elephant I manage to get past the first one used it on the second one I had used SLS 60 Special bullet on the zombie where you get king and queen I didn't need to use electric gun on the elephant it had punch the wall it almost grab me I shoot birkins once when he attack from the ceiling then escape then did everything else G4 I didn't use my grenade after 2nd try I only had 4 grenades and use over 300 mini-gun .
been looking forward to hearing commentary for this one for a while!
I did it!!! Hardcore S+ for me. Thank you sooo much for this
Bro mr X was literally scary for me when i played first time but he is seriously not that much of a obstacle if u can bait out and avoid his punches man I remember spending good 10 minutes with him baiting him out and laughing at him especially when he sees u after he missed his punch 😂
1:36:10 I fell asleep watching another RE2 thing, and awoke the next morning to this about two months ago. Just something worth noting. If you like credits.
Timestamp G2: 1:03:33 For Personal Reference.
Great video, thanks.
Your tips got me the minigun and now Mr X is nothing to me.
During Sherry's segment, the only time you actually *have* to crouch is when you're going under something. It's a bit tricky standing in just the right spot not to get caught, but I just tested it twice myself (basic PS4). I'm going to test it on PC to make sure it isn't just an old PS4 thing. It was also on Assisted; not sure if that matters.
Edit: Yep, it works. Got it first try.
Who says you have to crouch? I've never heard anyone say you "have" to.
Just wanted to leave a comment and say thank you for this guide. I wanted to get S+ rank and I was following a different TH-camr and I honestly think that TH-camr was getting waaaay more luckier than I was. I had a really hard time dodging Birkin second fight. Also Birkin first fight he would just knife away and kill but for me Birkin would always grab me. Anyays, got my first S+ on Claire A. Gotta do B now for Leon.
Great and simple to the point walkthrough. Your video was very helpful as well as the Leon walkthrough. Both helped me in getting the "S" rating and Harcore trophies 🏆 on the PS5 version of RE2.
i have better videos i uploaded this year.
@@CarcinogenSDA The next game I'll play is RE3 on PS5 and I'll put on my queue the latest videos you have for it. Once again great content. 👍
years later, based on this video and multiple playthroughs.
you really can grab a portable safe when you take the emerald key.
Then go up the stairs at the main hall, and unlock the door to the library, but don't open it
Then go as usual, but now you can discard the key before meeting with Leon. This allows you to bring a button to your first visit to the armory, and take two more very valuable flame rounds.
And, as Claire it is doable to get a second button, if you decide to run for the SMG. Because you're NEED to get the key, that also opens up room with the second button. Taking the neccesary for the smg is also easier as Claire, since she gets the heart key, and can kill a licker with just two grenades (those two extra).
And all this just because I found that you can kill G2 using only SMG and pair of flashbangs.
I’m so glad you did this, awesome! Literally tried to do this last night.
just recently got into RE & this got me my first S+ game 🥰🥰 tysm
58:00 Damn that costume is so dang hot. Ada should be worried
After a lot of struggle and hairr pulling i got S+ for leon and am now doing clair. I fn hate the first fight with x. It kills me running in circles and half the time i die.
But thanks for putting the time in, you've helped me prioritize my time.
everytime :) its not a speedrun , just save the time most possible in a safest method. love that
Doing it in any other way than collecting all items, is a speed run. I've done it in 2 hours, and to do that, I missed lots of stuff out.
So I've tried Claire A hardcore just doing a blind run for the first time and I didn't complete it. So I decided to watch this video and take notes so hopefully I will be more prepared. You make this look so easy and approachable. I'm going to take healing items because I know I'm going to make mistakes and get bit occasionally. I'm especially nervous about the G adults. I can't really dodge them easily.
Just got my first ever S+ following this, thanks so much dude!!!! I got 1:49:29
didn't know that the focus shots increases crit very useful information carcinogen another great run
They don't. Criticals are totally random.
36:40 = Confused Mr.X
Hey, love the video, I actually did it in sections. This was only my 3rd resident evil game and second one completed and this was my second run through of the game. Can you believe that??!! I modified some stuff because I didn't have some of the ammo due to missing some slight components like the first gun powder, and having to use 1 or 2 grenades as defense. But I had 6 grenades when I fought g4, brought some flash grenades and wham 2 hours. Not too bad, yes I did take damage but my goal was an s rank and actually didn't know s+ existed. I want to thank you for all the hard work in the video. I didnt watch the whole video in one sit, but broke it into chunks. I actually did 3 saves, 1 save before g1, another on the point when I first got to the sewers and the third in the lab itself. But overall it was pretty awesome.
Great run and lol at the Dr. Tran references during the 48:00 minute mark.
I appreciate the presentation of different costumes.
Made it to hardcore with S+ was quite easy to destroy G3 & G4 using your strats,thank you for the walkthrough...cheers..
1:54:.. baby! Off to Leon. It’s going to be hard not using the infinite gat
I have been practicing this run, I practiced in Standard with 3 saves, got it down locked, I just did hardcore S+ this AM, Hughe difference between Standard and Hardcore is inventory management, you gotta know what your doing if not your gonna end up going back and forward to the box, but overall if you do what Carci says and understand why you’ll be alright for sure like me
This helped me get 1:46:04 and S+ thank you so much!
Awesome 😎 just picked up a ps4 pro and resident evil 2 remake 3 remake 4 remake 7 gold edition and 8 now I need to binge watch a lot of carci videos to learns some good strategies for theses games 😎
