- In episode thirteen of our Mutant Year Zero Iron Mutant Walkthrough, we head into the Forbidden City, encounter a new and even more dangerous enemy and make our way towards Eden. ► Full Playlist: bit.ly/3cmcejp
We continue our walkthrough of Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden in this episode on Very Hard difficulty with Iron Mutant mode turned on! In this episode, we take on the last stage of our journey to Eden and head through the Grave of the Ancients and into the Forbidden City. Attempting to overtake the Nova Sect, we have to fight our way through lots of Robots, including the MIMIR Z800 - an even more dangerous foe than any that we have faced before. Still, thanks to the careful management of our circuit breakers, the liberal use of EMP grenades, and the acquisition of the powerful PC98, we manage to get through unharmed. Before we leave the Fobidden City, we quickly loot a Roboshack for the "Tea Leaf" achievement and grab the final artifact of the game, unlocking the "100% Old Skool" achievement. All that is left now is to find out if Eden really exists - or if the Elder was right all along...

In this Completionist Mutant Year Zero Walkthrough, we attempt to beat Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden on the Very Hard difficulty setting with Iron Mutant mode turned on. In this walkthrough, we control a group of mutant Stalkers from the Ark who venture out into the zone in search of valuable scrap, weapon parts and artifacts to keep the Ark running and its inhabitants alive. During their journey through the post-apocalyptic wasteland, our protagonists encounter a variety of enemies and can engage them in tactical turn-based combat. Stealth plays a large role in Mutant Year Zero, as it is often possible to sneakily take out isolated enemies before attacking the main group of foes. By staying hidden, we can also frequently ambush our opponents and earn the advantage of going first in combat.
This Mutant Year Zero Walkthrough will be completed on Very Hard difficulty, the hardest difficulty setting in Mutant Year Zero. On Very Hard difficulty, enemies deal more damage, our characters do not regenerate their health and our skills and abilities are locked behind cooldowns that can only be reset by taking out more enemies. To further increase the challenge, we also play with Iron Mutant mode turned, making all of our decisions permanent. Iron Mutant mode prevents us from reverting back to an earlier save file if things go wrong, so if we mess up, we will have to live with the consequences. Paired together, Very Hard difficulty and Iron Mutant mode provide by far the toughest challenge in Mutant Year Zero - but they also offer the most intense gameplay experience.
Since this is a completionist walkthrough of Mutant Year Zero on Very Hard Iron Mutant difficulty, we will also focus on unlocking almost all achievements in the game. Mutant Year Zero offers a total of 36 achievements and with the exception of only two, all of them can be unlocked during one single playthrough. The only achievements that are mutually exclusive are the "QA have suffered" achievement for finishing the game on Iron Mutant mode on the Very Hard difficulty without losing a squad member and the "Tastes like Chicken" achievement for killing one of our own squad members using one of Bormin's special mutation abilities. A choice between the two achievements will have to take place at some point, but apart from that, all other achievements will be completed and unlocked.
Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a tactical turn-based action-adventure game with a focus on stealth and strategy. It was developed by the Swedish studio The Bearded Ladies, published by Funcom, and released in 2018. In Mutant Year Zero, we control a group of Mutant characters, all with their own individual specializiations and explore the zone, the post-apocalyptic wasteland surrounding the Mutants' home base, the so-called Ark. The game features plenty of turn-based combat that was inspired by the XCOM series but puts its own twist on things: Very often, enemies can be avoided altogether by sneaking by them and with a broad variety of weapons, outfits, items and useful mutations, we have a lot of options to engage our enemies and to decide combat encounters in our favor.

Join me for the second-to-last episode in this series! And just to make sure: I have of course not forgotten about those two enemies in the first area - we'll pay them a visit next time! By the way, the German saying I mentioned at 25:05 goes "So viel Zeit muss sein". Enjoy :) ► Full Playlist: bit.ly/3cmcejp
For the non-germans who are too lazy to use a translator - it's roughly "One should always have time [for looting]" or "There's got to be time [for looting]". Great video, keep it up!
@@mcofficer that's a very... peculiar saying. What are its origins?
@@joelfilho2625 Interesting question, which spiked my curiosity (so far i've always taken that phrase as a given). Unfortunately i couldn't find anything regarding its origin.
The only reference I could find was an American explaining it as such: "In Germany, there is a certain understanding that time must be taken and partitioned out for certain tasks." Of course, that might've been this person's subjective interpretation. I can't post the source here, because then youtube will withhold the comment for review, so google for "German phrase of the day: Soviel Zeit muss sein".
If you find out more, please let me know!
I found out a different meaning when I googled the German phrase! Very interesting if I say so myself!
Pete, did you ever clear the Mausoleum of Suburbia? I don't remember.
"You defy me and tread on forbidden lands, and all for a fool's errand that will lead you to an early grave! Anyway, thanks for stopping by to chat. :)"
>:( ... :D
The elder is well... elderly.
Only Pete can make what is essentially a "100%, zero-damage, max-difficulty walkthrough" into an entertaining and addicting series.
I was skeptical when this series started, but it's quickly become one of my favorite on your channel. It'll be a shame to see it go
yeah, a very good one indeed. Please Pete, continue with the DLC.
I felt kinda the opposite. Really enjoyed the starting episodes but the game quickly got repetitive and stable on me.
@@bruhder5854 True, but that goes for every strategy/tactic game out there. Once you are educated regarding core functions you will make decisions with a predicted outcome. I skip the small fights but still enjoy the series. I dont have to invest money for the game (its a bit boring to me - playing it) but still can experience the story in a calming narrated way.
20:21 What a dramatic camera angle to debut a weapon with.
Its over polis bot. I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND
12:12 Pete: My goal for this play-through is to show you a way to beat the game without taking damage guaranteed.
*Proceeds to jump off from top of an apartment.
I was so ready for him to take 1 point of damage and start screaming into the void
Obligatory "how about those two enemies in the starting area" comment for the algorithm.
There's just something about the way Pete does his comentry that makes it feel like a podcast. Really love the way he explains stuff in detail so i could simply work without missing anything happening on screen if I wasn't looking, really makes it feel complete. I love these episodes and the commentary, keep up the great work!
His voice is also very smooth and calming, love it.
18:21 , Fox'd and Loaded !
Also, giggling every time a polis-bot gets wrecked and it's head bounces towards camera :p
The sad thing after watching this video is knowing nothing will live up to this moment for another week. Guess i'll take a nap. Wake me in a week
I feel like this "Thank you for letting an old man ramble. Go in peace, Stalkers."-line should have been slightly modified once you start going against his orders. It just seems... out of place.
Exactly what I thought. Like he is going bipolar during the meeting :D
@@Maeniel83 Maybe he is
... "So viel Zeit muss sein" and I think it's beautiful! :D
Even when you make a 'stealth' attack on an enemy, everyone keeps yells crap at them.
The enemies must be fairly hard of hearing...
Well, i don't think yelling is really a problem when you consider they don't even notice the giant explosions when their fellow robots die
@@bantaman8723 "Was that Steve? Never liked him much, heheh-" *gets 3 critical shots and blow up*
The voice acting in this game is great but I do think having the lines be a bit more context-aware would have been a considerable enhancement.
Pete, please never stop making rimworld videos
.I'll forever watch every single one of them ❤️
I really like your approach of not buying any more grenades and such, it adds a nice little (more) challenge. :D
So pumped for the next episode! This has be one of your best series of all time!
the "So viel Zeit, muss sein!" part killed me... xD
What a weird saying to translate into English literally.
Is it like "I have all the time in the world", in English?
That knock back+chain lightning combo was magic the gatheringesque
Just the other day I finished Pillars of Eternity and looking at achievements couldn't help but think "Only Pete could've do some of this".
Another great episode. Thank you Pete.
I'm a bit sad that it's soon the end of the series. After south park this is my favorite walkthrough so far. I really like the way you play and all the knowledge you have about the game.
And the way you play with the 100% achievement in mind is really impressive!
Excellent series! I very much enjoy hearing your calm soothing voice
I would really love to see the Gears of War Tactics play through on the hardest difficulty. I believe Pete Complete would be the only person that could beat the game and make it look like a cakewalk. Love your videos!
Pete are you not forgetting that one crate in the opening of the game in the part where they teach you how to sneak
Pinned comment..... :p
i think of this each episode xD
I didn't expect this series to become my favourite series of yours but it is a happy suprise
Hi Pete, would love to see you play kingdom two crowns, either single player or controlling 2 monarchs at once as a fun challenge. Keep up the great work!
Hi Pete, thank you very much for some of the best content available on YT. Not sure if anyone else have pointed it out, but you missed a EMP grenade and weapons parts in the beginning of this area. It is on the second floor of the building where you took down the three police bots. Keep it up and i hope you would consider playing the DLC to this game in the near future.
25:04 The first time I heard you speak German on the channel, but so viel Zeit musste sein^^
In der Ruhe liegt die Kraft.
What did he say?
@cosmicowl7943 Basically, "there is plenty of time."
I just finished watching the last episode a couple hours ago and so wanted another one! Great timing and thanks for all the great content!
Love it, excited for the conclusion
Seriously, this Elder really makes me wonder if he's schizophrenic... Mad, rambing and aggravated in one moment, calm and jolly the next......
Crazy how far you’ve come Pete. I’ve been subbed since like 20k or say maybe 30k but you have been one of my favorite TH-camrs in the game. Props brother.
Posted 1 minute ago... Yeah sure, why go to bed anyways :D
Ganz genau, mein Freund!
"So viel Zeit muss sein."
@@LexMonster1 Exactly!
What a great series!
I just love Ferrow.
she's so cool looking and powerful.
and also a fox
it feels weird to hear pete call the double 50% bot stun attachments inconsistent: I blazed through this game after he brought it to me with this series, and the entire time through this area I cruised right through it using those on my stealth pistols. I honestly expected that 2 50% chances would _have_ to fail at some point, so I had the whole squad stocked with emp grenades just incase, but it never happened. However this game calculates percentages, it somehow worked out to 100% because one or the other always worked. Never needed to use circuit breaker, and even un-equipped it after a few fights.
However, that drone that he had to kill at the top of the stairs and blow them out, I >never< saw it up there on my play through, just sitting there stopped. Or at least I don't think I did? I may be gaslighting myself here.
I remember the area because despite what pete said, as long as you have an enemy alive on the map somewhere, you can use the jumping passive or active mutations to get up there by just repeatedly walking a unit away from the fight up there while the other members hide. Or fly there, of course. I remember that so vividly because I also blew out the ladder up there somehow, and needed to do this to get the loot.
damn pete, a half hour long episode
fantastic is the least of my praises
you deserve a vacation
Nice vid Pete!
perfect. just wake up to this, so I brought a coffee and watch this
Hemmakvälj and "min sko", yes, those are practically real Swedish business (Hemmakväll and Din Sko). One reason this game has been interesting to follow. Just curious what city was the forbidden city.
Gøteborg / Göteborg / Gothenburg. It fits with all geographical landmarks around it, and I believe it's on at least one of the Swedish signs seen early in the game.
Love this series. I will be sad to see it end.
Can't wait!
Thanks for the video!
Brilliant Episode as always Pete, just wondering if you were going to deal with the tank/marauder combo you snuk past at the metal bird back in Episode 1 before this series is over, as I don't quite remember you going back to it in the series
Oh yeah, the Elder is showing his true colors
6:32 Apparently the kit includes the means to extract a human egg cell. That sounds... painful.
Superb game. Took me a while to get the hang of it. Vastly different from xcom in many respects.
Was waiting for this :)
69 level. Nice! Also, box in the earlier tutorial maps.
We have a saying in my native tongue Turkish, “acele ise seytan karisir”. Which translates to a meaning of, always be calm when you are doing a task.
don't forget to go back and kill those high level enemies in the first zone
STONKS AMBULANS
Hi, I just wanted to say that Mimir was successful! People went to space. That's were the lore split between Mutant and Mutant Chronicles.
17 likes on a 35 minute video posted 2 minutes ago. I see many cultured individuals who just KNOW this is going to be good before they even watch it! :)
Hey hey, my favorite time of the day
I'm going to miss the turn based tactics playthroughs here. Loved the XCOM one, and this one. I gather XCOM 2 is in the future, but is Phoenix Point as well? It looks great, however I'm terrible at such games :p
Really enjoying this series, i hope you do the dlc
great video!
don't forget
about the ghouls
that in the first level drools
15:45 as we say here in Argentina, Marcus la esta re flasheando
And ten minutes later Pete says something in German, easy on the
plagiarism Pete.
Really gonna miss this series. I hope you do the DLC.
Dont forget to kill the tank we saw in the first episode Pete!
At about 6:30 two air hockey machines are visible. My favorite game of all times
Been loving this series! I may have missed it but I recall some high level enemies in the very first episode. Will you be going back to them? (Not sure if it matters anyway)
Sleep is for the weak!!! Give me more Pete!!
Not a spoiler, I haven't played the game, but I'm pretty sure the Elder is Ingmar Edison and the mutants are his subjects. If so, please do not confirm, I just wanted to share my thoughts.
same, Edison's voice reading the journal entry sounds sounds just like the Elder does.
@@airforce9872 Yup, super similar.
@@doublesoul862 like, it could just be they happened to use the same voice actor? but our theory sounds too plausible for it to be just a coincidence
7:55 Watch out for flying heads
So since we are far enough in that it wouldn't matter much if I was right or wrong, a small crackpot prediction cuz it would be fun if it was true:
Dr. Elderson created the Mutants in the hopes to create a new set of lifeforms capable of living in this world without losing their mental faculties and Impulse control like the ghouls. Support for his project was cancelled though so he decided to take the ones who were already finished and leave the Eden Enclave to set up base inside the zone and continue his work using the mutants to keep himself safe from the ghouls.
One of the mutants with mind control powers by the name of Plutonia however came to believe that before the reconstruction can begin, the zone needs to be cleansed of all non-mutant life and created a religious cult around herself. Several of the other mind control variant mutants were either influenced or voluntarily became her followers and ended up taking away more and more control from Dr. Elderson who couldn't bring himself to kill his own creations and decided to leave with the few who hadn't been completely affected by Plutonia yet. Somewhere along the lines the mind control mutants started doing mushrooms to increase their mind control powers (or just for fun).
Seeing her example though, he decided that in order to ensure a second Plutonia does not arise, he would have to wipe their memories (or perhaps it was a side effect of leaving the mind control mutants) and so that is what he did and settled on the Ark, creating a mythology that would make it appear the Ark had existed for a long time. Those mutants who had lost their memories were the ones who would become the Stalkers and the resisents of the Ark.
The Chronicler Bodin that ended up capturing Hammond would then have either been the one to help him wipe their minds or just someone they knew from before - Hammond himself also being ex-Eden which is why it was so important to capture him and extract the information of it's location.
Eventually Bodin went over to the side of Plutonia though and delivered Hammond to her.
Knowing that Eden would not accept the mutants and would likely kill them if they encountered them (anti-mutant sentiment possibly being the reason the project was stopped), the Elder decided to keep it secret from the mutants and tell them Eden was a fairytale.
This theory is mostly for fun. In order for it to work, I do have to do some wonky time-scale things and disregard a few other factors like a few of the other people living on the Ark who clearly have decades of memories but eh. Maybe they are all in on it. Who knows.
Tinfoil hat mode disengaged.
Hey, sorry if this comment is late, but ever since the first episode of your series, I can't stop thinking about those two level 55 enemies in the fist stage, and what they might have for loot. It could be totally irrelevant, I'm just curious if you're going to go back to that area. By the way, I am really loving the series. I never really would've approached this game, but when you did a series on it, I was completely hooked. Thanks for the great series!
Pete making the hardest difficulty seem easy XD
You still haven't checked on those 2 level 55 enemies at first/second zone. Also, in one of first episodes, there was a broken bridge, which seemed like you could jump over by using ability. You did say that you'll return to it.
I can’t remember if you went back and killed those really high level ghouls in the very beginning of the game.
What a chapter! And I loved your german say. What does it mean?
Something bizarrely specific I just noticed: the chair Iridia sits on is an Eames lounge chair
Are you not going to revisit one of the earlier locations guarded by some high-level (for the time, when we first saw them) enemies? I forgot which location that is, I think it has a level 55 tank or something.
If the elder, i.e. dr. edison, would just be honest with his science experiments things would probably play out different. Also how is a pack of random wasteland ghouls supposed to take down an advanced robot factory?
I'd be interested to see how you approach a new game, in a kinda walkthrough your thought process way.
It's a pain in the arse to mute Farrow every time she talks, but it sure does enhance the game no end!
What is more unlikely? The robots in the Forbidden city still having power? Or the fact that Ducks and Farrow haven`t banged yet?
I have been using duks first with the 50% chance to disable robots and if that doesn't hit then i use circuit breaker from Farrow, i have done it on the last 6 bots and so far the 50% has been 100%. lol maybe save some EMP grenades'. if it ever does miss, ill then use duks circuit breaker, but at least i still have it until he misses with the pistol.
Second to last? What a short game.
Dont forget the first 2 enemies you skipped in the beginning
Awe, not going into the DLC on this one? That's unfortunate. :C
Love your videos Pete, the amount of effort to put into your decision making and how cleanly you execute them is always such a joy to see. However this game, I really enjoyed it at first since I knew nothing about it and it was a fun experience discovering it but as these episodes have progressed, the story and the world has really gotten stale on me and ultimately have lost my interest. The lack of randomness unlike with xcom really makes everything feel a bit repetitive here imo. Nonetheless best of wishes and I hope you'll start another playthrough of another game soon.
Wait wait is this set in Sweden? I thought Polisbot was just their weird way of saying police bot, but seeing the signs in the world with stuff like "Valkommen!" makes me think it's Sweden
It is Sweden. More specifically Göteborg.
@@AndreasWinkler83 neato, my favourite country
Stimmt, du sprichst ja deutsch. Das erklärt warum ich dein Englisch so gut verstehe....
To be fair, Pete's English is very good and completely free of the teutonic colour most of us put in there ^^°
i usually dont comment .... aber so viel Zeit muss sein.
Hey Pete, with Mutant Year Zero winding down, would it be possible to see a completionist run of Othercide?
Seems worth a try, looks nice, but on ps4 i read it struggles.
No strategy top layer in this i guess, just turnbased combat, in mostly story driven scripted areas.
I love tbs though.
25:03 Wait-wait-wait. You're from Germany?! Really?! I was so happy to understand every last word of a native english speaker, but you r not the one? Your pronounce is so clear and a vocabulary is so extensive so I... Nevermind. How did you raise your level in English to C2?
will you actually go back to the starting area to kill those enemys you bypassed there at the beginning wich were too high level at that time ?
First time hearing you speak German and I have no clue from which part you could come from 🤔
The elder is not only full of shit he also sounds suspiciously like the doctor in the recording.
Did he ever came back to the 1st map and kill the 2 HL mob there? HL as hight as lv40, which is trivial now...
😱😁👍
If only we could of brought the Pervy Parker Sex Robot back to the Elder to add to his *ahem* research collection.
There were 2 enemies in the beginning of the series that you skipped, you gonna finish them?
You are, still, missing the loot from the first area. Now's the time to grab that, I'd say.
will he grab the loot from the start of the game where there were level 60 enemies???
25:03 Any Germans here can do a rough translation?
