Can You Beat Resident Evil 4 Remake Without Shooting ANY Guns? 

TOURNAMENT INFO matcherino.com/t/re4 therun.gg/WaifuRuns

You probably know this but if you give Ashley sunglasses as a accessory she won't be blinded by flashes.

The Garrador Knife prompt seems to be tied to whether he's aggrod or not. As long as he's still wildly swinging around himself it won't pop up but as soon as he lowers his guard its available again.

19:00. Here's a tip for the first Red Zealot ! If you pull the lever for the giant spike ball and immediately run to the elevator lever the Zealot will load in before the spike ball passes him and he will get crushed ! I hope this helps !!

20:13 And then the other golden egg from the throne room can be used to finish him off with a second hit.

Im sorry i need to see Dante Ravioli attempt this to really feel like I’ve gotten the full experience

Love how half the comments are tips for Waifu, that he either does in this video or has done in the other RE4R video.

At 10:51 regarding you saying you'd like a Devil May Cry 1 remake, I thought I was the only one who wanted that, it would look magnificent with the current engine

Imagine if knife only runs were called Krauser runs haha

thank god you addressed the church bell any streamer playing re4 speed runner or not has their chat full of shoot the bell spam when they get to the village and its unbearable

Mickey wake up Waifu posted a video

Im following you for a long time now. I just need to say thats its insane how well your content is and how it is constantly improving. Keep up the great work. Love it!

One of the first things I tried with the infinite ammo launcher was to blow open the door at the start of castle. If you can’t do it with the launcher, I have no faith that you can do it with grenades.

I imagine you know already, but in case you don't, you can also flashbang the Garradors after you make their parasite come out. It's a small window, but it's doable. I doubt it would work well in challenge like this though.

Been addicted to watching your videos, always great story telling!

You calling it the 3 heads of Cerberus and me being a Greek myth nerd made me die it’s the Chimera

This is easily one of my top 5 favorite RU-vid channel.

“Needing some heads” after the nap on the water is one of the funniest things I’ve heard. I seriously thought you were gonna keep that word singular 😂

you can actually get another gold egg from the throne room to use to use on Salazar so you don't have to hold on to the Bawk island one.

You probably read this somewhere later but with the Verdugo boss you can clip through the elevator door with the sniper. Verdugo then can not attack you weirdly enough. It’s pretty funny just watching his feet run at you😂

"Golden egg on Bawk island" so i guess this is RE canon now. It's officialy Bawkbasoups island. Damn that makes me giggle like an idiot. Great run Waifu! super fun to watch.

For those who don't know; Ranged Ganado will shout "Ahi va-eso!" at you when they throw their weapon. It's Spanish for 'Here it comes!' or 'There it goes!' depending on the context. It's basically them shouting 'Catch this!' at Leon every time they throw something. #TheMoreYouKnow c:

Why didn't you knife the bell to skip the village segment?

Thank you for answering my question! This was a great run!

And RPG is a rocket propelled GRENADE. It's a grenade. 6 shots.

Lmao omg the village skip needs a bell emote xD

You can actually kill the first red zealot in the clock tower with the spiked ball trap by triggering it and then running to the elevator immediately. It's actually hilarious when it happens.

21:27 you absolutely don't have to destroy this particular mine, you can crouch and walk past it (as i did). Other mines on this location are unavoidable, that's true

You can equip Ash with sunglasses to shield her from flash.

The PSA is hilarious

This was really good content 😊

12:53 😂Throwing eggs at stone is not a proverb anymore

I'm honestly surprised that they didn't add Throwing knives into this game. Then again, Capcom would probably create a new trophy for beating the game with knife only so screw that.

Gotta love this though: RE4 Original, "Bounty for chimera skip still is a thing, please find a way!!!" RE4 Remake, "You can't just ignore bounds and physics to phase through walls, Leon!" "Hahaa, sniper go zoommmmm!" 🤣

5:07 you missed the opportunity to make a beowulf movie joke

I think I know where the inconsistencies come from fighting Garadors: when the Garadors are at high hp they become vulnerable after that 4 swing sequence, but once they are wounded they start adding turnaround swing to do after that sequence and there won't be a prompt in between. When they're really heavily wounded I think they can do at least 2 turnarounds in a row before they become vulnerable again. Basically they're vulnerable when they're walking around slowly or standing in place moving their head around back and forth from side to side.

Dude, I can't listen to you while such good music is playing that loudly. I keep rewinding to listen to you and still listen to music. This song at 11:55 SLAMS.

The fact that someone with 2000 hours in this game still gets hit with the bear traps makes me feel better about getting hit by every single one of them

Awesome close-up of Waifu at the beginning. Hoping for more in the future! Great vid.

I really hope we'll soon see more short video like this or last video about re4 remake instead of raw live footage

Nice I was just looking for a re4 remake vid from you

11:30 *Ashley gets nailed in the head* Leon: "Pussy!"

pro tipp ashley dosent get flashed if she wears sunglasses

"Can you shoot a grenade" Yes, they're called grenade cartridges and you shoot them out of grenade launchers. That being said, RE4 (both versions of them) is one of the oddball RE games to not have a grenade launcher. I guess the Mine-Thrower and Bolt Thrower kind of fill those roles.

the bell thing god it was so funny watching u go crazy in the stream over this

Hey Waifu, did you know you can skip the village with shooting the bell??

“7 Bullets, 7 Bullets is all I can spare to waste on you…”

Pro gamer tech: drop an iron ball in the clock tower and immediately jump down and pull the level to start the lift, ball kills the first Red Zealot. Pro gamer tech 2: You can kinda see Regenerator's Plagas without the scope, at least ones on their front. Those lumps *usually* are where they are

21:27 Wait... Why didn't you just crouch beneath the wire? x) Really cool video! It's always great to see people do challenges like that. I've recently finished a No Damage with Knife/Pistol only run at it was very fun to do. Although that "no damage" part was pretty hard in some of the sections, especially annoying arm-grab move in the very last Krauser fight (for which I found no reliable way of dodging other than just running away from him, which is very problematic when fighting him with a knife). Cheers for all the challengers and good luck with your runs!

If Remake 4 was “it’s own game” it would have been an achievement… but thankfully the Waterroom end section exists, let there be “minimalist”!

For the water hall section you can equip Ashley with the sun glasses to negate the flashbangs effect

holyshit dude these runs just get better and better

On the lift section I discovered that you can kill the Red Zealot instantly if you pull the lever that drops the big iron ball down the stairs and hurry to the lift as fast as you can.

15:29 I think it has to do with what animation the garradors are doing, like when they're low health I'm pretty sure they act more "suspicious" of you, and it makes it nearly impossible to special knife their backs

3:33 bear traps do 0 damage. Even on professional. They do however damage your armor. Yknow the vest. That is on your chest. Not your ankle. Where you lose blood. Despite 0 damage.

Important distinction here. You can shoot a grenade. It just has to come from a grenade launcher. if you are using the grenade the old fashioned way, they are fine. just for people to note for future grenade runs so that they don't go running for the nearest grenade launcher in their favorite game

"Can you beat Resident Evil 4 Remake without shooting YOUR OWN guns?" - Yes, yes you can.

Well knowing the fact that knife now is supa strong everything is possible.

Damn you beat me to this challenge, so far i managed to get all the way to water hall while only using the pistol for gong sections, no speedrun skips and on standard (and i passed waterhall only using 2 grenades and a few flashbangs) i do have a decent amount of it included excluding the start of the game so if you wanna check it out i can give you some of the clips :) (ps climbing ladders is how you avoid explosives in mendez)

And I was just about to eat😂, this came in clutch

Utter insanity. Well done.

Waifu: I finished the game only shooting seven times. Me, looking at my 4584 shot count after killing saddler: .... uh.. same..

"How's the American agent situation going?" "Hes running through our men like a madman!" "Alright I'll deal with hi-" *"He isn't using any guns!"*

I’ve been waiting for someone to speed run this knife only either you or Dante

I love how subtlety based Waifu is

What do you think, is there any chance that we will get coop mercenaries? I couldnt imagine anything more fun! RE5 Mercs on couch coop back then was my favorite!

Well done !

I feel bad for unintentionally being one of the people to spam the bell trick in the first video sorry Waifu, love the videos by the way thanks for being so quick in the remake

There's a second golden egg in the throne room. You could probably cancel Salazar in two hits with both.

There is another golden egg in Castle, Throne room, you can kill him instantly.

i would love to see revalations 1 remade as a full on survival horror, no waves of waves of hunters or brightly lit rooms lol

At the elevator, you can kill the red zealot with the spike ball if you pull the level and start the elevator asap!

For that first garrador skip, are you quickly turning using the quick turn key binds or using your mouse to rotate 180°?

Hey, Waifu, there are already a few character replacement mods out there. You think about doing some "Can you beat RE4 Remake as X?" challenges like you did for the OG? I've tried a "The Fourth Survivor" run where I get to play as Hunk and only use knife, MUP, LE5 and the W-870. It was pretty fun!

19:55 You don't need to save the egg on the island, you can sell it to complete the request, there's another in the throne room, the same one you get thrown into the pit in during the cutscene where they're trying to waterboard ashley.

With the re5 remake talk fixing the Uroboros Mkono boss fight that would be amazing

I like calling bull man El Toro. Fits the theme that classic re4 went for

There is a golden egg locked away in Salazars throne room.

The only time I went "knife-only" is during the entire Krauser fight, and I hoarded 4 kitchen knives and had 4 boot knives (+1 in phase 3 fight) and I barely survived with a terrible condition combat knife, that's about it

W game this is the only game I got and beat less than 3 days later usually I would just uninstall it then beat it a year later but since it's such a good game I had to just sit down and play this masterpiece

Did he just say like a good american 😂😂 4:20

It's a shame they're is only one can of oil to steal, but good on you for doing your American duty

few things i noticed. the tripmine you showed in the clip you can crouch under. but you have to tank the rest sadly. body armor helps tho. regenerators you can just stab repeatedly. stab towards the tummy from its right side (or your left) and you should be able to hit 2 of the plagas at the same time. once they break loop behind its back and steb the upper side of its back for the last plaga. its really consistent and quick. if youre behind it it will likely try to swipe you with an armswing wich you can easily parry. the blind guys have QTE behind their back wich does a lot of damage, but the damage to durability ratio is less than stabbing them normally. on NG standard i have to conserve durability because it would take 5 QTE stabs. you can also sneak in a quick stab after the QTE before the second slash (careful about their left claw, it will swipe a bit towards the back, hitting you if you keep stabbing). the explosive barrel in the mendez fight you can kinda dodge by climbing up the ladder, but it has to be timed properly. if youre too late they will hit you while yorue on the ladder, if youre too early he will throw them at the top at the ladder (might get blocked by the beams running acros the ceiling walls). when he goes in for a melee you can kinda get him into an infinite loop if you stand at the right spot on his side. but i never get it. sally bossfight is imo a huge pain (i dont use grenades) but its actually possible to keep looping the knife QTE. tho ive never gone beyond 3 loops. about 7 are required to kill him. im not sure wat exactly triggers the knife QTE over and over again, i usually just try to keep stabbing at his weakpoint as he moves. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt lol.

I would also argue the bolt thrower is allowed because its technically being launched and not fired with gunpowder

For someone with those teeth and that unfortunate face, you'd think he might tiptoe about the british teeth jokes, lmao

I don't count the final rocket launcher myself, since the frugalist achievement in the game (only knifes and handguns) counts this as an exclusion, meaning it doesn't invalidate the run, you should check this achievement progression to see what counrs as an exclusion, I see this run valid enough

Does the clock puzzle change on different difficulties/platforms or something? On all of my runs, the solution has been 7 o'clock.

Nice hardcore or professional next, thank you for uploading your test run tho 🙏

take a shot every time you say arrived at the hardest room in the game xDxD

so for the gold egg on Salazar, there is one in his thrown room. the thing in there that takes the cube and you get one. so you can kill him with the two eggs or use that one and sell the other to get the bounty for it

ive already routed "knife only" the speedrun on NG standard. im excited to see the solutions or ways dis video has to handle certain things. hope i can learn some good stuff, cos the run is quite difficult/inconsistent. but i assume dis video will include grenades and such. lets find out c:

I’m not great at it either but you can avoid being grabbed by enemies if you crouch. I believe it works with broken neck enemies as well.

So basically, this is Guns Activist Mode. Sounds great.

Ashley is immune to flashes if you give her sunglasses.

Hey waifu Incase you didn't know you can skip the first village fight in this game by shooting the churches bell. If your going to Speedrun this game properly you should do this skip to save time.

Do you think re4 remake will have more dlcs? Like added store? Not assignment Ada or mercy’s ect

There is a second golden egg in the castle so you can use those 2 to insta kill Salazar.

The shots you have to fire shall now be named I shall name them "the no gun run killer 7" Or "the killer 7" for short

Waifu Trick for you Make Ashley Wear Glasses and She will immune to Stun of Flash Nades

Waifu, are you gonna do a console tournament anytime? Because I can’t afford a PC unit
