Can You Beat The Last of Us Part 2 With No Kills? 

Update: I now have a proof video showing gameplay for every encounter with other survivors and how I got past them here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--Sz5E8R6gew.html I'm glad this video has blown up so much and people seem to enjoy it since I made it nearly two years ago! I've definitely learned a lot from making this video that I'll use in future challenges (Yes I am currently working on more challenges and listening to feedback from this video to improve those). I can definitely see now why some people disagree with me counting a few of these kills in my definition of what counts as a kill, but it sucks that there isn't a more objective way such as stats like in the first game (though spoiler: if you want to completely eliminate QTE kills it would still require 2 kills to beat the game). Hope you guys enjoyed this one and let me know what games you'd like to see me try challenges for in the future! :)

and then ellie turned to the camera and said “we truly are the Last Of Us… 2.” and everyone started clapping

It's depressing seeing videos like this not getting the recognition they deserve.

"Abby killing Joel happens in a cutscene... so it doesnt count" Basically my cope

I like to think that this is somewhat canon, as most encounters can be solved by full stealth without killing enemies.

My jaw dropped when you said it took you 5 hours to complete the school section. You're VERY dedicated. Good on ya :) Also, I'd argue that the Mel kill isn't on you/the player. The quick time event is ONLY for overpowering Mel. The stab happens in a regular animation. Jordan counts cuz you actually press the button to kill him. For Mel, the quick time event stops after Ellie gets out of her grip.

Killing Mel in QuickTime does add one. Two actually, she was pregnant

The elementary school is a nightmare on grounded difficulty. I'm in awe of how you could get past it without any kills.

You really became the last of us part 2

Man, I forgot how harrowing this story is. That fight at the end - both Ellie and Abby being SO worn down - and the scene that follows just left me so empty inside. Loved the vid tho

I'd argue that the QTEs aren't player controlled and therefore don't count. The characters force you to perform a certain action. That is not something you choose, therefore you did not actually kill them. The character did. Also, we don't KNOW that Jesse's assailant is dead... he could just be lying on the ground, very much hurt lol XD

This dude went through the same exact level for 5 hours straight like its nothing

and there goes the dumb " they make you kill hundreds of people and then you stop at the last one" argument haters used to say the game was shit

Eastwood elementary was the hardest part of the game on Grounded for me. To do that with no kills…. On grounded. I can only tip my hat and say “Sir, I believe you are a masochist, but well done”!

I replay this game on grounded here and there. That alone is hard enough, hats off to you for making it even more challenging lol

Dude this is incredible! Especially considering killing is such a massive part of the game and its story, kinda, this is really impressive. Great video

Interesting how Ellie has to kill more people than Abby (at least the ones the player can control)

This actually sounds pretty fun I might do it. Make me feel a lot better instead of the guilt and shame I felt through my first play through. Also wanna play the story again. I loved it.

Wow great vid man! Very informative and must have taken so many hours to complete! Hope this blows up!!

Yusss excellent challenge video! Bro ellie day 1 looked like a hell of a way to start the no kills run. Good on your for sticking through that

I was actually just considering the viability of a pacifist run of the first game, seeing how many times areas can be completed by sneaking past enemies.

I dont think force kills counts. Kills should only count when you have alternative to progress

So interesting kind of gameplay rules , i was in love with" i am alive" a game where u could only make disuasion with empty ammo sometimes

Amazing video! Love your narration style!

Great work dude, I was curious about this as it felt like the game sometimes was funneling me towards killing with the blocked doors at the ends of sections.

Excellent video! Not only entertaining but a learning tool for developers and gamers alike.

This is absolutely superb 👏👏👏 great work 🙌🙌 Deserves way more views

I would love to see a more detailed version of this kind of challenge in future, I think this was a really cool idea for a challenge run and I would love to know more about how you did it.

holy shit man, good job. cant imagine actually trying this

Such an underrated channel, needs more recognition

Awesome work 👌🏻👏🏻 great video !

Great video!! This was super fun to watch! Have you done this with part 1 yet? I would love to see that!

That's an impressive number considering how easy it is to just be a murder hobo in this game. Congrats on the play through!

The minute you said after 5 hours i got past. I subbed no way that’s going unnoticed

You deserve more subs these videos are very well made

Nice and underrated video. Really need more views!!

Great video dude, so entertaining and informative. For the school section perhaps smoke bombs would work better too? Keep up the great work! I've subscribed for sure!

You can technically shoot a human's leg grab them and let a clicker eat them. As the clicker would be the one killing them.

Good job man continue the good job

No hate but you should leave more parts to the video. I was really looking forward to see you doing the gas station encounter. Had quite a struggle of my own :D

I absolutely love this dude!! You deserve soo much more recognition, underrated af! Do you think you'd post anymore in the future?

Your video was recommend by RU-vid. I love it.

Honestly this was so fascinating good on you and your dedication

Jesus. Impressive work!

Ah yes, the ludonarrative resonance playthrough

Severely underviewed channel

I did this and also got down to 6 kills minimum, plus 1 dog (sorry Alice) and plus 6 in cutscenes, however I have different criteria about who you technically kill. Realistically the true total is 13 kills. It’s also mentioned that Ellie kills a few Hunters on her way to Seattle and Santa Barbara if you want to include them

The one thing I loved about cyberpunk is the choice you are given to kill or just incapacitate your enemies

THIS VID IS SO WELL MADE HOW R U NOT FAMOUS

I completely forgot about smoke bombs. I don't think I crafted any throughout my 33 hours playing. I just wanted to make the boom booms

Your Nora justification is really pushing it 😂

So underrated man

this was cool!!!! good job

i was just thinking the exact same thing a few days ago. great that theres a video on it. also, this isnt underated, its a masterpiece, earned a sub, and i dont sub often

Man really said “what if we gave everyone the Abby treatment”

I thought the beginning was going to be edited into: "I'm going to find and kill *none* of them"

miss u king

Mel just shooting the fuckin truck at 9:35 is pricless... not once but twice

So does that make the total kills between them technically 12 including cutscenes (and Nora offscreen)? Then you have to wonder how many Seraphites Abby killed before Ellie got to Seattle and how many people Ellie may have killed on her way there. She has a journal entry about a few hunters she took out, so a couple at least.

good job big man

I’m currently almost finished with the game, but when I decide to play again I will take one this challenge…or perhaps with another game like plague tale

Thanks

Impressive!

You spend 5 hours on one level to avoid killing anyone, I spend 5 hours on one level because I suck. We are not the same.

this is so funny bc it felt like an abby vlog for a second after abby day 2

11:33 You could have turned on "Allie's don't get grabbed" in settings

The dog should count as at least 100 humans so you killed at least 106 humans.

do more tlou2 content bro it slaps

I can not belive you can just smoke bomb your way through the rattler base. That part took me so long. Even with game play modifiers like the slow mo aiming

Never noticed Ellie’s first human kill in Seattle is jordan

If scripted events when you have control that force you to kill are counted, then the non controlled parts count too as they are also scripted.

The video was very entertaining but the amount of time this probably took you to complete this video compelled me to give you a like. Thank you for your sacrifice😁 PS: Shouldn't Mel's baby should count as 2 kills?

Cool Video! 🏆

this is impressive

This video makes me think of Nerbit - if he quit caffeine, got some therapy and stopped playing the same 4 games on repeat.

Here one year late! Great video, you just got a new subscriber :) Hope you get back into making videos, I would love to see more of you!

How many kills do the companions get overall during this? It would be interesting to see numbers of most kills possible vs the least possible

I feel like this is more of a "Can you beat The Last of Us part 2 MORALLY" 😂

I never thought about it. But I guess Elle could’ve just beat Nora senseless & left her down there to become infected. 🤔

wow... this is really under rated.

oh wow this better blow up

ur sooo underrated

Impressive

Whats funny is that between cutscenes the six kills mentioned and all the kills you participate in because your actions contributed to death dozens will die anyway. So all in all its an academic exercise

The rat king still gives me nightmares to this day. Took me way to long to beat it. 😂

You should try to do the last of us part1 with bow only

Cool vid

Easy question yes if video come out then yes

Can't wait till this is on pc and someone mods it were we can kill Abby in the end, if you want

At least it makes the ending make a little more sense

thsi video needs more views

finally, a video that doesn't start with: The Last of Us 2 Is bad". Thank you.

I saw a vid on this on the first one and loved it and this was very well done 😂 did you get the idea from Dante ravioli on the first game?

This is definitive! Thanks! ...but, what about the WLF dude that jumps on your horse just before 13:24? What are your thoughts on him?

I spend most of my game time stealthing everything because I’m so bad at shooting lol

impressive

I sprinted through all the Abby sections of the game too, not as a challenge, just because I had no interest in playing as her.

Best game ever made.

at the beginning of abby day 2 did you try a bottle/brick to lure them away?

loved it
