Can You Beat The Last of Us Part 2 Without Scavenging? 

Thanks that means a lot! Big fan of your videos!

@@epiccakesgaming Hello 👋, A video suggestion The Last of us Part 2 (What a perfect game) But you have to kill as many enemies as possible in Challenge Example: Perception of enemies Punitive, Help from allies Survivor, But the However is that you can Activate the Cheat or Ammo Cheat or Infinite Crafting

@@epiccakesgaming Example: You chose crafting You can craft two things for maximum capacity example No Cheating: Stun Bomb 4/6 With Cheating Enabled: 6/6. But in the Ammo Question you (You) have to choose which side of weapons you want to leave fully loaded example

@@epiccakesgaming Shotgun, Left Side Bolt Rifle - 9m Pistol, 3.8 Revolver (I think it's "3.8" But I nickname Joel's Revolver) Then you choose a side of Weapons you want to leave loaded. A warning!!!(A Rule)If you choose Cheat or Cheat as Prefer Infinite Ammo if you choose Reload the left side of Weapons you can only choose 2 to be fully reloaded.(Editado) Hi Me from Brazil

Thanks! I went from normal to grounded as well and it’s a big learning curve, but once you know the game well enough and are used to it, grounded makes it a lot more immersive and fun imo.

@@epiccakesgaming I agree. Grounded is the way to play these games. I'm not generally into hard games.. but these game shine in that difficulty mode.

@@dustinf11 I’m personally a hard + veteran type of guy lol a nice challenge but not frustrating

@@makhibarber7213 Truly. If you approach grounded with some intelligence and planning it's very doable. Stealth is key. I actually finish part 1 and part 2 with a full inventory, every supply and every bomb/Molotov. Next play through I'll actually start using them.

@@dustinf11 that’s probably the difference I hate leaving Enemies alive I prefer to leave a trail of bodies in my wake 😭

Thanks! And yes I do enjoy suffering through these challenges lmao

Shoot! I shoulda thought of this so I could get down to 0 pick ups.

Lol I probably meant to say “avoid getting HIT by the runners” but that’s definitely a funny clip to use there

I believe this is different depending on the difficulty. I don’t remember the exact difficulty where it changes to less ammo for this sequence, but playing on Survivor/grounded gives you 9 and 3 bullets while playing on light gives you 18 and 6.

@@epiccakesgaming oh yeah i totally forgot about that i’m pretty sure i was playing on moderate or hard!

I think because its about if you can finish the game without picking anything up and even though, maybe, he couldn't do it personally, the clip he showed proves that you can kill the bloater without picking anything up. Atleast that's how I interpreted it.

@@neatznotso7424 that’s exactly it. I personally wasn’t able to do it (after about 5 hours of trying) but theoretically it’s possible because someone else did it with a knife only. The bricks help, but you can kill the runners without bricks so technically it should be possible, I just lack the skill to do it myself lol.

​@@epiccakesgamingshould've added to the count if you couldn't do it bc it's your play through

@@epiccakesgaming wait so you cheated?

Yeah, I always stab the guy.

That’s an interesting point. I could’ve saved that bullet and used it for the bloater later on, but ultimately I think it doesn’t change the playthrough much since I ended Ellie’s half with 0 item pickups.

My advice is just to focus on attack patterns with visual and audio cues. For example runners have a few attacks where they’ll swing like 3 times so it’s just a matter of knowing the timing and dodging them. Sometimes they’ll lunge at you which can be hard to anticipate but really the key is just patience and being used to their attacks. Same with brute characters: they’re pretty predictable if you dodge just after their backswing and you can hear them winding up for a hit or a grab. Dodging can be tough on higher difficulties and sometimes you get unlucky but my best advice is just really focus on the same patterns and listen closely to audio cues for when an enemy will attack.

Runs really good on the normal ps4 and pro bc that’s what it came out on

IIRC digital foundry did a test with tlou2 on ps5 I’d recommend you watch it, it’s pretty in depth with the frame rate and loading time improvements.

It’ll be glitchy if you play it on ps5 but you can update it so

This is good to know! I remember spending so long on that part and couldn’t find much info on how to kill the rat king more effectively at the time (honestly don’t remember if I knew that about the flamethrower). Do you have a recording of doing this with 1 less rifle bullet? If so I’d definitely be interested to see it!

It's all music from The Last of Us Part II score. I believe the tracks used were All Gone (The Promise), Allowed to be Happy, Beyond Desolation, It Can't Last (Home), The Last of Us Part II and Unbroken.

@@epiccakesgaming thx

I’m back and finally uploaded again :)

I am back!

@@epiccakesgaming good!!!

You actually need to pick up the code sheet to continue from the first area since picking it up allows you to interact with the gate keypad in the first area. Without it I don’t think a button prompt appears to enter that gate code.

I didn’t. It made some parts more annoying, but I’d often just rely on stealth/avoiding scenarios where I would take damage. Also there’s a few moments in the game where it gives you back full health after longer cutscenes so that helped too. It’s surprisingly easy to just not heal at all but a big part of that is because this was like my 5th or 6th playthrough so even on grounded I already had a strategy for every level.

@@epiccakesgaming props to u man I can’t even get past sum parts on hard couldn’t imagine on grounded

Hello I am still alive, just been busy. I do intend to make more videos in the future when the right idea pops up though!

@@epiccakesgaming bet don't be afraid to branch out to different games and genres

@@epiccakesgaming YES

No. You can miss out on weapons by not looting and you can get weapons early by interacting with the world. That's impressive for a linear story based game. (Also just say shit who cares)
