How To Beat The DEATH GAME In "Stay Alive" 

Have a good damn day!!!!! (Broke the sound barrier)

The wildest thing about this game is that five people can play an FPS on the same screen

The most terrifying part of this concept is 5 player split screen

Imagine if a speedruner plays this game and Elizabeth is trying to kill him and he is just glitching trough walls and after easily killing her with glitches restarting the game because he didn’t beat his best time.

I love this movie. I would call it a guilty pleasure but I feel no guilt watching it. It's just a pleasure filled with nostalgia.

Also I love how this guy talks about how the characters should be prepared for an unstoppable unimaginable supernatural horror

Imagine being apart of that friend group and right when it gets to the part where you have to read the words of the book, your mic dies and your connection is so bad, you can't even play together. Congrats, you got saved due to a busted ass headset and comcast style internet

He didn't "find" the crowbar. Swink dropped it from his inventory and it appeared on the staircase in front of hutch.

In Romania(at least the region where my family comes from) rose thorns are actually used to ward off strigoi(OG vampires). So that's probably where the movie got the rose idea from, cool detail :)

I remember watching this movie when I was a kid, thankfully you covered this because I remember being mad at their decisions

This is a bit off topic, but a number of historians believe Elizabeth Bathory was not a murderer and there's significant evidence toward that conclusion. What she did was bring in sick people, especially girls, to her castle, making it a hospital. However illness + medicine in that time = a lot of dead people. This wouldn't have been a problem, except she was an extremely powerful person, politically speaking, and a widow who refused to remarry. To give you an example of how much sway she had, reportedly she was owed a significant debt by the king of Hungary at the time. As such, there were a lot of nobles who wanted her out of the picture, so they took advantage of the people dying in her castle(who were, y'know, sick peasants she was trying to care for) and whipped up those accusations and stories to destroy her. And remember that debt from the king I mentioned? Well, obviously you don't need to pay a debt to a virgin-killing blood-bathing monster, so there was vested interest in declaring her guilty.

This is one of those horror movies that sticks with you. I will likely always remember this movie. I saw it once a long time ago when I was a kid, and rewatched it a few years ago. One hell of a movie with a unique enough concept to where you'll think of this movie occasionally.

Being a fan of Stay Alive since I was young, I was really excited for Choose or Die. Needless to say, I was severely let down.

Saw this moving in theaters. When we watched those two talk through the door and the rumbling started, we all were shouting for him to give Abby a rose, one guy yelling "Give her a fucking rose!" We cheered when he handed her one finally.

I'm a Resident Evil fan and I came across Elizabeth Bathory while searching up Lady D. She was a noble and was said to kill maidens and bathe in their blood to remain young forever. Nice touch.

I absolutely LOVE this movie! Went to the theater, bought the DVD and everything. Showed it to my husband...I could HEAR his eye rolls through the entire movie; ngl, kinda broke my heart a little.

Haven't figured out how Swink survived, he fell into a rose bush which you expect would protect him but it was a game over 🤔

People who are confused as to why when they killed the Main Ghost They kept getting hurt. The Ghost in the game was just a player so to speak just like the group, the game itself is the demonic spirit, the ghost in the game is sort of like a puppet just being used to lure people in as the 'main challenge' when it's the actual game that's a ghost/demon.

you live, thats how.

16:39 glad to see my small country Slovakia here. Bathory is a famous tale here. I remember I was scared of her from time I saw that story in a book.

Cinema summary: the man also was breathing when he was opening the refrigerator but had no idea 5 people will die

I honestly loved this film 😂 it’s a little gem.

I remember watching this movie a bunch as a kid, I was trying to understand how the game could even work. Like the mechanics it would have, but I came to the conclusion that it would not be a very good game, unless you go the meta route, and have it be a game inside a game.

Frankie Munez from Malcolm in the Middle plays Swink, the guy with the goofy hat, in this movie... Damn this is nostalgic.

Hey, at least the title for this is straightforward. It's telling you exactly what you need to do.

Damn....I remember watching this YEARS ago...this was definitely an amazing concept for a movie back in the day

This movie has been living I my brain for years, just without the title, thank you for making a video on it, because you have helped me so much LMAO

Man this one brings back memories. Thought it was scary as fuck and the concept was great for a gamer kid like myself

This video game is basically like a shadow game from Yu-Gi-Oh. A lot of risk but maybe a big reward if you beat the game but we really don't know if there is a reward if you beat the game. Like maybe if you beat the game It'll grant you one wish. That would be really cool.

"I thought you were dead" Swink kicking open the door: "My death was greatly exaggerated."

It’s just so strange to watch this guy explain how he would tell everyone a haunted video game killed people

I have started asking myself: *"Would this be something that would put me on a How to Beat episode on how I fucked up?"* before doing something.

The comment section of How to Beat videos always has the best vibes tbh. No arguing, no hate speech- just people pumped about how to be smarter in horror movies!!

"If you were playing a deadly video game that caused you to die in real life, what would you do?" Die

Those pictures in the lineup at 1:19 were surprisingly clear and crisp and bright. If you zoomed in you could tell every person's eye colour. I just found it fascinating cause I generally have a hard time spotting people's eye colours but they stuck out so much in those pics.

I don't think everyone's going to die with the game's full release. With Elizabeth gone, they really should just find an empty game that gets 0/10 for having nothing for players to do. Also, Hutch is still on the hook for everyone's murders, isn't he? Where the heck is the detective now? He should be PISSED.

I can’t believe you did a video on this movie 😭 I seen it when I was like 7 and was obsessed but I haven’t met a single other person who’s seen it or even heard of it n I’m 22 now

This movie freaked me out when I was younger.

This use to be the scariest movie for me growing up. Love it

Not to be that guy but at the beginning you say someone should be able to see he died the exact same way he did in the game, but the power was cut so the game wasn’t left on

1)Grab a hammer 2)Destroy the disc 3)If she supernaturally runs the game with or without an emulator, destroy the computer too 4)Everyone else is saved 5)The end

Bro 5 people in split screen and one online?! Nice!

To be real. I would do just that. Like, that was my thought. I was like "Huh, hates mirrors, don't like roses....Alright, time to cover myself with as much reflective plastic as possible and just literally carry around like, 3 bouquets of roses."

I definitely like how these videos are done now because the host/channel creator explains everything at a slower pace instead of rushing thru.

after I heard "but now the game has been released into stores" I was like oh na now a lot of people are going to die and she's going to come back for them most likely since she has broken the game rules multiple times

Wow watching this movie so many times I never realized there were so many ways to beat the game and actually stay alive lol

I like hoe they say vampire weakness is "stabbing them through the heart with an wooden stake" like, isn't this everyone's weakness?

I wouldn’t break or do anything with the CD, because that’s how you either release all the ghosts or transport into the game yourself. Saved you bro.

Elizabeth Bathory,while she was probably abusive to staff and the people, she was no worse than a lot of other nobles of the time. A lot of what we know about her evil deeds was obtained through horrific forms of torture ordered by the King who had every reason to have her out of the way so he wouldn’t have to pay off his debts to her.

This movie made me so happy on release because it name-dropped Silent Hill (a whole month before the SH film was released, back when it was very niche in the west in particular). They mention that you beat the final boss of SH4 by ammo dumping before the fight and then using the hyper blaster on it. It's completely wrong, you have to collect 7 spears around the arena and use them in a specific way to make the boss vulnerable . But the thing is, the gibberish shows they know the Silent Hill games. In SH1 a strategy in the final boss involves ammo dumping to instantly win, and there's an item in SH1 called the hyper blaster which requires a previous UFO ending save (or a plug-in light gun) to unlock. The hyper blaster is an unlockable, so it isn't something you'd know about just from casually playing the game one time. Back then we didn't have massive wikis, just forums and gameFAQs so you couldn't just google things and get easy and decisive answers, especially since it was the Team Silent era and they deliberately stayed pretty mum even in Japanese, but because they weren't fluent in English it was very hard to find behind-the-scenes info. Generally the best you could hope for were fan translations, although there were a few exceptions. Even inside the community people didn't know all the easter eggs or tricks or how to unlock everything, and something like the SH1 ammo dumping strategy was something you needed to be a pretty big fan of at least the first game to know. I still remember people debating how exactly you trigger the katana unlock in SH1 in 2004. That's because it's not something that is easy and logical to decipher: basically you need to have two finished game files on one memory card with one save that has the good or good + ending and then one that's either bad or bad +. It took the community years working together to fully understand how it unlocked. It was a small community, so it took much longer than it would have in a big community like Resident Evil had at the time. Considering the movie was in production before the SH movie, and that they knew those little somewhat obscure details of the games in a time where they weren't super easy to find means someone working on this thing knew and loved the series. I firmly believe that the reason they gave a gibberish answer that was nothing but an easter egg for SH fans instead of the correct strategy is that SH4 was the most recent release in the series at the time and they didn't want to spoil the actual final boss by giving away the strategy. Very cool of them, definitely earned my eternal love for this dumb film.

i've seen enough SAO (sword art online) to know what to do, stay near the protag at all times and help them so you don't become a side character and die.

This movie was my introduction to horror movies, and its so cool seeing how to beat covering

The fact this is the first and only horror movie Buena Vista aka Disney has ever made I'm not kidding yet Disney and MCU/Feige didnt let original director make Multiverse of Madness straight up pure horror is biggest let down. "Rated R!"-fan at comic con "its going to be pg13 and you are going to love it"-Feige

This movie is one of my biggest guilty pleasures, I remember when I first saw it when I was younger I really wanted to play the game (still kinda do) also I have the DVD and I love seeing everyone's reaction when I show them the movie and the crowbar scene pops up

Raise your hand if you hear his voice narrating and critiquing your every move whenever you go about your insignificant daily life decisions 🙋‍♀

You would probably make more money being a detective than solving Scooby Doo mysteries on movies 💀

I would LOVE to play this as a video game,but only if it doesn't kill me in real life,lol

This was my favorite movie, when I was a kid I used to be so scared to play any horror games just because of this movie

Stay alive was the first horror movie I watched as a kid

If Elizabeth Bathory is after them, this is the only time in horror movies when you are lucky, if you're not a virgin. I'm surprised that the creators of this movie even know that story.

how to beat "stay alive": grow a rose hedge around your house and/or always have a bouquet of roses on your night stand.

Just imagine dying how you would in a game. I’ve died in every type of way in so many games.lol Such an underrated movie.

"if the world was ending and u have nothing to do what would u do?"thats a good question how to beat

what i can appreciate about this movie is that they had unique locations in the second half. i really enjoyed the older european architecture.

Solution: don’t play the game

The way i see it is like a online game where you can’t pause but still go to the menu. So you can still die if you’re standing out in the open.

Elizabeth Bathory also seems to be inspiration for The Countess in Diablo 2. She bathed in the blood of virgins and was buried alive in her tower's cellar.

Tbh october died a honorable death trying to fight back R.I.P October

I love this movie. I have the unrated version on dvd. I would LOVE to play the actual game though if it existed. That would be so fun.

certified mr beast challenge moment "Today I took 5 PEOPLE and told them to compete in this video game, but if you die, you die in REAL LIFE!!"

I´m from Slovakia and I heard about her in some old Slovak legend. In that legend she was killing young girls for their blood to bathe in it to become younger... The creepiest legend I´ve ever heard.

Ngl, I loved this movie ever since I first saw it, and I always hoped they would make a second one😂

This video is really confusing as it acknowledges the game cheats and can kill you even if you aren't playing, yet it repeatedly suggests the players should have destroyed the disc after they had already started playing. In all likelihood, doing that would have got them all killed. Not turning the game back on would be one thing as you could then wait and see what happens, but flat-out breaking the game could destroy your only chance of surviving. It's a terrible idea.

Everyone: humans How to beat: important material

How I would beat this game. First that isn't the Countess Bathory. while the crimes of Elizabeth Bathory are famous, they were likely made up to get her killed. As she was a wealthy woman owning her own property in the 15oos. There have been theories that she was actually running a hospital rather than upright murdering people. Since she probably wasn't a murderer, and she doesn't look like her game counterpart... I would assume this ghost is not Elizabeth Bathory, maybe a ghost or demon pretending to be her, or a product of the game. and while I would definitely be more tempted to try and beat the game by playing it, there's no guarantee that the game has an end state. Since it was only the beta version of the game. Also, the fact that it is so clearly set in the USA makes me wonder if there are different localizations of the game, ones set in other countries. If that were the case, getting other gamers from far away to play the game wouldn't work, because they would have a different version of the game. Potentially just spawning more instances of the ghost elsewhere... If there is only 1 version of thew game, operating on 1 server worldwide, it would be great to give it to other players. Potentially flooding the server as suggested.. or best case scenario, the game map is connected 1-1 with the real world, meaning anyone in other countries are technically not on the map. Maybe you could break the game by escaping the map or something like that... as always, a comment for the algorithm.

I haven’t seen this movie in so long thanks for bringing it back for those who haven’t seen it :)

you know there would be other benefits to there being more players? more people to share strategies with, being able to have more people in a active party could even prevent deaths. (not all of them clearly) people sharing info on what items or builds could be best if its that kind of game. probably even people who would stay back a bit and just be support even. as well as just to many targets for the ghost in the game.

I love how this guys solutions are mostly made with background information that the people in the show dont know

Best movie by far. Still no actual game adeptation

I was a teen gamer myself when this movie came out and it used to scare tf out of me! I remember it so well, such a nostalgic gem!

Thanks for doing this movie! Love your work!! Have a damn good day! ❤️

Bruhh ain't no way I thought this movie was long forgotten this just made my day

Focken love this movie! One of the main reasons I use to be scared of video games as a kid

Even if the police did look at the video game it wouldn’t have made a difference because they wouldn’t have believed a video killed him and his friends. What person would believe that unless they actually played the game.

tbh i think this movie has one of the best story lines in horror movie history

wow never expected to see this movie again...jeez makes me feel old

The easiest way to beat this game is not to play it lol

if she can only kill you in the same way your character died i would admit myself to a metal Institution like clear rivers did while i had my friends kill my character with a gunshot wound to the head

This movie TERRIFIED me in 2006, and still does to this day!

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! I never thought I’d see content about this movie especially not in 2023

Man I remember watching this movie and I actually enjoyed it and when I was much younger it actually gave me nightmares

This movie is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. I don't know if a lot of people like it, but I love it.

The was an unique and good movie and deserves a sequel to where the game somehow made it to steam,VR,and consoles

I’ve been waiting for this video forever

God you've no idea how happy I am to finally know the name of this movie😂

Please do Darkness Falls and Dead Silent how to beat. So glad you did Stay Alive.

First of all how did squeek survive, even though he died in the game? I know he was in a bed of roses but couldn’t the ghost have gotten him when he got out of them? Second of all since the ghost has already been defeated wouldnt the game no longer be haunted?

the background music never gets old

The name of the movie actually already states the way to beat it is to stay alive

What a blast from the past , like this was a vivid memory for me but thought I dreamed it one day
