Part 2 of my last video. These two stories are overall easier than the hero one, but it's a fun challenge nonetheless. Part 1 • Sonic Adventure 2 But ... Remember to subscribe for more content like this
It's actually possible to beat Knuckles' section of the core without the air necklace, I know this because I never knew the upgrade existed when I first best the game. However, I would never ever reccomeded anyone try it without doing that speedrun strat because it's absolute hell
You can beat cannons core without the air necklace, its just a huge pain in the ass to do. On my first playthrough i missed it in aquatic mine and had to be really fast in the underwater section
Hey, btw you dont need the shovel claws or pick nails. If you die, the emerald shards / keys will change their spawn point, allowing you to not need to dig.
I think using an upgrade consistently to avoid an upgrade kind of defeats the point of rhe challenge, but since the Bazooka would activate every time you shoot you are technically still making the best choice for a minimalist version of a failed challenge run, so I guess it still makes more sense than just grabbing the Bazooka upgrade.
Just a tip for treasure hunting stages, I'm pretty sure if you die you keep the keys/shards/emeralds, while remaining ones switch spots. So in theory, you might not need to dig if I'm remembering correctly, though you would need a lot of lives. The only part of this theory that could be wrong, is I don't know if there's stages where there will always be shards in the ground or walls.
@@The_AuraMaster You need to collect the upgrade to clear those stages, as the stages are hardcoded to always spawn a shard/key underground until you do. After that it'll start letting all three spawn out in the open.
