This Achievement in Alien Isolation Asks for ABSOLUTE Perfection 

I can remember live streaming Isolation and attempted the one shot challenge, only to get killed towards the late game. Absolutely gutted. Best run I ever had.

This man casually grinding an infuriating challenge for seven months while I nearly flip tables when I have to do the comparably tame achievements for more than ten attempts.... Way to go!

This is unironically one of the best breakdowns of Alien's AI and AI in general i've seen from someone not involved in game development. You are amazing. Have a great day!

The motion tracker actually still works. Its just heavily distorted. It will create many false blips that obscure the active blips. The way to tell them apart is that the active blips will have a consistent movement pattern to them. So while the tracker is "broken" its still usable

Honestly I’m so glad Snam adds a voiceover narrative. It’s so much better than splicing random clips from stream together and calling it a day like others do

Bleeping out Ripley cursing then immediately saying the word in all its glory yourself got a big laugh out of me, well done. Can't believe the run is finally complete congrats!

“I don’t feel enthused, I feel at peace” bro, I felt the exact same way

I died on 17 to a face hugger, it's been 8 years and I've still not recovered from that. Soul crushing!

Without having been there for the runs, I keep finding myself forgetting that you aren't just restarting the mission here after these short, wonky, or bullshit deaths, YOURE RESTARTING THE WHOLE GAME, and that involves having to get past every other roll of the dice you mentioned before. Truly iron willed. The God Gamer always delivers.

"The alien is immune to headshots, like a bizarro J.F.K." And with that, you earned my sub. That's some next-tier fuckery and I love it.

editing a 7 month grind into 44 minutes is an insane feat, bc it didnt even feel like 44 minutes went by! good job editors! Snam beating this felt like a Win for everyone that stream

The fact you are able to keep a cool head and smile after MANY attempts and hours of play time is amazing in itself.

As one of those responsible for asking you to try for this trophy, it’s amazing to finally see the video. Congrats on completing it in the hardest way possible. Nightmare permadeth is something I will be staying away from….lol

The ship you wake up on in the beginning is in fact the Torrens, and is the same ship you attempt to contact theoughout the game and return to at the end. The Aneisadora is the ship belogning to Marlow and his salvage team, that found the Nostromo flight recorder and then found the crashed alien ship

God this is one of the greatest horror games ever made man, the things I would do for a sequel

"The stupid part, the dumb part, the stupid dumb bullsh!t part... and the science lab".

We all know this is the hardest achievement he's ever gone for. So far

Through months of perfecting every small detail of the game, memorization, timing, execution, and still being able to improvise in tight situations when everything inevitably goes wrong, the runs become a true ballet of beauty. You start making it to the late game more often, all the while the game not getting any easier, but rather you become better and better at narrowly avoiding death at every turn. Even then, no mission is ever guaranteed, which is actually wild. The late game deaths hurt more and more as you feel "so close, but yet so far away", and are set back hours and hours just to die earlier in the game a couple times, not making it back to your PB for possibly several more grueling runs. The game is unrelentingly difficult, even when you know it like the back of your hand. I love how you felt so at peace when you finally beat it! You earned it. Congratulations Sir Snam. Truly, congratulations.

The way you handle losing hours of progress is commendable. I can’t fathom having that kind of patience.

the "quit before dying" strat I used a lot in Demon's Souls PS5. I liked to call it the "Return by Death Exploit" named after the Return by Death phenomenon from ReZero

PEAK has arrived, super proud of you for sticking with this challenge for as long as you did!

This was my favourite game for 3 years running, my proudest plat trophy, even over all the soulsborne plats I have. They caught lightning in a jar with this one.

This man is the GOAT! Doing the challenges Legally and WITH EXTRAS! This content is the GOLD among achievement hunters

"The alien is resistant to bullets and headshots like a bizarro JFK" lmfao all right that's worthy of a sub right there

Loved the editing in this video. It's subtle, but really ties everything together and compliments the narrative perfectly. That transition at 1:42 was _smooth_ - it feels super dynamic and puts us right into the action, making us feel engaged in the story from the very beginning. And the story telling slapped too! It had great build up, some really funny and fascinating twists and an *awesome* pay off. Everything from 38:57 onward had me on the edge of my seat! You can tell how much care and effort went into this video, and how proud you are of this run (as you should be). Definitely my favorite one on the channel so far.

it's been 84 years.... and I'm so excited for this video

I love you... I swear i happened to come across your content as a suggestion and have already binged 3 complete runs in a sitting !!!! Keep putting out content... You brought a wide smile on my face. THANK YOU

great job Snam, whole episode kept me on the edge of my seat. can't believe the level of commitment and skill it must've taken. congrats

7 months of attempting this is absolutely insane! The longest I ever spent on an achievement was about 2 months for Pantheon 5 in HK. You have inspired me to pick up this game though. I'll start on Hard and see from there if I'm up for this torture.

I know many people say this but its TRUE. Your videos are incredibly gripping and I never find myself bored or checking out during them! For an entire 40 minutes! I also love your choice of music to play in the background :) as a big hollow knight fan, im always happy to hear the greenpath theme Love your videos man! Keep doing these horrid challenges so the rest of us don't have to

Congratulations for the achievement! Is really impressive how you remain so happy despite all the failed attempts ahaha. Your chat is great! Also, huge props to your editor. Don't know how hard it must have been edit this 7 months video. 🔥

i gotta say, this is by far my favorite video that you've put out. not only do i simply love this game i love the dedication and patience that it took you to complete this!!! it was really a joy to watch

While i personally would never do these types of challenge runs it is always super interesting to see dedicated people find new ways and strats to get through difficult parts without abusing glitches and stuff. Props to you for finishing this!

It's finally here, mate I've been SO excited for this upload. You're insane.

Hey man, this is the first video of yours I’ve watched, and honestly its super refreshing to watch someone fail over and over and still have a smile on their face. Thanks for being so positive and happy! It makes you so easy to watch, even during a ultra stressful game like A:I.

This is by far my favourite video of yours so far Snam, amazing job 😊

snam!! so cool to see this result of all your hard work!! getting to see the entire journey was such a treat :-) great vid as always!!

Gg Snam! All that hard work paid off glad i was able to witness that journey of yours in the live streams

Dude, I give you so much kudos for completing this on the hardest difficulty. But I also give you kudos for using the Resident Evil Raid Mode theme, it brings back so many memories, specifically RE Revelations 2. 😊

Love your humor throughout and fantastic editing. Subbed. Cheers to many more achievements.

15:20 deceive and desert you 15:25 relieve and comfort you

Outrageous challenge. Nightmares in real life to accompany nightmare mode in game.

I don't really watch streams live ever, but I absolutely love these videos! I can't relate at all with putting yourself through all these challenges, but I'm so glad there's someone out there who does it with a smile and is really entertaining.

You are super dedicated, and this was a very crazy thing to accomplish. Can't even imagine doing it in easy. Good work, man.

I absolutely love the masochistic challenges you set for yourself! It’s always great to watch you smash these goals. I can’t even imagine trying to play this game on Nightmare.. I played on Easy back in the day and still consistently got my butt kicked 😂 Thank you for the great content as always!

This alien insolation runs were the best content i have seen this year ,congrats for the great video Snam all the time and effort that you invest editing was worth it 10/10 ign

Amazing Snam!!! This has got to be one of the best videos you've done up to this day! I got to watch only a few of the streams, however I was hyped for this video for a long long time!!!!

The Anesidora is Marlow’s ship, you start on the Torrens

the RE6 mercenaries music triggers my brain

I remember playing this game for the first time, absolutely terrifying, amazing work as always! :D

I never catch lives, too busy now. But snam, im really glad to see your channel grow. Congrats my dude. RU-vid randomly have me your *first* video when it was new but it was good. Youve obviously studied/worked on your craft from day 1 and even as the only achievement based channel i watch, i could tell you had something special. Happy to see your success and wish for you to have much more in the future.

I was recommended this video and have been binging all your achievement runs for the past two days :) I really love your style of videos and personality. I'm looking forward to any of your upcoming survival horror runs. I don't usually subscribe or comment, however I did both! your content is definitely amazing.

Damn man, this is hella impressive. I remember being super stoked that I got the achievement for beating Chapter 5 without getting killed by the Alien completely on accident, but this is another level. A challenge that demands near literal perfection is perhaps quite fitting for a creature so terrifying, it became known as 'The Perfect Organism". Congratulations!

This may be a weird video to get motivation from but I really do find it inspiring how no matter how hard of a challenge you face when doing these you still try your best to overcome it in some sort of way

First video of yours I've seen and it was incredible. I've started watching all of the older content on your channel now and I'm amazed I've not seen you sooner.

Amazing accomplishment - congrats!! Thanks for giving so much love to one of my all time favorite games!! 😎

Wish they would make a sequel.

Imagine THAT IGN reviewer going through this.

What a legend! Great videos. Love the content. Easily one of the most engaging and funny guys out here on RU-vid.

Yay! Alien Isolation! This is my all time favorite game but damn getting that achievement on Nightmare is waaay beyond what I could manage lol. Well done Snam! I'm gonna go watch the full VOD, now.

I am really enjoying his challenge videos. It's interesting how he walkshrough each game one mission at a time teaching steps without hanging on the 30 times he redid a mission xD

underrrated game, glad to see you playing it even if it was torture

Best video yet Snam! Loved catching your streams of alien isolation.

ive been meaning to come back to this game for years! this has prompted me to do so. really enjoyed, thanks

As a speedrunner, I respect the grind ❤

I was born in 1980. I used to watch films on VHS at my friends when i was young. The thing, aliens, you name it. Aliens was the only film to scare me and i watch literal horror films like freddy kreuger. I would laugh at horror films as a kid. But aliens scared me and I liked that. Only film to ever scare me. My brother bought me this game full price on steam. Knowing full well this story and to this day I have never installed it. XD

Man this video is so engaging! I love these hard achievement runs💪🔥

Great video Snam, that challenge looked brutal!

I gotta ask: how long did it take you to figure out that touching the alien tail was death?

Not you re-awakening my obsession with Alien Isolation close calls 😂

Beautiful work and nicely done brother.

Hoh my goodness, this has been a wonderful video to watch!! Seven months grinding this out, your dedication is amazing! Def subscribing and checking out more of your vids!!

There's waypoints in this game?

You restarted THE WHOLE GAME after each attempt? Noooo don't do that! Learn the levels and start putting it together after you're relatively consistent with them. This way you're great at walking in your undies (not hard) and bad at the actually hard parts in the end (very hard!)

Huge congrats man! I think this is your best so far! You’ve made me want to play this game again (though I’m happy with only being at 90% achievements to avoid this) 😂

Amazing job, so much time and efforts put in this challenge !

Holy hell you are one patient man Snam. But thanks for taking us on the journey. I am going to let my daughter watch some your videos since she tends to give up on a game from the moment it starts to get a tiny bit challenging. Keep up the amazing work.

Dude, you have the patience, tenacity, and aura of a saintly being not of this earth. I would have quit within 20 minutes. This slog you undertook was legendary and you deserve the highest honors for what you went through. And you went through Pure Hell. I can't even believe how long this took you, what ridiculous defeats you suffered, and you laughed and jokes your whole way through it. Ultimate props to you, man! I would have destroyed my gaming system. I'm just not the type of man you are. You are the Herald, the ultimate Achiever, the Christ of Gaming. I can't even believe there is a person on the planet so masochistic as to attempt this insane achievement. And you did it! Damn, man. It was humbling and awesome to watch!!

You have such a nice attitude while you play. This was totally enjoyable. Subscribed.

Kudos on a really well made video. 3rd time I've watched it, love the game, love the video!

Honestly, just for this crazy impressive achievement (and great video), I subscribed

This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and I definitely subscribed. Very entertaining video.

I love your positivity through death in the game. You have my subscription young sir.

Great video. Game too scary for me. I cannot imagine this challenge. 7 months is nuts. Snam is a legend

I have to say that I admire you being able to go thro this brutal challange and being able to smile and laugh to each and every death. Well done sir!

You deserve way more subscribers bro! And as everyone else mentions, I also find myself completely intrigued with you’re videos and not once do I get bored enough to scroll through comments or anything else, which in itself is completely rare for me🤣. You Gained yourself another sub also! Keep up the awesome work man.

I love this channel.so pumped whenever I see a new upload

Oh this was utterly superb, well done. Bringing back all the memories 😅

Amazing! I love Alien: Isolation. One of my favourite games, but even I couldn't have put myself through that torture 🤣 Props to you!

I'm really surprised you don't have more subs. The quality is very high. Good job. Looking forward to see what are you up to

Watching this video was so frustrating because I felt so bad for you the whole time.😂 I can't imagine how frustrated you must have felt at times! Great video and great run(s)!😊

that was a fun story, thank you for the many hours of your work and our entertainment. Great editing too 👌

Snam the GOAT. I love hard video game challenges but I would have a hard time attempting this one. Good stuff!

Man, I admire you dedication, I finished it on hard today and was exhausted from some of games parts

Been anxiously waiting for this! Let's Go!

Love the vid Snam! Shocked you've managed to get it down to only 44 minutes despite how long it took you. Thanks for sharing your pain ;)

Yeeees! Completion! I remember trying to catch the streams back earlier in the year and I'm so excited that you got it done! Thanks for always adding the narrations too, it really adds a lot to the videos 💝

I have watched this multiple times by now since I just love it so much. But every time I remember that something at the beginning is weird and it's you calling the Torrens as Anesadora, Anesidora? Whichever it was. 😂 No doubt it has been pointed out multiple times already. The demonstrations of differences between difficulties were some of my favorite bits, and Axel of course. Either way, absolutely love it and the vods were a joy to watch too! Thank you for playing this!

It’s always a good time when Snam uploads. Keep up the amazing work 👍

9:47 the most understandable and relatable reaction to finding out which room you were at 😭
