This Achievement in The Dead Space Remake is VERY Stressful 

I love the idea of Isaac just staring at a necromorph body on the floor for a solid 10-15 seconds before declaring *“ITS GOT CAKE!!!”* and just opening fire on its legs 😂

Got this achievement last night, I can confirm that I’ve lost about 10 years of my life from how stressed I was

That's not controversial at all, the plasma cutter is objectively the best gun in the entire game and by focusing all your nodes on just it and your rig, it becomes an absolute BEAST of a weapon.

For anyone looking to start an Impossible run but anxious about it here are some tips that might help 1)Its 1 life but not exactly 1 save. You're limited to one save slot that you may overwrite as many times as you wish but it is deleted on Isaac's death. So if you wished you could save after every encounter. Just make sure you've got the ammo for it :) 2) Speaking of ammo, kinesis is your friend. Everyone knows that ripping a spike from a necromorph can be used to spear it but there are other ways to deal damage without shooting a weapon. 2a)The fan blades off of vents are still very sharp and when thrown with kinesis can sever the legs if aimed just below the knee. And conveniently every Necromorph that breaks open a vent drops this kneecapper right in front of them ;) 2b) Fire extinguishers are all over the ship and act as small scale explosives if thrown. It's not much damage but enough to stagger an enemy or even blow off a limb of an already weakened enemy 2c) Any physics object you pick up can do small damage when thrown but more importantly they'll stun an enemy for a second giving you a moment to reposition or reload 3)Make the game give you ammo. The game uses the same system as the original in that ammo drops are based on your currently equipped weapons as well as how much you have on hand. So that means if you have an overabundance of plasma cutter ammo the game wont give you any and either give you credits or another ammo type for a different tool that's running low. Anytime you get over 90 plasma cutter ammo throw it in the stores bank and you'll be surprised how much ammo the game starts throwing at you. For reference my Impossible run I ended up using just the Plasma cutter and the force gun. I would store plasma cutter ammo after 90 and force gun ammo after about 45. By chapter 8 my store had about 2 rows of plasma cutter ammo and 3 rows of force gun ammo. Anytime I got a little low I would just dip into the store for a quick refill back to my arbitrary limit. At the final boss I had well over a 200 shots for each gun just sitting in the bank. 4) Health is important, but using a large health pack is a giant waste. There is no overhealing in this game so unless you're health is in the red a medium will do you just as well a large on in the long run. Getting your hp full in this game just means you can take more hits, which if you're trying not to die is something you should be avoiding anyway. So either sell the large pack for credits or store them in the bank to be used for the final boss fight as a get out of jail free card 4b) Dont worry too much about getting your HP to its fullest at any point. Getting to 'green' is usually sufficient Being in green means your HP is at least 80% of its max. The remaining 20% sounds like a lot but really it equates to 1 maybe 2 more hits that you can take depending on your RiG upgrades. At full upgrades you can take about 7 hits at full and when your in green it's about 6. 4c)Upgrades to your RIGs HP will automatically fill your health too. So if youre near a bench and low on health but have the nodes for an HP upgrade do it. This also applies even if you've reset the suits upgrades with credits. So its always an option to reset for 10k and use nodes to get back some but not all the HP upgrades you had previously. This will refill the health bar to full but now with spare nodes and spare full health refills to be used at your discretion 5) Stomp goes hard. About 3 stomps will break a necromorphs legs and about 4 more will kill it without using a single shot. If there is a Stasis recharge nearby abuse this combo to clear the room. Freeze stomp, repeat until the area is clear. 5c) complete the sidequest regarding the Hunters origins. This can only be started after chapter 5 by picking up the tissue sample in cryogenics after freezing the hunter. There will be some backtracking but the reward is an upgrade to stasis that causes it to do damage over time as well as freeze enemies 5d) find the plasma cutter upgrade weighted blades. This gives you a huge chance that Isaac's melee with the plasma cutter will knock a necromorph over. With stasis this seems to be even easier and 1 punch will knock an enemy over 75% of the time making them an easy stomp target 6) Good luck have fun you've got this

“if the body’s got cake, it’s not a mistake” thanks Snam will remember

Plasma cutter only impossible was actually not bad at all. I had like 400 ammo going into the last boss because it's basically the only ammo that drops when it's your only gun. Plus it gets upgraded quick because you only have the suit and plasma cutter to upgrade. Which also means HP, stasis, and kinesis get upgraded quickly as well. Biggest tip is to take your time. When in doubt, use stasis and reposition. Also every dead slasher drops 2 blades that you can throw at enemies to kill them or knock them down.

Neat tip: if the necromorph is alive you won't be able to pull the limbs off it with kinesis

I’m happy that I can look at a trophy like this and go, “yeah I’m good.” Amazing work as always. Well done

I made the mistake of trusting the pulse rifle on a tentacle drag on my impossible run, i was so pissed i looked up a way i could cheese the challenge and i have no regrets abusing it

That Nier OST in the final part hit so hard

Not only does Mercer's stasis last an eternity, it also freezes you completely instead of just slowing you down.

Got the Platinum trophy for this a few days ago. Got the secret ending, too! As a Dead Space fan since the original, I had actually found this channel through your Dead Space 2 video. It’s crazy to see you come full circle throughout the series.

I found that the impossible mode in this game was quite easy actually. I did it at the same time as using only the plasma cutter, and honestly I think that gave me an edge. The Plasma Cutter has an insane DPS and damage in general, as well as when you only use one weapon, you only get ammo for said weapon. So it's super efficient, on top of the ammo being very cheap if you need more. Another important note is that when you only use one weapon, you can upgrade it fully easily, as well as upgrading your RIG fully as well. Which helps a ton.

Snam! Cant believe you only started posting less than a year ago. Your content and narration quality is so high, you'd never guess it. Can't wait to see you at the number of subs you truly deserve. 👍

There's a slight cheat to this "perma death" thingy: if you call out the pause menu quick enough before the game thinks you are dead, you can go back to main menu and reload your impossible save, that is, if you are quick on that escape button

can't imagine turning out this achievement this quickly, let alone doing so while preparing comedy gold with it too

Thank you so much for uploading your videos! I can hardly catch your streams due to timezone differences so I'm always eager to watch whenever you upload something!

It was definitely stressful as all hell, but I didn't actually find it super difficult. If you play carefully and mind where the instant-death traps are, you can get by with quite a few mistakes. Also worth noting playing with only the plasma cutter is actually *easier*, because you only find ammo for weapons you have on you when you kill enemies.

The montage of the final chapter to that awesome music was EPIC

I love that someone else has the same exact passion for achievement hunting as I do. Love your videos Snamwiches ❤️

For my Impossible run, I’ve been doing a simultaneous run on hard and doing parts of each chapter first on hard, and then immediately do the same thing in Impossible. It helps a lot! Edit: During boss fights where they throw the orange glowing balls at you, you can use kinesis to halt them and even throw them at the boss to do extra damage to it Update: Beat the game on Impossible my first try. It’s pretty easy if you use the line gun trap cheese.

You actually made the tethered asteroid part harder because once you shut off all the tethers the blades stop moving. So had you done the interiors first then exteriors it would have been easier

I love your idea of telling em fake corpse's apart frome the real ones by the live ones "having cake" I loved that. Hell I might go for the achievement now only because of your video.

I've been dreading the impossible playthrough because I'm also saving my plasma cutter only playthrough for it as well. Just for the extra stress factor.

You’re absolutely nuts doing these challenges! I gotta give you kudos for getting them done! 🔥🔥

This can be really easy if you stick to using one gun. So I did this run with a Plasma Cutter only which made my pickups pretty much credits, plasma rounds and other loot. You also have more power nodes to upgrade your suit and plasma cutter. You also will have more money as well to invest in health packs and ammo if you're running low. Hope this helps for anyone who is looking to give this a blast :D Also love the video! Keep up the content.

“If there’s cake, it will awake” - Carvings from the Marker

I once thought all upgrades would be the worst achievement, yet I got it on chapter 10 in 2nd playthrough. It’s a huge relief not having to hoard credits for nodes anymore

To anyone looking to try this challenge, abuse stasis the game throws plenty of stasis packs at you and stick to the plasma cutter. Upgrading health, stasis, and ammo capacity with refill whatever you're upgrading.

top tier stuff as always somehow still feels like new content even thoug ive already seen the whole run already, keep up the good work

As soon as I saw this mode in the game I knew you’d be playing it and I stood by ready to see you take on this achievement.

Wow that Nier music hit the nostalgia button hard

Always a pleasure watching your videos. I've been putting off impossible mode because I died a couple times on hard and I don't want to relate blind fury to a game I love so much, lol.

Been following since you had 10-15 thousand subs and it makes me happy to see you growing. Love your videos bro!

i absolutely love your videos, keep it going - great work!

I can vouch that using only the plasma cutter on impossible difficulty isn't too difficult. It allows you to just upgrade your suit and gun and put money towards health, suit upgrades, and the ammo for the plasma cutter. Did this to kill two birds with one stone to get my platinum trophy. I will say it was stressful though 😅

Found which video I'm going to be watching for the next two months

Just coming across your channel from recommended and gotta say, after watching this one vid, love your vids man got a good laugh through the whole thing keep it up brother 🤙 genuinely pretty funny and very informative with your video/story telling

I discovered your channel a few months ago, and I really enjoyed your content. I found Impossible mode quite enjoyable, and only hard in the beginning. Here are a few tips for those trying to get it. -I only used the plasma cutter most of the time and the ripper for a bit. Later I used only the cutter. -keep a second weapon on hand that you don’t use so you can pick up and sell the ammo for money. -you can refill you health by resetting your suit upgrades and putting the nodes back again for 5000 credits. -I don’t know if they patched it, but you can reload the save during the death animation and avoid the permanent death.

Definitely went with the plasma cutter only for my impossible run. Focusing my nodes on it and my suit helped a lot, and making sure I always got ammo for the gun I had upgraded took stress off as well. Plasma Cutter, my true love.

If it has cake it’s awake 😂

Great video as always Snam, it's been so satisfying to watch you grow on not just here but also on Twitch. Hope to meet you up there soon boi!

The dead rising music was nostolgic very beautiful congrats of the trophy

The necromorphs in Dead Space Remake being slower compared to the original Dead Space made the combat far easier. I don’t see them lunge or sprint at you in full speed unlike the original game. Most of them just, rapidly walk towards you instead.

watching you trying to get Isacc to pickup the Stasis canister had me laughing so much. gave you a follow on twitch and a sub here.

As always, love the vids brada! Keep it up. Cant wait for the next one

I think what made this achievement pretty easy for me was the years of playing dead space and also just knowing that the enemies pretty much die if cutting the limbs off as well as using the necromorphs arms against each other lol

it is CRIMINAL that this man doesn't have more subs, these videos are so funny and well edited I though it was from and massive youtuber like dougdoug or smallant

Fun fact, Plasma Cutter only is actually the best way to complete it for multiple reasons. 1: When ammo drops, it'll only be for the weapons you currently have in your inventory, so with just a Plasma Cutter, you'll only get ammo for it. (The only exception is when you can get a new weapon, there will always be a couple drops of ammo near it, which you can just sell for credits) 2: You can upgrade your suit and gun faster cause you only have 2 items to upgrade, which can save a lot of time and money later on. 3: More inventory space to use. Since it's just 1 gun and 1 ammo type, you can have more ammo/health packs/ stasis packs available, and even pick up more conductors before having to sell them. 4: There's also a One Gun achievement, and we all know how fun going for achievements are.

Dead space has always held a very special place in my heart. It wasn't only my first horror game, but my first EVER game. I have mad respect for this run, keep it up bro :)

Never thought "everything is cake" would end up being a useful strategy lol

I got this and the One Gun achievement in the same run. Honestly the "Plasma Cutter only" restriction actually helped more than it hurt. I was flush with ammo for pretty much the entire playthrough and dumped all my nodes into cutter and suit upgrades. Wasn't too bad, really.

Another great video Snam. Keep up the good work!

18:55 ngl you actually got me and i went soooo wide eyed

One hell of a journey with a beautiful montage, think that was Nier music if I'm remembering right, beautiful soundtrack, would actually love to see you do a video for Nier Automata.

"The cake is not a lie"

Another great video. Keep up the good work Snam

2 things: At bossfights, you can throw those yello bombs with telekineses back at the fuckers. Second, if you slow down those vent blades, you can just fly through anytime, even if they hit you nothing will happen.

You can make this less stressful imo by using the line gun secondary fire, putting them on random boxes and stuff, then carrying them around like "lightsabers". It's like a moving safety net that when fully upgraded, completely shreds through necromorphs even on impossible. OR you can just do plasma cutter only because it is a solid gun throughout that has a lot of ammo if you run it solo

I'd almost say the plasma gun only run makes this actually easier because you almost never have to worry about ammo. The only place that's not true is those darn flappy flesh things that grab onto you where you really want the flamethrower. Edit: also NICE use of the Dead Rising mall music.

Yooo! So glad to see your channel blowing up!

Yet another 🔥 upload Been an absolute pleasure watching you whether that be on Twitch or RU-vid

I platinum’d the game this week. I’m in the elite.

Those who got this achievement, I raise my glass to you 🍷During my run, there was many close calls that I nearly bit the dust and had to start all over again. The regenerating necromorph The Hunter was my biggest concern as you know, you can't kill it before Chapter 11.

I love the positivity you put through the whole stream heck even in this video.. all smile even thought stressfull might come right next corner if u messed up. you got my attention to subscribe and glad this vid comes up on my page

Man is more clutch than a ref at a chiefs game

the wait is finally over I missed you dad

Another great quality entertaining video. Really makes the time go by easier on the toilet 😆

Missed the last few streams but hype to watch this later

Love the subtle Merchant theme from Re4 you added in the video lol 💯

Nice. Due to your Dead Space 2 video, in October I went back and got the platinums for Dead Space 1, 2 and 3. Good stuff.

Great work, Snam! Keep it up

The "cake" killed me 😂

The Song of Acients playing in the background made this so good

I finished binging all your videos a couple hours ago, thanks for the immediate new fix! Edit because I can't English lol

Man I need the music that starts when he has to fight waves of enemy's when the marker is being moved, it sounds so good!

That initial analogy of a sickly Victorian child left me in a coughing fit…like a sickly Victorian child…

Good to see Issac isn’t only one to affected by the marker the madness is contagious 👍👍

just discovered you via your it takes two run! im looking forward to bingeing these vids, amazing stuff so far!! keep up the great vids

Awesome video. Though I have to say, I didn't expect the Song of the Ancients there at all. Great choice in music (and games, I'd assume).

Coming from someone who just got 7 day survivor I can really appreciate that mall music in the background! Great video bro

Way to go! Just picked this game up and remembered how much I love it (played the original of course). I know I'm going to try this challenge myself, though I'm not expecting to get it on my first try. I want to give you extra credit for using the Nier music :D

your positive energy and smiles brings me joy sooo please never frown :3

I can't believe you put me in a position where I will now have to examine necromorph butt if I ever play this game. Some crimes can never be forgiven

Watching this on stream is solid gold but love the RU-vid vids

Doing it these days, Bro! You got me even more chills 😞

Dead Space 2 is my favorit video so I'm veeeery exited for this one

The montage with music from Nier was awesome

My method for getting through hard model and what I used in later impossible mode was I had an upgrade with the plasma cutter that gave your backhand knock back. So my method was to stasis, backhand so they'd fall on their back and proceed to stomp them to death. That's what I did for I'd say 80% of the encounters, especially at the beginning in my hard run. It was so efficient that I was running into the issue of having so much ammo at the end that I couldn't carry if all. It's also nice for backhanding the purple electrical door locks! Saves a shot

Fun fact: It’s been proven that difficulty makes a game scarier. If you find horror games terrifying to the point that you can’t play them I, as a horror wimp myself, recommend two things: 1. Play the Dead Space series. It’s extreme isolation survival horror with very few actual jumpscares 2. Play horror games on the easier difficulties or the easiest difficulty. The easiest difficulty in the Dead Space Remake lets you kill most necromorphs in two to three shots if you aim for the head and then a limb.

22:21 that resi 4 safe room music caught me off guard, a welcome surprise tho

Love the RE4 save music, nice touch

Snam, you inspired me to go for this achievement when I thought I would never do it. Spent the last week going through it. Took me a little over 17 hours total (I did the master override and parts of side missions). Literally had nightmares, not from the monsters, but of me dying and not getting the achievement. It was very stressful. I’ll admit I quit out a couple times because I thought I was gonna get blown up or swallowed whole. On the final boss, you actually have a lot of time to shoot the yellow sac at the end. It dangles you for a long time. I think the rewards they give you are worth it, but I never wanna experience that kind of stress in a game again haha.

not dying is the smarter way to evade the youtube demonetization Well played

Having song of the ancients at the end was great

Ah, glad to see Snam also shares the same pride/foolhardiness that makes us reject the cheese...

I attempted this with about 45 hours of 'experience' and I thought I was good to go, but my first visit to the Bridge was also my last as I underestimated my battle with the first Brute. I miscalculated what I THOUGHT was a death animation and well, it's back to the drawing board. This was my first video of yours and I gotta say, I like your content.

Finally you post something I’ve been waiting a week Snam!!

i literally played dead space just to watch this video. That is how much you entertain me
