This Achievement in The Evil Within is PSYCHOTIC 

The death animation is hilarious, he completely stop what he was doing, all momentum lost, stares into the distance and then dramatically falls to the floor, work of art

The fact that I beat akumu and didn't realise you could go back and save after every kill has brought me so much pain oml, I feel so dumb

Half of my deaths in Akumu mode came from those damn beartraps.

A tip for anyone trying this run. If you want to disarm the rotation bombs to get the much needed trap parts but are struggling with the tiny margin, try not watching the dial go round, instead stare right in the centre dot and let your peripheral track when to stop it. Not perfect but I got way more with this technique, couldn’t get any before. Hope this helps anyone who might need it!

I finished Akumu mode on the PS4 version of The Evil Within back in 2017 and....yeah it’s insane. ESPECIALLY the final boss (which I believe took me 5-6 hours to beat). I’m just glad that more people are talking about The Evil Within tho I love this game.

The thing that suprises me most, is the amount of positive emotions this gentelman has through more than 350 deaths... You sir are awesome and got my subscription. Hope to see more from you.

Glad to see people still making content on this masterpiece! My favorite horror game of all tine

This trophy was brutal to get but I loved every minute of it. The Evil Within is a fantastic game.

Tbh 3.0% of players that got this trophy are definitions of chad

"This is fine. ... I lied." If that doesn't summarize the entire playthrough. Well done Snam, you're truly a King for pushing through some of the most torturous difficulties, and modes in these games; whether for our entertainment, your some sort of masochistic languishing, or a mixture of the above - we thank, and applaud you. Another job well done. I also personally appreciate your ability to cut down a 21hr run in to 37 -much easier consumable- minutes.

Just beat Akumu yesterday. It feels horribly unfair at times but the satisfaction of clearing a stage just with your game knowledge and big brain use of the environment is goddamn satisfying. This proves how great the level design is in this game

Beat this mode 3 separate times and I remember all too well getting bodied by a flailing elbow or a shin kick. You think you you have the upper hand because the enemy is on the ground and you have matches on the ready. Match is lit and….WTF??? HOW AM I DEAD??? Dude on the ground started flailing out of nowhere and his temper tantrum killed you. Great memories

Man Joseph was so tilting in this game. Funniest thing about watching this is how anti-climactic the death animations when you die from a little hit / stray bullet, had me in stitches

I did this achievement about a year ago and almost lost my mind. Since this is my favorite game I felt obliged to 100% it and it was totally worth the experience. I had to reset at chapter 11 because I got soft locked since I didn’t have enough ammo, but it was still fun to see how fast I got back. Seriously hope they make a 3rd game

The good thing about it is that the game saves constantly so you don't lose a lot of progress when you die.

My favourite thing is that the death animation is less like he's in pain and more like he's just disappointed

I haven’t gotten every achievement in this one, but i have in evil within 2. The “you asked for it again” is the most rage inducing, brutal achievement i have ever attempted and completed while also getting all weapons and collectables throughout. It took me 2 and a half months to do it.

He's always smile through the pain he's suffering...

This brings back memories, but the extra challenge on top of Akumu for me was that there was something about the combination of frame-rate, motion and lighting that would bring on a nauseous headache more often than not. Still never figured out exactly what thing caused it, I tried changing graphics settings, TV settings, everything, but it was a constant thing. I've never had it with any other game before or since.

Did this achievement a couple of years back. It was a pain in the ass at a couple of points, but man oh man.. when that achievement popped, nothing can compare to that feeling. Well, except perhaps the Hard To The Core achievement in Dead Space 2...

You're the type of guy who'd be trapped in an infinite time loop by a god but somehow beat it before going insane

So something really funny about Chapter 6 when I attempted Akumu mode….in your playthrough Joseph gave you literal hell by dying all the time and was probably a real thorn in your side, but my experience was the exact OPPOSITE. Not only did Joseph finally learn how to balance on a plank, but he also interrupted the enemies kill animations when I got grabbed; he SAVED my ass multiple times from a restart! If only your Joseph wasn’t a walking hazard sign in this run lol

The real victory is that you finish one of the game with the worst combat and hit registration that ive ever played. You sir, are a legend

I love how for every chapter snam is like ‘This was really hard, until it wasn’t. Then it was easy.’

As a Evil Within speedrunner, I could feel your pain deep inside your eyes while playing lol Great run, well done dude!

Watching this almost makes me want to replay akumu, then I remember how bad chapter 6 was and change my mind.

I love that this channel focuses on the 5-ish % of completion trophies rather than those 0.5-ish %. I feel like a lot of games reach low % by asking players for weird grind rather than a fun challenge like this.

I died over 120 times in Akumu,but man,those knuckle dusters were totally worth it.

Pro Tip for The Masochists out there who are actually tempted to try this themselves : The Freeze Bolts on The Warden Crossbow can also freeze the tripwire bombs if I remember correctly. It's basically a trade off, one freeze bolt for some parts. But if you're in a pinch and cannot afford anymore mistakes, there's always a costly get out of trap free card at your disposal. Just remember to conserve your ammo though...

The first portion of chapter 6 took me 2 days to complete I would literally sit in class and just think of different ways to beat the level. One of the few games I'm truly proud of platinuming.

If you can get past Chapter 6 you can beat Akumu Mode, chapter 6 on Akumu mode was the most difficult challenge In a game I've ever experienced and Beating The Evil Within on Akumu was the most satisfying and rewarding feeling ever.

Its so nice to see your channel grow more and more with each video, my first video of yours was the Dead Space video. Hit me in the feels, the first game i beat on the hardest difficulty was Dead Space 2 Hardcore, and it was nice to see someone else do it and experience it for the first time! Can't wait to see your future content!

dude your videos are genuinely so amazing, and I love the evil within so this is awesome to watch

This was one of the games I platinum this year. Akumu mode is no joke. Had 89 deaths after I was done. Another tip to make chapter 6 a little bit easier is definitely try to upgrade your flash bolts to at least level 5. Gives you some breathing room without wasting up too much ammo

18:51 Chat:"Pitbull vs 9 year old boss fight" is one of the funniest shit I've seen tbh 💀

I get SO hyped for your videos man. You do top tier work!

I just love so much your content. Your narrative, the humour, the content, i love it, thank you!

After clearing both Akumu in TEW1, and Classic in TEW2, I'd say that Classic is much tougher (and I highly recommend you try it, because it is fun, and extremely rewarding to successfully complete). Sure, you die in 1 hit on Akumu, but you still can upgrade gear and stats to actually handle enemies with relative ease by the end (bosses are a bit more difficult, but those just take more careful playing), especially if you upgrade the best weapons to use (like the shotgun, sniper, and warden crossbow). You can also upgrade your stamina, reloading speeds, etc to make combat a bit more managable if you get into bad situations. In Classic on TEW2, you cannot upgrade anything, and enemies have the stats as they would in Nightmare. While this doesn't sound like much, it means you are still a 2-3 shot kill to any basic enemies, or a near 1 shot kill to bosses, while also not having much stamina to effectively run from enemies. Because of not upgrading, it means that by endgame, it can take 2-3 shotgun blasts to the head to kill a single enemy at times, and ammo and resources are also found in much smaller amounts. Finally, the most difficult thing about Classic, limited saves. You have a total of 7 saves to use in the entire game, and the game will not autosave. The game is also 16 chapters, so you have to learn where the more difficult parts are, and think about when the best times to actually save your progress is.

This horror game in particular is somehow most fun out of all. The story, fighting mechanics, and the feeling to freely move around. Makes this series the most enjoyable horror game to experience.

This game is a masterpiece, people should talk about it way more

Snamwich is quickly becoming one of my favorite RU-vidrs

I think that this mode is what promotes people to stream. If the average person were to try akumu mode they'd lose patience and quit probably never to return to the game, assuming theyve beat already. But when you stream, you have people with you experiencing it with you and motivating you along with making jokes. Sure theres going to be haters but some troll comments could also push you to further persevere through the hardest difficulty to one up them. Ive always wanted to start streaming but i dont feel like i have the personality qualities it takes to be one. Good on you mate, not only for beating akumu mode but for being a wholesome guy to watch beat some hard games.

Dude, the whole sky rail part where you can only stand still while enemies are throwing shit at you was SO painful when getting this achievement. I think I was in physical pain by the end.

I beat this a couple years back and oh man… such a difficult but fun challenge. Some parts were brutal. A platinum trophy that I will never forget. The second games “classic” difficulty is pretty tough too. Only 7 saves for entire game.

Congrats man, Akumu mode can be a real pain and an awesome experience to put your skills to the test. Getting the platinum trophy as I beat Akumu mode felt so satisfying

Just found this channel and immediately fell in love. Great edits and even better commentary. Can’t wait for what’s to come!

Dude I had so much fun getting this trophy and I’m so happy to see this pop up and you enjoying it!

The Evil Within is effin' awesome. So glad the game's getting some much deserved love. I never played this mode (did play nightmare)--much, haha. It was a nightmare for me. The video was hilarious. Thank you for the laughs!

This is one of my all time favorite games. They hit it out of the park with atmosphere and the game play is solid. Never tried Akumu myself and might give it a try myself.

Considering how I already subscribed and liked the video, I can't give you much more other than my respect for bearing through this achievement, keep up the great work, Snam!

Love your videos! As a trophy hunter myself I truly appreciate seeing you take on these insane achievements ❤️👏🏻

These streams were such a joy to watch.

Love your videos, man. I have no doubt that if you continue to upload more people will take a shine to your warm personality and you'll blow up.

I've watched all your videos.. Like wow... the time and commitment you put into them is seriously impressive.. achievement GOD

This is actually wonderfully edited. Also well done on the achievement!

Wow, legendary! Still need Evil Within 3 to come!

This game scared me more than any other game I ever played. That’s the only reason I played it on this difficulty so I could feel that fear again.

Insane to see how much your channel has grown since the Dead Space and Dead Rising vids. Keep on keeping on Snam!

Man, I've watched through your entire channel this last few days. You're a talented editor with great comedic timing. Looking forward to the next challenge dude.

Snamwiches has literally the most chill face playing this mode. I swear no one would be able to draw a sketch of my face when I was playing this.

Seeing this channel has inspired me to go for platinums again. So now I'm currently in a long grind for the Yakuza 5 plat and it's almost perfect that this video came along to lift my spirits. Appreciate you and anyone else reading this.

This is one of my favourite platinum trophies along with dead space 1,2,3. I feel your pain and really enjoyed watching your pain. The 2 Safe heads always done me over and over.

I have a tradition where every year in October I have to beat Akumu Mode and it never gets any easier lol.

I don't think I have the patience (nor the time) anymore to put myself through this. Just finished this on normal back when it came out. Can't wait until my kids are finally old enough so I can make them get the achievements for me. Entertaining video as always ^^

I remember doing this back in the day.... Ch. 6 caused me to reset to the beginning of the game to get more trap parts and cheese it with flash and electric parts. Had over 600 deaths my first akumu run

Thanks for playing this! Love this game

Had a great time watching this on stream, keep up the great work Snam!

So what IS your favourite movie of all time? I can't be left on a cliffhanger like this

Love this duology. Hoping there's a 3rd game someday (even if there never is, these two games are still gems).

Playing games on the hardest difficutly really proves that you know the mechinacs well and take the time to understand and master. Congrats on another banger!

Akumu is rough. My favorite is when the match prompt doesn’t work properly and then the haunted spergs out on the ground and kills you by tickling your ankles

Understatement of the century. Can't name a single thing harder than this.

Im amazed you can be so calm during this, i played on normal and was raging so much at the keeper haha

Two things about the hardest chapter: the bridge trick works because on nightmare and Akumu enemies have a modified AI and all the melee weapon haunted target Jojo instantly after they spawn while the dynamite dudes target Seb. The other is that Electric bolts aren't the best for locking enemies down as enemies take HALF damage during their stun. Freeze has a shorter duration but afaik it lets you deal full damage. Electric bolts are there for setting up match combos.

Wow, I can't believe you had the patience to beat it! I would've given up a long time ago. Well done, very well done 👏

Love your vids man, keep doing your thing ✊🏽

I remember spending a whole lot of time on this difficulty, think it took me a few days to beat it and this game I spent more time on certain levels that I’ve never had to do on any other game. If I had to guess my deaths in had to be about 150, my insanity was at max. I still remember me finally getting the achievement and casually sliding down my chair whilst laughing quite Insanely 😂

I think this was the last game I ever attempted an impossible difficulty challenge, it didn’t even fell like it was worth it for the knuckle dusters.

Man I gotta say you have such a positive energy about you, and your laughter is certainly contagious :)

Snam, this was an amazing experience as a viewer. Every time I was a believer, I won and won big. These videos definitely need more Hayeswall in them. ;) Keep up the great content, dude.

Even if i won't do this challenge because Nightmare difficulty was just enough for me, this game is definitely very very underrated.

For this game, I followed a streamer Jigzaw_killer's guide and he made the game much more a breeze than I thought. So much became trivial that I deemed impossible without getting hit. Love this game. Would defiantly recommend it to any survival horror fan. Also, before I forget. My dude try to get an S rank in Resident Evil Code Veronica. I won't stop commenting on every upload till you acknowledge me.

Another great video Snam keep up the amazing work!

Great job bro love the content

This took me like a week and a half to finish. Chapter 6 and 11 were an absolute nightmare and I was scraping by with barely any ammo the last few chapters. Besides all the bs… totally worth! TEW2’s Akumu mode (which was later added) is nowhere near as bad, but it’s not even an achievement/trophy sadly.

My dude, you’re going to be BIG content creator on here in no time! I’m glad I stumbled across you a month or so ago :D Also, Clair De Lune at the end was just so nice to hear. That piece of music for me actually has a lot of memories attached to it, so it was quite a FeelsGoodMan way to end.

Amazing video. I was PUMPED for this. Did not disappoint!!!

2nd Chapter you don't actually have to kill the police officer, if you run into the cave to meet Leslie then you skip having to waste ammo on killing the police officer.

Ah Akumu mode...that is a really rough difficulty indeed. Although I'd almost argue that the sequel's Classic difficulty was harder thanks to the limited saves and no upgrades. Still, a great series and rough as hell. I only wish we find out what happened to Joseph Oda sooner or later!

I haven’t started watching yet but I’m gonna guess the death count is pretty high! This mode is hard AF.

Went to your twitch and found some amazing videos but couldnt find you evil within one to watch. Currently watching your resi 7 one. Great

So about a week ago I found one of your videos I watched it and it was a early video of yours, I’m surprised there wasn’t more videos because the quality of videos you do is amazing, I binged watched all your content that same night. You got an amazing channel, it needs more subs.

I’m sad they’re not making another sequel for these games

Do evil within 2

Your vids are amazing, and I love how much work you put into these games and editing these videos!

Love your videos mate, always an instant watch 💪🏻

I love this series of games. Great video snam

Channel is hitting recommended like no tomorrow, absolute class content man :D

You deserve WAY more subs. Keep up the high quality man.

I loved this mode. Great video again :)
