[Resident Evil 4 Remake] Minimalist (SG-09 R/Knives Only), Professional, No Save No Damage, S+ Rank

[@Aether2125]

*Bosses / Minibosses:* - Del Lago (0:38:30) - El Gigante (0:58:06) - Bella Sisters (1:19:02) - Bitores Mendez (1:25:33) - Garrador (1:34:38) - Double Garradors (2:31:48) - Verdugo (2:39:18) - Double Gigantes (2:50:20) - Krauser's knife fight (3:02:15) - Salazar (3:14:37) - Krauser 2 (4:07:18) - Krauser 3 (4:11:05) - Mutated Krauser (4:12:54) - Saddler (4:55:19) *Weapon upgrades:* - Fully upgraded SG-09 R - before El Gigante (0:57:13) - Fully upgraded Combat Knife - chapter 7 (1:32:38) - Fully upgraded Fighting Knife - chapter 15 (4:17:35) *Notes:* - In the minimalist run, you're still allowed to use the cannon in chapters 7 and 8, the lava trap in chapter 11 to kill El Gigantes and the turrets in chapter 15. I made to sure to get the challenge done in the run and you can see it trigger in the results screen as proof. - If you're doing the minimalist challenge (without being restricted to just SG-09 R), I recommend fully investing in the SG-09 R until you get to the castle, then you should invest in the Blacktail and later get the Matilda with the stock. For the Island, you should keep the Blacktail for most encounters and use the Matilda with the stock for Krauser and Saddler. - Some parts didn't go as intended. One of them was the cabin: some small mistakes at the end of phase 1 led to a chaotic opening of phase 2 and I unintentionally killed 5 enemies triggering the brute so I had to improvise - please check a separate video I recently uploaded with the correct methodology for phase 2. Saddler's fight was a bit sloppy as I missed a few important shots during the Novistadors summoning so I was a bit late to move to the lower platform (luckily it was still fine as he went for the horizontal acid attack). The Bella sisters in chapter 6 also went poorly due to some unfortunate enemy placements and small mistakes. In the village siege, I had an unfortunate opening with too many grabbers pressuring me into the little shack and then I had a lucky parry at 0:05:06 that I happened to get because I was aiming to reorient Leon towards the Ganado for a knife execution. - I had to take a break at 1:51:10 for about 15 minutes so I edited out the long pause I had in the run.

[@sugarb0os]

GOAT OF RE4R 🔥

[@Fedor_Kisliakov]

Finally watched it fully. Salazar fight was a work of art, I did not expect you can be that offensive with him. I just kite him around the column.

[@Aether2125]

It's one of the better fights of the game. In some specific positions and by understanding his AI with the pustules, it removes the randomness with the acid. I like how the knife is really good at stunning him.

[@jeffreywjohnson77]

Knifing Ramon speaks to how skilled you have to be

[@steazfactor3637]

I’ve been waiting for this!! Can’t wait to learn!

[@nightdoom98]

you and me both

[@danihakala]

And me

[@juanrubio6132]

Dude this is impressive. I remember how hard it was for me to get S+ on professional. And you do it with only the handgun and knife. Earn yourself a subscriber. Nice work!

[@littleloss8339]

I'm never getting tired of this game.

[@sweetbobbybliss]

My guy, I am on vacation with my family in Florida, I don’t like theme parks (we’re here for our kids) the food is overpriced, a beer is ten dollars, I have nothing but awful hotel tv in my room and then you Aether….you come along and upload this. You my friend are an absolute Godsend and have single-handedly made this the best vacation ever!!❤ I love you, Bro!!!

[@Aether2125]

Enjoy your vacation! Thank you for the kind words! 😄

[@neithanacevedo9669]

lol I’m from Florida and he’s not wrong every single thing is overpriced as fuck 😂 especially when people (the vendors or store owners) figure out your a tourist that’s when it just gets borderline ridiculous

[@friskflowerfell9689]

Enjoy!

[@heghog-xz4uo]

Damn, the SG-09R is fully upgraded in 57:13, much faster than I expected, I thought it'd only be available when it reaches Castle at least Knife: 1:32:38

[@Aether2125]

Good idea, I'll include those two points in the pinned comment.

[@jtdilauro]

an absolute god

[@rafaelribeiro404]

Your parrying timing is nuts man. Awesome work as always 🫡

I love your runs of this game, so much replayability man! Impressive skills each run.

[@relaxingkoty5333]

was in and out of the streams when you were attempting and routing. glad to see you got it finished, looking forward to watching this.

[@chriszeien9112]

Great run my friend. Love your videos. Always nice to pick up a few tricks as well as time and ammo savers. Stay well.

It’s a good day when Aether uploads a new RE4R video. Masterclass speed runner

[@wr4th155]

you’re one of the best re players for sure, going for professional no save no damage myself referring to your other videos! It’s insane that you got this run so perfectly

[@Zav_Xoz]

Шикарное видео, местами ты проходишь быстрее , чем играть как обычно со всем оружием. приятно смотреть, как управляешь геймпадом 👍

[@hibikiverdugo9465]

[@europowerrockch2943]

You've played like a god in this game. Thx for those previous gameplays, I take it as a guide. Now, I finally got the S+ with the cat ears.

[@trickydog3933]

Leon "running" at the speed, like he's walking home after having a box of beer, is killing me. I like the remake, but movement somtimes, makes me cry..

[@Aether2125]

Cannot count the number of times I screamed "Run, Leon!" in this game. 😂

[@timgonzales2891]

Hes carrying a lot of hardware in most cases, lot of weight. Still slow lol

[@iamkazuki830]

Bro, I really hope that your channel grow up. Your gameplays are extremely perfect.

[@GuStAsYT477]

THE GOAT RETURNS!!!

[@Tiggybuddy]

Just recently bought RE4 remake and found that I suck at it much more than the original 😅 I've been watching your vids for help and they've been great. Ran through all the other Leon ones though so this is great timing. You're awesome brother

[@Ralph3able]

Man you're a God at this game

[@random_editz4394]

This was amazing good job 👏

[@littlenihilo]

Your gameplay is very soothing. Might sound weird but its very pleasant. This is a perfect run as usual

[@JessePlayzYT26]

Lore accurate Leon Kennedy

[@Adamski-md8vc]

It's always a pleasure to watch you play Resident Evil. How perfectly you parry and dodge with the knife is insane. Awesome run Bro 😊💪💪

[@marlon16701]

Meu sonho é jogar como você haha, parabéns cara você faz um trabalho incrível.

[@포크루-c1c]

hello. I am enjoying your challenging play. It was easy to achieve S+ by referring to the Resident Evil 2 Remake video posted on the channel. What part do you always find the most difficult to play?

[@Aether2125]

Thank you very much for the support! The hardest part is the double Garradors room for this challenge.

[@포크루-c1c]

@Aether2125 Thank you for answer

[@stealthy9754]

Bro, i just beat the game for the first time on hardcore, barely make it out alive with a B rank And now i see this, perfect, sub 👍

It really takes a lot of skill, well done

[@supervegito377]

Damn bro u must have balls of steel to do this challenge.Ur a beast in this game gg💪

[@JudgeMental1337]

okay I know I´m good because I play videogames for like 2 decades now, but this is another level. Nice run congratz !

[@mehdi_azmoudeh]

I wish I could have subscribed to your channel more than once

[@steazfactor3637]

The rpd uniform looks good in re4r

[@Jonathan-kf7lb]

I'm trying to get the minimalist and frugalist challenges done in one Assisted run, and the double Garrador room has been the biggest challenge to get through relatively unhurt since the cabin fight. I didn't even think to knife a few enemies to death before starting on the blind boys

[@empty_melodies]

My gawd. _Respect_ 🫡

[@thanatosxiii]

Always strive for perfection I see.

[@lenorxgaming5480]

really nice runs , was kinda wondering if you are considering other games besides Resident evil games , like the witcher no dmg runs , or any other games like that , again really like your runs keep up the good work ;)

[@Aether2125]

I occasionally do other games but they’ve been mostly survival horror ones.

Thank you

this is totally insane

[@Jmemylord]

12:13 awesome!

[@Amo2822]

As she said (You are really the best)

[@aliciannaeinrheint6808]

Its crazy, & we like it. if u can speedrun with hardest difficulty, then the 100 % cinematic kill all enemies is just a child play for u, Aether. Respect to you, Sir 🔥🔥🔥

[@dantevergil6437]

The best challenges you guys create is that "kill all" enemy. Much better and fun.

[@Garcia1995]

Keep in mind to do this kind of thing Leon does in this video, he would have to be a psychic, and know all the enemies positions and how to deal with them.
