[Resident Evil 4 Remake] No Merchant, Professional, No Save, No Damage, S+ Rank

[@Aether2125]

*Bosses / Minibosses:* - Del Lago (0:32:50) - El Gigante (0:44:37) - Bella Sisters (1:08:38) - Bitores Mendez (1:16:48) - Garrador (1:29:20) - Double Garradors (2:37:23) - Verdugo (2:46:42) - Double Gigantes (2:59:52) - Krauser's knife fight (3:12:22) - Salazar (3:33:59) - Krauser 2 (4:27:55) - Krauser 3 (4:33:14) - Mutated Krauser (4:35:44) - Saddler (5:24:10) *Notes:* - I think this is the hardest restricted challenge run in this game even though there are some moments where the minimalist challenge is more complicated and that run took me more time. This is a challenge where you can't bypass many sections and bosses with firepower, it requires very careful planning of resources (grenades, flashbangs and knives especially), understanding the loot system quite well and getting used to the guns at their base level. - I did this run on stream so I apologize if there are moments I pause the game for a few seconds to read chat. I tried my best to trim those moments out.

В римейке оставили также, или что-то поменяли и улучшили?😎

[@POPLR]

Yeah bro I learned a lot from you and master kd keep it up🎉 ‏😊 Quick question: why do a lot of re4 r speedruners keep crouching when they move does it makes them faster or what ?

[@Aether2125]

@@POPLR Good question. Leon runs slowly when you’re in combat and some areas for some reason and in many of these situations crouch running is faster than simply running. I use it sometimes in this run. Similarly you can fire your shotgun at a faster rate if you use crouch to cancel a few frames of the recovery.

[@VDTT5]

Hey, firs of all, thanks for this Run, very impressive and also nice :D Second, want to ask something, as RE4 classic the difficulty is adaptative, in this RE4 Remake the difficulty besides being on Professional is adaptative too?. Im asking this bc I wonder if as you didnt Improvement any gear as weapons, etc, then the game is "less" difficult or "more" difficult. (Of course besides your skills and the attempt of doing it without upgrading anything).

[@Aether2125]

RE4 og created the adaptive difficulty but on professional it had no effect as the difficulty adjustment (DA) variable was maxed out. For the remake it is similar for Professional but the DA isn’t exactly maxed out. There’s practically no effect in terms of the damage output you deal since its range is pretty small on pro. However in the remake the DA is controlled by two variables (one for actions and another for items). The variable for items can affect the loot system by not giving you special drops like heavy grenades. Keeping it not too high however is not affected by no merchant exactly but more like not crafting too much for example.

[@VDTT5]

@@Aether2125 Got it now and it seems reflected on the items dropped or in boxes, etc. Even tho the game will still provide those items you are lacking off (as normally bc you have to walkthrough the game). Thanks for the answer. Was questioning that bc as you didnt upgrade anything then lets say for an example the red 9 max with 5 shots an enemy is killed = 5 shots without maxing/no upgrade (So in this case it is the same and the DA appears).

[@Aether2125]

@@VDTT5 I intentionally avoid crafting throughout chapter 8 and 9 to make sure my item points are okay for that manipulation in chapter 10 to get 4 heavy grenades. It's something that can applied in regular runs too though.
