Can you 100% Ghost of Tsushima without dying once? (Lethal Difficulty)

So this is it! The Challenge to 100% Ghost of Tsushima without dying a single time in one full one! If not my hardest challenge I've done so far, it's certainly my longest and one of my hardest! This was meant to be split into 2 parts, but I got too caught up in it and it become just 1 large part! I hope that works for you all!
I've been trying since April to beat this challenge so win or lose, here it is!
Rules
Complete every single part of the game, all collectibles, tales, story, just all it, all in 1 run without dying.
Only Iki Island Content as DLC is not counted towards the final 100%
Only deaths count, as in health goes to zero and the screen goes black. Any other game over factor like hostage going bye bye or being seen doesn't count
So yeah, don't die and 100% the game! Simple, but sure to drive me crazy!
Probably mispronounce everything even after listening to it all a trillion times

[@connorraleigh1122]

Personally the best part about the ending for me is that, with how they're written, both choices can be easliy argued for or against. I personally only pick kill for the white armor, i think the way Jin walks away in the spare ending is the best ending imaginable but for him to honor his only family members dying wish and to be called son 1 more time by said family member? Chefs kiss to the devs for making both endings viable:) top 3 games of all time personally

[@Shenaniloon]

[@My_name_is_I.P._Freely]

Truly, he is invincible under the sun

[@IFearTheDarkness]

Im late to this, but a major tip for the Ryuzo boss fight that worked for me after 100+ deaths on a platinum lethal run, never roll dodge. Only side step his unblockables, also, using heavy attacks more frequently bates out parable blue glint attacks and easily blockable kick attacks. Also when he gets into a slashing furry, just hold block, dont dodge. Hope this helps!

[@Shenaniloon]

Great advice!

[@The-Gentleman-Ender]

Haven't even started the video and I'm willing to put aside my pride and say I wouldn't have the patience or the resolve to try this challenge because I feel that my attitude towards this challenge would make me hate this amazing game if I attempted it

[@Poja_0811]

lil' advice, parry if you can, don't doge backwards unless the attack is a sweeping attack, use the hold triangle attack with the water stance against every shield man and don't fair fight spear guys and brutes NEVER it's a dead sentence unless you have poison or ghost stance

[@Shenaniloon]

[@jackharper4400]

I tried to take a fort on Lethal difficulty, took like 3 hours with 30 - 40 deaths. Tried to be aggressive? Die. Tried to be defensive? Die. Tried to parry? Die. Tried to dodge? Die. Tried to one on one? Die. Tried to fight 20 guys at the same time? Die. Tried to do bow arrow again achers? Die (they got aimbot for sure). Tried to block/parry/be cool samurai? Absolutely destroyed. Overall, 11 out of 10, this is GOTY for me and many players, respect TLOU 2 but this one really push you over limit. Cleared almost the whole fort but died to a single arrow because I underestimate archer. And who even playing this as a stealthy shinobi, if you like that you have AC or sekiro. Let fight with honor and stand against all those Mongols!!!

[@Shenaniloon]

I love the perseverance and joy of the game! Very nicely done!

[@SavingPrivateBob]

That was a smart move where you said the time right away, it was actually a hook. Like how tf did it take him that long? lol

[@Gamernerd497]

You guys probably think I’m lying, but I only died about two times during the story but whenever I went to do the hundred completion I died about 85 times

[@Shenaniloon]

Nah, I believe you! Nicely done! That's pretty great either way!

[@Arrowbooks]

You should try a challange on god of war ragnarok on max diff for optimal agony

285.5 hours is insane at that point I'd just get too bored to play anymore

You realise killing him is the good ending, he will kill himself if you don’t anyway, thus is the samurai code

[@Shenaniloon]

An interesting take which I know many share. From what I've read and heard in game, he doesn't die if you spare him, riding back to his castle injured. We can theorize anything after that, but I'd argue the good ending is Jin sticking to his own personal code, ignoring the samurai code since that's been the core of the whole story. Both options make sense and another part of what makes the game great

Lethal is insanely difficult. Of course I've only played about 10 hrs on the new pc version, but that demon fight had me going insane. It might have been better to do some side content first. I had zero worthwhile skills at that point.
