Can You Beat Half Life Alyx With A Bow?

[@angelinasurzhyk6655]

18:13 I’d say that this was a triumph. I’m making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.

Throwing props actually can kill enemies Can you beat Half-Life: Alyx with only a brick?

[@RiceWitch-dingus-400]

technically yes but it's extremely hard because thrown props only do a few damage

[@drneotech7254]

Throwing fists

[@Skylander_Starscream]

@@RiceWitch-dingus-400 yes it is like beating hl2 with a cinderblock Because yes you can kill a zombie but it takes forever And any ranged combat is extremely likely for the guy using a gun to win

[@RiceWitch-dingus-400]

@@Skylander_Starscream It's easier to beat half life 2 with a cinder block than alyx because of the gravity gun

[@wojtekpolska1013]

@@RiceWitch-dingus-400 well you dont get the gravity gun for the 1st half of the game anyway

[@SkollTheWerewolf]

If a game does not have ANY workaround, legit or not, to bypassing a stage boss/enemy then I don't think that ruins the run. The game *forces* you to use the cannon, and because there's literally no workaround, I can't in good conscience say that's a failed run.

[@pokekylepark]

Well there's usually two types of runs like these. Those where you're asking 'Is it physically possible?' and those where you're asking 'Can I do it with my own abilities?'. Was it possible? No. But could he do it in regards to his own skill? Ye.

[@SkollTheWerewolf]

@@pokekylepark Well in this instance, HL:A physically prevents the bow from damaging the strider, forcing the player to use the cannon designed to deal damage to the "stage boss". If the bow could deal damage, even a little, then it would have been a failed run. Which is why in this instance, I don't think it counts.

[@Spacebugg]

@@SkollTheWerewolf ye and he could use the bow even if it had very low dmg but it doesnt have any dmg

[@hitechhooligan]

i was gonna say that too

[@PlayerZeroStart]

Yeah, a failed run should only be when the game technically allows you to operate within the rules of the challenge, but that doing so is simply impossible.

[@AustinWigley]

Fun fact you actually *have* to reload the shotgun to proc the zombies spawning at around 6 minutes. Otherwise you'll just stand there forever, hearing them bang on the wall.

[@theonewholaughs.1591]

Why it be like that?

[@britterzRP]

So they wouldn’t be a bug where the zombies won’t spawn

[@OctaHeart]

​@@theonewholaughs.1591To prevent players from getting swarmed while learning how to reload the shotgun

[@green7005]

Ok I thought beating the game without killing a single headcrab hard but this is just madness

[@wojtekpolska1013]

why tho? even he said it was easier, you just use a different weapon, which happens to instakill every enemy in the game

[@Slightlycamouflaged]

if anything he got an overpowered weapon

[@Phi_Lix]

The humor in this video is top notch, I haven’t laughed this much while watching a challenge video in a long time, thank you

[@Transgenic86]

You can skip killing the Stryder by simply using that phasing glitch to go on the other side of the crater and touch the homing beam thing. It'll just transition you to the next area.

[@rokcris7313]

yooo what are you doing here bro

[@tdoyr]

One thing I loved about half life Alyx was that it gave more personality to the combine. Especially during the transport part in the very beginning

[@likopinina6803]

absolute success! i love your sense of humour, i'm gonna start using the "classic blunder" phrase

[@stillwithstanding]

I can't believe you only have almost 20k subs you deserve much more with how well these are made

[@martymcnug6784]

Hell yeah man, good to see Nerd back!

[@Tree-zq5zi]

I think grenades should be classified as utility not a weopon so when u do something else feel free to use it

[@LaplaceVI]

Weapon and Utility are not mutually exclusive

[@Tree-zq5zi]

Did not think you would pin that thanks man

[@Tree-zq5zi]

It’s been a while but I just realized that would classify the Stryder turret as utility

[@챙랴노]

*sees thumbnail with crowbar instead of arrows* : oh combine would be in great danger

[@khiemtrinh8330]

First you keep head crabs alive, now it’s using medieval weapons to beat the game.

[@Dr._pizza]

Someone needs to turn the cannon you shoot the strider with into a ballista

[@kerbonaut2059]

Alyx picks up the Lucksman and becomes the Sniper from Team Fortress 2

hey, you, your finaly awake

[@rosekennedy9744]

I think it’s a success. Great work man. Top tier video

[@professional_lurker]

10:20 A fair number of videos have showcased the efffective penetrative power against armor a simple bow and arrow wields, but to briefly summarize them: "sharp thing go through stuff" If people ever find themselves in conflict with opponents using riot shields and body armor, a bow will still be a fairly viable option, assuming your target doesn't have a massive range advantage, like in a dense urban environment.

[@olivecool]

i feel like if i tried to play this game my computer would grow legs and walk out of my house and in front of a semi truck. this looks like a really fun game tho

13:08 In the OG Half Life scripted NPCs have a lot more health than normal ones, so I imagine that they did the same trick for this guy so you can still feel like you hit him without actually killing him.

This was a triumph I'm making a note here; "Huge success" It's hard to overstate My satisfaction

i think this was a success. there are plenty of game where you have to use specific techniques or weapons to beat a part of a game.
