[@cameronmyers8005]

Fun fact: two golden eggs thrown into salazar’s face is enough to inst-kill him. Great for a no-merchant challenge. You find the second one in salazar’s throne room.

[@johandori7795]

So, I'm curious to see how many people actually know this, but almost (if not every) enemy other than the Garadors is unable to hear your footsteps, you can run whenever you want, as much as you want, and they won't ever notice because of it. Gunshots and explosions are a different story, but you really can just _run_ up behind enemies and stealth kill them with the knife. Probably a useful tip for anyone trying for S+, it certainly helped me.

[@tungyingloh6300]

Maybe Dante wanted to preserve knifes for parry use or Krauser fight? thats going to be long fight in hardcore.

[@johandori7795]

@@tungyingloh6300 I uh...I was more referencing the idea of the _running_ , not the stabbing neighbour. If memory serves, he did use the stealth kill multiple times, and my point was just that people don't actually need to worry about stealth, or rather crouching, because the vast majority of enemies aren't actually programmed to be able to hear your movement, even when running.

[@crewds]

@@johandori7795 yeah i was wondering if that was the case, running seemed to work for me a couple times. but i was still being cautious and snuck up behind every enemy i saw

[@BezoRazo]

@@johandori7795 All regular ganados can definitely hear you if you run. Yes, it's true that you can run up to one if his back is turned and stealth kill him, but he _does_ hear you; he just doesn't react in time. But were you to falter in your run for some reason, he would have the extra second he needs to turn to see whom he heard sprinting up to him. Or if there are 2 close together, you'd kill the one you were aiming for, but the other would turn to investigate the sound. For all intents and purposes, it amounts to the same for the point you were making, but I thought it worth setting the record straight.

[@SuperCasperman]

Dante ravioli doing once again RE4 challenges? This Is a certified hood classic

[@sneakybruno8865]

There's two of them

[@williamreely4431]

Breakable knives in RE4 make sense since the combat knife and Krauser knife can both be upgraded to the point where they don't break often, and the game tends to throw loads of disposable knives at you. I had 4 pristine boot knives in my inventory by the end of the game 😂

[@osurpless]

Yep, in combining this run with no healing and handgun/knife only (albeit on assisted…) I had forgotten the Primal Knife had to be fully upgraded to be indestructible (which I could’ve done on my previous Professional S+ run) but as I couldn’t talk to the Merchant? Didn’t matter though, as it gave me them whenever I was down to a single one or one severely damaged; much like how Dante got tons of green herbs.

[@Hellsgte28]

Literally a trophy for beating the game without talking to the merchant

[@emilcastro8591]

[@AwesomeAlexPlays]

@@emilcastro8591There’s a trophy for beating Professional, WITH NO BONUS WEAPONS, ON NG. (accessories are allowed so inf ammo is ideal)

[@JustSendMeLocationPlease]

Even if you don’t do it on New Game plus it’s rather easy if you do it on standard or Assisted. You can find a rifle, smg, a Red9, and a magnum. Plus you get the shotgun in the first chapter. It’s not all that hard on the lower difficulties. My biggest problem was inventory space actually

Dante, so happy your back you mad lad, there is one tip i have for you, if you want there is a unlockable infinite knife if you destroy all the Clockwork tiny Salazar trophies through out the story but depending on the ones you already destroyed first playthough they will no longer be in any other play throughs just the remaining ones you have to destroy. The knife will have to be upgraded fully to its infinite durability exclusive upgrade

[@Gashdal]

he doesn't seem that knowledgeable about the game tbh. maybe he realizes later in the video but the way he hoards his ammo at the beginning is super silly and not at all necessary, the game will give you more when you're low

[@gulbhai4208]

Less goo boiiii , was waiting alot for re4 remake video

[@speeddemon5339]

Here’s a challenge. Can you beat re4 (2005) with ONLY the punisher. The way the challenge would work is that you start off with the punisher using new game+ and nothing else (you would hopefully even have the base inventory), you couldn’t even use the knife (at all), you also wouldn’t be able to use any throwable items of any kind.

[@sirachaboston5896]

May 7th huh?

[@Gageberenss]

yeah before may 7...

[@luigimario2382]

As someone who is trying knife only without primal knife, there’s a few main issues. El gigante takes a lot of resources but is possible. Same with the big cheese. However, after the water room with the Ashley protection section, you need to shoot them to protect her. There may be a glitch to get up there yourself and defend her, but I don’t know a glitch like that. The elevator section is damn near impossible. Several crossbow enemies who spam shots at you constantly. Every enemy will be plagas because you can’t kill the red guy. And they all refuse to stagger even with constant stabs to the knees. Immediately after, the Salazar fight is extremely difficult with knife only. I won’t say it is impossible, but usually he stays out of range, and when he gets close he tends to go for the 1 hit kill bite attack. It would probably take more than an hour of constant stabbing to kill him. Plus, with his health bar you would need a lot of spare knives. Otherwise, the rest of the run is… manageable. Saddler is possible, krauser is as intended. The regeneradors are as normal but you will take a lot of grabs if you don’t get behind them. That elevator section broke me tho

[@Rampage-rb5xx]

Woah! Totally missed this video. It's definitely going to be a good one!

[@queenmarisa]

the video was great, but some constructive criticism, i feel like your classic videos had more funny takes, which this one did, but i felt that there was alot more OMG OMG or general shrieks and yelling in this one, maybe because its a longer one it feels as if theres more of that, it could just be me, but still love to see you are making videos again~

[@phelps9112]

Live commentary will never be entertaining nor funny for me, especially if it's a video game since all the person will say is describing what's happening on screen.

[@henry1872]

I like the breakable knife. A sort of, and I mean heavily sort of, is a small, minuscule nerf for the knife system in the game. But also reminds of the Resident Evil HD remake, where you could get knives as self defense tools when zombies grabbed you, but they immediately went away upon use (if I remember correctly, you could only grab one if you shoot their heads off)

[@Abbot_]

It's quite a heavy nerf, not miniscule in the slightest

[@propheinx2250]

For every bad mechanic, there's an apologist defending it.

[@frostpila4838]

Ever since re4 remake got released I've been looking forward to watch you. Finally! I can now watch in peace

[@ryank4047]

For Krauser's final form after you knock him down with a melee attack, whenever he tries to get up you can rush in and start stabbing his knees and you can get another melee attack. You can loop him the entire fight if you do it right. For some reason, stabbing his face doesn't stagger him like you would expect.
