Can You Beat The Last of Us Part I With Only Throwables?

In this challenge I had to beat The Last of Us using only throwables. If you're a fan of The Last of Us and gaming challenges in general be sure to check out my channel! My previous TLOU challenge was a pistol only run which can be found here: • Can You Beat The Last ...
Check out my Resident Evil 4 Remake playthrough without opening the attaché case: • Can You Beat Resident ...
And before anyone points out the infinite ammo pistol at the sniper part at 11:19 and tries to say I cheated that is because part of the footage for the sniper section got corrupted so I went back with infinite ammo just to capture that clip again. You can also see the health bar goes up here and matches the clip right after where I used infinite crafting, but then goes back down when I get to Tommy's Dam because that footage is from my actual playthrough. Going back for extra footage is a pain and I try to keep continuity, but I noticed that literally after exporting the video. Also at 17:58 you can see my revolver is missing one bullet, which is from shooting a single shot at the end of The University. Honestly idk why I didn't reload/pickup another bullet to keep it full before that point lol but that is why it's like that. I know a lot of people don't read the description anyway so I'm still going to get comments about it, but oh well.

Definitely very happy that, despite all the difficulties of this challenge, you still somehow managed to save a nailbomb for Jerry at the very end.

Imagine you are a firefly in the last of us and you see a maniac with a brick killing all your friends

[@blackscreenman6117]

Bricks >>> every other melee Haven't even started watching and I know this is going to be another certified epiccakes banger Edit: bruh dragging people into molotov fire is the most sadistic thing I have ever seen in this game, I love it.

[@epiccakesgaming]

Thanks! I had to go back to the real GOAT weapon bricks after neglecting them in my last TLOU challenge.

[@UnknownDarkness47]

The breaking bad intro had me rolling. Well done 😆

[@HeWhoIsNamedPatrick]

No bricks in the entire HBO series was one of the few things I wish they would have had

[@jhornacek]

Where were the bricks? The bottles? The pallets? Ellie mentions in the second episode that she can't swim ... and then it *never* is brought up again. I understood that it was a show, not a game, so they wouldn't have all the game puzzles where you have to figure out how to get Ellie across some water, but I thought they'd have at least *one* callback to her not being able to swim. But nope, nothing. If you never played the game and only watched the show, by the end of the season you probably forgot that Ellie can't swim.

I am very suprised that you spent so much time on this video, respect.

[@oryxarisu]

Love ur content, u definitely deserve more views! The effort u put JUST for this video is insane, considering that tlou takes hours to finish and having that skill to literally finish the game with just throwables is impressing.

[@totallynotjoey]

Oh my gosh can't get over how entertaining your videos are!!! Absolutely love watching your content and especially tlou and I'm legitimately glued to watching it. Would love to see you do a challenge for left behind, the dlc, that would be awesome. Underrated for sure and you definitely deserve a million plus subs, just waiting for that day to eventually happen🤩🤩

[@epiccakesgaming]

Thanks so much I'm glad you enjoy my videos! :) I've thought about doing something for left behind, but it would probably be included in a challenge with the rest of the first game since there isn't a ton of gameplay in the dlc.

[@totallynotjoey]

@@epiccakesgaming Ahh that's true. Well whatever it be can't wait to see more tlou content!! Specifically part 1 because I'm yet to buy the second part. Got 1 major spoiler, now I don't want to play it. But how much would you give the second part out of 10?

[@hellaprice]

Always a good day when ECG uploads!

[@epiccakesgaming]

Glad you think so! Hope you like the video :)

[@TheHarracane]

I love your channel bro. It's also really nice to see that people are still making content on The Last of Us since it's my favourite videogame.

[@user-jc2zd6ps2l]

It amazes me how people can actually do stuff like this because when i normally play its on the easiest setting. Btw i love your last of us vids

[@leretard6936]

Awesome quality, i hope your channel explodes in popularity soon

[@mayawowsers6121]

Love your TLOU videos so much! one of my favourite youtubers 🙏

[@keenza73]

ECG you have outdone yourself this time, thanks for another great upload

[@SuigetsuIsArt]

Naughty Dog obviously should have considered that hanging upside down and shooting people is cool and all but it would be even cooler to be hanging upside down hurling bricks with pinpoint accuracy.

[@Bobthe_2011ranger]

I absolutely love the Patrick at the basement level you just gained a sub 😂

[@cashbentley7489]

Joels fists are basically bricks, I feel like melee could have counted in some areas

[@ontheoddoccasion2908]

a wonderful video! I love seeing you complete these challenges

[@Literallylilly1]

My adhd gets bored of most videos, but i clicked on yours and watched the whole thing. This challenge must have been so hard! Youre doing great 👍👍

[@Nameless.Hermit]

There's an Irish comedy from the 90s called Father Ted, in 1 episode the alcoholic Priest gets a brick as a pet and shouts "I love my brick!" and now any game that has bricks as a weapon I always shout it and now my neighbours think I'm more mental than I actually am 🧱

[@jhornacek]

The first time I played this game I thought bricks and bottles were only useful for distracting enemies, or luring Infected into one spot so I could throw a nail bomb/molotov at them. It was a long time before I realized (completely by accident) that if you throw one at an enemy and then hit them with a melee weapon it is a one-hit kill. This helped me out so much when I was low on ammo and had to deal with Clickers.

[@soniawilliams9913]

A cool challenge would be to do allies only so as many Allie kills as possible with as least joel kills as you can have

[@jader_the_invader3683]

15:42 “I killed them all-” I found this so funny for no reason. I also love all the little edits you make. Weewoo Patrick and Mickey got me messed up.. I JUST SAW THE SURGEON SIMULATOR THING WHILE TYPING BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@christienoliveira362]

Idea, what if you try the seraphite run. So basically you cant use old world items (take that how you want) so basically use the rules a saraphite soldier would have idk if this is a thing but sounded cool in my head

[@cassie6645]

I have played this game 4 times now and had no idea that you could feed runners to clickers!

[@bigpunisherthegreat8200]

I don't have the patience to play this shit on hard or grounded difficulty! Kudos to those of you who do or did!

[@mikaross4671]

This was a really fun watch. Had no idea you could beat the game with only throwable weapons. Sonic was also the last movie I saw before the pandemic.

[@sebastiangro5652]

Holy crap man, that "Daddy Chill" at 13:00 cought me off guard so fking hard hahahahah. Great job my man. 🤣

[@anghelasan838]

Ive been here since your start i really love your work cuz you know how to talk in a video without being annoying

[@Rockport1911]

11:04 Iam still baffled they didnt turn that Darts into a real MiniGame. But there is so much other stuff they didnt code for...

[@Lasercatss]

Awesome run man. Loved that you could get Jerry with the nail bomb, and Ellie shrapnel suit 😂

[@Vivinko]

This channel is underrated. We need to get him to 100k by the end of this year.

[@the_big_ooft]

Amazing video, playing a game with restrictions is actually the best way to learn new strats, forces you to really think outside the box. Edited because hindsight lol

[@amanglasgow6858]

I’ve always wanted to see this video! Thank you

[@jhornacek]

I love these kind of "Can you defeat X game without doing Y" or "with only doing Z" videos.

[@WasPancho]

Last thing I want in a post apocalyptic world is a man going around killing infected and people with bricks and bottles

[@Smilezado]

Hey man, great video, glad to see the channel is growing, can't wait for when you blow up, easily in my top 3 challenges yt channels.

[@lukewallace1116]

Another masterpiece. Well done

[@vladpartpart9721]

You can skip the hotel bloater, basically take the card before starting the generator and then run to the exit door after you turned the generator on, you can skip the dorm bloater and clickers too by distracting them with a brick to the other side then open the exit door (You can skip every bloater except the one in bills town)

[@Literallylilly1]

"It didnt kill David tho :(" SO REAL

“Joel here, and today we’re talking about my favorite weapon. The Molotov cocktail”

Love these challenges and the unique ways you handle them. Could you try beating the last of us with no healing. No medkits or the bandages you find throughout the run.

[@gavitron0610]

Technically a gun is just a bullet thrower.

Yay I’m glad there is another video :D

[@Cherriri]

Also tip for killing bloaters let the Molotov go all the way through and THEN throw another one cause I can kill bloaters with 2 Molotovs (although I do play on the remaster not the Part I)

[@Secretlycat31]

That is pretty incredible you did so well

You desver much more views the last of us means so much to me I hope you will do more tlou2 videos:)

[@LuisLklk]

Great video!

[@xundine]

Hey just wanted to let you know that you can skip the pittsburgh basment bloater if you memorize the path to the door and sprint to it after you activated the generator. This means you dont have to use any supplies apart from a brick if a clicker attacks you on the path to the door.

[@epiccakesgaming]

Good strategy! I usually do that and avoid the basement bloater (and most of the other ones in the game), but decided to kill them all to make the challenge harder.

[@xundine]

@@epiccakesgaming ohh right sorry. i forgot....
