I tried an ECLIPSE ONLY Offense Run, and it was HARDER than I Thought - Lethal Company Solo Gameplay

Another run I did in preparation for my next Hardcore Ironman attempt!
The difficulty with this one isn't so much in the eclipse, but in the enemies that spawn inside the facility.
Thumpers, spiders, and coilheads are pretty common here, and out out of all the free moons this one tends to be the most aggressive.
Most of the problems here though can be solved with a shovel, which is a tool I haven't used much in my time playing.
So coming to offense was a perfect opportunity to get my shovel profiency up, since I was pretty much guaranteed to face at least one thumper every time I came here.
I actually struggled quite a bit here in ways I wasn't anticipating, so I spend most of this video trying to complete the first quota.
This was the hardest eclipse only run I've done so far, but it won't be the most difficult and it won't be the last.
I have my eyes set on Rend next, so subscribe to keep up with my eclipse only runs and eventually my hardcore ironmanr runs!

Offense eclipsed is one of my favorites just because the dogs and baboon hawks always get into a fight and when that happens usually a hawk will die and repeatedly get trampled making noise letting you do whatever you want without worry

[@sheffaustin]

I can’t survive a baboon hawk to save my life so I’m glad the dogs kill them for me 🫡

[@theintruder8736]

My god. That spider + coil head tag team, appears out of nowhere with perfect comedy timing.

[@sheffaustin]

felt like the game was out to get me frfr 😂

[@kingacrisius]

Every enemy except slimes can open normal doors. It takes coilheads several seconds to open them, so you can lose agro by trapping them and running far enough away. Most enemies can open a door in less than a second after reaching one, coilheads being the main exception.

[@miloda_bess]

Coil heads from what I’ve seen take 17 seconds to get the door open, but they can open it while you are looking at them

[@APack0fWolves95]

I wish weather did actually affect the loot spawns so you have a reason to select those moons. As it is, the only reason to pick a moon with weather is if there's somehow *no* options without bad weather or you're on a paid planet and don't want to leave and waste the money.

[@Matadurr]

Same, thankfully the great mod support this game has allows it. A couple mods I’ve tried out have the functionality, and you can even set the modifiers yourself in the config file. Would be great if modifiers were added to vanilla (or at the VERY least have bad weather force loot pools more towards their max table).

[@kaelemblevins5842]

I think the idea is to force a change of plans and it's up to the crew whether they stay or move.

[@novamorph]

-coilheads are trapped by doors for a moment, they eventually break out so its good to use if youre the only one and need to look away to get out. -if a snare flea gets you, it makes you drop all your items. so if you had a shovel, you can try to pick it back up and just swinging it knocks them off your head

[@sheffaustin]

I lowkey fixated on the door being behind me despite my “grab” prompt coming up 😂 would have taken way less damage if I just grabbed the shovel instead lol

[@tdogwha]

@@sheffaustin Snare fleas also don't kill you if you are playing solo altough they will almost put you down to a critical injury.

[@coolava2952]

Fun fact about snare fleas alot of people don't know. If your holding a shovel or sign you can pick it back up off the floor and smack the snare flea off your own head when it lands on you.

[@sheffaustin]

yep should have went for this instead of the door, but it’s not very often I get snare flead near an entrance so I fixated on that instead of the more reliable option 😅 even had my grab prompt come up and everything lol

[@xyriahn]

but you also had a different item, so that might've been the other item

[@nutbutterbruh4405]

49:07 Bro its amazing how composed you remained after that, I probably wouldn't have played the game for a while after that unfairness.

[@sheffaustin]

if this happened during my actual ironman run on like a later stage moon then I’d probably be a bit upset, but since this was a practice run it was just kinda funny 😂

[@Slaking_]

49:07 is just brutal. Really hope the game gets patched so that can't happen anymore, just completely unfair especially in solo

[@NothingMeansNothingButNothing]

Tbh in coop everyone will just laugh at this, this game is about laughs after all

[@Korhi]

Technically it shouldnt happen. Landmines arent supposed to blow up when you step on them, but when you step off of them. Theyre just still bugged to sometimes blow up instantly when yoy step on them, otherwise you should be able to exit back out the door in that siuation.

[@yeetrepublic9142]

@@KorhiYeah, v47 apparently was supposed to patch it but ig it still happens

[@sheffaustin]

you blow up upon entry because of how you spawn into the interior, your character model basically gets transported down into the map an that transportation can make you crossover the landmine would be cool if it didn’t happen but it’s also funny when it does! got a good laugh out of this one still 😂

Shovel tips i found out after messing around a lot: -Snarefleas are a lot easier to hit while crouching -For Spiders walk backwards and when they come to close tap sprint (is more of a feeling thing than anything) -Hoarding bugs can be killed damageless if they are not enraged by spamming left click after the first hit -Brackens are intimidating, but very weak to strafing in a 45-90° angle -For Thumpers after the first hit, stay still while "charging" the shovel and walk backwards while swinging -For Nutcrackers, get in front of them without them seeing you, crouch and spam leftclick -For Mask walk backwards and sprint when they sprint. Have a mostly empty Inventory or they will get you (i drop all but shovel) -Dogs can either be cheesed by closing ship doors or letting them charge into a wall and constanly make noise so they perma charge -Good Luck with Baboon Hawks, but when you kill one the other ones get scared (at least for some time) I recommend to try some of these thing with the GameMaster or any other enemy spawn mod (especially Brackens and Baboon Hawks). It helped me a lot to try to kill them with Godmode and then without. Love the content and good luck with your Iron Man run

[@astronomicalidiot7442]

Does the nutcracker thing still work?

[@SamLabbato]

you could do a wiki trivia with your friends, not only to train yourself on spawn rates, power levels, and min item spawns, but for a fun video. either a questionnaire, kahoot, or jeopardy would work really well

[@The_Riot]

This video encapsulates why I find myself attracted to 21 Offense so much. It’s dangerous as hell, demanding absolute faith in your head and your shovel, but damn if that loot doesn’t taste sweeter when it’s pried from the jaws of a dead thumper or bunker spider.

[@sheffaustin]

as someone who didn’t use a shovel much prior to this run, I am now a fan of going to offense simply to justify bringing a shovel lol

[@Tariqblox1]

They should buff offense since the loot sucks like it’s worse then assurance and it’s way to dangerous

Challenge Idea: The Helpless Solo Ironman So basically, its a Solo Eclipsed Ironman challenge, but with a twist - no stun grenades, bottled flashes, shovels, zap guns, stop signs, or even yield signs. So basically, no self-defense is allowed. Let's see just how much you've improved in the past few weeks. Also, wanted to express my appreciation for your content; keep up the excellent work and that spectacular upload schedule!

iron man but you can only buy planets (so no store) all eclipsed you need to do this 2 times in a row with out dying once you have to get at least 4 Pices of loot on each planet so no skipping planets more planets: orion, Aquatis, kast, (kast is now 700 cus 1k is too much) and atlas_abyss and inside monsters can go outside

I've only just started the video, but closing doors on coilheads is still worth it almost 100% of the time if you can. They can open them, but it takes long enough that you can run for a while without worrying about looking behind you. Since you never know what other monsters will get in your way, the more doors closed between you and the coilhead, the better.

hey! yeah coilheads can open doors! the door will also open faster if there are multiple, ideally in the situation you had where you killed the thumper while the coilhead was trapped you would want to go back to where you trapped it and open and close the door to reset their progress opening it, also keep in mind when you have a coilhead trapped you can use the time to escape their aggro range! and in case you didnt know sand fleas can also open doors! love the videos, ty sm for the frequent content! ❤❤❤

Giants on Offense are funny as hell. The Only time I ever got one I tried to bait it away bringing back loot when my teammate thought I was dead because they heard me say giant and left me behind on pipe without checking monitor.. Think it was before the spotting nerf though, I could hardly lose him if I recall so I had to run back and forth trying to bait him near fire. Seems like it'd be a very brutal map for them, unless you can just get someone on the pipe to keep them occupied next to fire exit.

the best part about seeing someone play the same moon over and over is getting to see them encounter the rare events like giant spawns on offense because with a 4% chance most players who play a variety of moons and only play casually don't really see that and wouldn't be prepared for it

[@SAmaryllis]

Lots of successful pipe jumps! :D Man you really got unlucky with those giant spawns lol (and the fire exit landmine omg), but it was a good chance to practice the worst case scenario, I guess 🤭

25:10 something I've noticed is if you look forward instead of down, you actually drop items further out from yourself, useful for them not getting caught on stuff.

[@sheffaustin]

did that in my Assurance upload today! 🫡

[@TheMayonnayse]

Have you thought about not killing the lower power level enemies like the snare fleas? When you kill them, it frees up power level for other possibly more dangerous enemies to spawn.

[@sheffaustin]

yeah and that’s usually why I don’t kill spiders since they take up 3 whole power levels just to chill in a corner somewhere I was killing everything on this run though for practice

[@TheMayonnayse]

​@sheffaustingames More exposure therapy huh lol. My friend and I learned the hard way on experimentation when a nutcracker replaced a snare flee 😢

[@birbiq.]

Small tip for dropping items off the pipe- look straight instead of down. drops it a significant amount further.

[@sheffaustin]

did that in my Assurance video today’

[@Syznz]

Yeah, takes Coil Heads around 10 seconds to open doors if they're on their own. I haven't tested myself if multiple Coil Heads trying to get through the same door speeds that process up a bit, or if it just prioritizes the one closest to the door itself, might try that out later if I get a double/triple spawn and come here to edit this incase you see it. Still worth trapping them though, especially on Mansion maps where they're far more dangerous to contest with.

[@sunnybunny406]

Did you ever try it out?

[@diakitty4652]

[@sheffaustin]

they have a doorSpeedMultiplier of 0.06, which probably translates to that timeframe

[@sheffaustin]

nah it wasn’t a mixup with the security doors, I’ve seen in older Lethal Company guides that you could lock coilheads behind unlocked doors in solo play and every coilhead interaction I’ve had up until this run was consistent with that, so I had no reason to question it until now Never used the security door strats because I’ve never played with a group that actually uses the terminal 😂

[@Sopsy_Hallow]

unrelated but im curious, as someone who plays the game a lot, do you think 4 inv slots is the right number? i havent played that much and usually play w mods where i changed it to 5 cuz i feel like 4 is so little, but ig it might just be cuz im inexperianced and dont know how to use them properly, so i wonder what someone more experianced would think

[@sheffaustin]

I think 4 inventory slots is fine! I also used to play with 5-6 slots back when mods were new and it was nice while I was still new to the game but after a while I just felt way too strong having that/those extra slot(s) I think the real “right number” though is whatever helps someone enjoy the game better! that’s why there are tens of thousands of mods available for the game, both for increasing and decreasing the difficulty and quality of life for your playing experience. Only reason I play mostly without mods is because I want to show people what’s possible in a mostly vanilla playthrough, but I was an avid mod enjoyer prior to gaining a following on youtube

[@Rukifellth2792]

A challenge that I enjoy doing: The Iron Quota You must play the moons in sequential order, but you must also stay on each moon for a full quota before moving to the next. Experimentation x3, Company, Assurance x3, Company, etc. You are only allowed to buy things from the store while at the company building between quotas (unless you're using the pod as a distraction & not retrieving the items). Finally, an additional goal is to complete the bestiary by scanning all 17 scannable enemies (excluding mimic/girl). If you happen to beat this, you can continue into an NG+ kinda mentality and loop back to Experimentation to see how long you can keep it going. In retrospect, the Iron Quota is on par, albeit a bit easier than Iron Man since you're not rushed to have 550 by the first quota in order to afford Rend. However, it makes up for it by forcing you to survive for 8 quotas. Hardcore Iron Quota is something I would place above Hardcore Iron man b/c at that point, you'll have to survive 24 Eclipses in a row to win vs just 8 with Iron Man.

[@sheffaustin]

I do this in my Nuzlocke challenge! or at least try to, lol. The difference being I’m required to bring whatever store item that I rolled with me I actually think the Iron Quota/Nuzlocke is easier than the Ironman because of how much time you have to accumulate loot between moons. That applies to the hardcore variants too, as I’m learning that eclipses aren’t as dangerous as I originally thought. But it does take more time and patience because of how many more days you have to play in order to complete the challenge, and a slip up in these runs hurts more because of how much time was invested into it compared to an Ironman I made it to Titan on my first real go on the Nuzlocke and died on the last day. Which was basically 3+ hours down the drain lol (video coming eventually) I will likely start doing these Iron Quota/Nuzlocke runs once I’ve done all the Ironman ones though! Because they’re fun in a different way and I’ve enjoyed the attempts I’ve done so far. Just have a different plan for how I present them on video which is why I’m doing these runs first

[@Rukifellth2792]

@@sheffaustin Oh no doubt that it is easier given the fact that, like you said, there's much more time to accrue loot. Iron man's difficulty comes from having to gather a bunch of loot out of the gate and maximize efficiency while Iron Quota's comes from the required endurance. Iron quota does ramp up in difficulty fast if you try to continue it into the NG+ territory. Trying to meet a 2k+ quota while being limited to Experimentation + your remaining loot from the final ~1700ish quota. (Haven't been able to do that yet). I'm nowhere near the skill level required to do hardcore yet. Doing Iron Quota is forcing me to become slightly more comfortable with Eclipses though. My first run (which was done yesterday) ended up with 6 Eclipses throughout, and I dislike Rend Eclipsed. Completed my second run about an hour ago and managed land an eclipse on all 3 T3's which the jetpack made more manageable. Given that I haven't tried hardcore on either IM/IQ, I can't say for certain how their difficulties compare to eachother. IM is harder than IQ, but I assumed that the HIQ's 24 Eclipse streak would cause it to become harder than a HIM. If you don't mind me asking though, how do you treat death in an Iron man/quota run? If you die, but are still able to meet the quota in the remaining days, do you allow yourself to save the run, or does death just equal game over? I assume that in hardcore it's 1 life only, but what about normal? Also, could you elaborate a bit more on the whole required to bring item thing?

It takes 27 seconds for a coilhead to open a door. You can lose agro if they lose sight of you.

[@kingacrisius]

40:00 You saw the baboon hawk spawn in. Outdoor enemies climb out of the ground when they spawn.

[@kingacrisius]

Well I've never seen an eyeless dog spawn in, but I assume they do the same.

[@sheffaustin]

dogs an giants do the same too!

[@Corey10002]

I usually climb up on top of the ship and do the jump, you'll usually land it everytime.

I did an eclisped only iron man with my friends and offense was the worst planet. Out of 5 hours the challange took us, we spent 3 on offense to get a decent run

[@gamer-bp6ig]

new player here, what exactly are the benefits of going to the fire exits instead of the main entrances?

[@sheffaustin]

sometimes the fire exit is less dangerous than the main entrance, either because of the enemies inside the facility or the ones outside. For Offense and especially during an eclipse, the fire exit is super safe since none of the outdoor monsters can get you. You can also check fire exits if you’re not finding enough loot by the main entrance. Sometimes a look at the interior from a different perspective can be super helpful. I hope you enjoy the game! Being a new player is a fun time :)

Heres a tip for hording bugs, justxgive them a key and they will straight up lead you to there nest, so you can wait until your gonna leave so u can kill them and take the loot they collected

[@dogonaplane111]

It's also not worth picking fights with non-aggressive hording bugs because you risk taking unwanted damage

[@stuntfumbler]

sooo do coilheads open doors on solo then? every source of lethal company info needs to be updated if so...

[@Rice871]

Idea: solo eclipsed moon ironman challenge but you cant use the store

[@Chicken_demise]

Honestly I do titan so much on regular and eclipsed it’s getting easier but it’s hard getting loot back to ship

[@justinbrentwood1299]

Can confirm, doors don't lock up coil heads.

[@sheffaustin]

yeah they have a doorSpeedMultiplier of 0.06 so it just takes them a while

[@BradenPitts]

I was wondering why you started grabbing loot right by the hoarding bug lol

[@vqqiu2179]

afaik solo play doesn't affect coilheads, they can still open doors after a timer

[@Watermeloncat580]

can you do march next? if you did not make a new one

[@El_Ratones]

Pretty sure that eclipsed actually increases total power level which is why it is also bad for the inside Edit: One more thing if you get an extension ladder on the pipe you can drop directly onto the ship also if you are allowing this if you place the ladder right you can drop stuff ontop of the ship and then by jumping on the cupboard you can pick stuff up from in the ship :)

[@sheffaustin]

eclipse only affects outdoor spawns, in that they can soawn off rip rather than at ~3pm onward. the max indoor and outdoor power levels are unaffected, though I wouldn’t mind if they were (can change this with mods). I would absolutely allow that ship + ladder strat though, so thanks for the tip! 🫡

What’s that danger sound that you mean? I’ve never heard it
