Ghostrunner - Wish I Knew Sooner | Tips, Tricks, and Game Knowledge For New Players

Ghostrunner is one of the most exhilarating platforming games I've ever played, but it's definitely not for the faint of heart. A few tricks, maybe a tip or two and you'll be well on your way to beating the campaign. Codiak is back with a new video and today he's sharing everything he wished he knew sooner about Ghostrunner.

Y are the crosses there like omg

[@Denji23]

I might be late but anyway. There is an enemy type who summons 4 copys of him (in the video at 6:50), all of them die when you kill the original, you can spot the original when you do your sensory boost in this mode the original looks different.

You might as well give up then the rest of the game is fucking hard

On like level 5 I think I had 160 deaths about, it's a pretty tough game but a lot of fun when you finally beat the part.

[@PaulBlxck]

@@wcskeleton1388 No. Do not give on the game. As hard as it is, it is fucking incredible. It's an amazing experience as frustrating as it may be at times. I'm shit at the game, but what helps keep me going back to i is knowing that 99.9% of my deaths are my own fault; the game is far in that regard. It is 100% worth the grind in my opinion.

[@mattor300]

Some advanced tips here from beta tester: 1. play the game fast, the faster you move the harder it will be for enemies to hit you and easier to double kill enemies with a single swing 2. Tempest is a panic button that's true. But blink gives you the same versality (kills enemies and saves you from bullets) but has 1 advantage: it repositions you. Thanks to it you can blink hight pioryty targets while saving your mobility and getting into advantageous position 3. Slide boost is a thing if you don't know how to do it here's how: while running you slide and at the moment you feal your momentum is the highest (at the beginning of the slide) you jump. Train it for 10min and you should get it. 4. Advanced dash boost: you can get momentum so huge that it lets you skip Manny jumps that normally you whould need to use grapple for plus it's your best tool for moving fast here's how you do it: first learn slide boost, when you start feeling it well you can start adding dashes before slide so you dash then imidietly slide and jump gaining enormous momentum. 5. The easy approach is boring if you think about it as a puzzle then you will surrender on hard mode just goo in at full speed remember where enemies are and slash everything at full speed. Why I said remember where they are? Because you don't need to see them in order to kill them. You can turn roughly at their last position and if they are there you will kill them.

[@polzy8208]

I'm amazed! I figured most of them by myself while playing. Thanks tho, new players need to know these.

[@jasonsantiago6308]

Excellent video, learned some stuff and the editing and gameplay are high quality

[@stivodonnell2497]

I came for tips ,not to see parts of the game I hadn't yet seen , you could've easily stuck with footage of the first 3 missions I cant unsee this GOOD JOB

[@S_OXYDE_S]

Personally I'm a big fan of surge and for a long time I thought blink was useless because most of the time you couldn't lock onto multiple enemies but then I started searching stuff up and watching youtube and I've found if someone can use it right blink can be deadly and I've seen it used to beat some areas I struggled with a lot, after seeing this I honestly don't think there are any ability's that are superior to each other because each can be used in different situations but you'll definitely find a favourite and I do have to say tempest is extremely handy I think if your struggling on an area though try using an ability you don't use a lot maybe even upgrade yourself to enhance the ability because you never know it might be your next favourite ability

[@munkyzunkle1781]

Best. Tips. Ever!!! I knew I was missing something about dash, but it felt so inconsistent that trial and error was not helping. Your explanation is exactly what I needed to progress -- Thank You!

[@-goatqueen6817]

Thank you so much for this video! I played for the first time yesterday and died 160 times on the tutorial level. 😅 I'll give these tips a try, as well as switch from my controller to my keyboard and mouse and see if that changes anything.

[@justagenosfan]

If some of you haven't yet tried the game, there's a demo you can play for free

[@dookan755]

But I mean, trailers and reviews say it all

[@jacobshanholtzer5532]

thank you

[@ethankent592]

blink is the best it can help carry momentum and sweep rooms. Also there is an upgrade that can allow you to use the ability twice which can be crazy to help you move through a room

[@ethankent592]

also loading up on dashes is essential. minimum 2

[@tft1013]

Im playing it right now just saw a speedrunner doing the second mission and..god did it make me feel like shit

[@grendel6005]

i noticed that to take care of the guys that make holograms of themselves, you used surge or would slice all of them until you got the real one. as a quick tip, when in sensory boost the real one is easily distinguishable.

[@charliehenderson1010]

Another tip (for any apex players you’ll know this), you can get a huge speed boost if you slide off the very edge of any object I.e. ledges and boxes!

[@patrikkleinsmith6838]

You sir have no idea how much you have just saved me lol. I'm a BIG Apex player (Octain Main) and can not play Apex due to where we just moved (satellite linked wifi)and this games is GREAT in my opinion but THIS tip just got me through literally 20 levels almost perfectly

[@jerichosamurai]

I like the boss on gatekeeper. It was interesting. Not even really a fight, just a difficult puzzle. Those lasers were definitely a pain in the ass but I got through it a lot faster than I recon most people did. I haven't died more than like 50 times in any level so far. I also rarely use sensory boost, I just force myself to gain faster reaction times.

[@CowboyCookhouse]

I highly agree with these tips, I love this game

[@krmag556]

Least number I died was 14, the highest was 402 :')

[@zipjacketgamer1097]

good job on the advice

[@zipjacketgamer1097]

ty you

[@grardo]

One tip I would recommend people. Is do a few main story missions to adapt to the mechanics and then go to the Wave Run. It's pretty good to get to know enemies, their weaknesses and ways to beat them. It's challenging but as it's a close space you have to learn how to deal with enemies fast. In my case I focus more on dash upgrades because I rarely use the skills apart from blink and I rarely find a situation where blink actually saves my lige

[@cipher2956]

i'm playing the game right now and omg you are correct tactical overlay is very imprtant i dont think i can play the game without it

[@robertyang4365]

I'm new to the game and I'm a bit confused about the cooldown timer/meter on the bottom left hand corner. There's meter that fills up the sides of the hexagon, and there's the hexagon itself that fills up as well. It seems like both have to be full for you to use your special abilities. What's the difference between the two meters and how do they fill up?

[@ReSpark141]

seeing the way he plays reminds me just how completely different people can play, my playstyle involves maxing out my fov and abusing the sliding and air dash to max out my speed to an almost unstable level

[@aquinias171]

Pro tip for gatekeeper if you look up at the start you can see a grapple spot wich will let you skip part of it

[@leonmessa7977]

this is just my opinion on the specifics of this game, as someone who has completed the game I can say that upgrades don't rly matter as I forgot about them most of the game. as for the abilities, I used them as sparingly as possible, sometimes not at all on some levels. my next tip is to master the movement, from playing through the game I've learned that your sensory boost and dash abilities recharge instanly whenever you touch a surface, so, use these to your advantage movement wise, also learn slide cancelling too it will be very useful. and lastly, this is more of a suggestion , but I only used sensors boost when dodging projectiles and in some mid air puzzled.once again this is just my input and you could totally disagree with me and that's fine.

[@gc6867]

Bro I haven't upgraded my character once and I finished the game not knowing I could. Bruh.

Talk about playing on hard mode lol

[@kyleb1958]

I'm almost at the end and i didn't know till now either 😅

[@twilight_mourner1865]

How 'bout the ledge jump? If you dash or slide over a ledge, you maintain the momentum You can also cross over large gaps with this speedrun technique There's also the Dash->Slide->Jump technique that makes you jump over MASSIVE distances (with the right timing) that has saved ALOT of time for speedrunners and for normal players!

[@LegacyGamingUS]

Really solid advice!

[@envy.2782]

@@LegacyGamingUS With DSJ alone, my time on Level 1 went from 4:00 to 1:29. It's an extraordinary technique

[@SmalluwuFish]

for the TOM boss fight (the big robot one) find shortcuts it helped me for the TOM boss fight

[@caos1925]

one of the biggest problems I think tho, is the inconsistency, sure treat enemies like a puzzle but that puzzle changes, you can do the exact same thing two times in a row and something different will happen.

[@zenmaster8]

I highly reccomend Tempest Refund. As long as you kill 2 enemies in one tempest, you get another one immediately

[@MrDavi2006]

One of the best movement Tricks is bhopping, for me one of the best tricks tbh you could go way faster than the normal speed

[@ScreamyBanana]

I personally use Double-Blink and easy Deflect for less deaths when deflecting

[@mrspacebun]

My current build = TCO2, TCO, DHCN, DHBTF, DFBT, DFRT and finally Aim Time Boost Got no Q ability upgrades cuz they are pretty good even at base level, i'm not claiming that i have mastered the game but this build should work the best when you're starting to get good = No need for a panic button just pure skill

correction, the game does have difficulty. You can play through the game in assist mode. I used it to fight HEL through Adam (Architect)

[@Prophet-xl4zm]

I died 7 times on the first mission I will use these tips to die less thanks

[@blueface6069]

I'm way late to the game but the biggest tip I can give is to not be afraid to put the controller down. Especially on that one level (People who have played the game will know which level I'm talking about). If you're stuck on something sometimes it's best to take a break and get back at it later with a fresh mindset. Another tip I can give, for the walking robots who shoot the line of barrels at you: the best way I've figured out how to deal with them is to get as close as possible before they fire, jump and use the bullet-time trick to dodge. The closer you are the shorter that line is.

[@LegacyGamingUS]

Genuinely laughed at "That one level."

[@godlyname8544]

I was wondering why was so hard for me. I didn't use sensory boost not once. I guess I skipped the part they tell you about it.

[@endfel3561]

I have a question. Is there a way possible to start a new game while having ur other game that u can continue? Like a save slot

[@smik5304]

There seems to be only one save slot, which is nice for completion, but it makes it impossible to completely start fresh without going into your saves and manually deleting the file. I could be wrong tho

[@aidanlitchfield4497]

If you dash slide then jump quickly you will get amazing speed

[@lucapietrangeli270]

I hope they add dlc to the game. Even if the story sucks id be happy to find new ways to play. Itd be sick if players could make their own maps

[@sonyviva308]

Why are there only like 600 views?

[@Eric_Nomad_Hixtone]

IMO Tempest is good aginst the robots but blink is way better bc 1) you do not need a skill to hit a target 2) larger area of effect 3) you reposition urself 4) time is slower 5) you AVOID ALL damage while templest will send back one bullet 6) targets are rarely close to each other to get em by a wave + blink have more distance while its wider in terms of the hitbox 7) back in 3 i said u may change ur location by the blink, and it helps to get through some obsticles while Tempest does not allow this. 8) Just like 3rd ability, this one is ranged while less then the third, but still! Tempest is nearly point blank.TBH i can't say why people like Tempest so much, it's a trash, I never could deflect in the oppoent and the bullet was sent anywhere but enemy i could not delete a few foes standing somewhat ranged - tempest can get 2 targets only if too close, it still put you in a risk and get give you a free of the jail card.
