Its just golden run bro, you are pro. I play that game about 20 years and know how very very hard to complete RTCW only knife. So many times u spend on this, and its gorgeous, you deserve a gold medal for dat sh*t. And so many many hours on montage. I'm afraid to even imagine it

[@Tineard]

Thanks :) To be fair, montage was relatively easy part. In this run, the hardest thing was to create the route, to at least somewhat reliably kill all enemies. Execution was not easy, sure, especially in places where enemies get few shots, but finding ways to reach some - that was the real deal. Just one (out of probably 100) example - in bombed factory, last 2 paratroopers go inside the corridor, then come back. That's not something normal player even would know happens, because normally you can snipe those 2 from far away, or move closer and kill them. So - it took quite a few attempts to understand, how to move ahead and where to stay, so they "get scared". Compared to all that, montage was easy :)

[@capu4516]

This is a great run! I have also done a melee only RTCW run but on the PS2 version of the game. My run is also a spliced run with similar amount of saves (5-15 per stage) as yours. Notably in my run, I don't kill every enemy, but I do play on hardest difficulty and get every secret and treasure item (+secrets actually are beneficial for your survivability in many ways). I found the PS2 version to be much more melee only friendly and I think a non-spliced run is just about possible in that version.

thank you. must say, though, at least melee runs do not require long-term planning, unlike cinematic ones or ones where you are very limited in ammo - but still use it. here it's just arena-to-arena type of gameplay, and while true, some places took a few hours to get right, not to mention it's my 2nd attempt of this type of run, so I learned a lot from the first one (and honestly, I didn't do things perfectly here either, for example I took damage twice, while instead I could use chairs to explode barrels), but in the end, it's faster than most of other my runs, because you don't need to complete game few times before going for the main run - just to route everything :)

Is it impossible to kill the "Proto soldier" at 3:24:31 with melee or knife so you used the Thompson?

[@Tineard]

yes, sadly I didn't have enough space to write about every exception in detail. well, in short - if that prototype takes position near the ladder, it's pretty much impossible to kill him with knife - because I cannot lure him out or move him in any way. there is a theoretical possibility to get to him fast, skipping every enemy on lower level and bunny-hopping, then I can reach it before it starts moving and - maybe - it's possible to somehow make him stuck by standing in his way before he starts shooting (if you crawl without hitting it once it will miss you), but then you'd have to consider not only somehow holding it, but all soldiers around. maybe some sort of tas can do this - but I don't think it's humanly possible (if possible at all, I never could get it stuck for any decent amount of time anyway).

@@168toretiro I wouldn't completely exclude anything, without even trying, but upper level seem to be way too high for this to work. I mean, who knows, maybe one actually can make the first prototype fall down somehow - and then you can try positioning yourself, so that static prototype is between upper one and you, so it gets damaged from time to time. But that implies, that there could be a way to make upper one fall, which I'm not sure if even possible.

@@oldstreetgamesosgpg6316 well, when making videos I have additional motivation, because other people will see it, that certainly helps me get through hardest places. And I must say, sometimes viewers can't really guess, which places are really the hardest, because they not look like they are. For example - 1:13:47 took ton of time, because first enemy is very hard to catch off guard, then it's a lottery of dodging bullets of 2nd one, then very tricky jump to avoid 3rd one and then very precise movements to catch him on reload. Or Dam at 2:48:13 - it has hidden mechanics of activating alarm if next dude dies before one on a tower, plus if I kill that guy, then save+reload, it'll activate alarm as well - and the only way to avoid that is to clear entire top of the Dam in one go, only saving before the radio room.

3:24:53 there isn't a way of killing him with knife or kicks?

[@Tineard]

I couldn't find any. there definitely isn't, when it reaches the spot before ladder - at this point it cannot move, and it will not miss me, and I'll lose damage race. There might be a possible way of getting it stuck before it reaches that point, by very quickly jumping through water area below, then climbing ladder fast - but there are several problems, like having all soldiers alive and shooting at me. Before damaging prototype once, it actually misses me, if I'm crouching, so maybe, with some perfect input it's possible to somehow corner it, or make it stuck near wooden beam, where it starts - but even trying this without some tool assist is too insane, it might not even be a working strategy anyway. But that's the best thing I can propose so far.

[@RonHutchCraft2]

the bombed out factory at kugelstadt that's where you started taking damage. and there were at least two alarms in the very beginning of the game.

[@Tineard]

well, such runs are always implying "if possible" - and in some places I coudn't find a way to avoid some exceptions. to be fair, 2 places where I was hit by barrels - in that factory and in chapter 1-2 - now I realize, those were actually avoidable, I could use chairs to throw at those barrels to explode them. but, you know, redoing entire run for that is not worth the effort. taking fall damage in pre-factory stage, as well as exploding myself to get higher does seem unavoidable if I want that sniper kill. alarms in 1-2 and 1-3 are scripted, no matter if you're fast and/or sneaky. so, yes, it's technically impossible to do no-alarms run. but keeping it minimal is what run's intention is :)

[@DavidKFZ]

I'd say one of the most insane runs of ANY game I've ever seen I'm very curious, what was the hardest part out of the whole thing?

[@Tineard]

Well, depends on definition of "hardest". If it's about number of attempts - 1:13:47 takes the prize, in that place I have to catch first soldier on changing weapons, which he only does at precise time, then survive random shots from 2nd soldier, as I run towards him, then survive burst from 3rd one as I hide and finally to somehow catch him in the corridor - and he very often either runs away or aggroed 4th guy, which makes it impossible for me to kill both in that open space. And there is nowhere to save in the middle. But a lot of places took a lot of attempts, just to understand what to do and how to do it. After getting the hang of it, most places became reasonable. In that sense, sequence at 3:21:20 was kinda the hardest one, because I never solved that one, and had to kill one enemy with firearms (or I could just skip him), while I'm still not 100% if it is impossible. Finally, if we're talking about which places took the most, well, skill - it's something like 2:05:31 where I had to do make one enemy go almost out of bullets, then make 2nd one hurt himself and then make few very precise jumps to avoid both. There are quite a few similar moments of all 3 types, gotta say, but these are my most memorable, at least.

[@DavidKFZ]

@@Tineard damn dude, incredible. Thanks for your considered response, I'm going over those parts and appreciating them even more.

Bro if i'm gonna start a war you're the general

[@TheRenalicious]

Oh man, the AI in this game is hilarious! I guess it wasn't scripted for an all stealth run. Radar in particular had me laughing at the enemies rushing through the door, single file. And getting knocked off the ladders. Those jump kicks too... BJ definitely didn't skip out on leg day :D Those SS "elite soldiers" missing every shot was interesting. Was it mainly luck? Or did you somehow find a way to manipulate their aim?

[@Tineard]

well, again, it depends on what place we're talking about. usually, distance matters a lot - and to be honest, automatic weapon have very poor accuracy from far distance, both for me and enemies, even on highest difficulty - so at ~10 meters there is a fair chance for them to miss 10 bullets in a row (after that stan overheats and MP4 guys may start reloading if I hide). At close distances they can be very precise though. Luckily, there are very few places where I have to take several bullets in a row. And most of them I simply got done by saving/loading a lot until I got lucky - like at the end of rocket station that last dude on top, or in a middle of SWF - where I had to jump up dodging 2 enemies. That one place was possible one of the most difficult in that sense - I had to time my jumps exactly, so soldier in front of me reloads just as I get close, not before or after. So yeah, it's a combo of keeping distance, counting bullets and being lucky.

[@Tineard]

Also, accuracy is dramatically lowered on their first shot - and they also can use one last bullet after I hide behind some corner. So tactic of showing myself and quickly hiding can be pretty effective. But it's practically last resort - everything else has to fail for me to try and do that.

[@TheRenalicious]

@@Tineard I found the Bombed Factory at 1h:51, 1h:53, and 1h:54 pretty amazing with regards to "Stormtrooper accuracy" Trainyards at ~2h:00, 2h:02:19, 2h:11:15, 2h:13:30 (I can kind of see because they're so far away) Personally I always dreaded those levels because of how quickly I got cut down by all those gunners. Super impressive strategies in x-labs too!

[@Tineard]

@@TheRenalicious I guess the worst places are 02:00:01 and 02:02:16 - because I had to get close to them as they start reloading, so last few bullets were inevitable shot when I was close. Altho, at the first place at least I could hide below for the most part - so not only distance was protecting me, but obstacles as well. Frist 3 places you mentioned - accuracy is not actually a big problem on that roof, much bigger challenge there is getting those guys into position I want for later - because sometimes they do not retread if I don't approach them a bit. And sometimes they go too far to the left and also stay there. That stage overall is probably the hardest one tactically, since I have to account pretty much for all enemies from the start - because a lot of them are on the upper floor from the very beginning. And so to minimize risks, I had to try and take out those enemies 1 by 1 with all sorts of different strategies.

[@Tineard]

well, I can't say for sure without quite a lot of testing, but if conditions are not to use kicks or knife, but it's ok to skip enemies - main choke points will be stealth parts (do we have luger with silencer in the forest?), and probably places like supersoldiers in the lab and before the dig site. if there is enough ammo to clear those places, it's most likely possible, since most normal enemies can be killed with 1-2 headshots.

10:52 those soldiers triggered the alarm...

[@Tineard]

true. but they work differently from any other soldiers - alarm is triggered few moments after they notice you, even for a briefest moment. normally, enemies have several alarm states, and only after they are themselves are aggroed they might trigger alarm. but here, even when their curiocity peaks, that's it. there is no way to reach them in time. Shooting them also wouldn't work, sound would aggro others. Maybe - in theory - with silencer it would be possible, but we don't have that yet. and even then, probably wouldn't work.

[@revisionistfrontier]

Have you considered doing a run where you have to kill as few enemies as possible to win the game? Think sort of like Doom Pacifist, only you do that in this game. I am not certain how realistic a perfect no-kill run would be, which I suppose would be a matter of completing the game whilst claiming as few lives as possible. This would no doubt require a combination of speedrunning and stealth gameplay, depending on which part of the game you are at.

[@Tineard]

I almost never play games with minimal kills - unless it's something, where it's truly painful to fight, like in re8 on max difficulty. I had few thoughts about it, but in the end, such run will come down to just being lucky and avoiding shots of most of the enemies, then running through them as they reload, probably. Most likely, it is possible to kill no enemies, except ones that kill each other/themselves and except ones that are part of scripted kill counter, like in chapter 1-2. That's not something I would consider fun - that reminds me of worst parts of knife run, where I could not find any fast way of approaching and had to eat full mag of bullets from far distance before getting close to some enemies. Thankfully, there only were very few of them, but for pacifist type of run, that would be a constant struggle. Too much RNG :)

[@revisionistfrontier]

@@Tineard I seem to recall beating the first level once a long time ago without killing anybody, though that took quite a few tries, as I would usually get caught out somewhere -- usually at the part where the floor is being shot to pieces. Getting through that part in itself is not hard, but when you have been taking bullets from various Germans, including a nearby sniper, sometimes your health level is not able to resist much more. Of course, I understand that some areas are going to be just about impossible to win without killing anybody -- think boss fights, but also strong enemies that happen to stand in a narrow pathway -- which is why I lightened the Pacifist rules from Doom from no kills to few kills. By the way, have you ever seen that video of the guy who beats Heinrich I with a knife? Do you think you could have taken him on without sustaining damage?

[@Tineard]

@@revisionistfrontier as I said, quite a few places require several kills to advance. like 2 supersoldiers before dig site have to die. About last boss - well, you sure it wasn't me, beating him with kicks only? I did that, before I became aware of the instant kill trick. It's possible to do with saves/loads during the fight, but it's quite hard to avoid every single stone. There are probably certain safe spots, and it's most likely possible to train hard enough to beat him without any damage taken - but meh, I don't think it's worth it for me. Maybe someone else can do it :)

[@revisionistfrontier]

@@Tineard The last little while, I have been trying to figure out how to beat Village 2 while killing as few enemies as possible. Some of these evasions require good timing/quick aim, but also luck that the AI does not react in a certain way. Quite honestly, I sometimes have no clue why the enemy reacts in some cases, but not others. Sometimes I can walk right up to an enemy and they die without seeing me, but other times it feels as though they have psychic powers and can sense me, and proceed to react accordingly. Like in the first level, the two guys standing around the furnace will sometimes be easy enough to kill with a knife, other times they will see me as soon as I step inside. One time, I was pacing around the courtyard outside, and I heard a bang coming from inside, followed by the two guys -- who apparently "knew" I was there, despite not alerting anybody else -- coming out after me. I also take it that the Steam version of Return to Castle Wolfenstein is different than the Vanilla version. Some scenes that are obviously different -- not counting Heinrich I not approaching the tunnel in the Steam version -- include 2:29:20 where the Loper appears to wait for you. Back in the Vanilla version that I owned, if you walked slowly to the glass, so as to not alert him while he was killing the scientist, he would automatically jump downstairs and help the other loper kill the second scientist. In the Steam version, he just waits for you no matter what you do. Likewise, it used to be easy killings on the first level by shooting from the courtyard, as it would prompt the two officers in the radio room to come upstairs and jump to their deaths. On the Steam version, I have only managed to do this once. In the X-Labs, a second monster that I noticed has gotten smarter is the first Prototype most people encounter. When playing the original, it was possible to keep shooting him from a corner until he died, but in the Steam version, not only does he not fall for that trick, but on one occasion he even jumped to the bottom floor near the manual book room, knowing that I would have to face him when emerging from my hiding place. The Ubersoldat boss is also much smarter in regards to campers shooting him from the health pack section, forcing players to kill him more or less as he was intended. I suspect that the AI was designed to be somewhat smarter in the Steam version than the original, so I suppose if one wanted to limit their kill count, the original AI is probably the best way to go. Strangely enough, I had more difficulty beating the original AI than the Steam one, though that is probably only because I was less experienced with FPS games twenty years ago, and I was far more easily intimidated by certain levels than I would be today.

@@revisionistfrontier about 2 guys in first level - somehow I could only sneak in unnoticed when coming in right as door is being opened. If done later, when it's fully opened, they aggro. Maybe it makes some noise after it fully opens, or maybe it's something weird with their line of sight. Can't comment on old version of the game, played it very long time ago. But behavior of enemies is quite logical - even tho it's scripted in certain areas. But normally, enemies have several levels of alertness, which change based on what they heard or saw. So, a lot of the time, if they react better than usual is because they heard shots or loud steps before. But other times it's just scripted, like for tram level in the room with lever.

that place took the most attempts in the entire run. there is just no good place to hide, and can't neither wait, since bridge will fall, nor just rush both.

[@statuszone9550]

[@Tineard]

No target would change enemy behavior dramatically, that wouldn't even be fun :) And with godmode I wouldn't take damage.. which I did few times, where its unavoidable. And if I'd turn it on and off in random places.. what would be the point of doing it? It would not look better than normal run for sure xD

[@damianzxcvbnm1403]

And it's not melee only. You use Thompson in The Dig map. So your title is fake.

[@Tineard]

yawn. maybe you could read the description or other comments first, where everything is explained. even why the title is the way it is. I understand, it might be tempting to appear very attentive and smart, but making claims without doing even a bit of research makes you look bad instead to anyone who did. same lack of research for uber soldier - you clearly don't know how it uses weapons nor you tried to make it not use tesla on purpose. and yet instead of asking, you go ahead with accusations, as if you know. ew.

@@Tineard This is title of your video: "[Return to Castle Wolfenstein] Melee Only. All Enemies/Secrets. No Damage/Alarms. Full Run." MELEE ONLY. So for you Thompson is melee.

[@Tineard]

@@damianzxcvbnm1403 yes, and if I wouldn't do that, then "all enemies" part would be wrong. and there are 2 unavoidable alarms in the run, so that part is not true either. The point of the run is to get to the limit of what is doable with melee only, and shooting to enemies is my limit. If exceptions would invalidate the entire run, there would be no run, or they would be with a lot less conditions, making it a lot less impressive, since it would open options for cheesing a lot of stuff. And getting all that nuance into 100 symbols that YT title allows is impossible. I can barely fit my conditions there as it is. And last, but not least, you do realize, that I used Thompson specifically after clearing the entire area and sneaking past that prototype, to show that it was clearly doable, then killing it just for the kill count, not because I couldn't get through somehow, right? Like.. did you stop for a moment to think, why I did this, and whether I had to do it or not?

More precisely I meant "no unavoidable damage". Technically you're right, but in spirit my run fits, since I could simply avoid that. It's a hard truth for almost every melee run - there is always that 1 (or 5) place, where you have to break the rule.

those later levels are filled with places where I have to take at least some heat. but one thing is good, enemies always miss their first shot. and that previous guy that you commented on has particularly low accuracy at first, his coming from behind crates is scripted. he's one of rare enemies who has accuracy somewhat influenced at first. another such guy is at the dam, after you get out of the duct, close to the end. he has literally 100% accuracy, missing only with first shot. but I killed him in a way that doesn't really show that. but it's still interesting thing to know.

Don't overestimate how accurate some enemies are, and keep in mind, that in certain places I saved then loaded before performing certain bullet dodges, for example at the Trainyard after entering the complex. Also, no matter how accurate enemies may be at close range, at ~20 meters mp40 loses accuracy by a lot, and plus, first bullet shot at you after you get out of cover always missed, with only a couple of exceptions - there are some enemies that actually have 100% accuracy, I can remember one from top of my head - it's guy that shoots the vents at the Dam, after you get through radio room. But he can be killed easily if you do this stage silent, because at first he doesn't target player, only vents. So yeah, what you see is hard difficulty, trust me :)

I assume you're talking about 2:25:28 - and it was an unexpected thing to happen, but I could do it consistently. Apparently, when you're behind target your knife damage changes to very high value - and if you hit someone else with it, you still deal that much damage. So, I could kill guy facing me with one hit, as if I was behind him.
