Splatoon 3 Side Order is HARDER than you think...

[@sethfeldpausch4337]

Playing this mode with zero hacks is a STRUGGLE dude! I've found myself just needing to play SUPER cautiously and as smart as possible! For anyone struggling: be sure to paint up the walls and abuse verticality, as the Jelletons have nearly identical AI to the Salmonid in SR, so you can manipulate their pathfinding by swimming up walls.

[@sethfeldpausch4337]

@@tomatoprincess2709 That's fair. There's a YT creator named Jermex that is doing runs with no hacks, no vending machines, and the hardest options only, so his builds are purely random and he has to basically solely rely on his own skills as the only constant in any run! Definitely a challenge for sure!

[@MizunoKetsuban]

2:14 There's a misunderstanding here. That symbol isn't saying that you start with a speed boost, it's telling you that you have a higher chance of getting mobility color chips throughout the run. Think of it like brand affinity in the base game. That's also what the "Color Bias" hack is referring to: It increases those odds even further than the default.

[@OneCoolCatKC]

This mode allows you to choose your own difficulty. That's what makes Side Order so good! You can have fun customizing weapons to you hearts content. I made a Charger Build that made it a makeshift Grizzco Charger with max special charge up and poison ink that slows them down. There is just so much to do and the only limit is your imagination.

[@sd1gaming]

With the right amount of speed, ink speed, and moving ink regen for specials, you have an unstoppable loadout full of dopamine (Sheldon's pallette)

[@Inmortuae2233]

Honestly though, If you wanted to actually play a roguelite, there's so many better options like Dead Cells, Enter the Gungeon, Risk of Rain, etc. If you wanted to play specifically a splatoon roguelike, then side order does its job ok. Its just hard to call side order an "amazing" DLC due to some GLARING issues that I wont rabble on about because you don't want to hear that. tl;dr - Side Order is good if you wanted to specifically play a Splatoon roguelite, but if you want a better experience, support indie devs and buy Enter the Gungeon, Risk of Rain, or Dead Cells!!!

[@CallMe_No_One]

@@Inmortuae2233 no hades? or tboi?(maybe spelunky) I sadly have to agree that side order isn't a great roguelite even compared to other "dlc" roguelites/roguelikes. I hope they see side order as a test to see if a splatoon roguelite would work and eventually expand on it either with splatoon 4 or a spinoff game(that's my new copium)

[@sheepsquad4453]

Crazy thing is I was gonna comment on the same thing you said in a way. It depends on how you set the difficulty of how you want to play the game either playing through the tower at its maximum difficulty making it lmost freakishly hard or having it be very simple with all hacks and having it be a breeze or near most a breeze.

The thing about favoured colour chips is a LOT of weapons actually rely on chips they don't favour. Brella basically NEEDS either the cooldown reduction or shield not launching, but both are purple, and actively less likely to appear if you have colour chip bias on.

[@HIMB667]

Saying that side order is too easy while having full hacks and lives is like saying that octo expansion is too easy because you kill yourself on purpose to get the "skip station" hack and win instantly or alway choosing the easiest weapon in the selection.

[@CallMe_No_One]

I see where your coming from but atleast you still have to beat the level and not just skip them.

@@HereWhereTheWorldIsQuiet I only know about 8's palette but didnt know there was also a hack

[@Inmortuae2233]

I get your point, but I don't see how just disabling more options available to you could be considered a good difficulty slider. Its why nobody really likes Master mode in Terraria, because it just ups enemey health, damage, and defense while providing no unique AI or benefits to playing Master Mode other than for cosmetics/decoration.

[@Yahoomst]

Poison ink is literally the goat in no hack runs, if you ink the bottom of a portal it gets inked too, so it deals damage while you run from enemies

[@Dan-tq5vn]

Quick story: I failed the spire for the 3rd time and I just got big man’s pallet… I chose big man and jokingly said “is big man gonna be my savior?” And then I completed the Entire story… I guess Big Man’s my favorite Idol now. 😂

[@zanpakutoman4225]

My first Clear was with Big Man's palette, the first time I used it too. Inkstrikes are SO powerful, they're pretty much useful in any challenge except maybe the 8-Ball challenges. After I cleared the tower, I immediately got the Pearl drone's Inkstrike Chip hack. Inkstrikes demolish the spawn eggs, they stick to the tower and speed it up, They help paint zones, and strategic placements can hit the fleeing foes or at least trap them. They also completely wreck all the bosses, but especially the rotating tower boss. Suction bombs are also amazing for when you have to train/funnel a group of enemies and the Slosher itself is great cause of how vertical a lot of stages are. Big Man's palette is Top Tier.

[@zandikaa]

Can confirm after doing the same sort of thing, side order was a LOT more fun for me when limiting myself to actually make it a challenge. There's also something about making it to the top with a single life and no continues that's just so satisfying and makes you feel really proud of yourself.

[@jabrio3584]

Just as a note, the color chip bias actually increases the chance of the common tones for a palette, not how strong they are For example, Marina's has Drone and power chips as her first and second most common tones respectively, so those become even more common with the hack

[@6drago9]

This update is so well balanced and also rage inducing, especially if you play the wrong cards when taking on an aggressive challenge. I don’t think it’s bad I just got swarmed into a map that I knew was not gonna let me complete the run. And the color chips are so random and so are the floor types. I had to take a break last night before my anger takes control from that devilish threatening floor

Small tip: The armor regen time and broken armor jump synergy very well when you get cornered, as you can jump off the map to make a jump on purpose and reposition while gliding

might be a silly thing to say, but when in pursuit of Panicking Alla Mambo, use Toxic Mist. Hindrance Damage would also be a helpful color chip to use

Maybe the best video on SIDE ORDER ever. And honestly, SPEEDRUNNERS, the NO HACKS, ONE LIFE is the ultimate speed run. When I see others claiming SPEED RUN with lame lobby/shop resets and all hacks on MEH! What DUDE is doing above is the ULTIMATE way to play SIDE ORDER. And whoever does it first is the KING of SIDE ORDER. I wonder, do you get a badge for a NO HACK run? I will definitely be watching you try to do this (and btw, I have died on floor 30 that way! With TWO CONTINUES, 18 lives! Didnt make it though now I can easily breeze through all levels with all hacks on. Tried one with NO hacks, got to 13. But NO HACKS/RISK REWARDS is the ultimate way to play this great great game!)

[@NineSquids9]

I don’t know if anyone has said this but the weapons don’t come with a beginning buff, it just means that those types of chips will appear more(eg. splattershot makes range appear the most

[@ashdotmp4]

I've 100% it already but i definitely had extra lives and a whole bunch of other stuff. Very good job. :3

[@renamamiya2279]

You know, you could have done this challenge if you had collected the Octo Shot by opening all the lockers. For what? Because the Octo Shot has an effect that says the more hacks you have, the fewer chips you will have. If you have all your hacks for example, you can only have 6 chips, but if you disable some hacks, or maybe ALL of your hacks, you can have the maximum chips you can have in a palette. Which means you could do the no hacks, one life challenge again, with this weapon when you unlock it OR making a "less chips challenge". :) But for that, you'll have to complete the Tower with ALL weapons, so good luck. :)

I also started this challenge yesterday(except that I used vending machines might also ban them since getting 3 chips + floor skip is op) I started after completing every weapon(with hacks enabled) and still struggle quite a bit so respect for doing them "blind". I'm doing them in order and brella took me like half the day(but I got the splattershot first try after that so that makes it even) wish you luck and hope you won't struggle as much with brella. Also I definitely see that I underrated poison-ink after seeing you and prochara use it so thanks for mentioning it again will definitely use on some weapons now.

[@MrBig1997]

18:25 While not pulling out the pearl drone was a mistake, the one before that was going towards the edge of the stage to avoid the launch. If you stay on the higher area and get relatively close to smollusk, you can land and have plenty of time to dodge without pearl.

[@ttb2313]

Honestly a lot of people say to not use hacks to make the game harder, but i personally hate artificial difficulty. It makes the game fell more bs than hard, like oh i shouldn't have died to that, why is that a thing vs oh i could have done that instead. On top of that getting faster charge on a charger destroys the DLC no matter the difficulty.

[@Emaster5000]

One thing with the dualies, the dodge roll attack is also really strong, like the squid attack, it throws the enemies away from you, plus it's extra damage

[@splat338]

I'm glad to see other people doing the No hack run and honestly it can be fun or difficult depending on the player

[@Nihonguy]

I did a 1 life no hack run myself and managed to do it with roller, rng REALLY loved me that particular run though i got several toxic ink, hindrance ink and sticky ink, the chips that let you roller faster and crush things harder and paint wider and nearly every floor all enemies that dont fly just burnt to death while i did the objective, this also made the bosses substantially easier as well, also got a few chips that let me recover ink while I move and this combo just meant i never ran out of ink either. it was so much fun combos like that is why you play side order

[@jonquils1]

Thank you, Dude. I followed your choices.. made a big difference to my game and I made it to the end. Inspirational that you got so far not utilising all lives.

[@nullvoid1x]

The reason side order is so good is that depending on the floors you choose you could have am incredibly easy time or have it be insanely difficult it all depends on the run. I gave up on floor in particular because it was poorly made and then immediately started another run

The only issue is that some veterans are still too skilled to find the game challenging even on 0 hacks. The hack system is nice, but the opposite should be in there: modifiers that make the game harder in exchange for more prlzs at the end.

[@CallMe_No_One]

yeah something like a "one health" mode would be nice and more risk/reward hacks would also be great like speed X2(everything is faster) and maybe some fun ones that don't give prlz and don't count for completion but are more unique like a "boss rush" or 8-ball player physique(infinite health no weapon but have 8-ball physiques) etc. Still happy with side order.

[@freuner-merris]

Playing vending machine-less sounds like a nice challenge. I oughta give that a try! Though right now I'm trying to max out all the colour chip data, which is much quicker and easier done with the help of hyperhacked vending machines, so perhaps such challenge runs will have to wait...

[@user-gb4jn4my6j]

I just finished the tower hackless with Eight's weapon today! (That sweet, sweet badge is mine!) Took me a couple hours over 3 days but I'm so happy ^^ If you need it here are some tips if you wanna attempt it (I don't play the game in English so hopefully specific terms still make sense) EDIT: finished the video! separating tips that were already mentioned from new ones Already Mentioned: Chips that have to do with inked turf (more dot, slows down enemies more, etc) are a great pick. Killer Wail is one of the best things you can give Pearl. New Tips: Jelletons won't ever willingly jump off ledges (well, except the jumping ones), if you ever get swarmed while on high ground just dip, that'll give you time to recover. Personally when picking chips I mostly focused on Lucky ones because cod knows you'll need those drops. Chips that have to do with explosions pair well with Portals... well, exploding! Helpful to clear out even more enemies. That chip that makes your... octo roll become an attack? Take it too, it's a good "get off me" tool. If your armor gets broken, don't panic. Obvious I know, but also: keep a balance between running away and shooting down your pursuers. You are not outrunning them for 12 seconds, so you gotta keep them at bay too. Pay extra attention to sound cues. There were many times where I would have gotten backstabbed by a homing Jelleton fired off-screen had I not heard it coming. With the constant chaos happening you gotta keep that in mind. Ignore danger floors. Even if it's on an easy floor. Even if the chip is godly. Just ignore them. Swim Speed and Run Speed Up... aren't actually a must. If you have good ink coverage you don't even need them. I personally didn't. And finally but most importantly: BE PATIENT. I can't stress this enough. It doesn't matter if it takes 10 more minutes, if it's getting too much, retreat. Lead the enemies away, and try again. Anything that isn't the smallest Jelleton will one-shot you, don't tempt fate. (PS: All or Nothing doesn't count as a hack, since it doesn't affect gameplay, so enable it you cowards-) Overall, it wasn't that bad of a grind. I wasn't frustrated like when I was trying to beat Inner Agent 3, because every time I died was due to a skill issue on my part, and I felt motivated to try again. Will not attempt this again though, that was enough pain for me. If anyone else has more tips to add in the replies, go ahead!

[@SilentGlaceon94]

Personally for me, it's a good amount of challenge for me. I found out quickly that my biggest weakness is that I stay in one place for too long. I have to remind myself to keep moving no matter what. My best run was definitely with Marina's palette where I got to 27 floors.

[@adamting4637]

I had recently completed completed the default one life challenge with the splatter shot, as it is familiar to me. I mostly used toxic ink, slow down, damage taken while in my ink and additional damage taken while in my ink when fire at.

Why y’all constantly putting yourselves near the edge of maps? The one thing you should always keep in mind is “never corner yourself,” because in Side Order, those Jelletons will not stop attacking, even worse when they’re surrounding you.

Having range up helps a LOT because it gives you more time to move and plan your next move with the distance Dude got the right idea in the certain prioritized chips

[@s2a5]

What I mean when I say Side Order was too easy, I beat floor 30 on my third try. I had only gotten an extra life and damage reduction to 1,5x only. I was expecting the difficulty to stack up after floor 20, but it completely stopped getting any harder, even on “Rigorous” difficulty

[@MudakTheMultiplier]

I also said that in his first side order stream but it might not be a great idea since he wouldn't get any prlz for losing so he would have to win around every 3 round which is unrealistic after watching this video or the streams(not sure how many runs he lost in this video but pretty sure it's over 3) I'm using it mostly as a motivator to try harder(definitely hurts more then it helps with 0 hacks) it's pretty good if you use hacks though since you atleast get a 10% increase and you could also use a couple hacks to make your runs easy enough and still get a higher boost highly varies by skill level though(I still get around 2-2.5x with my comfy hacks)

[@cadenkat]

this is kind of a spoiler but the last palette makes it so if you have a lot of hacks enabled the amount of chips you can get in a run is decreased. the minimum is 6 i believe, and it got me thinking. would it technically be possible to do a no hacks no chips no vending run? the hacks you would need to enable would have to be ones that are related to the vending machine/pearl chip unlocks or serve no true game play advantage like seeing the F10 and F20 bosses ahead of time. to actually achieve "no chips" you would have to get pearl drone charge chips without unlocking any pearl drone abilities. if you were able to get things like "drone splat gauge" and "drone paint gauge" enough times you would effectively be stuck with the base version of your weapon. to me this would probably be the penultimate run that you could theoretically do because you are not able to make up for the things you lack without hacks with chips, and while it may be difficult to start due to rng you could allow floor resets to get the required chips, but that is theoretically not required. i kinda want to try this myself but im trying to 1000% the game rn so im more focused on that. if anyone knows of a way to make this harder please feel free to share
