Fantastic guide! Though I think it's worth noting that, besides the keys, you get something like 100 herbs a and ton of gunpowder for completing the Shooting Gallery. While perhaps not needed, it can help players feel more at ease in regards to their resources.

[@kozlowskith]

I already finished Classic Mode a few weeks ago, but I am watching anyway for support! You helped me on AKUMU so its the least I can do, plus I enjoy your commentary! Thank You!

[@mr.pyramidhead2510]

Dammit Jigz, for the love of Keeper can you please talk about The Evil Within, talk about what makes this beautiful games so special, you are like the only person who creates content for these games I'd very much appriciate your thoughts on this topic love ya.

[@MoonwalkerMorris]

The mark of a great guide is strats that are easy to replicate and that's exactly what this and your first Evil Within guides provide. Thanks for taking the time to make them. Thumbs up. :)

[@Jocca17Productions]

Hey I just want to say thank you, this got me through classic mode and your commentary is great! Keep up the awesome work dude.

[@ConnorTheDJ24]

If yall are wondering about classic mode here are some answers. 1. The difficulty of classic mode is not entirely Nightmare since there are fewer enemies and all enemies and bosses on classic mode have survival health which is their base health but they still do nightmare attack damage. 2. No, you can not upgrade so green gel and weapon parts are nonexistent but instead, you get tons of gun powder, herbs, ammo, first aid kits, and syringes. 3. You can only save 7 times throughout the game but believe or not there is an 8th save buts that will be for the cleared game only. 4. Costumes are disabled in this mode leaving you with only the default costume. 5. Completing classic mode will unlock infinite ammo.

[@kinikenny3302]

Followed most of your strategies to finish the classic mode, and finally plat the game today. Thanks to your great video. Cheers.

[@theblackgloves512]

Thanks alot dude! Im writing this as the credits roll, you really helped me out and please keep playing evil within, either if the dlc come out or a sequel (hopefully). The only part I didn't follow your guide was on chapter 9 on the prison cells with the lost, I died there and once i came back i just killed them all before i opened the cell doors, then just left the witch wondering. Thanks again.

[@Toosapetteri]

Awesome guide! I saved before the firewalk and made it thru it on the 1st attempt, but then managed to choke on Laura lol. I failed the firewalk like 5 times after that

[@sudeeppednekar8355]

This was my first platinum! Just finished it today, feeling accomplished xD. This vid really came in clutch for navigating high traffic areas that I didn't want to bother dying multiple times and trying to figure out. Like the section just before Theodore fight.

Thank u sir I wasn’t able to finish the evil within 1 on casual mode after i watched ur walkthrough i did it and platniumed the game also the evil within 2 i got the platinum today keep doing what ur doing ur awesome

[@WheresAangy]

Just beat it today. Wanna say thanks . This guide was super helpful. The parts I ended up dying on was the lab before the o'neal fight cause I tried to throw a bottle past a wall in front of me to distract it, and it ended up hitting the wall and alerting it. then it ran up and grabbed me as I tried to run away and it killed me. Died there, my first firewalk cause the fire enemy ate my shot and still hit me twice before I could heal. ( Pissed me off ), and the part after the fire walk cause I went the wrong way from the guide. All in all. Thanks a lot. I never thought I'd be able to have the patience to beat the game , but I did. thanks to you. I appreciate it, mang.

[@ooombasa5080]

At chapter 13 now, right before the fire walk. How I did the saves is the same as the vid suggests, except for a couple of differences. 1st - Start of Chapter 5, before the guardian (the sewer part of chapter 4 is simple) 2nd - Chapter 7, after destroying both paintings 3rd - Chapter 10 safe house 4th - Chapter 13, in hotel before fire walk ... Then I plan to use the rest as such 5th - Chapter 13, after fire walk 6th - Chapter 14, after Theodore 7th - Chapter 15, before Myra fight The fire walk has me worried and I really don't want to have to repeat Chapter 11 and Chapter 12. So, it made sense to use the optional save for before the fire walk.

[@ooombasa5080]

Aaaaand I was dead on about using that free save for before the fire walk. Right at the end of it I died.

[@TheIrland09]

What was your strategy for Stefano? I'm having a lot of trouble with him. How was the cabin fight? I ask because once I defeat Stefano I REALLY do not want to have to run past that damn eye for the 100th time to fight him only to possibly die again, but I'd rather not waste the optional save because I'm worried about a few spots near the end and don't want to have to repeat long sections over and over again.

[@superdouma]

Thank you Jigz for the guide and helping me get the platinum trophy!

[@babbisp1]

*IMPORTANT TIP* For those of you who intend to use cheats to get this trophy/achievement, you should know there is still the possibility of you failing the run in some instances, even *with* the cheats. I listed them all here. You will only need to use 5 saves. *#1* 1:18:02 Right before the encounter with the Watcher. If you fail the part where you must shoot him, the animation will have you killed in spite of your cheats. *#2* 1:33:10 After dealing with both paintings, you will have to enter the Theater. Save before entering (he saves there too). You may die in the theater boss fight. *#3* 1:53:40 Right before the fight with Esmeralda Torres, because *she* might die, making you fail. *#4* 2:47:32 Before entering the elevator, enter the mirror and save. I don't remember what the risk is here, but there's definitely a small possibility of failing there. *#5* 3:04:20 Before the final boss, because you may still die there, even with the cheats (he also saves there). I only used the timestamps as a point of refetence. You don't actually need to watch the video if you're using cheats. Just speedrun the story and ignore everything else, unlike the man in the video.

[@ffx5846]

Why would anyone try a run in Classic with cheats? I mean, after finishing Nightmare what's the point on attempting an even harder difficulty with cheats?

[@babbisp1]

Thank You! I just beat classic an hour or so ago. Your video and tips made it so much easier. Thank you.

[@Foxhound3857]

Excellent guide buddy. I just finished Classic Mode for the first time tonight and got the trophy for it, and by proxy the Platinum. Thanks to you I can put this challenge behind me. While I didn't quite use this guide to the letter, I did use it as the mold to shape my run. The only difference is I went out of my way to grab all 32 keys and all ammo pouches. Probably wasn't too smart in hindsight since I never even used the keys, but it's not too terrible if you plan your saves around it. Thankfully I got the first part down in one try, but I was prepared to lose a couple of hours to a few failures in Chapter 3, as I figured it would serve me well later if I stretched out the early saves so I can be more liberal with them in the second half of the game. I got through Chapter 3 on the first try and well stocked to boot, so it wasn't hard to get my foot in the door, but I can see it being the most nervewracking part since it's a lot of time wasted for every failure and things can go wrong very easily to boot. Anyway, my seven saves: 1: Chapter 4 after reaching second safehouse AND completing the Shooting Gallery for the rewards 2: End of Chapter 7, after Paintings but before entering Theatre to face Stefano 3: End of Chapter 9, before Cabin fight 4: End of Chapter 11, after O'Neil fight 5: End of Chapter 13, before the fire walk 6: End of Chapter 14, before Theodore 7: Chapter 16, right before Myra By stretching out the first two saves, I was able to be spare enough in the second half to basically make a save every 2 chapters, in places that could be potentially very dangerous or be very bad if they go wrong, like the fire walk. It was basically 30 minutes between each save after the 2nd one, and save for a few hiccups (death to Lament in the lab before O'Neil, several deaths to DIsciples getting all the keys/pouches in Chapter 13), things went pretty steady after Chapter 7. And this guide is what both encouraged me to do it and enabled me to pull it off. Kudos for that, Jigzaw.

[@michaelenochs4033]

Omg my heart dude. I literally made it to chapter 14 with no saves left and ran out of supplies. I probably could've beaten the game but as much trouble that I had would've been faster to just follow you. I have so much supplies right now on chapter 4. Way more than I had following a different tutorial. Haven't saved yet so maybe I'll continue forward without Saving. Man, the struggle is real.

[@shadowdrayd]

@55:58 it is possible to stealth kill the gas lost however it takes 2 attempts and is risky to do normally however if you attack once just run back to the board entrance because it can't enter it and will stop chasing and go back on patrol then attack again and it's dead.

[@superhorrorfangurl]

So true! I actually risked it and killed her, but now I stuggle with chapter 15. I can't seem to be able to not die at the white zombies. I tried using freeze bolts but they need multible hits to drop dead because ice isn't their weakness, unlike the fire guys on previous chapters. Hopefully after this video I'll finally beat Classic mode.

[@shadowdrayd]

@@superhorrorfangurl there's just something satisfying about defeating the creature at that part than just running through.

[@shadowdrayd]

@@superhorrorfangurl I prefer shock bolts on them I took extra time to look for fuses. Shock bolts save me in most situations. They can still be stealth killed but I never suggest it with them but the one that causes trouble is big boy. After him it's pretty much free.

[@shadowdrayd]

@@superhorrorfangurl also craft herbs. Every time you get hit use a med if you have close to or as many as him it should be fine. The shotgun to the stomach still works wonders as he does.

[@superhorrorfangurl]

@@shadowdrayd I have been doing something risky, but it payed of. I collected 27/32 keys and now I have for chapters 15 and 16 about 200 gunpowder, full ammo on my weapons, 100 herbs 😂. I just hope that I will manage to follow your strategy. It's very good, idk if I will succeed. Wish me luck LOL

[@TheNocturnal1]

And....just finished the classic mode run thanks to you man! The bitch parts for me was the fire walk. Must've died at least 8-10 times trying to do it. Made a save before and after that damn encounter and then went smooth sailing from then on out. Praise to you sir!

This is my exact situation at the moment. One save left. My last save was right before the boss encounters succession

[@johnlucio6847]

Great guide as always my man, you're the best I've ever seen at these two games, I've beaten Survival, Nightmare and Akumu on this one with really no issues. But this classic mode is really getting me hard, I made my first save at the beginning of chapter 4, this was before I found your guide, but I keep dying in chapter 7 to the "Hysteria"? the bitch in the "WHITE" dress, not red (a little homage to Krauser lol), but seeing your idea makes me think I can finally do it. I usually try to beat games on their harder modes with my own style of play, but this mode is kicking my ass, and it's that section in chapter 7 like I said that keeps getting me, but I'm gonna use your strat, thanks man!

[@matthewsmith1950]

To save people some grief, for any like me who are playing this gem later than most people, if you are doing a Classic mode run, Please, Please, Please avoid the projector like the plague. I was fixing to do my first save on my run and Sebastian got stuck in the chair staring at the wall. So i get to restart my whole run due to a bug. And this was with having collected angel statues and pouches. By all means look at the projector on any other difficulty.

[@M4veR1K]

Thank you very much Jigsaw, you really helped me finish this classic mode on pc with your video. A lot of your tips work just fine. Some are hard to pull off tho.

@@JigzawKiller ur welcome. You were a gargantuan help

[@jasonnorris7624]

I died many times from chapter 4-7 so couple of tips for people who aren't as good as Jigzaw (like myself). In sewers crouch behind screaming lady straight away as she's always walking away from you, stab her then let her chase you back to the crawlspace you just came through. Go through and she'll turn around, come out and stab her again. Job done. For the Guardian on chapter 5 take the same route as Jigzaw but after picking up first explosive bolt only shoot sniper rifle box (guardian will break the others) this gives you more time to back up towards the stairs, then shoot the barrel, quick turn, hop on stairs and pick up what he does. Shoot only syringe box, now here's what really stopped me from dying. Do everything he does but do not pick up any of the items that come out of the boxes, only pick up the explosive traps. This saves you loads of time and gets you through the door quicker (still use electric bolt though). I died here at least 3 times. After you've killed Obscura and leave EVERY ITEM that came out of a box will still be there so retrace the route in which she chased you and get all the loot then. Hope this helps anyone who has to replay this annoying section. Btw excellent guide Jigzaw. I'm on chapter 9 so far thanks to this guide.

[@AgentHunk17]

I personally reccomend to "practice" until you make it just before the Stefano Fight to make the first save, the first half is easier than the second half of the game, when you can use all 6 remaining saves. That worked for me just fine, besides that, this is an excellent guide to make it through this relentless achievement. It's really satisfactory at the end to replay in "destroy everything" mode with the infinite ammo.

[@danieledstrom5777]

This guide was very helpful, great work!

[@TheeRogerWayne]

I'd love to know all the people who tried to use your guide, and died horribly. Not only does playing on PC play a bit differently than console (in terms of how fast you're able to spin around with precision and move) but using a 'speedrunners' guide I don't think is the best way to go. They are going to employ tactics that they have refined over many, many tries, whereas most of the rest of us will only play through the game a few times. Don't risk a risky tactic in Classic, because shit happens and you will die. Best thing to do is take your time, except in the few parts where you obviously need to run, and if you've played the game, you pretty much know where those are. My advice to you guys wanting to do the Classic playthrough, don't watch this vid. Complete the game, then while it's fresh, try a run at Classic Mode on your own. Look up a trophy guide to see where the best places to save are at, but other than that, go at your own pace. Not only does following a guide moment to moment ruin the whole point of gaming, but you're following someone who is an expert at the game, and using the same tactics is most likely going to get you killed, because as I said above, chances are you don't know the game inside and out from 100 playthroughs. Of course, even at your own pace you're going to die a few times, but that's better than suffering through trying to copycat someone else. P.S. there's a stamina-saving tactic/ exploit this guy uses, that 99% of people are not familiar with, and are not going to be employing, simply because it's not committed to memory through a ton of plays, and I think most people want to play the game how it's meant to be played, instead of spamming buttons to save a bit of stamina. Because if you've got enemies on your ass and your panicking, you're not going to remember to spam the f*cking buttons properly to maintain your stamina. This is why you need to take your time and follow your own pace. It will be more rewarding in the end, I promise you, and will result in much less death. All that said though, I still give due props to Jigsaw for posting this. It is entertaining.

[@JigzawKiller]

Appreciate the comment dude, I disagree though. There are a lot of people that this guide has helped. The strats I used were not speedrun strats, I planned these out to be slow and to try to help as many as possible. Also I would not upload any strats if they took multiple tries to do. Now at the same people can use the guide to get a general idea of what I'm doing and how certain parts work so then they mostly won't even need to copy what I do.

[@TheeRogerWayne]

If someone is playing on PC and they knew the game very well, yeah, this could work very well. Absolutely. But consoles is a different story. You're taking some risks here and there that could be pretty dangerous for newcomers, if they decided to follow your exact moves. (Obscura fight is easy anyway, but your strat adds unnecessary difficulty. Easier to just keep moving and use the pistol, and save shotgun ammo.) My opinion isn't detracting from your ability or that the vid is entertaining, but for us console jockies ;) following your playstyle, particularly at certain points, is pretty risky, and in terms of controls not even entirely possible. Part of the reason for that is not being as much of an expert in terms of knowing exactly what happens when, and how to move perfectly at the right time, but the other part is, you're playing on PC. Your field of view and the precision/ quickness that you can use in your aiming and moving around is different than on console. That's a fact. I could tell immediately from watching you play. (I'm playing on PS4 Pro BTW, and yes, the game still crashes..) So I guess my main point is that for those playing on console, some of this is going to be pretty hard to pull off. But regardless if people use your strats or not, they still get an idea of what to expect of course. But playing on PC is never the same experience; that truth exists in most games, no matter who is playing them. But great vid regardless. I'm still watching you and being entertained, so it's all good.

[@EarthboundX]

I did my first run through on Nightmare already, so this guide has been helpful for Classic. Classic is no where as hard as Akuma was. Other than the game crashing 3 times for me in between the first and second saves, it's been really easy. I'm not really following the guide completely though, still been gathering supplies, I'm near chapter 14, and I have over 400 gunpowder, and over 100 herbs. But it's helpful for the boss fights, and certain spots. I tend to be more stealthy and careful as well

[@guillaumeg4729]

Wasted life hours can you imagine getting all the way up there from chapter 11 then dying in two hits by a disciple. I have done this at least 7 or 8 times it's frustrating because I can't really see them spawning as easily in the video and I'm always getting hit from the back by one. This is the hardest not in difficulty but frustration. This is the firewalk I'm talking about. Chapter 13

[@guillaumeg4729]

And yes I'm playing on a PS4 I know I'm better than this but I just keep dying in the firewalk I even have lighting turned all the way up with sensitivity at around 85!

[@blakelong5544]

Thanks man! I took a long break after finishing it on nightmare on my first playthrough and now im back!

[@EarthboundX]

I would would just kill her myself, she's very easy. Use the 2 explosive barrels, and the oil spill you can use twice, then just shock bolt her and shotgun her a few more times and she dead, easy. Then you can also collect all the supplies in the boss fight area. Oh wait I'm dumb, you're talking about the Guardians milling around the town, night the boss fight at City Hall. I found those ones super easy to avoid.

[@thetwinsco-operative8807]

I have to say 2018 on PS4 save 1 to save 2 (chp.4-7) is a huge pain with this guide.. I had atleast 5 attempts before I made it, obscura fight took WAY more healing than it did for you, her movements were just not predictable at all. theres so many times I got seen/hit/killed by different enemies/bosses even when trying to replicate your actions exactly. I strongly feel like there should have been a save somewhere between the 5 bosses/mini bosses in those chapters because thats also way too long to rely on PS4 not crashing the game, which did happen to me on my second attempt at the very end while destroying the second painting! Very discouraging when that happens, and altogether I just felt very discouraged following this guide during those chapters!

[@traybiddle]

Thank you for the guide!! Literally just completed it! It was so stressful!

[@kehossf4]

I think classic mode is way more better than akumu. On akumu i wished it would end as soon as possible even following your genious guide lol. And classic playthrough i beat on my own and it was my fav part of the EW2 experience

[@ThisGuyDrives]

kehossf4 with your comment I’m feeling a little more confident beating classic mode. I just beat Akumu last night with 242 deaths. I’d feel about about those deaths if I hadn’t seen some people die over 600 times. I’ll be trying classic soon enough and definitely wouldn’t mind if it’s easier than Akumu.

47:50 beginning of sewer part 1:12:40 beautiful obscura dead 1:31:00 where i died 1:35:00 my checkpoint now 1:56:20 where i died 2:06:30 my checkpoint

[@Plakue1]

Finally finished classic mode, thanks a lot for this guide! Some parts were pretty hard to pull off but worked nicely when done exactly like in the video. Had one crash at the second painting before Stefano fight with the latest PS4 patch so anyone trying to do this beware :S

[@WalkerMarques]

Your guide helps a lot to get ready for what comes next. Still, naturally, we need some adaptations to our own style so we can be comfortable. I simply can't rush in these games sometimes (like that one when the Theodore part starts and you need to open the gate with the crank). I tried 4 times to do as you did but everything happened differently. So I had to play my style: with patience and stealth killing everyone. And it worked. The same for when Torres's part starts. Anyways, besides that, I achieved my goal and your guide helped a lot. Thank you!

[@hexxcfh835]

Finally beat it, thanks bro

[@rovospire]

I'm just starting and I really needed this. I did Platinum this back in day when PS4 Pro got the unlocked frames, but now doing it on Steam with maxed settings. I'm fully capable of doing this, but when I last did it, I literally went after everything, so could imagine how much time I wasted waiting to sneak attack with zero upgrades. I'm seriously gonna 1 for 1 this guide in all the open areas, cause if I didn't, I'd prob be in Chapter 3 for like 5 hours collecting.

[@rovospire]

My Notes on Save 1: -My biggest scares were, the garage as missed sneak kill so just had to bail. The witch for shotgun pouch on mansion, I got stuck in limbo box with her but slipped through somehow, and surprisingly the guy in warehouse with axe, I usually just sneak kill him but he turned around, and freaking missed axe swing, and his 1 hit nearly killed me. -Just skip the guys in front of warehouse and go back in way first came in. I also followed someone elses tactic for fighting crawlers, and ran back in and shot crawlers on the stairs as they get stuck, so used about 2 clips instead of a shocker bolt. Also, them other stairs take you to a room filled with loot, def worth detour. Also, in middle of map where grab shotgun bullets, I found it easier to go into garage first, grab everything, then get the shotgun bullets as easy to run to mansion after waking them all up. -After you do save before marrow, its easy to go grab a few things as pressure is off and quick 5 mins even if mess up is no big deal to me, cause it is nowhere near as bad as the 30 minutes to get to Chap 3 or the other 30 minutes to get all this chapter done. I grabbed key between train (no one in way of route) and 100% easily just get the key on the sign by safe house as after crawlers fight, no one is there on hill by it. -Since backtracked to the train key, I also grabbed the HG pouch in the train, although did take 10ish bullets to kill both and first guy is kind of risky, but felt that long term i'll get those bullets back by not leaving ammo behind, so the pouch will pay for itself. -There was never a good chance for the other HG pouch as witch blocks it and after crawlers fight, it is like 6 people, without ambush and better running, just wasn't worth it to me personally. -I also did all the shooting courses to get all the powder and keys. Then opened them all up before I finally saved.

[@rovospire]

Save 2 Notes: -His tactics are totally speed run based, however Ive adapted a more safe approach that fits me better. I killed zombie in room with the warden pouch first, and then killed the other sleeping up there by ladder. This way no one can climb ladder or is near when doors open. -With the 2 in pit, I nearly got grabbed trying to run past, I was able to start climbing before got hit again, and they both beat me to top, so just stop midway on ladder, and they'll climb back down into pit, giving you way more clearance to get to gas mask room. First girl in gas area, its easy to just crouch on other side and avoid her without having her chase you. -Gas room, as he starts going down right tunnel, just grab key and then just follow him crouching, he stares at the wall at very end of tunnel of his walking cycle, giving plenty of time to crawl behind him and get into power room, you do panel after he passes the door, and then go hide behind barrels in the corner, til heads back down power room tunnel, and can easily get to door without him seeing you. All 4 scenarios, are vastly more safer than his tactics, as a lot of his stuff might be faster, but lets enemies see you, lets them get so freaking close.

[@rovospire]

I bitched out, after triggering the paintings, grabbed a few things and then saved. I'm glad I did, cause I struggled getting paintings and stephano done. First, I did bar painting fine all times. But your tactic with the Hotel painting, obscura wasn't even on side I went to, yet she somehow she hit me every time and times I went to side with her nearly killed me, but my first run she killed me gate despite having shocker down. Then 2nd run somehow the witch at pouch killed me. I finally got everything done, and did the camera area, and somehow near end I crouch in spot that gets light and died. So I decided to turn on infinite sprint, cause allowed me to get back to where I was faster only doing what your run does, worked amazingly, and got all the way to Stephano and beat him first try, although wasted crap ton of ammo. Then absolute worst thing happened. I knew I couldn't save, so before heading to dungeon was watching video to master the area, and once felt I knew exactly what to do, realized my game crashed!!! So lowered my bitch levels a 3rd time, and turned on infinite run, invincible and strong hits. Clearly got to Stephano easy with just infinite run, what I didn't know, was 1 shot ended both Stephano phases. At this point, figured I'll do dungeon anyways for practice. I screwed up the crank badly, no one got hit by first smoke bomb, and followed me across room, smoked again, yet they all followed me to gate. Luckily I left all the cheats on and just punched them all. I kept going to try lava guys, and they are a lot easier than thought, shockers best way for sure. I debated redoing everything without easy killing Stephano and doing crank room properly, but eh. I know I can do them just fine, only part feel bad about is all this ammo I saved lol

[@nicholasdismukes6741]

I like evil within 1 more but this game is a delightful time

[@JOSHUAHEROO]

Nicholas Dismukes What do you like about the 1st one that was better?

[@outerspaceman7534]

Love the levels more on 1

[@guillaumeg4729]

I liked the evil with in 1 also for its over the top characters , the feel was much more crazier and unpredictable . This one has its points also but I loved the first one that opening scene with the city falling apart was effin sick!!

[@maxpeers8764]

I missed the optional bosses.

[@nicholasdismukes6741]

Well I'm late as s*** but I'm replaying both of them for Halloween and yeah I'm still on the side of evil within one with all of its crazy Janke being more appealing game to me. What I like about it is that it's less about you know shooting bits and things like that and way more about just clever use of items I mean it's really hard to explain especially you know in the comment section but you have a lot of freedom that you just don't have an evil within 2

[@valentinptx7341]

I don't know how to thank you. You're the best! You win a French Suscriber. Thank's again!

[@Sunret]

Some time ago I started to play the second part after the first one in a couple of months. So I've beaten TEW2 on nightmare difficulty for 25 hours, and I was kinda scared to pass through the places like when 3 burning lost face you in the chapter 9, defending the house with Torres, fire walk AGAIN but on classic mode. And when I saw some of your speedrun strats and hear lots of tips, I decided to try it. My heart was beating faster while I went to Stefano's arts and back or when I got 2 hits from demon-dogs in the chapter 3, I was really scared to lose progress xD And yep, I've done this finally just with one death on the last boss, thank you so much for the video, you really helped me to get this unforgettable experience! I'm gonna keep enjoying your other videos. Nightmare difficulty > classic mode in many aspects, by the way.

[@JC-nh9es]

great guide, you are only reason I beat it on classic.

[@Tatsuya8315]

Thanks for that guide, man you are the best

[@zerosway8884]

Man this helps me a lot thank you for the tips

[@EarthboundX]

Classic Mode completed! Super easy compared to Akuma in the first game. Though it was pretty damn frustrating when the game crashed 3 times and I lost about 6 hours total. This guide was very helpful, though I took a lot longer, since I explored more for supplies and did a lot more sneak attacks. Thanks!

[@EarthboundX]

2:45:48 I actually had the Harbinger and one of the flame Lost follow me there. They followed me all the way to that room with the stairs. Luckily I was able to shock bolt the Harbinger, freeze bolt and kill the Lost, and was able to hide from the Harbinger, so he went back, I was pretty scared when I saw the Harbinger walking towards me as I turned that second valve. Oh wow, after I took out the three demon dogs as you called them, I see the Harbinger just standing there, behind gate that falls after you pull the lever, heck he scared me, haha! Wow, turns out he can attack through the gate.....luckily he didn't kill me.

[@Bathrezz1]

Ch3, turning on the garage power, two swings and both miss the 2nd Lost near the switch >. < fml great way to waste 40mins At 1:02:03 she always catches up and is able to swing through the door taking half HP. Waiting until she moves into the fenced area before closing the 2nd door is certainly a death sentence. I really have no idea how i run a straight line to the area but you have an extra 5 seconds before she finally gets to the door.

[@ThanatosNinja1]

Thank you very much for this run. Some strategies are way too pro to imitate but many were extremely helpful!

[@flash2177]

Your guide helped. :-) Thanks for posting this.

[@Chairleg_]

You helped me with akumu, and now it's time to help me again.

[@GothicXlightning]

I started a in-depth playthrough series on Nightmare mode but unupgraded HP just to keep it like classic mode but been able you save, it may be too much pain to do a recorded edited series on classic mode with all honesty I'll watch part of this video Really adore this epic game despite minor flaws

[@theedge9528]

i just beat this mode and all i got to say is i fucking hate it, this mode got me sooooo exhausted Akumu mode from the first game was better i loved it, sooo much fun

[@awanderinggourmet8432]

For me it was the other way around i could not play Akumu for more than a little at a time because the instant death stuff started to get irritating.

[@theedge9528]

A Wandering Gourmet Akumu is really easy when you know the game properly, get to used to the game you know but if you're playing Blind.... boy you're gonna get F.U.C.K.E.D alot lol

[@awanderinggourmet8432]

Yeah i went into Akumu straight after normal difficulty and i was not ready for the new enemy spawns, i still remember when i got to the village area for the first time and saw the Ruvic clone wandering among the standard enemies and i just stood there staring in disbelief.

[@theedge9528]

A Wandering Gourmet lmao

[@Suutari4]

Yeah. I haven't started this yet but Akumu was pretty easy when you knew all the things from the game. But I gotta confess I didn't finish it. Got stuck in the spider monster boss in the bus and then other games got in the way. I think I have to go back and finish it.

[@elliot_alderson616]

Thanks, man. You are the best. From Russia with love

[@SpeedMartyr]

Here go again hehe Thanks, Jigz, this guide will very useful for SpeedRuns Practice! :p

[@Qrowzzy]

Thanks so much for this! Your AKUMU speedrun on the first game helped me so much. You're a fucking legend!

[@hogie13eire86]

Ah I just beat it two days ago lol I appreciate your guide nonetheless. You got me the plat for the first game... this is not as tough as 1 but it is more stressful!! Cheers Jigz

[@MohammedEAssas]

Thank you so much, such a helpful guide, any news of DLCs, there are at least two things to discuss, first Joseph is alive, and second if Myra is really dead and maybe a third DLC to play as the Harbinger (just like the keeper in the first Evil Within) or some back story of how all the plan of saving Lily started and play as Kidman again

[@lowbarscooter]

Just beat this. Thanks a lot for the guide!

[@ooombasa5080]

Done it! Thanks a lot for your help, Jigzaw. Ya helped me in 2016 with TEW Akumu mode and once again your guide proved essential for TEW2 Classic mode. For everyone else who has yet to start it. The idea of Classic mode is a lot worse than the reality of it. Like, the only times I died was the firewalk and the watcher boss at the end. Put it this way... Akumu mode turned out exactly as you fear it will play. That is not the case at all for Classic. It is very manageable with this guide.

[@JigzawKiller]

Thank you. I really am surprised how many people still say they had problems. They even lower the bosses health on classic mode. Glad I could help you out as well, thanks for watching :D

[@ahmadalturk9127]

thanks a lot , really appreciated , i followed every single word of you and i did it just now , Thanks a lot again and again and again Dear :)

[@Adam-cj2jg]

Starting classic tonite, your Akumu guide got me my TEW platinum let's go for number 2 😲 Update: thanks Jigz

[@FerrarINKAGamesChannel]

You have a fantastic voice...Great walkthrough!
