Can You Beat RESIDENT EVIL 5 With Only Explosives?

[@Effective_doplar]

So, I guess Lemon didn't know the giant spider has a unique grenade option? When you knock it down you can walk up to it, and if you have grenade in your inventory you get a prompt to throw it in its mouth. Think it takes 3 to kill doing that.

[@calemr]

Easiest way to beat it, IMO. Though you should always do at least 1, as that blows a hole in it's armor that you can shoot.

[@daponagegoogenburg807]

What that's a thing? I've beaten the game live 5 times and never knew that

[@Kaiimei]

@@daponagegoogenburg807 That cutscene where you see it laying on the platform and sort of snarling, opening it's mouth but not lifting itself up, that's when you can chuck a grenade in there, you get a lot of nades on that mission for that exact reason.

[@daponagegoogenburg807]

@Kaiimei huh, guess I've been making that harder on myself for no reason

[@Kaiimei]

@@daponagegoogenburg807 Tbh I always just kept the RPG from 3-1 and then used that to one-shot it.

[@yharr3789]

I feel like when Mr. Lemon asks Chris for his thoughts hes not actually interested in Chris' opinions on the matter at hand, he's just checking to make sure Chris still has at least one functioning neuron left

[@talonalexander2849]

😂love it!

[@randomsandwichian]

Chris is like boulder where?

[@chukyuniqul]

Chris redfield is the Goku of killing zeds.

[@Khilo_Oh]

Those legitimate giggles, when Chris' brain cell tries to figure out which hole the square peg fits into, just made my day.

[@SgtCookie111]

What point of the video was that?

[@Khilo_Oh]

​@@SgtCookie11112:24 for example

[@SparkSovereign]

It's so obvious though. The square peg goes in the square hole, just like every other peg does.

When you said you wanted to go thru your backlogs, we didn't think you meant going this far

[@MasterMewtwo239]

Hey, BACKLOG, so it makes some sense.

[@goreobsessed2308]

I'm glad he did though I love this damn game

[@serspring08]

During the separate building section near 11:00, you can toss a grenade so it bounces off the other building, and destroys the lock on the door.

[@TheRedMage01]

What me and my friend started doing even back in the demo and we have 100's of hours in RE5

[@Kaiimei]

@@TheRedMage01 And back when you didn't have every guide imaginable telling you every trick imaginable, you just learned about it either through playing, or someone else playing the game mentioning it whilst chatting about it. Tbh the 2-1 Demo was excellent, I spent so much time running away from the Chainsaw Majini.

[@joesmoe4953]

I was screaming "THERE IS THE YELLOW SIGN RIGHT THEREEEE"

[@bonkboyo3644]

With Sheva's AI and Chris' refrigerator-ness, you form the perfect smart fridge.

[@horizonbumpy2828]

love that the crocodiles are only attracted to Chris, making it seem like Sheva doesn't have enough meat on her bones. (yes i know if you play as Sheva they target Sheva, but let me have this one)

OH SHIT, my favorite RE KZbinr! A man of taste, let's gooooooooooo

[@shadedergu9921]

iirc the other big use for Acid Rounds against Lickers (btw Acid Rounds have been super effective against lickers across the franchise) is also how it causes them to recoil. Since it sends them flying it has high odds of leaving them on their back, where you can instantly kill them with a quick time prompt if you approach them.

[@purplehaze2358]

"Just like Monster Hunter, your little buddies can knock a monster down to 1 HP, but you have to be the one to land the killing blow." This truly is a V from DMC5 moment.

[@CutestDemon]

You act as if it got boring, but the "oh there it is, oh we have one, oh if only- oh theres one" is one of my favourite jokes for plotpoints, thank GOD that the enemies were so polite to make everything difficult apart from highly sensitive equipment of doom

[@jamesquiggins]

"Resident Evil is just fun campy horror" (cut to guy screaming while on fire and crucified) "......usually" -Lemon I fucking DIED laughing and spit soda all over myself 😂

[@jamesquiggins]

It was his deadpan delivery of that line.

[@talonalexander2849]

"Chris, what are your thoughts" *chuckles* had me dying 😂

[@daredevevil]

Pretty sure after you started and picked up the first pistol, it made a save and you could have "restarted from checkpoint" and it would have put you in the shop menu where you could have sold Sheva's (and your) pistol for extra inventory space.

[@xelaback345]

Yep it does.

[@1stCallipostle]

And most things can be reloaded and sold infinitely So yeah, the only limit once you have the GL is patience and inventory space

[@arbiter771]

This game is such a childhood classic for me, i wish people didn't hate it so much. Co-op is so fun

[@johnmoore8161]

10:04 quick history fact: If the game took place in Vietnam it would be heavily accurate for there to be explosives in the fruit as it was a great way to not only sneak them around but also they were great traps. You were more likely to be killed by a pineapple than you were a mine.

[@cornRipper]

There are not just 14 of us, I swear. We may come in parties of 4, but soon, it will be 100 hunters Chris being low on Freon because he is a stacked fridge definitely worth every chuckle 😂😂😂

[@yungruuku]

Is it affected? I thought it was effective?

[@pandosham]

​@@yungruuku i may be explaining it wrong but it's affected in this case cause it's what's actively happening vs what has happened if that makes sense.

[@yungruuku]

@@pandosham Ahhhh, affect is a verb and effect is a noun. That makes sense, thank you. I thought you were right but then I was thinking about pokemon and how the text is "It's super effective!" but thats because its the result of a move being used. thank you my good person.

​Damn, it's the first time I see a civil convensation about grammar in the internet

[@BlazeOfGlory2003]

Hey man, you should try Titan Quest, you can get Poison Bombs as early as lvl 3 with the Rogue proficiency and Firebombs a bit later in the Earth tree, also the game is amazing and provides a challenge by itself, good hunting!

[@totengunso4047]

Lemon, you had to punch a boulder!

[@victoriousf.i.g.3311]

Irving gloating about how big and cool he was before the transformation really got off the ground was a bold strategy. I mean, it worked out; he turned into a monster but he was definitely throwing shade before he knew what kind of Frankenstein he would be

[@Hellwaterva]

he became his own monster

[@Hellbughunter]

Every game should have a merchant selling legally dubios things upsetting the church. Wonder if anyone will get that one.

[@sllyrbbt09]

[@adeptusmedicus]

10:40 you can actually bank a grenade off of a sign on the other apartment building so that it destroys the padlock on the ground floor so you can skip the splitting up section.

[@jared21217]

Chris Redfield joins the academy!

[@DIAGAMEIT]

I was super surprised to see this game again. I know a lot of people dumped on it but it has too many memories playing this game that it's a personal favorite.

[@DLockholm]

that's actually very depressing

[@DIAGAMEIT]

@DLockholm Whys that

[@lobstrosity7163]

For me it's the most boring one. I'm glad you got enjoyment from it though!

[@jmsq92]

I've never played a RE game but im so invested in seeing how far the firebomb academy can go that I saw the whole video great as always lemon.

[@noebadee5493]

My main critique of the run is that Chris doesn't look like he fell out of a mad max film and that Sheva doesn't appear to be an extra on an Austin Powers set.

[@fokushigaru1310]

Now try Resident Evil 6, all campaigns, explosions only. I dont believe its remotely possible.

[@andrewwaldschmitt4757]

It absolutely is, on playthrough number 7 or so. C&P have a grenade launcher. Jake and Sherri have one too, as an alt fire. Ada has one. It has been a while, but I think only Leon and Helena do not have access to an infinite skill grenade.

[@fokushigaru1310]

@andrewwaldschmitt4757 yeah it's been forever since I played it, I remember having access to explosives, just don't think there's enough access to them considering the bigger horde sizes in 6 compared to 4 and 5.

[@DLockholm]

it is possible, that game is not difficult by any means, it's a third person call of duty pretty much

[@lazyman8093]

In honor of the Monster Hunter references, and your crossbow runs, can you beat Monster Hunter World, or Monster Hunter Rise, while only using the Bow's Dragon Piercer attack?

[@Brianlikescars]

I can say the answer is yes for MHW, minus the forced cannon sections. Piercer is always just 👌

[@wolffegames6597]

Speaking as a Bow main, the answer is yes, you absolutely can do that. It just requires some dancing during hunts to dodge attacks from the monsters.

[@Lianthrelle]

Probably more interesting to do 1000 Dragons only since it requires pods for every shot.

[@fredclasson7865]

I always love the commentary about the game. As someone who played it way back it's like a dish of nostalgia and satire served by a great chef. Also, I totally forgot that some of these bosses even existed, I guess it's time to play it again.

[@DLockholm]

don't, spare yourself from the pain

[@philthestampede]

You can also access the inventory and shop at any point in the game by pausing and choosing "restart". It will send you to the most recent checkpoint, and put you in the inventory/shop screen.

[@gldni17]

Okay, so you mentioned upgrading weapons, but I don't remember any explosive weapons being upgradable in this game. So you didn't really mess that up at all. On another note, though, you CAN use your regular rocket launcher on Irving. Considering all the situations where you do have to use guns, though, it doesn't really change anything significant. Really fun video, love getting to see someone use the grenade launcher to get through the later part of the game.

[@LegoTankGirl]

[@VaIentineUK]

RE5 is a brilliant co-op game, and having done some of my insane challenges like a Professional run with only the starting handgun, I would have absolutely played this explosives run with you. You also can just wait out the first enemies, then as soon as the gate gets broken, just run around until a cutscene saves you.

I think what's happening is he's trying to duck so the rockets miss, otherwise they'd have blown up right in his face instead of after going into the lava. Though, from that angle it really does look like the rockets just vaporize his head

[@SirKnightSurefireTactics]

Pro Re5 tip, you can always pause the game and press "restart" to go back to your most recent checkpoint in the invy/shop menu with zero penalties. So the start of the run could have been cleaned up by selling your weapons after getting your guns at the start so Sheva couldn't use a gun if you wanted. Although she still potentially could have melee'd with a knife so take your pick there really. 10:49 - You can actually skip this entire sequence by throwing a grenade and bouncing off the big ANIMAL HEALTH sign which blocks the lock off the door :)

The challenge to only use grenades sounds so awesome to me! I played this game alot while growing up along with Resident Evil 4 so these games are my bread and butter.
