VG Myths - Can You Beat Jak II Without Guns?

[@loredotdll]

@@WrongJoke06 A URL script that saves your card info on an auto-complete form that lets them insert it into websites and use your card. Pretty self-explanatory

[@Goofierknot]

More info, shortened because youtube didn't like the original: After running it through a scanner, it appears to have a shoplift malware imbedded in at least 6 different places on there. It also probably came from the system used for the online shopping forms and payment, which has been vulnerable in the past as well as mass-hacked, with a recent one not too long ago. What this can do (as an example) is take any info you put into the payment forms and give it to the hacker or a third-party for them to do whatever they desire with, such as using your card for some reason or another. ISC should probably get that fixed.

[@ThaRixer]

I'll be the technical speedrun nerd and elaborate on a few things and post some fun facts: At 1:28 Mar's tomb skip is performed, which is one of the oldest major skips in the entire Jak series, discovered around 2008. This act of "skipping into a later mission" and then the game just giving you everything is something we've been looking for for a later mission in the game for YEARS. The jak 2 speedrun is 54 minutes for an any% run, but could go down by as much as 40 minutes if we could skip into a later mission into the game. It's quite convenient the game just gives you everything though, it works in Jak 3, where multiple skips into later missions have been found. At 9:50 before the hover glitch was discovered in late 2014, we actually just reached the hut with something called an "extended frontflip" which is just the act of cancelling a jetboard trick with a frontflip for a little extra height. You can barely make it to the hut that way. At 10:25 the invulnerability glitch is pretty straight forward. You pulled away the jetboard on the exact frame as Jak was dying, so Jak is dead but you can still move around, which means he doesn't take any damage. Great video though :) feel free to reach out if you have a future challenge in mind for Jak 3.

2:23 naughty dog didn't facture in massive sequence breaks. The game gives you all the items you should have thanks to the mission replay feature. If this didn't work than you might walk into final mission without any upgrade to your character and that would be unfair.

[@Gamechamp3000]

[@Gamelover882]

I think in a weird way you're saying the same thing. Developers must consider sequence breaks in their games. Some developers may even include alternative cutscenes/interactions. So in this case, they considered what would be necessary at each point of the game

@@becomingsentient1208 Rush Jet has been nerfed hard and is mostly useless. As for boss order: Toad Man is first since he has a cheese filled weapon, Dive Man is second because he's an easy damageless boss , Bright Man, Pharoh Man, Ring Man can literally decide you lose so Pharoh Shot is absolutely 100% required, Dust Man, Skull Man, and Drill Man can be fought as soon as you have Dive Missiles.

[@Ocsttiac]

@@bluefishinthecut Bright Man's AI can be manipulated, since he'll only activate his Flash Stopper when his health hits certain levels (iirc his HP has to be 16, 8 or 4 for him to use Flash Stopper). The fight is still irritating and can catch you off-guard, but knowing this trick can save you the pain of facing Flash Stopper. As for Ring Man... I dunno. I think his boss fight is really easy. It's formulaic and patterned in a straight-forward manner. You jump his Ring Boomerang, jump back over, shoot him, then jump over him as he walks to the other side, rinse and repeat. It's his stage that loves to fuck you over, but using the weapons can help alleviate the stress. And as for Pharoah Man, his fight is pretty rough damageless, but if you have the Flash Stopper and are fast on the draw, you can incapacitate him swiftly. All the other bosses can be handled with ease.

[@bluefishinthecut]

@@Ocsttiac I found Pharoh Man's battle quite easy cause a full meter of Flash Stopper can get him close enough to zero to finish him off. Ring Man however can sometimes get too close while you're jumping or corner you so you don't have time to jump over his rings. His rings come back too quickly to even think which made him the hardest when I attempted this. And you fight him twice.

When you "broke reality" that can also be done in Jak 3 relatively easily, but it happens later in haven city. If you go to the new district, and then go down the elevator to the sewers, and then go right back up, and go to the right I believe it was and hang the corner, the loading just breaks allowing you to use a zoomer to fly into infinity.

[@22pepperjack]

the best part about this is that the detour glitches to get to the mountains for extra metal head gems is actually unnecessary. When you get to the first gun course and it tells you to "fire the scatter gun", you can pull the trigger and immediately punch to interrupt the shooting animation. No bullet gets fired, and your ammo count doesn't drop, but the game registers that you pulled the trigger and lets you continue with the training course. The training course itself is entirely possible without using the scatter gun, and the next mission has plenty of metal heads to get your final count. That being said, the method VG used is far more entertaining to watch lol

[@Raosal1]

7 months late, so actually when the jak community was helping me make this category possible, focus was more so on "how do we make this possible?" and once we found a solution that also happened to be fast and easy we stuck with it. Its still the fastest known route for skullgems for gunless. Sure it was a "challenge run" but it turned into a mix of both speed and a challenge run. :p

[@22pepperjack]

@@Raosal1 Thats a fair point, At the time of this comment I hadnt taken into account that while it may be easier to melee past the gun course and do the following mission, its quicker to fly to the mountain than it is to fly to the next sequential mission. The only distinction I would make is the difference in difficulty. I attempted the glitch for a few hours after watching this video and sadly its outside my skillset lol. made it around the load barrier once, over about 4-5 hours but failed the dismount from the zoomer. But getting the gun shot glitch is something i did in like 5 minutes of trying it. I wanted to see how many missions were beatable without guns lol. So for the time being if I ever do my own runs ill have to take the slower more accessible route lol Part of me still wonders if we will ever have a day when an "all missions" gunless route becomes possible. from my own tests its only about 15 missions that "seem" impossible atm, but im no glitch hunter, so my word means nothing lol

[@Raosal1]

@@22pepperjack I think thats awesome you gave it a shot. All missions gunless would be interesting, scrolling through the comments on this video its a pretty common thing mentioned and honestly I don't know. First mission that pops into my head early game is "destroy eggs at drill platform" you have to use a turret gun to destroy the eggs. Dark bomb doesn't work and neither the square X uppercut spin. Even if you somehow make it to the end gate the mission isn't counted as completed game doesn't let you leave, but who knows maybe there's a way.

[@22pepperjack]

@@Raosal1 yeah, any mission with the gun turrets seems auto locked. The only thing that potentially comes to mind for the drill platform eggs is maybe a deload similar to the training area points at the start of Jak 3. I don’t have the skills to perform the infinite hover (nor do I remember if you have the board at that point) but maybe? Idk lol. the rail sections with the gun ship later on I think are similarly locked by inactive gates. I need to go back through at some point and get a list of the levels that likely can’t be done yet. Could be interesting to work on those levels and maybe solve it lol but only time will tell if it ever becomes a thing.

6:35 “… do a long jump directly into the cliff on the left.” *jumps right*

[@Gamechamp3000]

It's to the left of the platform~

[@ChickenNuggets-jf5uf]

@@Gamechamp3000 Which platform? I didn’t see it at the time stamp. Edit: Figured out what you meant. The cliff you jumped through is the left wall at 6:26. Fantastic job at “cheating harder.”

Me: "Well, I know you can do the gun course with just melee attacks, so maybe she'll only count shooting at people or will discount the tutorial shot and then try to do the rest of the game without shooting somehow." Me after watching the video: "👁️👄👁️"

You have the funniest sense of humor and I love it.

[@cosmickly]

You know, Gamechamp, for someone who claims they're bad at video games you sure have completed an insane amount of game challenges. Why I'd go so far as to say you're GOOD at video games.

[@OswaldAurelia]

Whoa there, don't get ahead of yourself. They're MAYBE OKAYISH at video game

[@2funnyrockrs]

I’ve never tried to do any glitches before. Seeing these done is so jaw dropping. I love these videos!

Every time she says CHASM I die inside Lova ya gamechamp!

[@Pyrodiac]

Same.

[@AtomicF0x]

I've had this thought for both Jak 2 and Jak 3. I just like the idea of being able to beat them as if you were Jak from the first game.

[@SnaksiXD]

I was honestly expecting a run through all the game's missions without guns like in Ratchet Gladiator, but this'll have to suffice.

[@ecofreak8307]

Great work Gamechamp! Happy JakMonth

[@theinsaneone_]

Man, I've been thinking if this is possible in this game and the sequel. I've been trying to see if we can beat Jak X combat racing without using eco weapons. If I make progress I'll let you know gamechamp!

[@sutfolsemaj]

I don't think you can get past the tutorial in Jak X. I recall one of the sections being a race where you have to lay a bunch of landmines to not get blown up by a stream of missiles. I'm pretty sure there are too many missiles to tank, and I don't think there's enough healing to survive even if you had turbo from start to finish

[@LordEgilYGO]

10:50 I believe what happens here is you splat outside of the death trigger, and reenter gameplay passing through it, so the game thinks you're dead while still having full control. If you notice, the health bar on the hud disappeared when the splat occurred, which usually happens when you fall into a pit like that.

[@SuperCrazf]

I was looking forward to this, especially for the sewer level

[@shonw2318]

Jak 2 game developers: sooo, how much of the game do you intend to play dev intended? Gamechamp: *no*

Uploaded on Jak and Daxter The Precursor Legacy's 20th anniversary ❤ Nice.

[@zentendoxn8955]

“Sorry, Gamechamp, but I expected you to do this challenge in Jak 1 before Jak 2.” Is what I first thought, but I then idiotically remembered that Champ already did an Orb-less run of Jak 1, which didn’t even have guns in the first place.
