You can instantly kill that first red zealot on the elevator section by interacting with the spiked ball lever and then immediately starting the elevator. He hugs the ball on his way up the stairs after spawning and goes splat.

The Garrador Knife prompt seems to be tied to whether he's aggrod or not. As long as he's still wildly swinging around himself it won't pop up but as soon as he lowers his guard its available again.

For those who don't know; Ranged Ganado will shout "Ahi va-eso!" at you when they throw their weapon. It's Spanish for 'Here it comes!' or 'There it goes!' depending on the context. It's basically them shouting 'Catch this!' at Leon every time they throw something. #TheMoreYouKnow c:

I think I know where the inconsistencies come from fighting Garadors: when the Garadors are at high hp they become vulnerable after that 4 swing sequence, but once they are wounded they start adding turnaround swing to do after that sequence and there won't be a prompt in between. When they're really heavily wounded I think they can do at least 2 turnarounds in a row before they become vulnerable again. Basically they're vulnerable when they're walking around slowly or standing in place moving their head around back and forth from side to side.

[@muchluck7981]

Important distinction here. You can shoot a grenade. It just has to come from a grenade launcher. if you are using the grenade the old fashioned way, they are fine. just for people to note for future grenade runs so that they don't go running for the nearest grenade launcher in their favorite game

"Can you shoot a grenade" Yes, they're called grenade cartridges and you shoot them out of grenade launchers. That being said, RE4 (both versions of them) is one of the oddball RE games to not have a grenade launcher. I guess the Mine-Thrower and Bolt Thrower kind of fill those roles.

21:27 Wait... Why didn't you just crouch beneath the wire? x) Really cool video! It's always great to see people do challenges like that. I've recently finished a No Damage with Knife/Pistol only run at it was very fun to do. Although that "no damage" part was pretty hard in some of the sections, especially annoying arm-grab move in the very last Krauser fight (for which I found no reliable way of dodging other than just running away from him, which is very problematic when fighting him with a knife). Cheers for all the challengers and good luck with your runs!

[@Infernal_Sniper]

I feel like with how many systems they made for village that wound up being in the 4 remake, it’s inevitable that they will do the same thing for 5. Hell, they already made a decently good partner ai with Louis and Ashley in this game. All they need to do is combine them and add more modes to make Sheva better than the original.

On the lift section I discovered that you can kill the Red Zealot instantly if you pull the lever that drops the big iron ball down the stairs and hurry to the lift as fast as you can.

[@errorusernotfound1]

few things i noticed. the tripmine you showed in the clip you can crouch under. but you have to tank the rest sadly. body armor helps tho. regenerators you can just stab repeatedly. stab towards the tummy from its right side (or your left) and you should be able to hit 2 of the plagas at the same time. once they break loop behind its back and steb the upper side of its back for the last plaga. its really consistent and quick. if youre behind it it will likely try to swipe you with an armswing wich you can easily parry. the blind guys have QTE behind their back wich does a lot of damage, but the damage to durability ratio is less than stabbing them normally. on NG standard i have to conserve durability because it would take 5 QTE stabs. you can also sneak in a quick stab after the QTE before the second slash (careful about their left claw, it will swipe a bit towards the back, hitting you if you keep stabbing). the explosive barrel in the mendez fight you can kinda dodge by climbing up the ladder, but it has to be timed properly. if youre too late they will hit you while yorue on the ladder, if youre too early he will throw them at the top at the ladder (might get blocked by the beams running acros the ceiling walls). when he goes in for a melee you can kinda get him into an infinite loop if you stand at the right spot on his side. but i never get it. sally bossfight is imo a huge pain (i dont use grenades) but its actually possible to keep looping the knife QTE. tho ive never gone beyond 3 loops. about 7 are required to kill him. im not sure wat exactly triggers the knife QTE over and over again, i usually just try to keep stabbing at his weakpoint as he moves. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt lol.

I don't count the final rocket launcher myself, since the frugalist achievement in the game (only knifes and handguns) counts this as an exclusion, meaning it doesn't invalidate the run, you should check this achievement progression to see what counrs as an exclusion, I see this run valid enough

Since shooting guns is mandatory in some sections, the category could be called New Game no Ammo run. Meaning you cannot use any ammo. If its infinite like in the minecart section then its fine. Grenades count as resources, not ammo, and the rocket is an RPG or Rocket Propelled Grenade. Again, resource not ammo.
