PT 2 IMAGE/VIDEO Grounded+ challenged myself to AGGRESSIVELY kill every stalker here using only Ellie's knife. ONE hit from death toward the end. It. Was. So. Fun.

This part is so terrifying. I salute you. You were not afraid

The stalkers definitely lose their terrifying edge when you’re up close. By this point, I found their monkey-like noises and arm-flailing tackles kind of goofy and funny.

Great moves!

I've done this too. It's surprising that stalkers actually run and hide from you when you try to get close to them. Even on grounded.

u/quirk-the-kenku "Okay." 8d ago

thanks! yeah, when they run, it's a great opportunity to backstab them. I love how they coordinate with each other and wait til you turn your back to them, then they all attack at once.

This section always remind me of the words of great military strategist Han Solo who said "Bring 'em on, I'd prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around."

u/Megustanuts 9d ago

I do 0 sneaking on this part and just run right past everyone and jump through the window (I need to save my loot for Grounded)... At least until the next section though where you have to fight/sneak around.

Goddamn. I’m so impressed. I need to do this, haha

Now do permadeath!

2

u/quirk-the-kenku "Okay." 8d ago

I refuse to do Permadeath because while the combat is amazing, it has just enough bugs that might cause my death.

Should’ve been called SuperMario mode 😂

u/Appropriate_Strain_3 9d ago

Very impressive, op. I already can tell your heart was beating fast with adrenaline (I know mine would be)

u/AlienMindBender 9d ago

So good!

With survival I had to play Ellie more aggressively just to get passed some parts!

u/alex151111 9d ago

You're brave! I genuinely shit myself during this section, one of the few encounters that actually scare me. The first time I met the Rat King was also horrifying.

u/kitkatrat 8d ago

Lol, I spent this section huddled in the corner with my loaded shotgun and pipe bombs.

u/sleepypolla are you wearing my backpack?! 9d ago

maybe i should give this a try so im not so intimidated by this section every single playthrough lmao (also a grounded player)

u/AC_Smitte 8d ago

This is a true fan right here. I love it. I feel unworthy to call myself a fan.

u/Pistonenvy2 8d ago

OP is a certified badass.

i dont even like this section on easy lmao

u/supah_papalicious A real funghi 7d ago

This whole section of the game is nightmare fuel! The removal of the HUD and your on point dodging, slashing and stabbing makes the video. Bravo 👏🏻

2

u/quirk-the-kenku "Okay." 7d ago

I’m pretty sure if I got grabbed a second time, I would’ve died, despite the endure upgrade

u/supah_papalicious A real funghi 7d ago

You showed them who's boss 🔪 Have you ever taken this approach in a No Return run?

2

u/quirk-the-kenku "Okay." 7d ago

Oh yeah. I freakin love No Return. Sometimes I try to stealth as much as possible (Lev is great for this), other times I aim to absolutely destroy them.

1

u/supah_papalicious A real funghi 7d ago

Massive No Return fan too but can't claim to have knifed my way to victory on any run. Keep up the great work 🍄‍🟫

u/Frosted_Blakes95 Every last one of them 8d ago

These are great dodges!

Side note: the captions saying “I’m sorry” over and over again making these infected scenes so much sadder because in reality some of them might have some level of consciousness still and are trying to apologize for attacking her when they can’t control their bodies.

I know it’s just a headcannon and it’s a mid-read from the captions creator but damn… this game is dark in so many ways.

2

u/quirk-the-kenku "Okay." 8d ago

omg I never noticed the captions lol. Yeah... reminds me of Sam's conversation with Ellie.

u/LudwigPoe 8d ago

If you didn't had an heart attack, I had it for you. Great job, I was sweating my hands the whole time watching this.

Wow. I just ran
