Popular Post Optinooby Posted May 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) [DLC EDIT - With the addition of the new characters, I will add additional guides for Merceneries eventually. Still SSS, but I will do it with each of the new characters, hopefully makes it a lot easier for some - Watch this space!] Hey every1, I got to these finally and am slowly going through them. Im trying to do them WITHOUT blue orbs so that the strategies are accessible to any orb build. Not sure if no blue orbs will be possible on the 2nd versions, will see when i get there. (EDIT: YES THEY ARE!! Just got SSS on Village 2 with NO blue orbs, so glad to say, once they go up, no blue orbs again and so will be accessible to all builds!!) Anyways, in these guides, im giving FULL commentary and along the way im pausing the game to explain few things to you such as 'why this enemy spawns here' , 'do this that way', 'make sure you are on 23 enemies killed before you leave this room' or 'there are 4 enemies here' etc etc The above are just examples but juat saying I break the maps down step by step in an effort to make the methods easier to copy and of course, insert ANY blue orb Although the videos are a bit longer than most guides, I get higher scores (remember no blue orbs) and the vids are only longer due to my pausing and breaking the maps down, my actual routing is pretty quick Hope they help Enjoy Edited October 30, 2022 by Optinooby 53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo-9000 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 You absolute legend. Got SSS on my first try mimicking your run on the Village, even dropped my combo toward the end of the third stage. Brilliant video and commentary. Going to try the next level tomorrow. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the rest will work out that well XD!! There all pretty clean runs except for the end of the Mad Village Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaRejectz Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Luckily I’ve gotten all the S+ ranks I needed. But this should be good for people still going for them. Doing it without Blue Orbs will definitely make it better for following the guide. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZomBowner Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Using your guides so I can get the lightsaber. Can I use the lightsaber for following your knife only guide and get the trophy? Or do I have to use knife Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do I have to use knife Thanks I cant say for sure yet on that as that is something I have planned to do AFTER I have the first platinum walkthrough up (I may do a few) I imagine it would as it is still a melee weapon, and im sure ive read a random comment somewhere that it worked. Cant recall where I read as I view everything everywhere, but sure somewhere said it worked! Its a great way to do it actually as the lightsaber recovers health as well as one hit kills most things, I just left it out on this 1 as SS isnt a platinum requirement and figured a bit more practice may be good before Mercs Although now I know the story doesnt really prepare you for Mercs xD! So doesnt really matter when u do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Optinooby Posted June 7, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2021 Thats it, all done SSS with No Blue Orbs!! That was more exhausting than I thought it would be!! My platinum walkthrough is all up on the channel, its about 10hrs total full platinum. I may do an extra run of Knife Only New Game 100% No Heals, for those who wanna finish the platinum in 2 playthroughs + Mercs instead of 3 playthroughs + Mercs, will see if i have the energy Hope these help 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adema_CDS Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Thank you Optinoob. These videos have the best tips and commentary around. I still struggled but used the blue orbs for additional bonuses. I needed both areas on Factory 2 as I always lost my combo! I also run out of handgun ammo on Castle 2 (Area 3) but luckily had 1 magnum bullet left and lined up the last two enemies with it. Was tight! Great guides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryfter Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) @Optinooby I gotta say your guides are top notch. I wouldnt have gotten the platinum for Village if not for your guides. HATED Mercenaries, LOL! Couldnt believe people actually complained about you pausing so you can explain why you do what you do and/or what you will do so the people watching can be prepared. I followed a guide for God of War on this site, had all the locations of collectibles...even had a build to easier deal with the Valkyries end game. I just went back to check who's it was and of course it was yours. I've subbed to your youtube with likes and the works. Thanks again and you have another fan for my gaming life!

It was only 1 or 2 that complained, but they deleted the comment when I had tried clicking on the notification XD. Very odd comment as is a guide, made me/us laugh Yea GoW is actually something I plan on running soon for the Channel, its good ive done most the work already! Im glad you found the GoW text guide helpful, I dont do many text guides now as trying to put them on youtube as it takes less time. Last text guide I did here was my Control 100% guide. Thanks my friend, I really appreciate the support 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
