Akumu Mode

[Light_Infinite_]

I died.... wait for it, wait for it.  Ok, suspense is nearing the end......  7 hundred and 10 freaking times.  I've have yet to hear of anyone having this number.

 

 

BUT.. I do know that exitting and reloading your checkpoint rather than letting the natural restart after a death will negate those deaths prior.  I literally never did this.  Again tho, it's a little embarressing to know that I was killed 3 qtrs of a thousand times.          If i got through it, anyone can.      

but go for sure that you didn't give up , i have less deaths  just because i played the game twice after going for akuma , funny part the part i have died most was the chapter 2 lol not kidding the stealth section was a bitch

   Oh man, that ch.2 stealth section got the best of me for atleast 40 mintures to be honest too.  I had wondered what I had gotten myself into.  It's a very very interesting mode for sure...

That is quite impressive lol not because you died so much, but you actually kept going despite that. That's some serious dedication - I probably would have thrown my ps4 into a wall at that point.

 

I finally went back and got it finished, thought I should post my stats: 15 hours, 41 minutes, 157 deaths.

After 20 hours and 410 deaths my no upgrades Akumu playthrough is done and I think it's very safe to say that I'm never touching this game again. I liked the challenge, it was nice to have to really think about strategy and execution, but what a relief to have it over with. Those green spinning floor traps can burn in hell.

For the record, I've platted numerous doozies... MGS2, MGS4, Dead Space 2, Silent Hill 2, Muramasa Rebirth, Binding of Isaac and many, many more.... So I don't stink at games!

That being said - I died 731 times over 33:44 hours

I mostly screwed myself by being OVERLY concerned with ammo conservation. Like, I tried the famous chapter 6 section opening every time with using headshots to kill both initial guys (headshot crits at 30%) and so it took me about 6 hours to do chapter 6... I ended the game with mostly fully loaded lockers at least!

Watching those Seraphim videos has shown me that enemies will drop quite a lot of ammo IF you are low, so excessive ammo conservation is unwise! I probably had about 5 ammo drops from enemies the entire game because I was constantly full of everything. So, that's my tip. When it's tough - use what you got! It's only around chapter 11 onwards that things start to get even remotely tight for ammo...

~ 15 hours for me and ~ 300 died time. Just because the chapter 6 is too hard without ammo

Just cleared Akumu. Total time 20:40:28 with 286 deaths. I really thought I died way more than that.
