I'm not touching this game for quite some time.

 

You just described every single player game in a nutshell. Very few games manage to sustain a good player base after the first six months or first year.

 

Horizon Zero Dawn is still pulling in thousands of players even though that game came out in February 2017. The closest thing to that is Assassins Creed Origins, still pulling in 1000 - 2000 players on a weekly basis. Obviously both games have done something that pull in those kinds of numbers.

 

For Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus however, it gained some popularity but I think it was far overshadowed by games like Call of Duty: World War II. There was also a new Mario game that released late last Fall for the Nintendo Switch, which a lot of Nintendo fans picked up.

 

Some of my friends on Steam didn't particularly enjoy Wolfenstein II all that much, partially because PC ports have become shitty in the past few years.

 

Everything in the game has a guide attached to it, so that's been said and done.

 

Looking at your account you could go after the DLC, but it doesn't look like you're a DLC kind of guy. If you have moved on from this game and don't plan on buying the DLC, then yeah, there's not much for you to say at this point.

 

I have actually considered doing the dlc's for this game, though I've sorta missed them the last few times they were on sale and at the moment I've already got a growing backlog of games I need to finish up so I just dont think the dlc's (short as they are) are really worth buying at full price

I may just play them on my alt to see if they were worth the money.

 

I hate how the Wolfenstein II interface just isn't as good as it's predecessors. It just feels too barebones when other AAA games have made their interface a lot better and more convenient to use.

Yeah certainly wasn't one of the strongest aspects of the game thats for sure, not that it bothered me to much but I can see how it could be somewhat of an annoyance to others

Sorry if someone's already answered this in this thread (Haven't read through it) but as the previous Wolfenstein games you can reply last chapter on the hardest difficulty and still get the trophy.. Does it work on this one?!

No

Cheers guys I have a question that goes out to all the 100% Club achievers, I'm thinking of buying this game next month. I definitely do know that i won't aim for the platinum here. ( would love to try it and i guess my skills in this genre might be high enough to achieve it but i would never have the patience to start all over and over again so my respect for ALL of you, who made it through gthe game and even to those who at least tried it!! ) 

 

My plan ist to play this game even without getting the platinum and just for fun but definitely want the highest possible completion %. 

My question is: how hard are the dlc "mein leben" runs compared to the main game. Specifically: how long are those runs? 

 

Really interested in this game so any answer is appreciated. Greetz, Nate = )

Well Nate even though I'm not officially part of the 100% achievers club ... yet (still waiting for the dlc's to go on sale at some point again :P) I have done a bit of research on each of them and in comparison to main game's mein leben run the dlc ones are FAR easier. It really just boils down to the fact that the dlc ones actually give you checkpoints after each "stage" meaning as long as you complete a stage you won't have do It all over again unlike the main game. The length of each dlc as far as I can tell are also much, much shorter than the main game's run. Depending on how many times you do die I'd say you should be able to knock each of them out in about 1-2 hours worth of gameplay. 

 

Happy hunting ^__^

I was waiting for a response too. Nice to know I won't have that much of a hard time with the DLC in comparison to the main game. Thank you. Will start this game some time around august.

New players might find them somewhat hard but not impossible as unlike the main game, the dlcs are divided by “chapters” so you wont have to do mein leben in 1 run.

 

with that said, experienced players who finished mein leben in the main game will obviously find the dlcs easier because they already know what to expect pretty much.

 

2-3 hours on mein leben for each dlc.

 

also one other note: the dlcs/season pass are not worth full price. All 3 dlcs are kinda disappointing imo. I really enjoyed wolfenstein 2, my top fps game of all time but the dlcs are a joke in comparison when it comes to quality. Wait for a sale.

Then I'm glad I bought the DLC while it was on sale. Good thing I have that habbit to save money ?

Cheers Mate, thanks for the research. Seen some YT Videos but wasn't quite sure about the difficulty. Guess I will give Wolfenstein II a shot by the end of the year and hunt any trophy except "Mein Leben". This game looks so damn awesome. Would love to hunt the platinum as well. Hence the fact that I platted all Wolfenstein Games, even the classic one on PS3 and all other Stacks on PS4 from Old Blood and New Order but I have no patience for a complete run

Thank you Ulven for your opinion on the dlc. Yes, many friends said to me that the dlcs aren't that good. So i hopefully will grab them all for some bugs by the end of the year though. :-)

It's a huge time investment for Mein Leben.

 

I may tackle this game later this year but right now I got too much going on in my life to start too many games.

 

Big respect to all the guys who 100 percented Wolfenstein II. Even though the DLCs are probably easier, you still have to do them on a hard difficulty setting without dying.

This game is breaking me right now, I made it all the way up to the final room before the bosses and "died" because i got stuck on some shitty geometry trying to run away from the robo-dog that randomly agros and now can't even manage to make it back through courthouse again due to constantly shitty luck. The amount of times that I have died to something completely uncontrollable is ridiculous. To anyone considering this I really recommend having a lot of patience and being willing to put up with multiple 1-4 hour runs even when you do everything perfectly.

Managed to make it back through to New Orleans - Lakeview but died in the section with the two heavies. They randomly got alerted while dealing with the other soldiers and I tried backing up to the pipe you enter from, which usually works however the laser heavy decided to walk around above and behind me and stay there leaving me with the only option of running out of the pipe. Of course while trying to get out the debris makes it hard to run straight out and I bounced around to get killed by the heavy shooting me from behind. Unfortunate but at least something caused by my own error. Generally it takes me roughly 3 hours to get to Venus and so far I can pretty consistently get through there. The main places I seem to be dying apart from random alerts or other bullshit is penthouse (I've had a few runs now where either the drone refuses to go to somewhere I can shoot it until the point where I have to run down from the upgrade corner, or for some reason enemies don't even come up the stairs and just camp the room downstairs I use) and courthouse (mostly fair deaths, sometimes you just get hit by stray bullets/heavy explosions etc). Honestly harder then anything is trawling through the first hour (reach penthouse in an hour and courtroom in about 1:30 - 2 hrs) or so to get past the starting sections where I never die anymore.

I managed to finish, I've never had such a sense of euphoria and stress release after beating a game anything I could say would be an understatement for how much of an achievement completing this feels like. Sure it might not take as long as some other games (I've maybe clocked 75 hours or so, I took my first playthrough very slowly on death incarnate without guides and practicing my own ways through encounters.) but in terms of skill it's up there near the top. I'll probably do a write up for some of my own tips and findings throughout the game a bit later. To anyone else attempting this, keep trying you will get better and you will get faster and faster, by the end my runs were down to roughly 4-5 hours if I had no breaks.

[stargate1995]

Alright so here's my write up for Mein Leben. I'll be using Kreeper V's video as reference for most of the strategies with some more advice/alt strats throughout. Kreepers video is a great guide and very informative for many parts of the run and is definitely worth watching, though there are a fair amount of points where safer strats can be applied. Generally Kreeper tries to go fast but few of the sections require such speed and trying to replicate the speed can lead to easy (and deadly) screw ups.

 

Heres Kreeper V's video for reference.

 

 

So to start some general tips and comments:

• Personally I ran with dual Machinpistole, I however never honestly tried out the Pistol so I can't say which is better, Machinpistole was just what I found comfortable and rolled with. My upgrade order throughout the run was: Machinpistole (Suppressor), Machinpistole (Nailgun), Sturmgewehr (Marksmans Scope), Sturmgewehr (Armor Pierce), Laserkraftwerk (Supercharge), Machinpistole (Drum Mag), Stockhammer (Ricochet), Stockhammer (Rotor), Laserkraftwerk (Battery Upgrade), Sturmgewehr (Jungle Mag), Stockhammer (Extended Mag). This order can be altered and changed and is not particularly something set in stone however you must have Supercharge for Laserkraftwerk before placing the nuke in Rosswell, as well as making sure that you have Stockhammer upgrades for the final bosses (though there's enough extra upgrade kits that this really should not be an issue, just remember to upgrade it).
• Pay attention while you playthrough the game to corners/entrances to new zones etc. If you mess up a zone your first priority is either to run like hell and hope you make it to the next zone (not always possible, always comes with risks) or to attempt to retreat to a safe spot and take your time (still risky but this is usually a lot safer so long as you know somewhere relatively safe). Knowing the layout of the level is important and knowing where you can safely retreat to will 100% save your life on occasion. You are going to mess up sections. I cannot stress that enough. Nothing will ever go 100% right and you need to be prepared for what happens when it goes horribly wrong.
• Sometimes during Kreepers video he handles heavies by first slashing their fuel tanks and then shooting the oil and exploding them, instantly killing them. THIS DOES NOT WORK. I do not know why but for whatever reason this never ever worked, at least not for myself. Every single time I attempted this the outcome was a back explosion however the heavy survived. As a result of this you have to shoot them after the explosion, this completely changed how I tackled the first section of Venus and made other sections ever so slightly riskier. If you do shoot them after the explosion it can count as a stealth kill still however I only ever managed to have that happen once and it just isn't worth taking the risk in most cases.
• Take it slow if your nervous or unsure of doing a certain strategy. It can be very risky speeding through a section while low on health or without having practiced the section, and so many times it just isn't necessary to rush through. To put it simply if you get caught midway through a section and your not 100% sure what to do you are dead. But if you took your time moving slowly and took out as many enemies as you could as you moved forward a lot of the times you will be able to retreat to safety and deal with enemies as they come at you. Personally I had trouble in Manhattan early on because Kreeper rushes through some of the segments very quickly and unless you practice them it can be easy to get caught out and mess it up. After a few run throughs you will probably feel more comfortable taking the faster routes but I do recommend considering a slower approach your first few times through certain locations.
• Throwing axes seems amazing and would be amazing. If they worked 100% of the time. About 1/10 times they will glitch in some way, you will "throw" it without actually throwing it (you still lose the axe) this also usually causes a sound and alerts enemies. It sucks when this happens and can completely mess you up if it happens at a bad time. The only way to not have to worry about this is to try and minimise the amount of times your rely on them or be prepared for it to glitch and to throw another. Other issues such as not throwing but instead doing the melee attack when to close to the wall (this happens 100% with the first commander in Venus and is super frustrating) this also causes a sound and will mess you up. They also aren't always 1 hit kills, some of the enemies (heavily armored) will take 2 depending on where you hit them (I think heavily armored rad suit enemies will always take 2 but I can't say for sure). Just be smart about when/where you use one but don't rely on them too heavily.
• You will die. It will suck. Most of the time you wont have been able to do anything to prevent it. I have died near the very end because I got stuck on awkward geometry and had to restart the game. Just stick to it, you get better and better the more you play and more and more efficient. Eventually you will blitz through the beginning like it is nothing. By the end of my runs I had the entire game memorised, I hope you have good memory because otherwise you will be spending a lot of time referencing the guide.

Alright, that's a lot of tips. Let's get started with more indepth section by section:

• Evas hammer, there isn't much to say about this section apart from the fact that it sucks. I hate this section simply because it's so different from the rest of the game being in the wheelchair and because dying here sucks, a lot. Use Kreepers strats for pretty much all the zones in this starting section. Be careful not to park your wheelchair out to far in the very first doorway because sometimes the first 3 enemies will absolutely light you up if you are too far out.
• Around 6:53 in Kreepers video he gets shot by the guy in the upper catwalk. Pay attention here and be on the look out in case this guy runs over to that same spot (it's the guy from the right side of the upper catwalk who runs across, not the one from the center) if you do have the same problem immediately back up, go through the electro trap gap where you killed the previous soldier and down to you right. Lean out so that you can shoot back into the room and shoot the gas canister down below the enemies. This should always manage to kill the guy on the upper floor if he has moved to this position. After that just move back and deal with the room normally.
• At 8:55 going down the conveyor belt there is a canister you can shoot down at the bottom that if timed right should kill both of the soldiers as they run over. Sometimes they just randomly wont die so you still have to be ready to shoot them down but 9/10 times they will die

 

• Ausmerzer, this section is really simple. There really isn't anything you should do differently then Kreepers strats, though in the room at 12:53 with the two commanders I generally wait about 10 seconds for the soldiers to walk down and away from the commanders before axing the second commander. If you don't wait then the soldiers will probably notice the commander and go onto alert which can just be annoying. As an extension to this I wait for the solider to be positioned pretty much right under the vent Kreeper drops down from before stealth killing him. After killing him you can just turn around and shoot down the final two guys.

 

• Section F, Another relatively simple section however there's some small things to look out for. In the first rooms at 21:12 once you reach the two nazis talking to each other the one on the left will sometimes be turned around. As far as I could tell there was absolutely no reason behind this but it was frustrating the first few times it happened and I wasn't expecting it. Just lean out and try to check if he is facing you or not before you sneak up behind him. Usually you will be able to tell whether he is or not but sometimes he will sorta do one of their "huh" lines as if he spotted you if he is facing your direction without actually getting alerted till your too close. If he is facing you just shoot him and the other guy then wait at the bottom of the stairs, one of the guys from upstairs will come running down and you can take him out easily. After that just go up the stairs and keep walking along, the last two enemies will pretty much just run ou into the middle of the hallway and be easy to shoot. If he isn't looking and you and you can continue to stealth through the section just make sure not to get to close to them as it will turn into a melee takedown instead of an axe throw which might end up with you getting shot a lot by the other guy.
• At 22:53 instead of axing the commander just sneak up behind and takedown this never failed me and I didn't have to worry about axe glitches/missing. Sometimes (only happened once in 20 runs) there will be a guy walking towards where you are around 23:07 if this happens and you get spotted just sprint on through and up the ladder and you should be fine.
• At 23:32 I never had the other guys notice me the way they did in Kreepers video but essentially just do it the same. Of note the second guy in the white shirt if your stealthing doesn't seem to be takedownable because of the stairs so just throwing axe him and don't bother trying to takedown him.
• 24:00 Kreepers strat is solid. Just be aware that sometimes enemies will run along the left upper catwalk (not standing near the laser turret but moving up further) and can shoot you, they are probably the most dangerous because they consistently hit you, but apart from that just take out enemies as they come. The laser turret pretty much wont touch you at all if your standing correctly.

 

• Intermission, as another user here mentioned there's a glitch to get an extra upgrade kit after the drone. I personally just run right up to the pipes, turn around and crouch and you can instantly grab it.

  After Sektion F, you'll get one Upgrade Kit in the Shooting Range but you can get a second one at the same time which could make the your life a bit easier. This is something I haven't seen anyone do so I like to think I discovered it. After killing the drone (27:55, Keeper), follow the path down the stairs and climb up ladder at the end. Crouch under some pipes and walk almost all the way to the Shooting range exit but don't drop down. Now turn around and slowly move forward. At some point you should see a prompt to grab an Upgrade Kit (the one which you'd eventually get by completing the contraption training course). It only shows up for about half a second so move slowly or you'll miss it in which case just back up and try again.

• The armor kit in the ammo depot respawns between missions so make sure to always grab that if you ever need armor.

 

• Manhattan, as I mentioned earlier I had trouble in the first few parts of Manhattan on my first few runs. This was due to having trouble executing Kreepers strat fast enough and accurately enough. To note going into this section I would have both suppressor and nailgun on the Machinpistole.
• At 29:45 Kreeper runs up the hill and immediately kills the guy on the other side of the log. This speed is not necessary and is riskier. Instead walk up the hill and wait for the enemy he kills at 29:53 to walk off and then walk back. He will stop pretty much in the middle of the gap in the wall where you can shoot him (should only take 4 shots with Nailgun). Immediately after killing him sneak across the log and look to your left. The second enemy (Kreeper 30:00) will either be walking towards you or away into the next room (this only happens maybe 1/5 times, if this happens just continue as if you killed him), if he is walking towards you shoot him immediately until he is dead and move up to the doorway sticking to the left side. If done correctly you should be able to lean out and look into the next room and see the commander and another enemy walking out into the center of the room where you can easily shoot and kill them (commander first) after killing them just continue sneaking up to the next zone. Also to note I never managed to have the second commander where Kreeper kills him at 30:45, but once your on the fire escape you can just keep walking to the next section anyway.
• Before you walk into the room at 30:58 prepare your laserkraftwerk, walk into the room and look down where the drone is flying around, slightly towards the left of where the drone starts is a little broken down bed, I usually aim for the head of that bed as the drone will glide right over that spot allowing you to shoot and kill it instantly. Essentially you want to kill the drone before it flies outside of the building and before dropping down yourself. If you do happen to miss the drone then just wait and eventually it will come back into site (though on the outside of the building) where you can shoot it down. If you kill it outside the building just sprint through the next zone and don't worry about the two enemies at 31:35. If however you managed to kill the drone successfully you can continue to sneak down and drop down into the building following the same path as Kreeper, the enemies will not be on alert and you can sneak around the right side of the car at 31:23 and kill both enemies from behind and proceed to run to the next zone.
• At 34:53 after killing the second enemy turn left and continue through a hole in the wall on your right. This skips the rest of that building. At around 36:00 I generally would wait till the robot had passed and then continue a building over to your left (past the dumpster with 100 armor) and grab the heavy weapon, running to crouch right infront of the window Kreeper is shooting through at 36:06 (on the inside of the building not the outside) and shooting the robot with that. So long as you are crouched you will take no damage. After that just run immediately up to the spot Kreeper ends up at 37:51, if you were fast enough you will be able to shoot at the enemies which causes them to all run out into the open. Just wait awhile for the dog/commander.

 

• Penthouse, Kreepers strat is solid here. Though personally I usually stand on the crates behind the upgrade kit. Just make sure you kill the drone fast and head down the stairs when the first helicopter comes by (usually all the enemy bodies will glitch out so it's pretty clear). Watch out for grenades or any guys potentially hiding in the safe spot. Usually while running towards the spot I will throw a grenade towards the right to make the enemies pause for a second and give me time to get there and to shoot them down. Though this doesn't always help. For the 3rd heavy if it doesn't show up pretty much immediately after you kill the second chances are its coming from the left, usually you will be able to hear it make a noise similar to the noise they make when they charge forwards if its on the left side.

 

• Section F Revisit, I use the skip.
• Intermission, go and grab the upgrade kit from the killing rooms.

 

• Roswell, Follow Kreepers strat until 56:08, then DO NOT RUN. This really frustrated me but this is an example of Kreeper doing something needlessly risky that got me killed multiple times because I panicked and missed the jump. Crouch down to the spot Kreeper jumps down from paying attention the the noises the robot makes (it is meant to go to sleep but sometimes it'll stand in place activated, you should be able to tell what it's doing by sound). If the robot is asleep, good, shoot the other enemy walking back and forwards here and then takedown the robot. If the robot is awake then use some intuition and either shoot it down and then the enemy or just attempt the jump. If you managed to take out the robot and the soldier then you should be safe to climb up on the railing that Kreeper does at 56:12 (I like to walk into the corner and climb up, not run along the rail as he does). If you miss the jump don't panic, crouch and make your way immediately back and try again. You shouldn't get caught however usually you have limited time before someone finds a body and the enemies go on alert. If you happened to miss it twice then you will probably get detected but you can generally get one more attempt in sprinting back up.
• On the train in the final carriage at 59:18 you can just kill the two robots downstairs and then head to the front of the train instead of dealing with the scientist and 2 enemies behind you. The last two enemies will be facing away and can be takedowned.
• For the elevator I vary from Kreepers strat. Kill the enemy at 1:01:51, then continue forward to the next room and kill the next enemy. Then head back following Kreepers path to the spot he is at 1:02:13, instead of waiting here jump onto the railing and then onto the blueish pipes you can see on your left, walk down them slightly and you should see a red wheel. Jump and stand on top of this and wait for the elevator. Once it arrives stand up and hop over the railing immediately infront of you and make your way to the switch. From here just follow Kreeper. To note I did get spotted by the heavy on the elevator somehow twice while hiding, if this happens run immediately towards the back left side (facing the switch) and kill the heavy, a robot and another heavy using the Sturmgewehrs and then cleanup the rest of the enemies once you reach the top.
• At 1:05:47 I waited a guard cycle before moving on, this just meant I was always able to take out the guard Kreeper kills at 1:05:53 without risking getting caught. It can be annoying to try and take out the second robot and the final two guys completely stealth and generally taking out one will alert the other (the robot seems to wake up 9/10 times as soon as you kill one of the last two guys) so just be careful.
• In the room at 1:09:49 the heavy will 50% of the time just randomly know exactly where you are so I didn't bother trying to stealth this properly. What I would do is stealth down and take out the first robot, then take out the other robot from a distance and take cover in the center of the room (immediately in front of where Kreeper is at 1:06:55) and just take out the heavy from afar. This doesn't cause any issues moving forward and there's armor in the room for if you take damage from the heavy.

 

• Courthouse, not much to say here apart from the fact that this section is pretty much just skill based. Follow Kreepers strat with one minor alteration (to do with the dog, mentioned soon), keep an eye out for grenades and just kill any enemy you can that gets to spots that are dangerous to you.
• While dual wielding it's difficulty to shoot through the gap on the right of the ammo crate if not impossible, if you 2h the machinpistole however you can shoot through that gap. This is useful for taking down the second heavy or for killing enemies that are standing back in between the cameras you can see through this gap.
• The dog. A lot of people have convoluted methods for dealing with this guy, a lot of people call him a run killer. If you follow this then he is 100% a non issue. After you kill the heavies crouch down behind your boxes and look out just slightly to the left of the boxes. Make sure you are in dual wield mode and fully reloaded. Wait maybe 2 seconds (if your nervous don't wait) and just start shooting at the air about dog height. The dog will literally run into your stream of bullets and kill itself. After it's dead just turn around and continue as of 1:17:49.
• Sometimes the first robot doesn't come up the stairs, just pay attention to how many robots you kill and if you don't kill 3 then just walk slightly out of your room once its safe till you hear an explosion then head back in. The robot will now be running up to you.
• With the 3 final heavies only the first 2 will actually come towards you, usually I kill them and then run around the upper floor (not heading into the courtroom itself but going up and down the slopes) to the opposite room and looking into the courtroom from here. The last heavy will be facing away from you on the opposite side of the room. He turns around fast so try to blow him up first.

 

• Bunker, nothing to change with how Kreeper does things and very little to comment on. Just be careful and make sure your following what he does correctly. In the final rooms with the two commanders be careful as I have had a run where the downstairs commander walked all the way up stairs, noticed me and instantly fired his grenade pistol killing me instantly. 

 

• New Orleans 1, grab the kit Kreeper mentions at 1:41:07 and then shoot the heavies pack with your stealth guns till it explodes/he dies (if you remember I mentioned the oil explosion isn't an instant kill like Kreeper shows), and just run up to the balcony. Sometimes you might take a small amount of damage and that's fine, I just recommend you go with the second strat for the next section if you do.
• Do as Kreeper does and kill the Panzerhund however you have two options:
  • Continue as Kreeper does and use his strat (I have had it where an enemy was camping the safe spot stairs and I took damage trying to get to them, it wasn't a death but it's enough to scare the crap out of you) this is faster but riskier.
  • Use my alternate strat. Stay on the balcony, 2 hand the sturmgewehrs and snipe out any enemies that come into sight. If anyone starts shooting at you or you take damage just turn around and head back into the wall, grab some health/armor and return to the balcony. Usually heading back inside will de agro the enemies and they will go back into search mode/walk out into the open and you can abuse this to kill, go back inside when they hide, come back out and kill and repeat. This method is 100% safe though slow (it takes maybe 10 minutes to kill everyone).
• Regardless what you do just follow Kreeper through the next few sections. 
• At 1:51:49 I just use the hole in the ground there as a safe spot and take the enemies down from here. Just be careful because there's no armor in the downstairs rooms. The heavies only spawn when you walk out onto the street so you are able to heal/armor up in the upper rooms beforehand if need be. Again just be safe and take out the heavies quickly (I use the laserkraftwerk fully charged before I spawn them in to ko the first one).

 

• Panzerhund, again as another user has mentioned this method works perfectly:

  On 6/17/2018 at 1:10 AM, l33sar54 said:

  * New Orleans Panzerhund section: second major deviation from Keeper's strategy. I found a video I forgot to bookmark and as such I'll only describe it (thank you random internet person for saving my runs). Immediately after you get control of the robot, get off, lean out from behind the fence at 1:52:42 (Keeper, next to the red car) and start shooting enemies wielding dual Sturmgewehrs (there are two ammo boxes in a room behind you, walk around a second car). This will take around 10--15 minutes and some precise shooting so get ready but there's almost no risk involved (one or two guys will try to rush you but the street is long and you'll have plenty of time to line up your shots). The commander eventually starts running towards you (at about 50 meters he stops so you need to shoot in the air to make him move again) and after that, you're golden. Run through the whole empty section and you have Panzerhund with 800 armor ready for the final stretch starting at 1:53:15 (Keeper).

• I use the Panzer all the way down to the bottom and till the entrance to the sewers. When you have full armor this is easy as hell.

 

• New Orleans 3, I hate the zone at 2:02:11 because it pretty much never goes the same way. Just play it by ear and try to stealth as much guys as you can. I was using the pipe you enter the zone as a safe spot for the heavies however this backfired on me when one of the heavies walked around behind and above the entrance trapping me in it with no way out without getting obliterated so I can't 100% recommend it for your own safety.
• Again l33sar54 with a helpful tip, though I actually found you can skip the last 4 enemies using the Battle Walker to climb up to the last floor, I wouldn't recommend trying that without practice first however.

  On 6/17/2018 at 1:10 AM, l33sar54 said:

  * New Orleans Hotel: at around 2:03:37 (Keeper), you can stay where Keeper is standing and pick off the guys from distance so that you don't have to worry about someone sneaking up on you from the left. Works perfectly for baiting the guys out from upper floors, too: Battle Walker to the next floor, drop down, run to hide and start shooting once the enemies start moving from the doorway. Take your time on the final floor since there will one shotgunner and one regular guy just before the final room moving towards you. Lean from a distance and shoot them before exiting the level.

 

• Venus 1, follow Kreepers strats for the first room, be careful of the commander at 2:10:47 as your axe will dink the wall just as Kreepers does. For the second room as the oil strat DOES NOT WORK there's two alternatives I found:
  • This was a weird one that I found but I honestly don't recommend doing it unless you really want to do the area similarly to how Kreeper does it. Before you enter the room make sure you only have one throwing axe (throw excess at the ground in the room prior) then walk up behind the heavy (not too close, you don't want to cut his tank) and throw your axe at his butt. Immediately after throwing walk into the heavy and spam the melee attack until he dies. For whatever reason because the first throw staggers him nobody gets alerted when you melee him to death so if done successfully you will have successfully killed the heavy without anyone being alerted. The problem with this? Sometimes it just doesn't work and you either don't stagger the heavy or don't kill him fast enough. The reason you throw your axes away is so that you don't accidentally chuck them at the ground after killing him and alerting everyone. You can go and get them back after. Anyway after doing this you would just go and throwing axe the guy sitting down and then takedown the standing one and progress as normal.
  • Go all out and just kill everything guns blazing. Stealth kill computer guy and either do the oil strat to weaken the heavy/maybe kill those other two guys and then just backup to the doorway where you entered the room and kill anything that moves. This is honestly pretty easy and fairly low risk so long as your leaning and not being stupid. You have to deal with I believe 2 heavies (might be 3), 2 robots, a dog and a dozen normal enemies before you can move up to the center rooms where 2 more heavies will be waiting (just walk up till your out of the first room and retreat back to where you came from and the heavies will move out, they wont move until you go forward though so you can't just wait in the safe spot forever). Anyway you pretty much just keep moving forward and taking out anything in the way and you should be fine. Once you reach the scientist rooms just enter, take one out and then backup to where Kreeper is stood at 2:15:44 and kill the 2 robots and half dozen scientists.

 

• Venus 2, As you see in Kreepers vids it's pretty easy for parts to go wrong here so be prepared for when they do. When heading through the doors at 2:18:38 stick to the left side as I have had the heavy see me straight away when I entered because I was too far to the right.
• 2:22:35, take out the robots and then take out the heavy after he passes your doorway on his second rotation. Take out the drones and the last robot that appear. I do it this way so that in the off case I had to retreat in the next zone I didn't have them behind me (this never actually happened but as you see it happened to Kreeper where he had to retreat). This is pretty much no risk as there is a lot of health/armor around. For the next area just do what Kreeper explains you would do in stealth (stick to the right, take out the guy over the gap, then up the stairs, take out the next guy and the commander and leg it. You don't need to kill robo dog just run past it).
• 2:33:00, you have to put some shots into the heavy after blowing up the oil for this to work. I have messed up this section before but you are able to run back to the room you came from and kill the enemies from there. Because of this I kill the robot on my way up (this is safe and easy).
• Conveyor belt 2.0. As you might know there is a bug where one of the enemies doesn't path properly and you can't shoot him. He will appear on your left if you look at Kreepers vid at 2:36:24. Now if you have full health and shield you should be fine but if this happens to me (and most of the times it did) I would throw a grenade at the wall behind him, usually it bounces off and misses (I actually killed him once though) but it still should cause him to stop for a few seconds and give you more of a chance.
• Take the next section slow, there's no need to rush. I've died here because i set the alarm and got stuck in a room with the robo-dog. It's not nice. There is also no armor and little health in the entire section. It sucks especially after unlucky damage to conveyor. At 2:38:07 idk why Kreepers guys were acting weird but what should happen is there's only one guy who paths back and forwards on the far bridge. You can take him out easy and then take everyone else out as they aren't looking at you.
• Final room you can do as Kreeper does or you can equip a shotgun, walk completely straight jump over the counters and up to the globe and shoot it when you are literally touching it and drop straight down. Nobody will notice you till you shoot if done correctly.

 

• Intermission, Get the ramshackles and upgrade them, they are a god send and the armor regen makes the final so much easier.

 

• Ausmerzer, here we are the very end. Nervous? Don't be. Most of the final level isn't that hard and at this point is nothing you shouldn't be ready for. Have confidence in your skills and know that you got this. I just want to point out at the start of the level if you don't move enemies come from behind you and they will shoot you. I almost got killed because I didn't move and was swapping weapons.
• Crouch after pushing the button at 2:45:45 and shoot down that drone asap before you move to the spot Kreeper uses. Be super attentive for the grenades, I died straight away my first time because a grenade was thrown while the drone blew up and I thought it was just a piece of the drone and lost 100/100 health armor instantly. There is 5 guys in this room so just keep count as you kill them.
• 2:55:10, sometimes I would take damage to the heavy if I was standing however I never took damage while crouched. So, crouch.
• After killing the guy at 2:56:12 I like to turn around and take the long way around the room to circle around behind the final guy so I don't screw up like Kreeper does. He should never turn around so this is completely safe.
• 2:58:47, Don't go to the boxes Kreeper goes to and just stick back on the stairs and watch the dog, if it comes running then back up SLOWLY so that you don't run over the edge to fast and run off and die. That can happen and it sucks. Anyway take it out as Kreeper does and then wait however long for the commander to come out (I had to wait like 5 minutes), take him out and then just take everything else out using the stairs as cover.
• The final, watch Kreepers vid thoroughly before you start. Remember, You Got This. Make sure you're at full health/armor and make sure your Stockhammer is fully upgraded. Make sure your Laserkraftwerk has full ammo. With Ramshackles this fight isn't too difficult as there are plenty of armor drops throughout and the regen will keep you topped up. The most important thing is to make sure you kill the first 6 heavies quickly and make your way down into the H. In the H area there is a total of 75 armor you can pick up and 3 shotgun ammo crates close to the front right entrance. The shotguns have surprisingly long range especially in the H section so don't worry about shooting enemies from distances, most of the time they will go down with 2 shots (2 bursts from each gun). Just keep running around and be alert of any enemies coming down. I'm pretty sure there is a limit to how many enemies will spawn but I can't say with 100% certainty. Once you feel you have killed enough go topside and take down the robots. Make sure you don't miss your shots and just keep moving. If you need health/armor here is whats up for grabs:
  • Armor 130 bottom right
  • Armor 40 and Health 120 top right
  • Armor 50 top left
  • Armor 50 and Health 120 bottom left
• Once you have killed the robots kill any stragglers from a distance, don't run right up to them and get yourself killed. I almost did that myself. BJ will talk once everything is dead. Congratulations, you did it. Go and finish off Frau Engel in probably one of the most satisfying victories you will ever feel.

 

This ended up being pretty damned long but I hope it can help some people out. Just remember, all of the guides and my own advice above is only advice. You're probably going to find some things just don't work for you and that's fine. You need to be ready to make your own way through parts but you will get there in the end. Just gotta stick to it and not give up.

Hi guys!
How does Mein Leiben works? I mean, I know there is no save feature, but is it safe to exit the game at any point for a break? or it will reset the run to the beginning?

You can’t close the application and stay in the run when you open it again, if you need a break just pause it or put it in rest mode.

Amazing game!!! 

[XxIsa-GxX]

I think this game hates me. Yesterday I made a practice run on IADI without deaths, today I died at the Venus Part II where you have to stealth a section before using elevator and taking the ODIN codes. Freaking amazing...

[XxIsa-GxX]

Now at Venus I... I cleared the lower floor and headed to upstairs. I killed 2 Elite Soldiers and then headed to commanders room. As soon as I killed the dog robot threw me 2 explosives that knocked me and lowered my health to 26 and after that it killed me (it didn't happen on my other 3 Venus fails)
