Permadeath mode rules

[Odion13]

 

TLOU Strategist got the DLC early and went through all the modes and unlockables. Here's a screenshot of the rules for permadeath mode. He also said the DLC comes out on Thursday. Looks like the easiest option will be per chapter. You might be able to get away with per chapter perma death on grounded+ maybe and just do 1 playthrough

Even with per chapter option, Grounded is quite a challenge

I had a feeling that there would be some kinda catch with this trophy.

[MANU1950]

Not information about difficult mode.

[sepheroithisgod]

The Per Chapter option will be the easiest and can definitely be combined with an easy playthrough.

 

I will say, I'm not a fan of the quitting the game/closing the application rule. If the power goes out your screwed.

Per chapter won’t be that bad.  No save scum ability (not that it is needed with a per chapter option).

[trojbrown40]

YES!!! I can still kill premeditated murder Abby at the start of every chapter now over and over and over and over and over and over again!!! This just made my day!

[anilcanballi]

Permadeath will be easy with the per chapter mode then.

 

  I would expect "Permadeath DLC" with 3 trophies for chapter mode, act mode, and the whole game. ?

There is no "catch", this is actually sad and extremely easy. They legit made permadeath a NON-challenge. lmfao

Well it won't be that big a deal if you're doing Per Chapter, and it makes sense at the end of the day, you can't cheese it that way.

Because it's literally the same as TLOU1.

 

 

This is dumb. lmfao literally goes against the point of having Permadeath mode in the first place.

The Per Chapter version kinda reminds me of Iron Mode from Metro Exodus.

Anybody knows if I can do this on ng+ while clean up the missed collectibles and upgrades I got on my first run? That way I'll get the plat+ this trophy, then do another run on grounded afterwards

Nah, Permadeath is only on a new game. But the collectibles, I think, are saved differently so they may carry over but you can't see that they've carried over.

[BADMUSTAFA]

You cant do NG+ 

you need to replay all story on new game or the Permadeath will Disable also if you do any Cheat in game cause there is a option Cheat come to in Game (infinte/Ammo/MeleeDuration/Crafting) if you use any of them the 2 trophy will disabled to / Quite game / Close Application / Manual Save -> will Disable Permadeath -> the only way with CheckPoint 

[Allhelluja]

 

Permadeath is available on NG+, but you have to start a new run.

[StraightVege]

Sounds a lot easier than I expected. It's not really permadeath if it checkpoints your progress anywhere, heh.

Does anyone know if I finish my upgrades in the middle of the game (on new game plus) will I be able to new game plus again from there so I can stack these trophies or will I have to get some over again?

Permadeath doesn't seem very permadeath at all. They could have at least made it a bit more of a challenge. Sure, the game is too long to be played through in one sitting and I'd be paranoid that I'd get a blackout (even though we never do) if I left the game paused/rest mode. Just ramp up the difficulty and give us three strategic saves

I mean you have three options you can make as challenging or less challenging as you want.  Actually you have much more than 3 options you can do it by chapter or by act or by game and you can also do it by difficulty grounded, survivor, easy, very light.  So go ahead and do it on grounded and set the permadeath to all save data wiped on death and have fun.

 

 

So does anybody know if the permadeath run can be a ng+ run?

My guess is you're going to have to finish that current ng+ for the upgrades to stick fro the next one.   I'm in the same boat.
