Popular Post proud2bNs Posted September 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) Hey guys, I found a way to enable the built-in cheats/gameplay modifiers in Grounded Mode. They are usually disabled by default. This will save you a lot of time and will drop the difficulty even further. It removes all remaining challenge that might be left after enabling accessibility options. There will be no reason to not combine permadeath and grounded in one playthrough for those of you that still hesitate. 1. Start a new playthrough (NG or NG+) on Grounded. This will disable and lock all gameplay modifiers in the options menu. 2. Play through the prologue ("Jackson"), 3. When reaching "The Gate" in Seattle Day 1: Manually SAVE YOUR GAME, 4. Quit to the main menu and start any "Story -> Encounters" on any difficulty except for Grounded, 5. After loading into the encounter navigate to "Options -> Extras -> Gameplay Modifiers" and enable any modifiers you like. 6. Quit back to main menu, 7. Select "Story -> Continue" in main menu. 8. You are back at "The Gate" with all cheats enabled that you previously selected. There is still no way to enable or disable them in the options menu, but the game will indicate that they are enabled by showing the slider on the right end of the bar. You have to repeat the process after quitting and restarting the game, but it will take only 2-3 minutes. It works with the current patch. This method will give you: - Infinite Ammo - Infinite Crafting Materials - One Shot / One Hit Kills You can just shoot through most encounters in a few seconds instead of crawling slowly through them ("Invisible while prone"). You don't have to scavenge anymore. Bosses will die in one hit, therefore all remaining challenge of Grounded is gone. EDIT: It 100% works, just got my trophy. Trophies are NOT disabled when using this glitch. Have fun guys! Edited September 30, 2020 by proud2bNs 118 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayellie Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I don't think I'll be trying this out since I'd love to experience TLOU2 as a true survival game sometime in the future, but this glitch is great for anyone who doesn't prefer that and would like to get through the game quicker. Would be great if the guide author updated the guide to reflect this glitch (if it doesn't disable trophies) for those who don't tend to check the Forum often. I'm sure this will be very helpful to plenty of players. Thanks for sharing! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post XXIIlII Posted September 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2020 Nice find. I tried to get both trophies legit but I quit like 4 times in the first 15 minutes. This game is not meant to be played a second time. So boring. 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still need confirmation that this doesn't disable trophies but i'm 99% sure it won't because it's a glitch. I'm planning to finish my Grounded playthrough later today, but it's a loooong game. If someone else could confirm this in the meantime, it would be really helpful. This is so awesome, thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emboliformis Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I've already done grounded & permadeath on the same run. This could have made it so much easier lmao, great find! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycho_clank314 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 You absolute madlad, I'm going to try this. I did the OG TLOU on grounded legit, but I don't mess with permadeath trophies. I will use glitches to get them if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucky0ne16 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) how long does it take to get to the area we need to quit, i have yet to start a new game plus, when we quit for the day, what steps do we need to do to continue our saves for grounded with cheats Edited September 30, 2020 by lucky0ne16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need an encounter to replay from the menu. That should be the case after you finished the first real encounter in the game. But the prologue is not too hard and can be done in an hour or two. It depends on your skills, stealth or no stealth and if you skip cutscenes or not.

lucky0ne16 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 thanks, i have beaten the game already, so to do the glich we just need to replay a encounter and click on what we want and quit and resume story ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhyrxianLibrarin Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Well I was gonna put this off, but it's probably time to do this before it gets patched. Could this work if you have permadeath enabled as well? Or does the save & exit mean you can't load back in the same way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Permadeath still saves the game continuously but only outside of encounters (while in the story). If you follow the instructions closely you will be just at the beginning of a new chapter and your progress was saved immediately before you quit out. I think the glitch should work without any changes necessary but i can't test this (no save file). The game will actually warn you that it's not save to leave the game while in combat. You can also check if it's safe by pressing OPTIONS, there is message indicating this in the pause menu. 3 minutes ago, lucky0ne16 said: thanks, i have beaten the game already, so to do the glich we just need to replay a encounter and click on what we want and quit and resume story ? Yes. But make sure to manually save your game. The autosave from the story might be overwritten accidentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally wouldn't be good enough to get through all of Jackson on Permadeath + Grounded I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirrors1118 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Just tried this can confirm this works on grounded + perma-death mode. The earliest you can do is right after you finish the patrol chapter so you get the marketplace encounter to show up in your main menu. There are 4 clickers in total and you get about 4 rifle bullets and 4 handgun bullets. You also get another molotov so hopefully you can kill one with the molotov.

No. You have to load up an encounter on a different difficulty, enable the cheats and then continue the story. Always manually save your game before loading an encounter, just to be safe.

Cleggworth Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 This sounds interesting but a bit of a pain setting it up each time. Can you play the game in reverse to make grounded easier like the first game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
