[Mr902190]

how do i open up and get 2 hardcore mode on dead space 2, email me with info please, davehenry67@yahoo.com

I know this is a speedrun, but why didn't you try an get the PENG treasure? It would give you lots of credits to buy the stuff you need (or is that a part of your very hardcore mode) lol

@KidWulf

Arranging the puzzle and crawling in the vent (both to and from the treasure) takes too long.

Hey that's some glorious speedrun, Rambo is a squirrel's fart compared to you :)

Btw the un-upgraded detonator can kill the brute with 1 hit. It took just one direct hit at the head, when the mine exploded in the middle it catches both yellow weaknesses within the blast radius. I went like "WTF what happened?" .. then I realized it was a 1-hit-ko. Really happened in my last HC run.

@Wicky4D

Yeah I've had that with brutes, but it's very hard to get consistent results. Works one time, fails the next 10.

U deserve more viewers,great vid man.

Btw the alt fire of the line gun ist 1hit ko against that big thing in the space at the end.

Also against this monsters on the wall with many tentacles.

[MetallicOpeth]

wow, awesome way of handling the brute

0:10 Amusing stuff.

NOTE: Seeker? BeerBaron should be amused.

1:46 Poor bastard. Not sure what I'll do here. Maybe there's a class 2 around. Or class 3's could allow delimb this time. We'll see later.

3:50 Mostly (if not entirely) avoiding battle is my aim here. Hopefully some stasis use could prove useful. Not much of a kinesis option here sadly.

NOTE: Interesting speed strat just prior.

4:50 Sure is SEEKAH in here.

[BigVEE]

6:38 Lovely.

7:10 I might want to try just getting in the room and stasis whoring.

8:00 Nice hustle.

8:16 HA! Though I was expected TK or stasis/stomp for the other.

10:48 "There's always PENG"

"I ain't got time for PENG"

11:17 Lucky devil.

12:15 Good stuff.

13:41 It happens. I'd still like a way to ignore her.

For my hardcore run, I saved on Ch 3 first (since I kept having trouble with the ending tram sequence.) I plan to save at 7 before the elevator. Any recommendations for my final save?

[br0wner]

@Bulzeeb15

Unfortunately I can't, since I've never played Hardcore the normal way (ie. using saves). However, I can recommend practicing chapters on another difficulty before attempting it on hardcore, as this is what I did. So what I recommend is practicing the Chapters ahead of where you saved, and maybe you'll find out you don't need to save before the Chapter 7 elevator, but perhaps later on.

[GhosthawkMusic]

@Bulzeeb15 Was a really bad idea. Your first saye should be somewhere in the chapters 6-8 the second one in chapter 10 or 11 and the third around ch 13 or everywhere before the bossfight.

[Bulzeeb15]

@GhosthawkMusic Yeah I figured as much. I'm just gonna practice practice practice on Zealot before I start over on Hardcore again. It may be my last trophy, but I've never played a game where the last goal was so close yet so far away.
