Was it rough for you without the sub during the g2/g3 fights?
Also when did you save?
Most of the runs I see that skip the sub hit 1:38-48 minutes total. So I should be good on getting it with atleast a 20 min buffer. Gonna have to make a checklist and plan that whole garage/rpd 2 thing out.
G2 wasn't bad, I know the hitboxes for attacks/animations and used that to avoid taking damage. I wish I could just put my grenades into him so I could have the crane knock him over in one swing but the key is to take the path of least resistance and use as little ammo/resources as possible.
I had only a few (8 or so) flame rounds and quite a bit of acid rounds (over 20) for G3. Idk to be honest, but I THINK that its best to hit G3 with grenade rounds in a defensive manner to knock him back when he's charging/walking towards you so you can run past him or away from him and position yourself to land handgun rounds/high powered rounds on his eyes. The big thing with resident evil is to manipulate the enemies into doing animations that lock them into following a path that you can avoid, (like making a zombie charge after you so you can run by them since the animation is a line attack).
An example of making a zombie charge after you to avoid him:
G4 was the most annoying because you can actually be shooting him to the point of running out of time so its best to really be as precise as possible.
My three saves are:
- In the secret room before the G1 fight (In hindsight I would prefer to save after but its safer considering that you'd have to go back over 20-40 minutes if you die and even if you beat him you can go back if you used too many resources fighting him)
- Before the G2 fight (or when you first get to the circuit room with the plugs)
- When I first got into the NEST/North Wing
The biggest thing is to do the bold because if you know they enemy spawns, item locations and path you need to go you can get it done. The only problem is the execution because to be honest, I usually don't take health items with me to save inventory space so I can pick up as much as possible but it is risky if you're far in between saves.
The hardest segments for me is the sewer section to get the king and queen plugs* and the NEST greenhouse after you get the keycard (especially with Leon since X is still around)
*There is a strategy you can take where you'll just need 2 handgun rounds and 2-3 sparkshot needles to get past those G Adults. If there are any other segments you need assistance on lemme know.
