Can You Beat GRIME With A Broken Sword and No Armor?

Honestly, I think you'd be better off using your fists.
Grime's developers, Cloverbite, reached out to me for one last hurrah, giving me a save file that started with the worst weapon in the game. They also gave me the worst armor in the game (or is it the best?), and then dared me to beat the final DLC boss in NG+.
Can you beat Grime with a broken sword and no armor?
I guess only time will tell.

"The Backlogs" are actually going to be a whole new batch of areas, bosses, items and spells that you can only get to after beating the game on "ok, I'll play." Mode once then doing something specific in a portion of the game that forces you into the new areas. BUT the only way completing the new areas will count is if afterwards you finish the main game again and get the "Backlogs" ending.

Lemon you are a literal god tier patience elemental. You are patience itself i might say. Your skill has been honed over the years and it really shows. This whole challenge looked like a cake walk , due to your skills. Thanks for once again a great video. And for all you guys reading this comment: Be good to one another!

@conan2096 4 ай бұрын

its interesting how changing he boss movesets and having all your abilities changes their difficulty. bosses that took me several times to kill went down in one, whereas some of the ones i thought were easier really hammered me. the whispering mothers change makes it so much tougher cause its pure area denial and you HAVE to use absorb in the second phase. jumping is pretty much totally out cause of the rocks filling the air and fidus breaks apart even more...the dreamborn terror is a monster, and fun fact, each cycle you fight him he drops a new armour set, i think he has 7 colours, the red is my fave

@jimijenkins2548 4 ай бұрын

Eleven. Eleven colors.

@Padsoldier 4 ай бұрын

"some of the ones I thought were easier really hammered me" I don't think this is that much of a surprise, if a boss is easy in the base game that means that there is a lot of room to up the difficulty, and they don't have to hold back because only people who've beaten the base game will ever encounter the upgraded version. The Inner bosses in Sekiro are similar (instead of NG+ they're only accessible via the boss gauntlets that are unlocked by finishing the game and beating all required bosses, so at least NG and NG+ required to unlock all 3 of them), the Inner version of the early game boss has a lot of changes that stop you from being able to bully him throughout the entire fight, while the Inner version of the final boss has barely any changes to his moveset (3 new moves IIRC).

Glad to see devs honoring the content creators who showcase their games. If it wasn't for your challenge runs, or those of other challenge runners, there's a fair few games I might never have even heard of, much less given a chance. Honestly while I know the game probably wasn't quite your cup of tea, your video on Remnant 2 is what ultimately gave me the final push to get it, and in a year packed with great games, it was probably my favorite one I played last year and I put more hours into it than I have probably any game in recent memory. I'd love to see you consider giving it a second chance at some point and doing a challenge run in it. I do know there's grenades in the game that you can buy from one of the vendors, though I've never tried to use them myself so no idea if a "Firebombs only" run would be doable.
