SupporterI was looking at this game's trophies (for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place) and I remembered that I made transparent PNGs of the gauntlet medals a while back. So, I figured I'd share them in case anyone wanted to use them for something.
Verified as an Any% run since there were mistakes. Also, next time please include the full results screen in the recording that shows the time.
I don't consider that to be a modifier. Just a personal preference.
First off I want to say that nothing here is set in stone. I've wanted to add new categories and stuff to this game for a while now and I'm happy to finally have the time to do so. If you disagree with anything here, please feel free to let me know. Any suggestions or feedback, positive or negative, I would love to hear it.
My goal is to make sure that everyone can run the game the way they enjoy running it. Whether that be with hints or without, with mistakes, without mistakes, individual difficulties, and whatever else. The rules I've added were designed to support those play styles and there may be additional ones to be added, removed, changed, etc.
If you see something out of place, missing, etc. please let me know. You can message me directly, reply to this thread, or start a new thread.
Thanks, Trey (Gundwn)
Different categories for different playstyles and preferences. If you just want to rush through puzzles then Any% might be your thing. If you're like me and you want to try and solve puzzles then 100% is for you. Both Any% and 100% have w/ Autofill categories for anyone that hates manual note entry and wishes they could just skip to the good part (in my mind this is like the "No Intro" category for the Resident Evil 3 Remake).
Completing the puzzles as quick as possible is all that matters. This means that mistakes are allowed and speed is all that matters.
Accuracy is just as important as speed. Unlike Any%, mistakes are NOT allowed so think twice before guessing.
In addition to the two general categories there's also the w/ Autofill categories for anyone that prefers pre-filled notes. This category allows the Show All Notes setting to be enabled for anyone that likes to have notes pre-filled on new puzzles.
Sick of the same 9x9 grid layout? Enough with all of the neatly arranged rows and columns. Put the sh-, I mean, stuff, wherever. All categories mentioned above can also be done for the Irregular mode.
Full video proof of the run is required.
Starting a puzzle can only be done one of two ways:
1. After Completing a Puzzle
- Selecting "Play Again" on the results screen
2. Abandoning a Puzzle
- Selecting "Yes" on the abandon puzzle prompt
For "Individual Level" runs either of the above are allowed to show that the puzzle completed was not previously shown/started.
For "Full Game" runs the first difficulty can be started using either of the above. Subsequent difficulties must be abandoned after selecting them from the main menu. This ensures a new puzzle is started for each and every difficulty in the run.
It's recommended to have a subscription to Microsoft Sudoku to not have any ads in-game. For mobile platforms this is included with Game Pass Ultimate or can be purchased through the Play Store or App Store. For PC this is included in both Game Pass Ultimate as well as PC Game Pass and can also be purchased separately through the Windows App Store with a Microsoft account.
Timing Method: Real Time
1. All difficulties must be completed (in any order, though ascending or descending is preferred) 2. Each difficulty must start a new puzzle
- You must abandon each puzzle after selecting the difficulty to ensure a new puzzle is shown
3. Time starts when the first puzzle is started 4. Time ends when the last puzzle is completed 5. (Optional) Show game settings after the run is completed
- Makes verification easier and only takes a second to open the menu and scroll through them all
Timing Method: In-Game Time
1. Must include one of the two methods of starting a new puzzle
- New puzzle is started by selecting either "Play Again" after completing a puzzle or by selecting "Yes" to abandon the current puzzle
2. Summary screen must be shown
The following items must be shown (scroll through them if they're not all displayed):
- Difficulty
- Time
- Mistakes
- Hints Used
3. (Optional) Show game settings after the run is completed
- After the summary screen select either "Done" to return to the main menu or "Play Again" to load start another puzzle and open the game settings using the menu button.

Yes, if I recall correctly you have to be at 30 fps (or at least it's significantly more likely/easier at 30fps) and be shooting him the entire time i.e. whenever possible. The time when you'd stop shooting him before the plaga animation plays and after the first cycle when the main plaga is going away, when he's stunned from a barrel explosion, and all of the other times you'd normally stop shooting to let your gun cool down matter for the two cycle. Be already aiming at the main plaga when he goes down so you're not wasting any time aiming and you can shoot it the entire time he's down. You can time your gun overheating to be when the little cutscene is playing and a bunch of little things to min/max that by themselves don't make it a two cycle, but if you do enough things as optimized as possible that's the difference between the standard three cycle and the two cycle.
Also, co-op might be different than solo because one person can change their FPS before the fight (can't remember if it's host or client) but it's been a while since I've looked into it. I think it's still possible to do it solo, but it's definitely possible co-op. Unlike the instant bus explosion which just seems to be a fairly low chance and completely random, the two-cycle Ndesu fight is just getting good plaga spawn positions during the first cycle, hoping for the best attack patterns, and then not making any mistakes.
the past few years i spent looking for "European Quality Trailers, Shipped Australia Wide" without success. in fact, i'd given up any hope of ever finding them. thanks to this video and the in-game advertisements, i was lucky enough to learn about A2B Trailers Central Coast.
I only share the non-fails (more realistically "less bad fails") since it's significantly easier to do so. The fails are whatever I'm streaming on Twitch.
Congrats!
Nice :)
If there's a green herb on the balcony, then there will be an SMG for Jill to grab. If the green herb isn't there, you have to quit out and restart from the menu since it doesn't re-roll when you simply restart. Basically if you have a Green Herb on the balcony you'll have the SMG. It'll always be there and you can restart as many times as you want. On the flip side if it's not there, it will never be and you need to quit out and start a new game.
- Start game
- Look on balcony for Green Herb
- If no Green Herb, quit out to menu and start a new game
- If you have a Green Herb, shoot jars until you get a frag and restart from checkpoint until one drops
It's worth noting that it does have to be a frag grenade. You can't do it with a flash or incendiary unless you just want to practice the throw or something.
No green herb (no SMG):
Green herb (SMG):
For the frag grenades, there's ~0.1 to 1% chance I would say. That might change based on the difficulty but for Amateur it's fairly low. That could mean that you get it first try, and it could mean that you'll go 30+ minutes just restarting over and over and never get one. It's possible to get two frag grenades but very rare. In order to make it more fun I look for other rare drops to pass the time. Flash and incendiary grenades are slightly more common than frags. Red herbs and magnum ammo are pretty rare though. I can't remember if I've gotten a red and green herb in the 3 pots that I break but I have hope that one day I'll see it...
