Minimalist challenge

[Ghost]

On the pause menu, checking it, it says: "progress: 1"

Does this mean i still haven't failed?

Also, Flash grenades counts against it?

[Akutare]

I believe the challenges for stuff like that need to always be at 0 for it to trigger the achievement at the end.

Also yes, using anything except a knife or handgun will count against you, including flash grenades.

[Æɴɪsᴏ]

Granades, Eggs.

Barrels and Turrets are fine. I've heard Cannons are also fine but I didn't risk it outside of the Armoured El Gigante, so don't know if killing Zealots count.

sure but i'd like to understand the meaning of the "1" at the progress.

As far as I know anything over 0 means you lost it.

This. You ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up somewhere.

If you threw a nade or even an egg. Run is voided.

[James]

1 should be the number of non-pistol/knife attacks (maybe kills? you performed).

When I wasn't doing a minimalist run the number there was big

[Pixl]

Does melee kills void the run as well?

No.

Ill make it clear:

The count has to stay at 0 at all times, so if it ever increases, reload the save back to before it did.

Only weapons allowed to use are Handguns and Knives (doesnt matter which ones or how many)

Doing Melee attacks wont affect the run, so kick everyone in the face.

Eggs, Grenades and Flashbangs will null the run, so dont use them.

Using any other weapon will null the run even if you dont hit anything.

You can still equip any weapon, the main use of this is to use the Bioscope to find out which Regenerador has the Wrench, plus it helps to find out where their weakpoints are, (once again, dont fire it)

Magnums will null the run, even if they look like Handguns.

You are allowed to use environmental methods of dmg, such has explosive barrels, Turrets, Cannons, dropping the Chandelier, Lava Pit (double Gigante), etc, youre also allowed to use the Special Rocket Launcher with Saddler, and you have to, cause otherwise you die.

Doing the Shooting Range wont count, so youre free to do that if you'll like, any weapons used there wont null the run.

did you throw the egg at the painting for that one merchant quest? because that will count against it as well

0 - completed / 1 - lost

[ryu600RR]
