Save Malik

[Fraggen Wagon]

Girl, I'm doing a passive run here. Managed to get it done with my tranq rifle and an EMP grenade that I thankfully had in my inventory. Took 3 tries.

I had always heard that this was not possible when trying both a Pacifist and a Ghost Run. I even remember considering trying to find a way to mod the timer on the invisibility cloak to make it happen, but I don't think I ever got that to work... This was at the highest difficulty. The "perfect" run.

Did something change in a patch? I remember reading this on review sites back when this came out.

I was actually annoyed with this and kept a separate save game where I intended to go back and do the other path to unlock Pacifist but I never did.

Don't know about ghost run. That'd be insanely difficult to do both. I had to agro the enemies to pull fire from Malik so she could hold out until I downed them all.

I vaguely remember someone reporting that they'd done Pacifist + Ghost on that scene but they had to spend a huge amount of time practicing and I think they even said they'd used some cheats to make the practicing easier but did eventually manage to get it without cheating. But it sounded ridiculously hard. I think you have to focus on taking out the heavies in the back first since I guess they do the most damage.

It was actually pretty easy. Gas the 2 heavies, EMP the bot and takedown the rest. You would need to have your health to 200 and full armor aug.

Apparently it's very easy.

"It will NOT give you Ghost XP" That's why it's very easy. If you want to get the bonus too, that's what's so hard. Maybe that's not what the OP meant by a "Ghost run" but that is what I meant in my post.

If you don't care about the bonus, yeah, it's pretty easy. I usually just use the invisibility cloak to run around and take everyone out but you can't do that and get ghost too.

Doesn't gassing someone negate the ghost bonus? I might be misremembering.

It's possible, even on hardest difficulty.

Gotta binge candy bars and go real hard with knockouts etc.

Be careful reloading in this area though, I noticed that when I reloaded one of the guards would spawn dead.. make a save before the cutscene and reload that if you mess up.
This avoids the spawndeath guard which will very likely ruin your pacifist run.

That's more realistic if they are face first in that electric puddle or within the boom zone of the box-bot when it get fragged. Armor is super buggy in this game.
