Can someone explain how ironman works?

[Andbrew]

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but if I die while doing an chapter, I will have to do it all over again? Or just that specific task? I am confused

There are no more autosaves, only chapter saves at the start.

Ranger mode already disables quicksaves.

So basically, with iron man, you can neither quicksave nor use the autosave. Righty

Damn, I even can't quit mid-chapter, otherwise I will lose all progress

Hence "Fully disables the Save System, progress is only saved between levels"

I believe Iron is only available from Ranger mode, this means Quicksaves are gone, only at chapter start is there a save. Hardmode is hard.

Nah, you can play with ironman mode with any mode, even reader. I do believe this is an oversight, although Hardcore is a to be honest too broken to be played on ironman mode.

Well either way, the explanation says Fully Disables saves, so my assumption that it means anything other than chapter-start checkpoints is valid.

Hardcore mode isn't broken.

Right, died 50 mins in volga, that was my take on ironman for now

Also what i meant by "hardcore is broken" was the fact that 3/4 NPCs carry a weapon, that can 1 shot kill you. That is evadable and easy to overcome if you are cautious, but sometimes saves tend to get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, autosaves especially like to be ♥♥♥♥♥.
Well yada yada, it's hard and it was designed to be that way. My point is that the game is a bit buggy and those bugs are making ironman + hardcore even harder, to a point of being nearly impossible.
