Mein Leben - Main Campaign Walkthrough (No glitches, no tricks)

This is my main campaign run with time index in the video description. It is 100% repeatable and is without glitches. I also did not use the grenade trick in the final battle since, in my opinion, requires too precise timing and luck to be reliable after a 3-4 hours run.

Some general tips:

1) PRACTICE
It cannot be stressed enough how only practice can help you getting through. Find the strategies, for each section, that you feel more comfortable with, and then practice on IADI difficulty. For a more efficient practice, make strategic saves in key points of the game so you can play every section over and over.

2) PRACTICE SOME MORE
When you feel confident about your abilities, practice some more! A good readiness index for your Mein Leben run should be being able to go through a chapter 5-10 consecutive times (of course without dying).

2.1) HAVE A PLAN B READY FOR EVERY SECTION
Even when practicing to perfection, something in a 3-4 hour run can go wrong. Plan accordingly and be ready for an exit strategy on each section, to greatly increase your chances.

3) PICK AND UPGRADE BOTH THE BATTLE WALKER AND THE RAM SHACKLES
At some point during the game you will be asked to choose between three contraptions offering several bonuses. Be sure to pick the Battle Walker as your first choice and immediately upgrade it. Then, after the Venus mission, and the birthday party, use 4 Enigma codes to go to the Bienville Street district and retrieve the Ram Shackles, also upgrading them immediately. You don't need to finish the Ubercommander mission, just pick the Ram Shackles and select exit mission. . The upgraded Ram Shackles are invaluable during the final mission.

4) LEARN, MASTER AND ULTIMATELY ABUSE THE LEAN MECHANIC
It cannot be stressed enough how important it is to master this mechanic, since the AI will have a hard time coping with it most of the times. On Mein Leben, you want to use every trick in the book. In firefights, always duck behind cover and shoot while leaning. I bound my leaning action to one of my side mouse buttons (Logitech G203) for more comfort.

5) PRIORITIZE YOUR PISTOL AND ASSAULT RIFLE UPGRADES
'Nuff said. First upgrade in any run should be the pistol Silencer. I usually follow with Magnum rounds since on Mein Leben breaking stealth in some sections will be unforgiving and end your run, so you always want to be able to kill your target as fast as possible. After these two upgrades, get the Armor Piercing rounds and Marksman scope for the Assault Rifle, the most OP weapon in the game.
Also, be sure to get the Supercharge upgrade for the Laserkraftwerk before or during the Area 52 - Oberkommando mission or you will regret it.

Mein Leben - The Adventures of Gunslinger Joe DLC

Gunslinger Joe is a HARD DLC. In order to get the achievement, as with the others, you only need to complete the 3rd chapter on Mein Leben though. There are a few "safe" skips shown in the video. As for the rest, you can exploit the enemy AI in most of the major encounters. The real problem is the final battle with the Zitadelle, where you need to use the "safe spot" away from the flamethrower and be very aware of the enemies showing up to your right.

Mein Leben - The Diaries of Agent Silent Death DLC

If you know exactly what to do and memorize the path, as shown in the video, you can get away with this achievement in around 6 minutes. The only real thing to be aware is the final section, where the enemy AI can "scramble" to alert status unexpectedly.

Mein Leben - The Deeds of Captain Wilkins DLC

To me, this was by far the most disappointing DLC and downright boring in some parts. It is also the easiest of the DLCs to Mein Leben, since you can essentially cheese and abuse the enemy AI in every encounter, including the final showdown in the mess hall. The toughest section will be the ambush in the submarine bay.
