- Back grabs don't deal damage in this game. I use them to my advantage to kill or knock down enemies without making noise. At the end, after defeating Saddler, I try to heal with FAS as proof of no damage in the run.
- Mendez' pull grab (0:31:03) doesn't deal damage - it only exists to put you at the intended combat range. Proof: 0:33:15 (trying to heal but not allowed since at full health). I could have used the ladder exploit if I wanted to avoid this grab, but this is the proper way to fight him in my opinion.
- I just use the Silver Ghost for most of the run until chapter 4-2, and then the Red9 becomes the main damage weapon.
- I apologize for the weird audio issue in the knights room... I didn't notice that until I checked the recording after completion - it did not sound like that on my end. Must've been some OBS audio setting, will fix it for the next time I record something for RE4.
KEY ENCOUNTERS FOR "MINIMALIST":
- Village siege (0:01:38)
- Cabin (0:23:15)
- Bitores Mendez (0:29:47)
- Water hall (0:44:24)
- Garrador cage (1:06:22)
- Knights room (1:17:17)
- Double Garradors (1:34:36)
- Lift (2:13:25)
- Wrecking ball (2:38:34) - this is by far the cheapest room for this kind of run. I used the infamous Ashley exploit here.
- Key card room (3:16:11)
- Saddler (3:28:24) - same strategy as typical but defeating him without the Rocket Launcher
