Dusk is a game about shooting cultists (and eldritch horrors) in the face. But what if you tried something else instead?
WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR DUSK
RULES FOR THIS RUN:
1. I must get the pacifist trophy on each level. This means I can’t deal any damage to enemies. I am allowed to use guns for other purposes, however. Keep in mind that I also cannot damage enemies with their own attacks, so while I am allowed to use melee weapons to deflect projectiles, if they hit an enemy, I have to restart the level. Enemy infighting is unavoidable and usually not my fault, so it is acceptable; this is why my killcount will not always be zero.
2. No mid-level saves. Savescumming takes all the challenge out of games like this one, so if I die, I go back to the start of the level.
3. No going out-of-bounds, even in intended out-of-bounds areas. I am allowed to use prop stacking and explosive jumping to skip certain barriers, but if I start seeing glitchy transparent walls, I’ve gone too far.
4. I play on Cero Miedo, in Intruder Mode. Cero Miedo is the hardest skill level in Dusk other than Duskmare, in which you die in a single hit. While some levels may be beatable pacifist on Duskmare, many have so many enemies in such cramped areas, that I don’t think it’s possible to avoid taking damage without tool assisted speedrun level skills. Intruder Mode means that I start every level with only sickles, and only 100 health and 25 morale, except for the first level, which starts you with more.
5. This is not a speedrun. I will be going fast on most levels because that’s almost always the optimal way to play, but I will slow down to manipulate enemies or grab pickups. You probably can do this challenge faster than I’m going to do it, but I just want to get it done.
EDIT: I don't know why I start E1M2 with a weird amount of health and morale, but since I don't get hit anyway, it doesn't matter.
