Outlast 2 - Full INSANE MODE Playthrough - SAINT + MESSIAH + ASAHEL Trophies (Patch 1.04)
40This is my full playthrough of Outlast 2 on Insane difficulty, without any additional batteries, finishing under four hours. Which means that in this video, you'll get to see how I unlocked the "Saint", "Messiah", "Asahel" and the "Omnipotent" (platinum) trophies.
This is NOT a speedrun, I want to make that very clear from the start. I'm well aware I could finish the game even quicker, but I played certain parts in a thematic way to keep the spirit of this great horror game alive a bit during my fast playthrough.
Some pointers below to help you beat Outlast 2 on Insane Mode:
* Conserve most of your battery for chapter 5 in the mines. You'll need it. As long as you have at least 50% battery power left when you descend into the mineshaft, you should have nothing to fear.
* Use in-game light sources to navigate most of the environments, to conserve your battery optimally. This is related to the previous pointer.
* Use your microphone to locate enemies in times of uncertainty. This was a lot harder in the pre-patch versions where the difficulty was still significantly higher and your microphone drained your battery too, but in this case: exploit that microphone whenever you want to. It could end up being your saving grace.
* Conserve stamina for the right moments. It seems tempting to rush through every environment non-stop, but Blake will need to catch his breath often. And if you end up exhausted at the start of a chase sequence, chances are huge you will not survive. Conserving stamina is the difference between life or death.
* Know the game inside and out. Practice sections on Nightmare difficulty first. This is pretty self-explanatory: having full knowledge of what comes next and how to deal with the situation at hand is key and helps to anticipate and plan ahead.
* Keep collecting bandages. In some cases a regular NPC (or if you're very lucky like I was, a main antagonist), could hit you and you'll survive but you'll be wounded, meaning you'll be slower and in mortal peril. Make sure you keep collecting bandages in case you end up in a similar situation.
* Stay calm, and keep a level head. Perhaps the biggest tip of them all, and an ostensibly stupid one, but nevertheless one that could save your entire run. Outlast 2 has a fantastic horror atmosphere, with impeccable audio design, meaning you could end up panicking during certain parts or when something doesn't go according to plan. Stay calm, remember where you need to go, and handle accordingly.
Those are the biggest tips I can give you in general. Hope my video can assist you in any way. Good luck on your Insane run!
