Challenge:

- Grounded: the highest difficulty
- New Game
- No Upgrade: no supplements/parts upgrades.
- Permadeath (Whole Game): limited checkpoints, tracking survival time, and number of deaths.
- No avoidable damage. There are some exceptions listed below.
- Default accessibility options

This was done in two livestreams completed on January 10th (links below as proof). I merged both streams in this video.

Part 2 - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/868147806

So I made a silly mistake at the end by pressing X at the moment the results screen showed up. I do show the completion stats in the current autosave though.
Overall all my strats went quite as expected in this run except for the trainyard where I messed up and had to deal with a very complicated situation and improvise.

Since there is no statistics menu, I list below the moments that are either exception for no damage or that look like damage but are not:

Exceptions for no damage:

- 17:18 - UNAVOIDABLE - The Overlook: runner grab. You take some unavoidable damage during the quick time event.
- 29:25 - UNAVOIDABLE - Patrol: runner grab. You take some unavoidable damage during the quick time event.
- 02:34:08 - EXCEPTION - Hillcrest: vehicle section. This was considered an exception for this challenge since sometimes it's barely possible to avoid taking hits. In this particular run, I managed to avoid getting hit though.
- 03:07:50 - UNAVOIDABLE - The Seraphites: arrow damage. You get a scripted arrow shot.
- 04:11:04 - UNAVOIDABLE - Infiltration: damage taken from Alice. You take some unavoidable damage during the quick time event.
- 04:30:27 - EXCEPTION - The Stadium: vehicle section. This is an exception for this challenge since it's extremely unlikely you will be able to avoid getting shot especially in new game settings.
- 08:14:28 - EXCEPTION - The Escape: horse ride. This was considered an exception for this challenge since sometimes it's barely possible to avoid taking hits. In this particular run, I managed to avoid getting hit though.
- 08:30:40 - UNAVOIDABLE - The Confrontation: Ellie boss fight. You take some unavoidable damage during the events of this boss fight.

Some points where it may seem like I took damage:

- 02:52:25 - Finding Strings: when the bloater fight takes too long, a runner will suddenly grab you (it's scripted) to force the bloater to hit you and end the fight. This grab and the bloater attack don't deal any damage as you can see me trying to heal after that.
- 08:14:48 - The Escape: horse ride when the WLF tries to attack you on the horse. This doesn't deal any damage at all as you can see me trying to heal after this section ends. In this horse ride, you can take damage from getting shot by some riders.
