The higher you crank the difficulty in Fallout
4, the more Legendary enemies you'll find. But if you max out your odds by playing on Survival beyond level 50, you’ve got less
than a 30% chance of an enemy being Legendary, which is just pathetic. I like my games to be hard. Can You Beat Fallout 4 If All Enemies Are
Legendary? I used the Legendary Enemies Only mod to make
this playthrough happen. After installing the mod, all enemies across
all difficulties are converted into Legendary enemies, but there’s a problem. Some enemies have no legendary variants (I’m
already tired of saying Legendary). Like Turrets, you’ll never find a Legendary
Turret out in the wasteland because Todd said so. But I think both of us know the point isn’t
whether it can or cannot be done. It’s about the journey, not the destination. With that in mind, I almost made the woman
of my dreams, her teeth are a little too white for my taste, gave her a good name, and picked
my Specialties. I’m going with the Idiot Savant experience
tree this time, no building statues in place for infinite levels or making uncle sam salivate
by pulling oil out of thin air. Before leaving for good I left the refrigerator
door open, my husband and I ran for the vault, he had an accident, and I emerged from my
pod ready to get f*cked by the legendary roaches waiting for me. Or so you thought. Legendary enemies don’t start spawning until
level 8. Using a console command, I set myself up to
Level 8 to begin the actual challenge as quickly as possible. Enemies scale with you in Fallout 4, I have
no extra equipment, I’m worse off now than I would’ve been at level 1. After a couple snafus involving Preston, his
attackers, a bit of back end work, and some patience, the Legendary foes began to take
the field and it started off with nice and slow with the elderly. They have a few fun effects applied to them. All legendary enemies have a chance to mutate
and regain their health. In fact, being underpowered will make it more
likely for them to mutate. You want to be a walking tank if at all possible. If an enemy takes significant damage and doesn’t
die, it’ll mutate to activate a dormant ability. However, a named NPC that becomes an enemy
will not become Legendary nor will it mutate unless you count dying to be a mutation. Another fun affectation of Legendary enemies
is legendary loot: weapons and armor that can do all sorts of sh*t from dealing radiation
damage to giving your gun a bottomless clip to making each bullet do explosive damage,
it applies to armors as well. These can increase movement speed or give
your liver an adamantium coating to take less damage when drinking chemicals or even make
you lucky. One of the first ones I Raiders I killed had
an Explosive 10mm Pistol for me. That came in handy in the market when I got
swarmed by ghouls. I of course had been training for this since
late 2012. Classic Zombies tactics: form a train, blow
it up, make a crawler, then the next round begins when you’re in the bathroom and you
get stuck fighting for your life. Luckily for me you can make a vertical crawler
by disconnecting their arms. Despite the abundance of enchanted items spewing
from everyone I kill, I still found myself getting my ass kicked in every fight I picked. That extended outside to fights others picked
for me. Here, I used a few of those perk points I’d
given myself earlier to give myself the edge. What I got was a butter knife. I had nothing to make it through a Legendary
Raider’s Power Armor. I let him drop a fat man on the ghouls, I
searched the bodies while he reloaded, and passed through the colon of Fallout 4: Corvega
Assembly Plant. Inside were a bunch of scary looking guys
who through a non-Legendary at me to disorient me and throw me off my game and kill me. I knew better the next time, I activated my
aim bot and hit ‘em where they sleep. On my way to Diamond City to search for the
real game, I found Rufus and his friends, didn’t find any fun guns from them, but
what my ears found were calls for help from a police station. That’s Paladin Danse and his squad being
assaulted by a hoard of Legendary Ghouls. Danse himself is immortal and I had the foresight
to stand on a car and aim the kneecaps. That tactic came back and bit me in the ass
after the dust settled. None of the ghouls we slew together had guns. It wasn’t a total waste, I looked marvelous
with my sweaty face glistening in the moonlight. The lightbulb did a dance in the office for
me, I stole the station’s medical supplies because my future wounds are more important
than Rhys’s current wounds, and set off for Arcjet with Danse. One of 1st world struggles of this run is
deciding which gun and armor pieces to use. Legendary effects are so cool until everything
has a gimmick then they lose all meaning and you’re pretty much back to using whatever
guns are effective. The explosive double shotington devastates
anything it touches including both me and Dogmeat after a misclick near the terminal. The terminal let me reroute power and activate
the rocket test with Dogmeat in the firing chamber. I felt pretty good about that plan until Dogmeat
ran towards me as the countdown started. He was smarter than we gave him credit for,
he knew to do the shimmy with his paws to keep the heat from burning his little beans. Having successfully rescued the deep range
distress beacon, Danse invited Mother Mary into the Brotherhood, and I took on the Raiders
in a boat with a crank gun just as Great Grandpa Mitten did shortly before he got took by the
dementia. At Diamond City, I saw that Security Guards
are another group who can’t be Legendary. With them and the turrets being the town’s
only defenses, I lured the Legendary Glowing Mutant Hound to the guards and let them battle
it out. I didn’t do much in the great green jewel. A few stimpaks and ammo and I spoke to Ellie
to get a waypoint to Nick Valentine down in Park Street Station. That’s where I was headed next and I did
get there, but on the way there I found something awful. I never figured out what caused it, but Super
Mutants are invisible now and you haven’t lived until you’ve heard then seen a glowing
beeping Mini Nuke floating through the air and a pair of boots running towards you. The Mutant hounds are equally as terrifying,
near point blank explosive shotgun shells to the forehead are like flies to a wall. Don’t be mistooken, on the Normal difficulty
the common enemies are still a threat and with no points in Intelligence, my body can’t
fully utilize all the medicine contained in a Stimpak. At Park Street Station I picked a fight with
the monster guarding the subway and faced the Triggermen down in the station. These guys are Legendary like the rest but
because they’re tunnel worms, they don’t wear anything but suits and hats, so they
lack any damage resistance. The dog ran down and caused a disturbance
while I picked them off from the stairwell way in the back. I wasn’t playing smart as a tactic, I was
doing it out of desperation, I’d already ran low of medical supplies, though I did
find corn in one of the Triggermen. [farm rug joke]. To get to Nick Valentine, one must kill Dino
and for the first time in human history I didn’t kill him with a sneak attack. With Nick safely under my spell, he covered
my back while I searched the bodies for toys and in a corpse I found a top tier weapon
in the wounding 10mm pistol. Bullet sponge enemies love their hit points
and a gun that deals damage over time works wonders against them. Now that Skinny Malone’s jaywalking days
are over, I spoke to Nick in Diamond City about my missing offspring. He’s baby sized, made noise, occasionally
smelled of sh*t, hard to miss. McDonough’d seen the kid before, had an
affinity for breakfast cereal if I remember it right. Inside the house I found more clues to the
whereabouts of my boy. Dogmeat’s supposed to track down the scent,
but I’ve known all along where Kellogg was hiding: west-ish. Just before entering Fort Hagen, I sorted
through my inventory and got it down to the bare essentials, from 285 pounds down to a
reasonable 280. I’d need to be as lean and as mean as possible
to beat the army of Legendary Synths waiting for me inside. They pair well with any explosive weapon,
their limbs can be blown off like a ghouls. At a certain point they lose all hope and
just sit there waiting to be bashed in the nose. I tried to give Kellogg the benefit of the
doubt, he couldn’t come up with anything funny enough to make me swoon, so I hit him
were it hurts: in the knees. I’ve never been in a real fight in my life
unless you count getting punched in theology class a fight, but going straight for the
knees would be my strategy. Somehow in the night I picked up a bit of
a tan, Nicholas informed me of good neighborhood to continue my search. Goodneighbor and its surrounding area of the
commonwealth is this game’s equivilant of Fallout 3’s metro tunnels. Spend 20 minutes meandering around with the
moles only to find out you should’ve made a left instead of a right. Kellogg’s memory’s predictably caught
me at the worst moment right as I was about to sneeze. Dogmeat and friend welcomed me back from my
trip, I got an extra helping of experience pie for surviving it, and against the wishes
of everyone else in the room who can talk, I set off for Virgil in the Glowing Sea. I should’ve known when I struggled against
the active camo wearing super mutants that I’d be in for a world of hurt. They’re so unsettling to watch. As for the Glowing Sea, the already tough
as nails blood bugs and whatnot coupled with my unwillingness to prepare by buying medical
supplies or ammo made it the unfriendliest place on Earth. The Deathclaws are weak minded, you can kill
them by jumping backwards constantly to evade their attacks while tearing at the flesh on
their legs with explosive buckshot. Bloodbugs have no weaknesses. They’re the perfect being, the final form
we should all aspire to be. Unlike Virgil, he’s nothing. This is how I know my mod idea is possible. Invisible NPCs and the HUD opacity must be
all the way down. To advance the story I returned to the boston
area to find a Courser. You’ll find it in Greentech Genetics, the
building next to the park where the missionaries are having a concert. Legendary Gunners are littering the levels
leading up to the Courser. This Gunner in particular didn’t give a
sh*t about me trying to use VATS. I couldn’t say the same for the Courser. I met him with a fully cranked laser rifle,
VATS’d him with a critical shot, I wasn’t taking chances, ripped the chip from his dome
and got it decoded by the Railroad. After returning to Virgil and getting his
Teleporter plans, I had to decide to who side with. Seeing as I already started with the Brotherhood,
I choo-choo-chose them to be my new BFFs. Standard regulation meet and greet aboard
the blimp. Have you noticed the guns on people’s hips? Looks so great doesn’t it? That’s modding at work. Bethesda might not have done that themselves
but at least they never spat in their hand and slapped their fans in the face with it
by trying to say it was a UI limitation. Maxson’s order for me is to secure Fort
Strong from the friends of Strong. Rather than sticking around the destroyed
buildings for close quarters combat, I lured the mutants down the bridge towards the weigh
station. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel but
the fish have guns too since I have no cover. The Behemoth couldn’t wrap his head around
this triangle shaped railing, I gave the dolphins a fishing rod and caps, and cleared out the
main floor. This is a different kind of combat than I
grew up with. Back in my day a missile launcher into a group
of muties with their pets would kill them all. Now it’s a Fat Man and a cryo mine just
to start. The times went and changed when I looked away. It’s like one second I’m in my kitchen
making hamburger helper, then I blinked and 5,000,000 people are dead. And that’s not even including all the people
I wished to die. Danse congradulatoried me on my slaughter,
Maxson gave me grenades as the sky was washed with Christmas colors, and I started getting
really long loading screens. They might’ve been 3 minutes long but when
I was sitting there watching them doing nothing it felt closer to 4 minutes. Ingram used what little brain function she
had left after the accident to decode Virgil’s plans, allowing me to zap myself into the
Institute and meet whoever this is supposed to be. He claims to be my son but no son of mine
would be caught alive having eyes that close together. And they’re so recessed into his head, it’s
disgusting. In spite of that disappointment, I met my
sons friends and took one of them for myself. Doctor Li’s wanted by the Brotherhood of
Steel, I wasn’t wearing my sunglasses so my usual tricks wouldn’t work on her, I
won her over in the end with logic, reason, and the threat of death and under her tutelage
I did a few repairs for their secret weapon code-named Liberty Prime. His knees need the most work along with his
weapons and personality. New knees are in an old abandoned hospital
being used by Mutants as a play place. This kid Austin [redacted] in elementary school
punched me in the head in a McDonald’s play place. Austin if you’re watching this your moms
a whore. All Liberty Prime’s lacking now is a good
baseball coach and a few nuclear baseballs. They’re in the basement of the Stanley R
Mickelsen Safeguard Complex or Sentinel Site for short. A pack of feral ghouls are waiting down there
to swarm the unsuspecting player who doesn’t have a sacrificial distraction animal. This plasma infused pipe rifle with help from
gun damage increasing perks made quick work of the ghouls down below. One of the Children of Atom died with a Nuka
grenade in his hand, naturally I used it against his friends to secure the nuclear bombs for
the Brotherhood and traveled out to the forgotten land of low resolution textures to execute
Paladin Danse for being an Institute Simpathizer. Moral has never been higher among the troops,
we’ve learned your best friend or closest confidant could be listening in on your conversations,
eavesdropping for the enemy. Before Liberty Prime can glass the planet,
the Railroad have to leave (the station. f*ck you). Unfortunately for them I agree with the Elder’s
directive to wipe them out. The Railroad agents have no Legendary versions
of themselves. Personally, I take that as an insult. Gonna show up in my video unprepared? I don’t think so. I’m the only one allowed to do that. I blew this guy’s cranium into next year
and stuck a baby rattle in his throat hole. The upside to no Legendaries is Named NPCs
always put up more of a fight than the others, they have a reputation to uphold. I did as instructed, the train yard has been
graffiti’d, the last component is the Beryllium Agitator in Mass Fusion. As I planned from the very start, I let the
Institute know what the Brotherhood were planning. I broke into Justin’s house and woke him
up to tell him the enemy above ground are making moves against them. He instructed me to break into Allie’s house
to spread the news. She didn’t know how I knew learned about
the fabled 4th phase of Del Boca Vista, there was no time to chat we had to get to get to
Mass Fusion right then and there. What slipped my mind as I was stabbing the
Brotherhood of Steel in the back was the thick steel plated power armor worn by Legendary
Knights. I’m still more or less in the same outfit
I had when I met Danse the first time but my ideas have only gotten worse. Remember those 8 Vertibird signal grenades
he gave me? I used them all in a desperate attempt to
confuse the Brotherhood and make them attack each other. They didn’t show up, I had no choice but
to snag the keycard, run for the elevator, pop a stealth boy and hope for the best. Dogmeat stood steadfast by my side, silently
snarly at the Initiates as they blew the conduit and crashed the elevator. He got scared when it was time to attack. After grabbing the Agitator, 3 impossible
robots have to be killed. 1 Legendary Sentry Bot and 2 Legendary Assaultrons. Have I mentioned I have like 2 Stimpaks. I pulled out my super ultimate last resort
mail mary mega move: jet to slow time, med-x for damage resistance, psycho for good measure,
and my trusty explosive shotgun I died. That’s too many moves to keep track of. I scaled it down to Jet and a gun that causes
wounds. As time slowed I could land dozens of shots,
each of which deal 25 damage over 5 seconds on top of their base damage. For the Assaultron twins, a Fat Man would
suffice. Having brought the Institute the key to infinite
power, the story drags to a halt as you’re back to retrieving a rogue synth with a courser. I didn’t have time for that. I loaded an old save from 15 window in time
between when I had the idea to betray the Brotherhood and when I decided to betray the
Brotherhood. Had to do all of Mass Fusion over again but
I’m not fighting the metal monsters anymore. Ingram’s fat ass knocked the elevator off
its tracks, I fixed it, left her and Dogmeat to deal with the attackers, used the same
tactics as I did last time to retrieve the objective and went to meet Father in the Institute. I got as far as the teleporter pad which had
been sealed off to the entrance. Father felt the power online anonymity flowing
through his vocal cords, Ingram and I powered up Liberty Prime, and she dropped bombs on
all the Legendary synths and whatnot in her way. The special effects applied to them made no
different to Ms Prime. Most of them, my teammates too, used their
primary weapons over the weapon added by their Legendary status. Some take advantage of their better guns,
just not all. That doesn’t impede their ability to take
a walloping. I had the idea in my head that a bottomless
SMG with 1000 rounds would act like a win button against the synths but id didn’t
in the dramatic overkilling fashion I’d hoped. XPS-20 burned the sh*t out of Elder Maxson
but it fell in seconds to the guy who plays games on a real gaming machine like an iMac,
and I rode up to greet Father for the last time. I told him I was annihilation his life’s
work because I can, as an insult I killed him with radiation, put an early end to the
few Coursers and Institute scientists fighting for their cause in the reactor chamber, rigged
the bomb told the kid his mommy doesn’t love him, nuked the synths and didn’t beat
fallout 4 with every enemy being legendary.
