Dead Ops Arcade 3 - Rounds 1-64 & Boss (Solo Playthrough & Commentary) - "Reunited with Fidolina"

hello and welcome to this commentary playthrough where i'll be playing through the dead ops arcade 3 arise of the mama back game mode in zombies to start it you press the map icon in the top left and switch over to private adopts arcade solo so the first adopts arcade game came out in 2010 with the release of quality black ops one a sequel was made five years after that for black ops three and here we are again five years later with that officer k3 well you guys watch the intro cutscene here hmm wow so we'll start off here in round one with the doa text in the sand always a key spawn guaranteed on round one and a solo you'll have to describe actually crab would be talking to you there's quite a few different lines but uh actually we're going to quickly change off these floating numbers get them out of here for some reason your settings reset each time you load up the game and loading up the game is quite frequent when it's crashing every time i go to check the leaderboards so uh basically when you watch the intro cutscene it's by far the longest cutscene for doa 2 probably an extra minute longer than the dma2 cutscene uh the basic story is each dua gamer you're fighting a silverback and the first one is the cosmic silverback then it was the cyber sealed back his brother in the second game and now we have the mother of the silverback clan a mama back and they just won't leave you and your chicken alone always uh have to go retrieve their family pet the chicken called fido or in this game fight elena i guess so first arena in each of these three games is the island arena as you can see this island arena is very visually similar to i would say dead ops arcade ii uh the canoe is in the bottom left in this view just like the ua2 was and it just uh graphically i wouldn't say it's too much of an improvement uh compared to going from d1 to doa2 there's actually a little easter egg we'll see here in the bottom left if you can see if i zoom in all the way text that reads king which is the last name of the lead developer for this game mode david king follow him on twitter g-u-g-g-a so round three we'll have the uh tortuga here in the middle and uh nothing really yeah one whale for tortuga that's right mr krabs and also the first person dropped returning from the second dead ops game a bit loud here in first person for some reason a bit of an audio imbalance but hopefully it's not too annoying so when you're in first person you can actually jump and also slide and it's also worth keeping an eye on the top left part of your screen the player hud where the soldier statue where your lives are just above the three for me uh it'll actually turn red in this game when you're damaged so you'll see when you're damaged in first person also later in the game there are certain enemies that might damage you and not kill you in one hit so when that comes up i'll be sure to mention it now also for this round we have a 10-tier block and lock and movement a bit you'll also notice on this playthrough on this version of island on this game you can actually go quite deep into this bridge unlike the previous two games the previous two games you would usually be limited at this point and not go any further than that so uh round four will trigger an in-game cut scene with the mama back destroying the teleporter i'll let you guys take a look at this so this pretty standard game plan island is not really any reason to be dying i'll pull up the scoreboard real quick show and your score kills deaths and gems on the top and in the bottom it shows you some of the controls how to use uh equipment uh nukes and boosts and for co-op you can donate lives doesn't apply for solo you can pull up the world map by pressing down on the d-pad to cld arena 16 arenas just like the ua 2 64 levels and also flashlight and cameras which aren't exactly applicable at the time uh flashlight you need to find it's not really worth finding in my opinion and uh right now we're entering an area called the wild which is quite new for doa it's sort of an open world uh exploration type level and there's actually some benefits uh we'll be seeing from being here in the wild uh worth and they could change your camera i would recommend playing on camera high typically you can also flip your camera in the wild but i would say on the default view just to not confuse your teammates or if you're watching a tutorial it'll be easier to follow along if you have the same view so over here on the left you will have a hidden room that you could open with a key i would not advise using the key to open this area but it does have the flashlight and the mech vehicle but in my opinion not worth it since keys are pretty valuable on this game so over here we have a key on this platform we can actually uh rate uh lower that platform by standing on the stepping stone and sometimes i have trouble getting out solo because you need to use a speed boost so hopefully i don't have any issues with that right now let's try to line it up all right got it first try luckily on co-op you would just have a teammate stand there and obtain it much easier so over here we're going to come up on some stones that you got to be careful of or excuse me some spikes that could kill you i'm going to zoom in and show you they they raise up you sort of have a bit of a warning you'll see some sparkles on the on the ground as they're about to rise just take your time with it there's no reason to rush i'm gonna push up here and shoot these spawns a bit these spawns will be weaker for solo games if you're playing a four player you'll notice they'll take a few more bullets naturally since you have more players also an arcade machine here there's a few random spawns i'll hit it right here which will take me to a bonus area called silverback slideways just make sure you don't uh go left here because it'll actually take you out of the room which is not exactly ideal if you end up dying here which is quite possible you're not going to lose your lives or your score multiplier so don't sweat that the only thing that would happen is it would count as a death on the in-game scoreboard so right there i got hit as you can see my top left hud soldier is covered mostly in red i'll slowly regen that health over time as another fireball just about now would would uh kill me as such i have spikes and flames and flowers all over the place so right there as you can see i didn't lose a life but a death is registered on the scoreboard if you care about such a thing so a lot of stuff here is just treasure gems that you could collect although there are a couple of free lives i picked one up earlier in the challenge and also some equipment such as a nuke which could be pretty helpful it'll also crouch on this uh challenge right there it's a nice little flinger launching me into the vlogger maybe try to speed run to the top and get a nuke although that's not looking too likely at this point okay this is not going very well but that's fine you'll notice that about uh six seconds it'll kick me out of this room uh which is a bug currently with this challenge all right whatever not much share i could have got maybe a nuke and uh things could have looked a bit better but overall i'm not too disappointed as i didn't lose anything of value there there's only there's only things that you could gain there there's nothing really to lose so and actually picking up that arcade machine will make it a recurring power up later in the game which is very helpful in the early build of the game there was a bug where the arcade machine would glitch your game out fortunately that was fixed so feel free to pick up the item if you see it so right now you could exit the wild via this teleporter i'm gonna chill here for a second like i said there are some advantages to sustain in here and exploring it fully which i'll show uh shortly always gonna be vigilant for key spawns as keys are very helpful at this juncture in the game and again you could take a few hits here in first person and also regenerate health i'm gonna enter this dungeon right here the first dungeon in the game sometimes you'll get a key spawn right here we got a free life and i guess i'll explore it a bit most of these dungeons are pretty similar in layout they're also randomly generated in terms of the uh what rooms you encounter but once you explore one dungeon i would say you more or less explore them all as they they'll share a pretty similar pattern again you can change your camera view and also flip your camera while in the dungeon gonna be here uh waiting here patiently pretty spikes over here we got the nosferatu enemy from dead of the night in black ops 4. i find these enemies to be quite annoying although i don't think they one hit you did they they could damage you though they're gonna push that hope for a nice spawn here nothing really too good except these barrels which i could use basically you want to try concentrating your fire on one spot at a time and uh lessen the spawns by killing the uh the zombie head model associated with those spawns so over here if you look at your mini map in top left you can actually see sort of the octagonal type room that i'm approaching sometimes there's a chance of a margwa in these types of rooms which protects a stone which has a fate so definitely be on the lookout for that if you're playing a game that means you've you've gotten quite lucky and could get an early fate at least in this build of the game i made a video on that as well if you would like to know more about it so there's more area of this dungeon that i didn't explore but for the sake of this video i think i'm just going to progress since i'm here at the exit uh again there's a chance that maybe the mark was on the other side of this dungeon but it's a pretty low chance and i've explored about half of this dungeon so i think it's safe to assume that maybe i'm i'm good to go you could open some of these chests and they have gold and things like that some of the chests do do require keys which i'm not really trying to spend the keys should not be spent on chest chest typically excuse me time stamps are going to be in the video description so if you want to skip around past this wild definitely feel free to do that and go to other arenas or challenge rounds etc so we're gonna make our way over here uh east where we'll have a zombie spawn real quick i'm gonna enter this room over here to the side which will take us to a bonus area called the abandoned temple where you could collect on four speed boosts you do not belong right now i have one nuke so i'm gonna drop a nuke run into this enemy and this one too i'll actually have my nuke replenished when i leave this area so that's very helpful so i'm opening these boxes i'm just double checking the button prompt to make sure that i'm not spending a key uh on these chess items because sometimes it can be a bit deceiving someone call up you would step on the stepping stone and it gives you a text that's text message just says two pass open and basically two doors will appear at the top and uh if you go it's a 50 50 chance sometimes you get something good like a few nukes a few speed boosts a few extra lives or the worst case scenario is you pick the wrong door and it takes a few of your equipment away and also resets your score multiplier to zero or excuse me one to go over here use this uh key that i have one of my keys to open its door this is a possible arcade machine uh power uh spawning location as well also the arcade machine can spawn in immediately as soon as you enter the wild like sort of behind you now there's two paths you can take here one of them here is with the two wardens i'm gonna avoid that area it usually doesn't have anything too good i'm gonna open this one instead some spikes here just be careful spikes will kill you in first person in one hit ooh fireballs up ahead we got the perseus enemy from ancient evil i'm gonna run by him spike so i'm gonna exit first person actually and entered this bonus area called uh dark crypt yeah dark ripped gonna be some spiders down here just be careful take your time this area is mostly just for collecting gold there's nothing usually too good here okay i died by something not quite sure what that must have been some sort of skeleton or maybe even a spider that i didn't see luckily there's a lot of gold here so i could sort of recoup my losses from that death there all right those chests down there require a key so i'm not even gonna bother not worth it the keys i need to save mostly for opening doors at this at this point so this guy will sometimes get glitch at the door and just start hitting you immediately just like get your way out of there if that happens so i try to make my way here i have a bunch of hits on me while i'm starting the first person which has been unfortunate so back here it is usually just like a little crate say you could open and a lot of gliders that like to stand still there's also always a rare chance that some sort of key appears in one of these boxes to my understanding so it's always worth checking i think right there i check over here i believe i did gonna change my camera view because it actually gets reset when you leave bonus areas sometimes this vlogger is a bit glitched out i might end up using a piece of armory just because this guy's closing in on me shoot the zombie spawn real quick gotta take another death here it looks like i could have used a speed boost here i knew i was most likely gonna die at this point i'm gonna save my speed boost just because i'll be able to get my lies back quite easily now check up here i think sometimes there's some sort of item you could find here and maybe not all right so over here we have a room called uh bonus room called kaboom room now the good thing about this uh room is that it becomes a recurring bonus room sort of like the abandoned temple room and the arcade challenge silverback slideways and also a new quality of life feature for that officer k3 is you can't run into armory if you're already maxed out in that department which is very helpful for co-op is usually an issue would be that you would run into a nuke when you already had nine and then your teammate wouldn't get it of course so right here it's not really necessary to go down for solo but i'm going to show you for the sake of co-op because you might want to step on the stepping stone over here which brings down this uh lift that i'm shooting at right now and you could collect the first person it's not really that important just something figured let you guys know about so sometimes this vlogger glitches out and kills you luckily uh the the rng is in my favor i guess as you can see there are five chickens to the left of me guaranteed to always be there so if you're looking for the foul five piece trophy that's the way to get it also the abandoned temple usually has five chickens uh which was the tactic that i showed for my video just because it's usually quicker to do that now i'm going to enter a deadly dungeon the second one in the game and again unfortunately no key spawn here but we'll we'll take a quick look here try to see what's going on maybe we get a lucky margaret spawn i'm sort of looking for octagonal type rooms in that in the mini map not seeing anything so far but i'll have to take a look usually it's less likely that you'll find a mark on solo because there are fewer rooms that spawn in for solo compared to four player and even on four player chances are pretty low i believe it's something around seven percent chance that you encounter margwa in a specific dungeon so right here we got a hexagonal type room but it's not the one we're looking for usually it'll be a circle uh when once you get to the room rather than just this type of uh structure and i have a bunch of fireballs being launched on me very nice the mini map is definitely helpful to use uh this room i don't even want to bother going in because you're gonna have to take a death going through the lava or burn a piece of armory so i'm not gonna really uh waste my time or or arsenal trying to get a few pieces of silver because typically these these chests and some of these sort of cases or crates that you open they usually are pretty cheap in what they give you and even if they do give you a lot of treasure it's very miniscule to your square multiplier so right there already one hit okay i ran into the second fireball so at this point i'm not seeing anything too appealing on the minimap so i'm just going to exit this dungeon real quick you could take your time if you want collect every little piece of treasure opening all the chests but really you're probably going to leave them with a three times multiplier at best so i'm not going to bother wasting any more time there so right here you're very slow in the river but if you ride along the edge like i am right now and then go up this little little lip here you can actually take a little shortcut go through here now i'm gonna see an elephant here and a bunch of dog spawns most likely the elephant i could see a shadow i believe to the top right he's shooting fire at me that's always nice so i'm gonna try running past him and there's gonna be some vehicles that he tries blowing up also you could shoot these vehicles for your gun so definitely avoid doing that so hop in one with x you could drive it then also boost with the uh a button on xbox or equivalent from playstation usually back here you'll find a nuke and some other stuff like that first person drop right there and a nuke right up ahead i'm not going to bother with that instead i'm going to drive straight ahead and open this there's going to be another elephant here so i'm just rushing it opening this with a key getting by there getting the heck out of there and collecting this treasure in this room so right now i'm looking for some key luck all right i'll explain more in a bit why but i'm gonna need some lucky keys here a couple of spikes in this room as well so always always be vigilant for spikes they're not gonna surprise you too much in the sense that they're not going to spawn in certain areas or certain rooms but over here you will see them in this vicinity so up here is a possible key spawn where i'm standing unfortunately nothing there for me this game you grab the three death machines which automatically takes me to purple you can see in your hud there's an ak-47 type weapon slowly depleting it's purple it'll become red and then it'll become the base version of the gun a very similar upgrade system to uh that off circade too if anybody's played that so here you'll have anywhere from one of four wardens in my experience they're a bit tanky but if you take those weapons in the left you should be able to drop them pretty quickly and over here you could sort of get a little glimpse of what's in this room over here so i see a free life and a key so definitely worth it for me to go uh grab that here in a bit but first i'm gonna collect this gold and then drop down this little hole by me which will take me to a third deadly dungeon again no key but we'll continue on so i was under the impression i made when i made my video on a round five or uh excuse me uh deadly dungeon fade obtaining that you couldn't get it on this particular dungeon but i've been hearing reports that you can in fact do so so something to keep in mind if the game continues to be uh like this in the terms that you could get in terms of getting your feet in a deadly dungeon which remains to be seen i guess in the future right now i have a lane turn on me where i pick i must have picked it up this this arena uh this deadly dungeon which just sort of eliminates things a bit makes it easier to see again not necessary but no harm in picking it up if you see it luckily the zombies just said still there and saved my my uh what is this i think i just picked up a key which was blinking away quite fast also something i seem to notice is that the music that plays on this game seems to vary which i'm not exactly the biggest fan of on doa 1 and 2 the music was always very um set right the first arena would be a certain song second arena would be uh this is you know it wouldn't change the game the game which i think is uh a bit unfortunate here i think you can even customize it where you can have your own music player track with the cold war songs that playing game on a rotation also right now i have my graphic content reduced so not a lot of blood on the screen also if you shoot zombies they just sort of disappear and vanish rather than you know like i said leave it behind a bunch of blood it's just the way a preferred way of playing dua throughout the years uh less junk clutter in my screen makes it easier to see in my opinion i'm gonna go up there i see that there's a square structure it's possible there's a mark respond up ahead further but i don't think it's too likely so at this point i'm gonna take a detour over here and i saw the escape ladder uh here in the bottom left so i'm gonna take that here in a moment so again i saw a key down here i'm gonna leave one booster for a bit actually i'm gonna leave it there i'm gonna progress normally through here hopefully i don't get too many fireballs thrown at me okay i already got hit once and again now you could actually go through the lava here and up this ramp gonna save that speed boost for this trick that i'm about to do now there's gonna be possible keys in the top right here uh there's gonna be a word in spawn that's static over here you always gonna see him he sort of gets glitched out you could kill him quite easily also a first person drop at this trick i have some trouble with sometimes you gotta take some spring pads which is a bit of a pain but it looks like a free man and at least one key potentially maybe more sometimes it's not all visible so i collected on that stuff i'm gonna use i could go down there take a death be reset to the back i said i'm gonna boost jump pad boost and that's not what i was planning to do but i exit and actually save myself so right now i have three keys which is actually really beneficial you could go underneath these dragon heads by the way to avoid damage i'm going to use one of the keys to open this door here i'm going to collect on some of these goodies and i'm going to use another key to open this door there's a warden behind this so just be careful i'm gonna i guess i'll just shoot him okay he said and at this point i have one key left which is actually really good because all i need is one key to feed to the altar at the top of this volcano if you don't know what i mean by that i'll explain it here more in a bit but essentially around 20 if you progress naturally and take the teleporter at the beginning of the wild that i was showing off earlier in the video normally you would reach this area this volcano area at after around 20 that's the natural progression and i'm making no leeway with these skeletons right now something has to be done surely i'll just drop a bomb so round 20 is a normal progression for the roof 8 but doing all the stuff that i've done on the wild is a shortcut that you could do to get here earlier and by getting to this room of faith here on round five essentially you're not able actually to go to the wild after round 20 or even after round 36 as is natural apparently you could go through these without dying it might be passion in the future so i would say just wait uh take your time up here we can see one free life on co-op you would have a teammate stand here and the other teammates would go to the top and lift you up to collect those free lives sometimes there's one life sometimes there's two sometimes zero so it just sort of depends on luck but you usually you'll have at least one in my experience i think my electric orbs actually were deflecting some of these fireballs so nevermind spoke too soon so up here we have the uh elite zombie from d machina he's pretty tanky but once you kill him he splits into two different sort of acid type zombies which i believe are also on d machinima over here we have skeletons from initially i guess they were in their eyes and draha but i think these skeletons in particular if i had to guess her from ancient evil the model the model of the skeletons ancient evil again you could go underneath these dragons but your vision is going to be obscured and there will be a warden usually that attacks you as your vision is obscured as you pass by that uh underpass you also got to make sure you don't fold down the volcano right there i got slightly close it wasn't too much of a concern but these nova crawlers will actually uh drop some gas some nova gas in there as could slow you down if you walk over them it has the opposite effect for zombies if zombies run over to nova gas they actually get uh they actually speed up quite a bit i don't know if that's going to be addressed in a future update it might be tuned a bit to be a bit more balanced but as of now they will run at you as psychomaniacal recluse speed so the there are skeletons in the dead ops arcade mode they were actually included in doa 2 before the ryzen draw ha even released of course made for the zombies map but the skeletons were slightly different in doa 2. actually a nuke down there so i'm going to kill that quickly with a nuke and collect on the snook i do know that the boxing gloves will deflect the the fireballs here uh unlike perhaps those electric orbs unless i just use them incorrectly you could kill the warden quickly with the boxing gloves again take your time here you don't want to die by spikes i have a nova crawler spawn up ahead you can make your way down but there's not really anything too useful there so i'm not going to waste my time doing that okay that spawn is dead i collect on this free life max out an arsenal at this at this point before i mention the step is done to collect the free lives right over here you would step on it and it would elevate your teammate then once they're ready to go back down you would let go of it so i'm gonna explain what this blue altar is here in a moment but first i'm gonna step into the fourth and final deadly dungeon and again i'm gonna quickly sort of uh take a look through this dungeon for a potential margaret spawn because this is my final chance to get one since this is the final dungeon up here i'm going to rush the nosferatu spawn because these guys are a big pain i try to eliminate them real quick also i want to make sure that i'm not accidentally using my one key on a box that requires a key that would be quite detrimental at this point in the game so over there i'm not gonna go there it's a square room and a dead end i'm avoiding that area make our way this way again i'm not really seeing anything too promising on the minimap here a temporary again a bunch of boxes here i want to be careful and make sure i'm not opening anything that requires a key luckily everything here is good to get to open i actually just got a a key from one of those so quite helpful as you can tell to sometimes open these and just hope you get some some good luck with key spawns so up there there are some unexplored areas on the mini map you can tell which areas are explored it'll be sort of uh a darker blue if it's an unexplored part of the dungeon but you could also tell if it's a dead end or a room that's not really worth exploring based on the shape of it so i'm just going to skip over on that room and try to make my way to the exit it should be down here if i hook a left these uh floggers will typically trigger once you get close to them so just don't try to beat it just take your time bunch of zombies here i'm probably just gonna use a speed boost i could immediately hit the exit but i kind of want to shoot those uh crates down there maybe something decent is in there i already eliminated when the zombie spawns i might as well finish this one off too i suppose we're good to go exit the dungeon unfortunately no luck with the margarets but not the end of the world so over here i was talking about this blue altar this is sort of a new feature for dua where it says hold to pay tribute and reveal the true fates based on that sentence you could probably imagine what that means it will it'll reveal some sort of distinguishable distinguishable pattern for the fates sort of like doa2 the the stones had certain shapes and sizes and markings that differentiated let's say the feet from the firepower if you've watched my dma2 guide on that a couple years ago so this will do a very similar thing except the stones around 20 currently are bugged out they don't spawn in very correctly a long technical explanation for that that i won't bother going into but if you do the shortcut here on round five the pattern will actually be accurate but players at this point haven't figured out every single location for a stone since there are six fates and also only four the stones will appear so they're going to be two random fates in my game right now that aren't even going to be eligible to be picked up so if i want to run a game with the furious feat or the firepower in this game there's a small chance that those two fates are emitted from this omitted from this uh room of fate i believe that's gonna change in the future to where also all six stones are gonna be present but even then there's an issue here where uh let's say the furious fee has a certain shape in the bottom left corner it could actually be rotated as well so it's sort of a lot of different shapes and rotations to keep in mind so that's going to be once pretty tricky whenever it is discovered all the stones uh to sort of make that in a digestible form so anyways i'm going to press x to pay tribute on solo and two player games you only got to feed one key into this blue alter if you're playing a three player or four player you're gonna have to feed a two keys if you only feed it one key in a three player or four player it'll reveal the stone uh the stone characteristics for just one of the fates so one of the random four fates will have markings while the other ones do not but if since you know if you're playing a four player game it fed a two stone or two keys rather all the stones would be have defining characteristics so the unfortunate thing is if i get a bad fate here i'm probably going to restart i could get to round 64 with a less than optimal fate which is the purpose of this video but really i want to get a a pretty good fate something like a furious feat for the sake of uh demonstrating how to play the game but probably the best fate which is uh defeat again you could rotate your camera here to view it easier when the volcano is blocking you but the thing is it also will mess up the rim of fade if you forget to rotate back so i'm just going to make sure i'm playing on the default view it'll be like uh if you're playing co-op and you have a different view than your teammate the stone and the top-left would technically be the stone in the top right for him or something like that so here we have the werewolf from dead of the night i used the nuke because it looked like he was about to launch at me and kill me sometimes it's helpful to backtrack he has a healing animation that he's doing right now where he'll spawn a spectral hound and gain some health these spectral hounds will kill you one hit so important to kill them right now he seems kind of glitched out where he's just stuck on the on the side there and constantly constantly doing his healing animation which is fine because he's not attacking me i'll let him keep doing that i'm killing him faster than he's regaining health that should be the end of him once you defeat the werewolf you'll be eligible to open this little purple area magic barrier so again when you're entering the room of fate it's important to make sure that this hole is facing the bottom right rather than the top left just to make sure you're on the default view and not getting confused with you know if whenever there is a room of fake guy being released also worth noting you shouldn't jump down there that's sort of a beginner strap i'm just going to quickly pull up some photos of a couple of the stones that i know at this point just to increase my odds of getting defeat if it is in the room yeah i should be good it's sort of a crap shoot at this point hopefully i don't mess it up touch a stone dare you face your destiny so i don't think that's the feat right there i'm not too sure it might be the feet i don't think that's defeat and that's a small gem small thing but to be honest i'm going to pause here and just double check which is not the most optimal thing to do but it is it's smart on solo you could pause i'm just going to take a guess at this point and say that it's here at the bottom left okay so that didn't work out well hopefully you didn't mind the pause here you have been judged your fate has been decided so that was a long way to get to round five here but we got the first challenge around the game called junkyard gladiator school with the gladiators from the map nine and black ops four actually quite enjoyed that map also the crab is still here on solo giving you some tips to go between these two spike areas actually also right here there's an area you could go through so again zombies so keep that in mind in between the two cars these gladiators will have uh sort of throw uh their axe at you and also they could leap at you with a ranged attack which is a bit unique for the ua or at least until you see some of the later enemies which are a bit similar i'm just going to exit first person at this point there's not too many advantages at first person like there were in doa 2 other than the fact that some people might prefer it might find it more fun or also sometimes it's helpful because if you feel if you're about to be trapped you can exit and have brief uh invincibility ring around you sometimes you might have an unfortunate death to these gladiators so it's always important to keep moving keep it on the move for doa3 but otherwise there's not really any excuse to be dying at this level this early level especially since i already have a fate worth knowing that the furious feat makes me move approximately fifty percent faster than default also i get two speed boosts at the start of a round if i have two or fewer at the end of the previous run so right now i have a speed boost i'm not going to be given any extra speed boost because i'm already at eight hmm also a new feature with dra3 is at the end of the round it shows you how many more rounds there are in arena for the first time ever i never thought that was really a necessary addition but i suppose for newer players they might not know exactly how the arena system works of course every for every four rounds you are taken to in the arena also some text boxes appear in this game as you saw my character says sweet dreams with a small uh voice over typeline over it not the biggest fan of that as sometimes those voiceover lines uh catch you off guard and scare you some of them sound quite uh you're playing a co-op game and they sound a bit detrimental like your teammate died or something but really your teammate earned a life or picked up some sort of item and also the text boxes are a bit it could obscure your vision a bit i wish they were maybe a bit semi-transparent or something along those lines or maybe you could even toggle them off in the uh the settings that would be preferable i think so at the end of each arena you'll have the silverback trail up here showing your progression right now we're about to enter another challenge round called barely making it a pun since there are barrels here you'll remember on dead ops arcade one there was a challenge round called fish in a barrel barrels there function a little bit differently where they just sort of fell over from the roof and they were only specific to that arena over here they're carried on zombies shoulders and will become recurring enemies throughout the entire rest of the game the crab once again here hopefully the poor fellow doesn't get blown up the smithereens by these barrels i'm grabbing a present box which usually has a detrimental item in them so hopefully we'll see what happens there might have been spiders that's a pretty common thing that happens yep spiders i'm gonna exit and just run into them so the present box is sort of unique i think for doa and that it's the first item where something bad could happen something intentionally bad could happen from picking it up such as spiders hatching from the present box but sometimes you'll get a free life or a nuke so it's it's a matter of risk versus reward and usually you want to try to get that reward over here you see a little teleporter pad of sorts basically stand over it and it'll upgrade your weapon slowly over time to red power or poor purple power if you stand there long enough the skull system skull upgrade system from the ua2 didn't carry over but that little teleporter pad is the closest thing to a skull upgrade system i would say other than picking up duplicates of the same weapon it even has like the little red skull on the teleporter pad if you closely examine it in first person mode over here i picked up a magnet which was an item in dead officer k2 as well in this game the the whirlwind that surrounds you is a bit more visually intrusive i'll have to drop a nuke right here make sure i don't die at this point i could take a death i have nine lives if you're playing and you're less experienced you might want to sort of prioritize your equipment and lives a bit more a bit more balanced where you know you're about to earn a life you might take a death etc but here it's an early round i feel confident that i can maintain my my armory uh while also using a few pieces also there's only one arrow at the end of each round which is different previous doa games they would sometimes give you several arrows which led people to thinking that there was a way of predicting bonus rooms which frankly i don't think anybody ever came to some sort of conclusion with that a lot of theories but nothing concrete but here they give you one one arrow so uh the idea of predicting bonus room seems a bit thrown out the window at this point over here we have some boxing gloves from dead ops arcade 2 also i guess the asset might be from shadows of evil and also multiplayer for black ops 3 so basically the boxing gloves you could just spin around quite easily and you won't die unless an axe is thrown at you or some of the special enemies later on uh just don't care about your your boxing gloves but right now it's safe to just spin around i'm gonna pick up this present box let's see what we get a chicken egg okay chuck and eggs in this game they were in doa 2 as well but they're pretty weak in this game but luckily it's the end of the round so we'll wait for it to hatch and it won't be harmed since there's no zombie spawns i guess while we wait for it to hatch we'll look around the map a bit some nice lighting in these dark rounds the fourth and final round of each arena is dark and there is some interesting lighting i think in this game the game does look uh visually pretty i would say as the rounds progress so the chicken uh sort of hatched one singular gem and the previous the doa one for instance this would bump your score multiplier up quite a bit but if you look at mine right now i have about a four and a half it's a little gold bar to write my score four and a half i grab it and it's mostly just the same so the gems are very minuscule on that off circade iii so now we're on this new arena it looks a bit like the starting room indict rise from black ops 2 if any of you play that where the area i'm shooting is like the elevator shaft you open this door over here but it might just be a bit coincidental so currently in the current build of the game there's no item spawns that appear on this map other than oh this guy launched for me quite a bit there's no item spawns other than weapons than treasure i'm sure that'll be addressed in a future update but this arena and the following one are uh a bit bogged out like bugged out i guess for non-weapon items do not spawn currently but again i'm sure that'll be changed some point soon over here there's a drop off ledge you could jump down also you'll notice that the padding of the zombies is a bit odd in this game especially on co-op but even on solo there's a thing in this game called anticipation logic i think i spoke about it earlier in the wild it's more prevalent in the wild intentionally but it still uh exists uh on these regular realms where the zombies will sort of anticipate your movement at times a lot of people always ask me for tips and tricks on deadlocks arcade especially more recently with the ebay 3 coming out but it's always been something they've asked me about throughout the years it's always difficult to offer one concrete tip it's a very improv improv can't say that word gotta improvise in this game quite a bit i'm not gonna attempt for a third time in fail so i'll just leave it at that gonna you gotta improvise quite a bit in this game and always make moves on the fly right it's not exactly like regular zombies map or there might be a set strategy that works and very few variations come up this i would say is a lot more freestyly where zombie spawns are always different when a gladiator might come out of the door is always different what items you're given are different right so the amount of electric poles where they're placed on the map how many are placed on the map but there's always a lot of more variables i feel like with dua and it's difficult to say you know run like this or run like that or avoid pulling that move because people uh just you know they don't have time to react very quickly if you're not experiencing you know something that you can't learn over overnight you need to really practice and absorb other people's gameplay so if you're watching this video you know that's you're you're taking one step by guess where it's getting better same way i got better i started playing the game many years ago for dead ops arcade one i wasn't very good at the game i probably died around 13 my first my first time playing it with some friends but you know slowly you get better you watch gameplay on youtube and it was even harder back then you know fewer people uploaded people who did upload they had very poor potato quality nowadays you have people streaming on twitch almost at every point in addition to a whole slew of gameplay vod uh video on demand on youtube so definitely use that to your advantage see how people are playing certain arenas the movements they make they react to certain situations it's much easier to observe it than for me to say okay now i'm gonna loop around the zombies here get cut off by gladiator the looper i'm gonna get stuck doing this move yeah so that's a pretty tough arena so if you're sort of a newcomer and you you lose a couple lives here don't be too surprised you just got to get the feel for it mostly so now we got a challenge round they come from below this is basically uh a rehash of the arena from dead ops arcade 2 graveyard arena the challenge round was called dirt nap in that game if you recall so here they'll spawn really slow in the beginning they also have a ground spawn in the middle of the map a little circular area in the middle they'll be very slow for this these first couple waves and then the they'll speed up towards the end as you'll see eventually but the strategy here is pretty simple for these slow waves you just sort of uh you could mostly just shoot your way through like right now oh no i'm surprised surrounded well you could just shoot them here and get through and as i said that i almost got annihilated by a crawler so this next wave that spawns from the ground the third wave is going to be a bit faster not too fast so i got the furious feet i could outrun them quite easily again be careful this middle spawn they're spawning from the middle this anticipation logic is surely going to be the death of me at some point you see like i juked this way and they they follow me like that you know so i'll stand on this upgrade teleporter a bit that might be helpful i should probably get a speed increase from being in red red gun just like the ua2 but i don't know for sure if there's a thing in this game in case you don't know and that option k2 if you had a red red weapon it would be five percent faster purple weapon ten percent faster so i imagine that feature was carried over here but i'd have to take a closer look at it all right now we're gonna have the final spawn as you can see they're cracked out of their mind very fast zombies but unfortunately group them up quite easily i dropped this explosive making too many crawlers not killing them quick enough for my liking collect this gold and make our way hopefully we'll get a bonus room here to uh just replenish our armory bit so right here we got a bonus room poppy's pirate plunder a bunch of gold and stuff you can collect for an easy life you'll notice there's a timer at the top 50 seconds it'll kick you out of the bonus room at the end of that duration you won't die but i'll kick you out now you have the option of using a key to unlock this chest it's not really worth in this bonus room so i wouldn't bother doing that you'll also notice a a dog on the on the wall a portrait a pug this is actually the dog the dog of the creator of the game uh his dog forever immortalized than poppy's pirate plunder and i imagine poppy is the name of the dog as well but i can't confirm that right now this gladiator is sort of glitched out where he's just full on sprinting at me rather than trying to lunge at me they're also getting stuck in that top door which sometimes happens you might want to leave them there make it a little easier for yourself for a few seconds but usually they'll um unglitch themselves and come back into the playing area so the strategy on this arena is mostly pretty simple i would say it's a pretty wide open map pretty uh pretty early level at this at this point to where you could apply your way through certain areas the mama back sometimes comes out at the end of the round we'll chase you just go through the door real quick usually if you run around for a bit she'll eventually leave and leave you alone so now we have a bonus from called westin's trading post and the name is crazy deals indeed so you have some max ammos here some other goodies here electric orbs a magnet a present box this present box is pretty helpful if you have a key later on it'll usually give you a couple of free lives so definitely utilize that the announcer just said ride the lightning when i grab the electric orbs which seems like a metallica reference their album ride the lightning from the 80s this game you know very 80s themed cold war uh also before we leave this bonus room worth noting more dogs in the world uh worth knowing that weston is the name of uh the son of a dua player a very legendary doa one player uh called be like fritz who had his own little shout out at the ua too but this time his son who i played with before very good player for his age some people like playing with the floating damage numbers on their game as you can shoot into a spawn and see if there's any floating damage numbers which would indicate they're spawning from there personally i'm not the biggest fan of it i am more of a traditionalist i like to just have the screen as clean as possible so it's a matter of personal preference and what you you enjoy i'm gonna drop a nuke there i have some more armory after that uh bonus room i just hit so might as well use one i have a nice four-time score multiplier there's really no advantage of holding a multiplier when you're at nine lives other than the fact that you want to accumulate a nice nice high score oh that zombie was chilling there wasn't paying close enough attention i think he sort of stood still for a second over here i'm saying sometimes you lose concentration for a moment then you'll die faster than a bullet but it's important to take a death you regain your marbles and collect your gems and go back at it right now the recording of this video it's pretty early into the game's release game's been out for less than a week so i might not be playing the most optimally right the game might also be updated quite a bit afterwards after this video is released so certain things on this game my game right now might seem different than yours if you're let's say uh playing seven months from now and watching this video so we have a challenge around smoke and ruin very similar map layout and enemies as the challenge round called shadow boogie and ops arcade 2. i think both of them also appeared uh on round 17 on both these games these enemies were featured in the black ops 3 campaign i'm going to grab a mech vehicle which was a vehicle in uh that after k2 as well you'll notice that it's a bit faster in this game currently there's a bit of a glitch sometimes where you die when exiting a vehicle which was also an issue doa2 had for a long time but i imagine at some point it should be addressed so whenever i exit this vehicle oh a gold egg spawned which hatches the life i don't really need it so i'm not going to protect it but if you are playing you definitely want to protect it it has pretty low health on this game but whenever i exit this vehicle i'm going to drop down this hole in the middle it looks like a couple of goodies are in there i don't know drop in real quick adjust my camera view i think there was a chicken evidently and also possibly a speed boost i might have picked up so this arena is pretty small but i would say the a lot of doa 1 arenas were very uh square maps i would call them like this uh although a bit bigger than this one but the strategy here i think is pretty simple you just sort of loop them around quite quite easily and utilize the drops that that are given to you oh almost ran into that i had to do some sort of uh slide juke move that could have cost me but uh i think it helped prevent me from getting hit also when the the axe ricochets off the wall it could hit you on the way back got an arcade machine out power up here actually which will sort of have a similar effect as the electric orbs and shock zombies and nearby area new uh item for that ops arcade nice little sound effects as well that i haven't really listened to too closely before i think this power up lasts uh 30 seconds or so so it's very helpful and so far what i've noticed is if you pick up one of these arcade machines on the following round you'll have the silverback slideways challenge which is very helpful because there are two usually two free lives and a couple pieces of armory you could collect on during that challenge and it seems like this item is pretty common so potentially you know a little uh a little overpowered potentially of an item if you think about it but we'll see how that plays through plays out rather take a quick little look down here there we go silverback slide slideways as i anticipated so there are three different versions of this slideways thing two daytime ones and one nighttime one utilize these jump pads to the best of your ability i didn't play very well in my first playthrough earlier this match gonna wait for that fireball to disappear so right now i don't need any free live so i'm not gonna really go look for them i guess it would be helpful to show them if i can find them although i am on the lookout for a nuke oh a key that i missed i'm actually going to go back and get that key i didn't know it's there you can see right there i'm like sort of shooting at it i'm going to try to get it you shoot that skull back there zombie head skull you guys should get some points did that real quick i gotta go all the way back oh i probably can't even go back that i think about it that's quite unfortunate i guess i'll be missing on that key a lesson learned there free life right here i'll pick up as i was saying earlier and i think i got i interrupted myself got a nuke right there as well some spikes you got to be careful of i'm playing this when the game is less than a week old so i would say i'm pretty decent at the game right now but again a few months from now i'm gonna be significantly better at whether that's because the game gets easier through patches but also just more experience right you realize certain strategies sometimes that aren't evident during the first week so right there i could have went to the end and finished it but there's no real reason to do that i got my nuke seemingly i wasn't gonna be able to pick up that key unless you know i haven't figured out how to get back up there after missing it but i was just sort of chilling there no real reason to go all the way to the finish line picked up a sprinkler which shoots little blue explosives type thing i kind of like the one that the mama back throws in the round for in-game cinematic on the island arena she blows up the teleporter i think it's the same asset but i can be mistaken monkey bomb has a nice little jingle in this game although if you stand next to it you won't be protected zombies could hit you got a present box power up down here in the bottom right getting ready for some spiders potentially yep right there there's two gladiators and spiders i should have just used the nuke i was full armory no real reason to die there down here we'll have a vortex item which gives you gems when zombies are sucked into it unfortunately no zombies i'll hit it go through the next round quite possible it stays there and gets me a couple of gems yep it's still there if they spawn from this top i'll get a couple gems no lucky top spawn so no gems so these barrels kill zombies if you hit them uh directly with the barrels so sort of a timing sort of thing with it kind of like uh they function the same way on the ebay two on the ebay one they were quite different though where they were directional they would kill zombies here to my right and to my left but you made one doa two and three rather you gotta hit them with the actual barrels in order to kill them teddy bear another item that's appeared in each of the doa games pretty helpful in this game except when you get someone throwing an axe at you you use the speed boost to avoid honey by that down here we have a clock a grandfather clock you pick it up and it's a slow-mo as we call it force field is another name on the ua2 it was a drop as well signified by a clock as a more of a round clock i think it's a it's the asset from the uh the giant the black ops 3 map the giant where it's a clock on the map right there nice little escape i was about to use the nuke but a path sort of presented itself at the last second so in this game there's a lot more going on just all these uh gladiators throw stuff at you and it's definitely uh very i would say challenging for newcomers i could i could see them having trouble with this compared to the previous two games especially i had a much-needed sip of water right there my horse was getting my horse my voice was getting quite hoarse uh at that point uh we got a challenge right called after life these guys are from black ops 4 map blood of the dead they uh sort of cause some visual particles to appear on your screen which i think are quite annoying if you uh you know make sure you don't have a seizure here watching this make sure i don't have one if you stand still here in the middle it's not the best strategy because they'll actually uh spawn on you and and potentially kill you so it is helpful to keep moving even though it may seem that standing in the middle is the best option and again i have boxing gloves i'm just going to spin of a free nuke on the map if i stand over it it's not going to give it to me so what we do is we do something called the nuke for nuke program right you have nine you can use one bam you pick it up so you'll notice also that this is the same level geometry same arena as the room of fate just different lighting some areas where you sort of semi swim in as well so this is kind of my first time playing a solo at this round so it is sort of you know uh i played quite a few co-op games at this point but not a solo so not that i anticipate running into too much of an issue but i am sort of uh let's say learning how to run properly on the fly here and right there my barrel usage wasn't very optimal a situation like that there's no reason for me not to use a nuke it's just sometimes you have an item and you feel like you got to use it right like you have a barrel or something and you're like oh i can't afford to use armory or take a death when i have this you know i got to somehow make the most of it and make an escape while i have it which is not always the wisest decision right here we're looking at a potential newt just to be safe also work down in this game if you have zero nukes at the end of a round you'll be bumped up to one on the following round not useful for me right now i have a bunch of nukes it might be something worth keeping in mind in your games same thing with the speed boost although that was always a feature with both the ua1 and 2 in regard to the speed boost specifically so this arena could be tricky in the sense that there are certain areas where you think you can maybe go up a staircase or something but you do sort of get stuck on some invisible barriers that's an arena i've noticed but a problem i've noticed with a few of these arenas actually is finding out where the geometry starts and ends and right here we got a tank here grab that you actually adjust your uh camera angle in a tank which i don't think is the case with a mech i'll have to retry that a bit later the vehicles in this game i'm not too impressed with in terms of their functionality i feel like they can't uh kill as many zombies as quickly as previous games controls are a bit wonky compared to the older games as well uh vehicle specifically the movement system is is very it's pretty fluid it's it's very similar i would say the doa2 although it is a little less forgiving in terms of the way that the zombies path and also sometimes you try making uh an escape let's call it right like a gap you try hitting and it feels like it's a little more unforgiving in this game or you die in situations where maybe a dua too you would have escaped without being hit but again it might just be a result of not having too much experience at this point in the game's life cycle so right here we got the final round the arena nice lighting i would say also first person iron pickup statues on the map so when you enter first person mode you have about 10 seconds of invincibility ring it's not too apparent because in dba 2 there was a nice sound effect that would accompany accompany you when you entered first-person mode here you sort of just gotta have a guesstimate of when your ring is about to expire when you enter first person another thing about the first person in this game is that you're not granted sort of a grace period after getting a hit from a zombie so in the ua 2 in first person you could get hit once and then you won't get hit again for like another second or something like that whereas in this game you could hypothetically get triple quad hit and downed within an instant which makes and sometimes you also try exiting first person when you're about to get trapped but they just kill you way before you can hit the button awesome very loud i'm gonna drop that also on doa2 oh right there i just ran into another first person mode it would have been optimal for me to exit this refresh my first person get some new rings and grab that first person rather than just run into it as i did also not a good idea to run into it on co-op because that means your teammate can't pick it up first persons are individualized in this game where you each got to pick up your own power up also in this game if you don't get a multiplier increase from first person and dua to you would your score multiplier would be bumped up by a total of four so right now or let's say hypothetically had a one time score multiplier i would be bummed up to a five in that game in this game you would stay at it one times so i would say that's a pretty significant nerf in terms of the first person perks that you get but again it's quite possible that changes in the future to be a bit more balanced also worth noting that you typically get a mini map when you're a first person although it seems to let you out sometimes for off host players and co-op matches gonna go to the next hill uh next arena where we got a underboss battle they'll spawn up here usually the guy we saw earlier in the wild six arms in a hot tub right from ancient evil whenever you kill him the round will end i'd be looking like a armory usage situation to push you back with one of his attacks just going to use a nuke here although it might be a while until i kill him so it's quite possible i i take a death here on purpose so if you have firepower you kill them a lot quicker than what i'm doing right now a monkey bomb up here that'll be helpful there are some drop-off areas that you can utilize up there i'll show you at the end of the round gonna die from this whirlwind there's something there is you want to avoid this water usually it says carpentine area okay but uh again i didn't want to use too much armory this guy's getting pretty weak i should be able to put some good damage into him with my ring when you die you want to use your invincibility ring as best as possible you want to charge zombie spawns and help your teammates out on co-op oh i could have made that but i'm going to just boost so i kill them around immediately ends afterwards maybe not actually okay now it's over collect this gold so when you're up here there's a few areas you could drop off in if i could find them one of them is right here nice co-op strategy is we have three players like shooting this way and this way and one uh the feet player running down there you could also drop off over here although you'll usually end up in the water which could be a bit toxic at times you could drop off here on this little thing and over here just make sure you don't land in those electric poles finally a good drop to sort of protect me i had a bit of uh at these a boost drop down to five boost which is not uh optimal but hopefully we'll get a little bonus from here get replenished so we got some difficult arenas coming up here shortly and again i have boxing gloves but you got to be careful these gladiators also it's helpful to sometimes you know i have boxing gloves i should have went down here to check the spawning area am i trapped again what is happening here something must be up surely and i almost died by a barrel always keep an eye out for item spawns if you can in the corner of your eye like i'm gonna drop down here look in the bottom left seeing what's up there if anything important maybe there's a free life i'm missing out on so it's always good to be vigilant and uh sort of looking around the map and being aware of your surroundings i would say monkey right here that's always a nice little spawn i could go all the way around and said i'm gonna cut back although maybe that's not gonna work there's some anticipation logic built into the monkey i guess we're trying to cut me off so gonna play a safe go all the way around a few people have asked me about the different fates in that ops 3 and what they do exactly it's worth knowing that it's possible the fates change a bit over time as they did with the ebay 2. but i uh explained the previous feet earlier into the this video where you move faster and also two speed boosts at the start of a round if you have two or fewer at the previous round the firepower of course you get a uh death machine this zombie hit me very quickly i gotta say so you get a death machine with the firepower also all weapons start as red skull weapons on your hood and also weapons will decay slower with firepower so this ray gun i have for instance would last longer with firepower friendship you have a chicken that follows you and imitates your primary weapon also little chickens on the map last 50 percent longer or actually twice twice as long excuse me i'll get to the other fades here in a moment once i finish this round okay check up here for gold sometimes i go through the end of the round just the gold takes a while to spawn at times i'm just trying to progress at a reasonable rate chicken nest similar bonus room as the uh t we're just gonna wait for the eggs to hatch in the meantime we'll finish the fates uh friendship last twice as long i was saying the chickens fortune you started a two-time score multiplier after taking a death also most item pickups last 40 percent longer with the fortune divine shield you start with a shield item at the start of each round so that's a barrel that's a boxing glove that's a saw blade one of those three items or even two of those three items in addition to that you start each round with two nukes if you're two or fewer and i think there's something else that i fade i'm forgetting right now i don't think so though i think that's all there is to it two nukes are the sort of each round if you're two or fewer and uh oh yeah shield items last like 50 percent longer for you if you had divine shield so again boxing gloves saw blades boxing uh barrels those three items barrels boxing gloves saw celebrates 50 longer so it is kind of like a poor man's version of fortune to it for to an extent i would say and the final uh that's a new fade of course and the sixth fate would be divine chalice which is also a new fate i'll explain that one here in a bit i'm just trying to focus up as best as possible here not trying to take another death so so the divine chalice fate is a new one of course it'll make it to where it's it's mostly a co-op fade it's pretty useless on solo it'll make it to where you revive teammates three times quicker which is helpful it'll make it to where you revive much quicker instead of 60 seconds to be brought up it'll be 30 seconds pretty nice also you'll notice when you take it that there's a sort of a short respawn timer five seconds normally with the chalice it's three seconds which isn't exactly helpful for solo solo you want to be on the ground as long as possible if you know you know it's actually detrimental to an extent to be brought up quicker back into the action and finally you recover from damage quaker with chalice which is really the only benefit for solo if you have the chalice is basically first person you'll heal quicker from fireballs you'll heal quicker or certain enemies in the deadly dungeon slash the wild that don't insta kill you you'll heal uh slightly quicker with the chalice alright so that arena was pretty sloppy if i had to be frank i stayed mostly at the bottom which i think is typically the strategy you want to do you want to avoid coming up here you'll usually get trapped but i really wasn't too pleased with the way that that went right there but not terrible we'll continue on so this arena i've got a challenge round called electro zombie therapy which is very similar to the challenge round called theory below zero from dead ops rk2 where basically there are zombies that place electric poles on the map i believe these are catalyst enemies from black ops 4 but might also be in this game i'm not too sure at a vortex here in action as you can see they get sucked up into it and gems spew out also some snowmen on the map as you can see that sort of block your movement very winter themed arena we got here first person i'll i'll definitely take that send a quick text message in first person boom picked up a top hat or some quality little honest abe basically uh spawning clones of yourself which tackles zombies with teddy bears at times which seems counterproductive also boxing gloves they'll have sometimes or other sort of shield items as you can see one of them is sort of glitched out there he doesn't know his ass from his elbow but now he's leaving me so uh real help right there you gotta be careful i think these electric zombies are able to one hit you in first person it's possible i'm wrong i'm not gonna test it here but i'm gonna assume that they do i'll operate under that assumption i'll also sometimes place poles inside the doorway so just be conscious of that all right nice a bonus area silverback slideways nice opportunity for me to get a couple lives back if i could collect on them properly i believe this is the one where i messed up last time and missed the key so we're gonna try to get that key even if i miss a free life i think it's more valuable what a useless jump pad that was okay i'm gonna backtrack quickly i think there might be a free life here definitely over here free life i died if you die again you don't lose a life not the biggest deal you just get reset the beginning gives me an opportunity to maybe get this okay fell again so that didn't work clearly i'm gonna land on spikes or something all right boom collect that free life very helpful i'm gonna try to speedrun this maybe dying would be beneficial actually all right nuke perfect i'm gonna die quickly actually so i could get brought back to the beginning and maybe try again one last ditch effort to get this uh this key gonna be very difficult i only have uh usually a six second it kicks you out so really i have only 20 seconds at this point so just gonna go quickly messed up whatever i'll just try to progress naturally and see if i can find some other stuff alright some treasure that could be helpful i'll hop in this first person nice little close-up of frosty the snowman over here right there if i didn't exit right there i was gonna die they were gonna quad slap me so i was very uh aware of that got out of there probably shouldn't have been trapped to begin with but you know if you do get trapped don't hesitate to hesitate to exit and get your brief invincibility rings to sort of protect you so right here this is i would say a pretty fairly standard arena in terms of difficulty you have a lot of room to maneuver just try not to run into the snowmen which block your your movement pick up this grandfather clock usually uh they'll be able to kill you if they get too close but they will slow down you could power through them quite easily typically chicken egg on the map i'll try to keep them away from that for the time being but based on the spawns um it looks like it's going to be toast here in a second although they seem a bit distracted by something else i'm not quite sure and they'll actually stand still sometimes from a chicken egg after they kill it don't know why that happens but that's a thing i usually you could drop weapons uh with x on xbox or square and playstation just like in dma2 i'm not a big fan of the explosive weapons because they make crawlers but you know some people may like them relief right there which i didn't need in dba 2 if you had an extra life or if you had nine lives and you earned an extra life you would actually be given like some sort of reward like a skeleton or gi unit which helps you out on this game nothing happens if you have nine lives and you earn an extra one you just keep going as if nothing happened should be able to overpower my way through with the death machine if you have a strong weapon like the death machine briefly i had a red death machine there definitely try to shoot your way through gaps or create a gap as we call it an area which you could slide by with your feet the fate i'm using of course is the furious feat the ua2 is called swift like the wind on this game the text appears as furious feat but the announcer says you are swift like the wind so i'm sure surely there's no confusion to be had there get the final around the arena with some nice unique lighting that zombie almost killed me surprised he didn't the equipment spawn rate is pretty low on this game especially uh compared to the first two games on the ua2 it was very low on release and then it was doubled over time there's a possibility a similar thing happens on this game you do get quite a bit of armory in certain bonus rooms and things like that but as far as the regular rounds go i would say it's quite rare to get items equipment as i that is nukes and speed boost also throughout the game they give you these little tips at the bottom hopefully there's a way to disable that in the future because if you're around 40 like myself here whatever around them on and uh i think like 32 actually and you know you don't really need those tips after a while they just sort of block your vision i am down here that i'm going to try to grab before it blinks away pulled the gem umbrella on the ua2 there was an umbrella which had skulls rained down from the sky this game is gems simple enough gems are useful in this game because they'll give you points but they don't really progress your multiplier all that high hold an egg on the map again on m9 lives not really worth protecting if i was in desperate need of a life i would definitely try to keep them away from it and maybe even use a nuke to clear them before they destroy it here we are at the end of the round i guess it hatched successfully very few zombies so this arena is pretty unique and uh we gotta well first we'll get through this under boss battle the blight father from black ops 4 maps nine and voyager despair so this arena you're going to be slipping sliding all over the place it's a nice rink so we got new enemies as well these crawlers just going to blast the nuke as soon as he dies oh he seems a bit gorgeous okay as soon as he dies the round is over okay i'm not really too concerned about dying there i'll be able to use my shield on this by father real quick and i didn't want to use another piece of armory anyways so got a strong weapon here should be able to finish him so long as these crawlers don't trap me as they just did all right now believe me he's toast this time but there's still a crawler which i was not conscious of so that's a tip you should keep in mind these crawlers will still be around when the round is over i thought the round was just gonna instantly end i guess that's a lesson learned for me as well the good thing now is i got the number of the beast on my hood bonus area bonus area replenish my speed boost i'm actually going to do is i'm going to leave a speed boost there and uh moves down there very well open these chests use the key to unlock i'm not gonna do that i'm gonna save the key these these uh treasure and gems are gonna be pretty helpful to get myself back up to a life or not i also have the option to open this chest with a key but not really worth it at this point and the reason why i use a speed boost uh of course uh there was an extra one on the map so just quickly cleared a guy with my speed boost and shield so this map is difficult a bit sometimes with the movement especially with the feet you're slipping and sliding all over the place so sometimes it's helpful to sort of give if you're playing on a controller give your analog some you know small nudges to make sure you're not moving out of control is it is very easy to end up launching yourself into an electric pole if you're not too careful which i'm sure will happen to me at some point i'm trapped here going to use the speed boost after using equipment you have a visibility ring definitely use it to your advantage and clear off special enemies if possible such as this gladiator i probably should have done that i'm going to be trapped here again seemingly i escaped i could have made it but i wanted to be safe didn't want to drop the five lives there so i'm just a little worried now about these nova crawlers because what happens is they could speed up the zombies as i mentioned earlier when i was making my way up the volcano again i keep trapping myself in that bottom right so now my brain has to adjust i need to say okay something's happening and that bottom right maybe i should avoid it but what do you know we're we're getting back here going to slip and slide out of here nice little double back move i'm going to take a slow here and make a cut which was very risky and that's he ended around here in a bit hopefully it's time to go so this round hopefully is a bit better only one electric pole on the map unless more replaced during the round by those uh recurring enemies from the electro zombie therapy challenge they also spawn out of the ground here which is something i gotta just keep in mind as well because it's very atypical for a doa game so sometimes you'll sort of uh a lot of concepts from regular zombies first person zombies applies to this game you'll sort of nudge them one way and then go another sort of lead them it's a bit more difficult here with the anticipation logic that i mentioned earlier but it's definitely a tactic you could employ here you'll see i'll bring them to the top bottom right sort of group i'm nice i go up here i'm running into a barrel apparently you could say um doing figure eights on the rice ice rink uh control my pace here a bit in a bit all over the place so we have more electric poles here so this one is not going to be as smooth as the last i might just go down to the two boost program which i alluded to earlier where you get two booths around we'll see how this round goes oh another thing about this round arena actually is that there's no item pickups other than weapons and gold kind of like the two arenas i was talking about earlier the die rise looking one and a graveyard so that definitely adds a difficulty component to it that uh might not maybe exist so much when once it gets fixed or balanced i'm not quite sure if it's a bug or intentional but right now there's an overcrawler which means he's going to leave a nova cloud which makes zombies super fast so i'm getting ready for that and i'm very ready for it whenever he dies i'm going to bring him to the pool here maybe almost hit that pool myself i go slow here maybe i have a gap don't have a gap unfortunately loop this way i saw the electropole was off so i used it i knew i could run through it the poles will of course turn a different color when they're about to activate these nova crawlers see how fast they are they make them they're chasing me at supersonic speed bring them into the pool luckily now i'm going to loop them this way and go back around as such that's a common maneuver which has a lot of variations again gonna bring him up here and loop back down avoid hitting that pull they're gonna be fast again look how fast they are they spawn on the left i need to quickly double back i have no time to take them slowly and groove them i need to quickly get out of there and run this guy into a pull maybe he's almost dead be careful collecting treasure you don't want to be hitting pools obviously so that this next arena is not much easier meatball soup from dua 2 very similar structure with obstacles in the middle i could barely see anything on this round you run into ground spawners i i might be taking a few deaths here but first we got the challenge round spaghetti and fill in the blank peoples enemy from doa2 of course and shadows of evil so i don't know what the strategy is for solo actually i never played this okay well that's not too surprising never played this round solo so i don't know what exactly people do is the best strategy i'm just sort of finding down the fly here i'm going to be using all my speed boosts at this current point if you have the feet like me you can maybe run them around as i'm doing a bitty uh quite easily maybe or somewhat easily it's also helpful tonight to get some nice drops right now i'm not really getting anything that i'm liking too much gonna boost up here for his nukes real quick just because i wanted to do that at the end of the round anyways and i was about to be trapped grab the nuke on the map very nice other boost right now i'm at a boost always be conscious of your armory i have nine nukes so i have my finger underneath button i'm gonna drop one because i think the round's almost over i don't want to be taking a last-minute death all right could have been a bit smoother i think uh on co-op you could usually camp in this corner here three guys here or even four guys here or you could have three of them here and one guy down there to sort of separate the pull of it during the round i boosted up here a classic trick from doa2 because this is the same arena seeing the doa2 mostly with added obstacles so basically what you do is you line yourself with the middle you boost up there usually there's i think either two or three nukes that you could collect on so this arena they spawn out the ground and it's super tough to see so hopefully i'm not dying like a noob a bunch of times this area is pretty good for co-op obviously i gotta leave now but using speed booster i can't get through that pool probably so i'm going to leave and get trapped again just boost be safe but now i have no boost this little area this little obstacle in the bottom left you could actually run through i'm gonna use that i think i see a tank a tank is gonna be very helpful if i could get to it oh that's a gembrella so i got trolled and right here i got stuck on a barrier that i didn't know was even there and they're already spawning here so another nuke is being depleted this area here you can run over use that to your advantage as much as possible crawlers just gonna drop the nuke and around evidently i need some tips and tricks for this arenan silva quite common to get stuck in ground spawns like that which is a bit unfortunate grab the mac so that'll make things a bit easier i should have used my speed boost earlier instead of my nuke because i got two speed boosts around i figured the way with the way that the previous round went that i was going to have to use my two speed boosts and a nuke so i just use the nuke first but perhaps that might not be the case since i've gotten a little better item luck this round with the uh the vehicle here just got to be careful sometimes you could die leaving the vehicles like i mentioned earlier with the the current bug in the game so i want to maybe avoid zombie spawns when i know it's about to expire this one is about i think 40 seconds or so maybe a little longer so all right it's over now i have two speed boosts around they're gonna be close to over so first sign of possible danger i'm gonna be speed boosting this area is kind of nice especially for co-op i'm getting ready to speed this it's it's over anyways a funny little note is actually i made a video in 2018 called dead ops arcade 2 origin of arenas part 1 where i sort of go over the doa 2 arenas and one of them was meatball soup that i was talking about in that game and i made a note of how it was too easy in doa 2 and that they should have added their they should have added obstacles in the middle middle to hinder your movement which funnily enough is what happened here i use it speed boost i'm messing around they're gonna hit this clock and camp here for the time being although i think they are spawning pretty close to me i gotta be conscious of that also meatballs are returning in me so i gotta make sure i don't get trapped or blindsided by meeple rather so i do think i'm getting the hang of this arena a bit better now my first solo play through sticking on this left side and doing sort of uh cutbacks might get trapped they're going to use the speed boost i'm also trying to keep my eye on the right side of the screen for possible items that might be of help i saw a gem i'm not gonna die over a gem in this game but i'd be here on my way anyway so i'll collect on it i do some sort of loop back this way although they're spawned from the ground who almost killed me should be able to get by now arcade machine beautiful that should uh help out a bit and also what the arcade machine will do is i won't get a silverback slideways at the end this ramp is at the teleport around but likely likely what will happen is at the end of the following round the end of the at the end of the first round of the following arena i'll most likely get a silverback slideways which will uh help replenish hopefully a couple lives just in time fellas uh oh i can't enter the teleporter okay i was about to about to say what's going on there really is my game bugged now we got a challenge round spectral hounds of the dark wood i wasn't even looking at these guys wow that was unexpected unless they're busy like trying to read the text or something uh these guys will kill you one hit the dogs they're from blood of the dead in black ops 4. fortunate that it wasn't paying attention he's a speed boost a vortex there's another speed boost i was getting crap by those dogs real quick blocked on these gems drop a new way too many dogs for my liking first person this will be perfect wait a second sometimes it's good to wait a few seconds on drops if you think you're safe just to sort of prolong the round since the rounds are time based primarily your boss battle perfect i have a death machine for his basket never mind now i picked up a china lake under boss battle after mid round which is the first monkey bomb gonna hit real quick this guy's gonna keep reaching and health and probably take a while to kill which is a bit unfortunate but the way it goes sometimes i just wait for a good item maybe zombie spawns have seemingly stopped you can never trust it in this game i kill him before he regens as such so if my theory is correct we're going to have a silverback slideways here since we got the power up at the end of the meatball soup arena and i guess i was correct i don't know where all the free lives are located here so i guess that's a bit of an issue but hopefully i run into a couple hmm i think i see a nuke up there which will be helpful damn it i wasted this thing for the time being duke up there i'm gonna try to get hey good i look for this free life now and knock it up a bit unfortunate that i couldn't find a free life i'll die quickly maybe brought to the star and find one quick we'll see no nothing so here we have the meeple and again i was avoiding the arcade machine pickup for the first few days of the game's release because there's a bug with it so only recently have i started playing it and sort of uh checking it out so i'm not i don't know the ins and outs of it too much that particular challenge but a lot of people have been messaging me for sort of tips and tricks and playthroughs so rushing out this video even though you know it might be better to maybe hold off a bit then understand all the nooks and crannies of the game but people want what they want i guess so i'll be saying still because of the chicken egg that i believe was on the map mini map on first person keep that in mind always good to see sometimes look in the corner see where they're spawning you could go up and down these things usually pretty easily barring some invisible barriers got a meeple on the map we don't want that to kill us in first person we're gonna exit and run into it with our shield to quickly eliminate it a speed boost left on the tube boost fair wearing here with the furious feet make sure we use that before we die also these shadow boogies could become crawlers on this game i use the boost a little too close for my comfort there crawler here nice gonna drop the bomb round's over max ammo of course uh brings your gun up a level got an axe by the gladiator was hoping he wouldn't i would be able to shoot him maybe and prevent him from it didn't quite work out as envisioned that pull looks a little too close to the wall unfortunately and i'm trapped again gotta use the speed boost sometimes electric pulls will spawn really close to the sort of edges of the map to where you can ride along it as such a run for that first person stand over this upgrade thought the round's over so i'm gonna exit just be safe it should be close to being over go into the final round of this arena and here we have another sideways so i went to the top and got a nuke last time this time i'm going to check at the bottom maybe we got a couple of free lives i could sniff out here there's one okay so the bottom path will have a free life pretty early on keep that in mind i'm gonna go for this i think maybe something here i'm gonna take a quick look a little peak i'm gonna take yes there's nothing there okay well whatever we'll go along flame crouch here maybe i don't die yep crouch by those i think that i should go here i wonder what's down here that's one thing i'll be a vlogger or something or lava to kill me that's another alternative i quickly try to get this nuke that should be here somewhere i think i have time for it if i rush hope not gonna make so we got one free life out of it not terrible could have been better most likely gonna camp here in the boxing gloves grab them again be conscious of enemies like meatballs or gladiators some gold down there i'm gonna collect on so the thing about keys on solo that i just remembered as well is if you if you run out of lives you could trade in your keys for extra extra lives and you'll want to trade them all in at once because i think there's a glitch where if you trade only one like it takes all the many ways or something so there's a spectral hound of the undead right there i didn't know if he was going to one hit me so it kind of just played a safe i was trapped anyways more or less i use the speed boost i'm not trying to get stuck there for the umpteenth time of the arena tank right there i'm going to use these electric or i'll just hop in it actually sometimes you get a little too cute where you try maximizing drops you'll say i'll use all my electric orbs before i hop in the tank and then something happens like a meatball lands on you so sometimes it's worth it to optimize but at the same time you need to in a situation like this i'm not looking to waste any lives and i died leaving a vehicle i probably should have been a bit more careful with the the barrel on the map and things like that but uh very unfortunate death right there so what happens is when you leave the vehicle there's probably a brief moment of uh vulnerability the ua2 had the same bug eventually was fixed seems to be uh something going on something going on the code worth looking into so we got a challenge right called dead drop very similar to the challenge rounds called downpour and more downpour in the ua 1 and 2 respectively except this time there will be wardens spawning in as the slow tanky zombies much more tanky than the previous two downpours in previous games these my barrels there my advantage speed boost right there some funny business about to go down right here you could actually drop off this ledge and i'm stuck for some reason maybe coming up the ledge as such i dropped right there they won't start running at you until you shoot them and trigger them so sometimes it's helpful to leave the wardens as they are right there i hit that gap and they started they sort of anticipated that move and tried cutting me off if you could tell coat of arms basically turns the zombies into friendly ais drop from dead officer k2 so i could come up here but it's a little uh risky for the biscuit type business going on you drop off here though which is helpful i'll show those drop off areas a bit more closer ooh i thought i could make it a field goal between the pulls clearly couldn't probably should just use the speed boost since the rounds over over here is a good camping air for co-op you can't drop off over here though although you could drop off on this ledge like that also you drop off here on this side and over here you can drop off one final note i'll make of up here so you'll want to avoid this area typically and if you fall off here you actually can't go back up this way you need to drop off all the way but down here in this area is a good area to run in or so low with the feet so there we got a mech vehicle i'll have to cross my fingers and hope i don't die while leaving it as you can see i did a couple loops before i hopped in there no reason to immediately hop in the vehicle it's not going to magically disappear there is a timer obviously for items but it is pretty uh generous usually around 25 seconds before an item blinks down but this canoe here of course uh stops your movement and right now i'm just totally stuck and probably gonna die from these meatballs if my vehicle expired just now barrel i'm getting flashbacks i need to get out of here asap i live to uh see another day apparently when it comes to the vehicle all right so we got a vortex in the top left i'm gonna hit that here in a bit not gonna die for it though zombies are cracked out chicken egg not really worth protecting usually doesn't have anything too good in it i'm gonna collect on these gems though and i'm trapped so i'm gonna use a boost make one final pass for these gold use another boost i didn't like the way that guy was curling on me so really at this at this point in the game i should be able to be nine live seven seven nuke seven boost although again this is my first time playing solo on this game at this level so there are some silly mistakes that i'm making that i would uh you know let's say avoid the following play through or the one after so we'll see what happens i'm having some fun sharing some decent uh tips hopefully so i vision i'll be uploading this uh rip but we'll uh see what happens maybe i'll end up recording another one and trying to do a little bit better at certain times all right this this certainly helps right now i don't have any free equipment to burn so i'm just going to take my time shooting these elites keep my distance they'll uh break apart like that be one more that attacks me a good tip is to use this as cover right here these guys are usually pretty weak once it breaks apart i'm going to open some stuff down here just make sure you don't open the chest requiring a key such as this one you can get the foul five piece achievement if you grab these and we're good to go gonna make sure i zoom out my camera remember that camera gets reset when you leave a bonus room in previous game solo you could only play on the zoomed in version sort of thing like the mid zoom that i was just in at the very start of the round on this game for the first time solo could be zoomed all the way out which is helpful maybe a bit too op at times but for now it's it's helpful now wait a second grab this first person usually the hitbox for the first person i item itself is pretty generous you could be kind of far away and still up in it so if you say like oh i might die trying to get that first person should i go for it sometimes it's worth just a try go for it because it'll uh you know throw you into first person uh pretty generously so we gotta item pick up here gonna make sure we don't get okay we got a speed boost nice no spiders so right now i have a good weapon i'm just gonna drop it because it's super loud in first person i mean this is probably as loud as it is but when it's a red or purple rpd i'm really competing probably for your your earlobes all right we got a mech here sometimes there might be some decent items at the top but you can't see the whole map so at this point i'm just forgoing those items i'm not really gonna die to see what might be up there after all it could be something very use useless but maybe it's something useful as well maybe it's a free life blinking away there's no way of telling i guess i guess i can make my way with the mech maybe but i'm just trying to keep my distance right now with these vehicles i'm not trying to have the uh the bug happen to me where i die while leaving it which could possibly happen i have a lot of special enemies next to me okay made my way out of there gonna tackle the meatball and fall off real quick run a little they're gonna cut me off there huh oh that's okay i boosted into here and it just reset me back to the bottom right there i might have lived without using a speed boost because i got the electric orbs but i'm not 100 sure how these orbs work in this game seemingly there they kill them all so i guess they're pretty safe but they they do seem to vary from game to game so in a situation like that i wasn't trying to you know see what happens where like a couple zombies somehow survived the electric orb but seemingly i might have been able to make it just fine i'm gonna make my way up here almost the end of the round it looks like might be some sort of drop i'm missing out on again this is a nice camping spot for co-op a barrel coming here so i'm gonna play it safe sort of keep an eye out for drops i think i see some silver down here never mind some flowers i saw also if you try jumping on this canoe it's sort of just like i'll show you here in a second or just like i didn't get a good jump let's get rid of this barrel guy sort of uh starting to piss me off a bit you jump on the barrel of just for a canoe it'll sort of just bounce you back so try avoid doing that because i could bounce you back into the horde or something like that thanks the first person collect this school of my my ring that i get from exiting i stayed a little bit too long in that side the map ended up getting trapped right stand next to the vortex i go up here quickly take a look at what's happening that's some treasure i'll collect on these dogs will hit you in one person in the current build of the game might change in the future but just something to keep in mind rock and box rob from dead officer k2 shoots rockets and deer like a sam turret of sorts i use the boost here probably go back down to the two biz program to be safe sometimes when you have the feet you don't always have to be running at full speed sometimes it's helpful just to take it easy have them nice and worried i'm gonna go up here probably utilize the drop off option like that grab this teddy bear since it's pretty useful on this game i'm thinking where do i want to go they're coming out of a lot of areas i'm going to push forward my teddy bear utilize that drop looks like a pole this place here it's currently grayed out so i could less experienced players might run into that now it has color it was placed there by that electro zombie therapy enemy looking at a speed boost here since i'm pretty low in speed boost i might just end up using all of them this round for the sake of it although i could probably get by quite pull them this way go back down this way manipulate the way that they they come down that drop up and down the drop off area all right so that's the end of the arena nice little visual flair to it as well with their purple water probably don't want to drink from it but nice look to it so so now we got mama back's house arena interesting uh elements on the map such as a lawnmower which will kill you both you and the zombies so right now i'm waiting for it to go i might you know run some zombies by it for the sake of so you guys could see oh those exciting okay now it's activating another one down here so keep that in mind first person drop here grab that nice little close-up view of this lawnmower i think i see a gold egg on the map i'm gonna keep them on this way i'll decide the map avoid away from the egg as much as possible i'm gonna exit and protect this egg with my shield there we go should be hatching at any moment there there it is so this room is pretty roomy uh to run in for solo with the feet especially there's an escape route you could take here with the surfboard nice camping area where i'm at right now they'll only come from uh in front of you so i'm gonna chill here for a second and and burn some time sometimes uh a ghost will spawn on me so i gotta be careful for that but right now it's looking like i'm gonna have to use a boost to get out of here although they seem a bit confused right now with what i'm doing but not going to get too cocky and a boost get out of there and again there's a nice little area to go here take this a first person drop i might just end up using my boost to get it since i have one boost left that i can use with the feet and then that first person should take me through the end of the round i'm gonna boost toward it here we go so this is actually the screen where when you game over it's on the screen and the llama back will be up there there's also spring pads here i've seen in some earlier challenges you can take them and be launched i'm not going to do that right now there's not really any point to it but maybe i'll demonstrate it at some point some meatball here gotta be careful with them gonna take this little lip here in the to get back in be careful for the lawn mower swing them into the pools and go for that boxing glove you grab the boxing glove you should already anticipate and get ready to start spinning to protect yourself don't look around maybe there's some items of notes okay some treasure the zombies are even being flung by that spring over here we have arcade machine gonna be very handy when i pick it up make sure i pick it up use a boost right here's the top hat as i picked it up earlier a few arenas ago again you'll have guys who spawn in with random items random shield items seems like they evaporated pretty quickly if you see a red marker like that above me and nothing spawns in for a couple seconds it seems like it's most likely going to be a meatball at that point so just keep that in mind anticipate that a meeple is going to be on the map shortly afterwards you drop off this ledge here just gonna chill here for a bit you can't go back into the uh lawn area from this point unless i go forward push forward into that sort of uh in an entrance way let's call it broken fence swinging the zombies here confuse them a bit but i got a speed boost that i'm ready to use like that i'm gonna look for some treasure on the map make sure i don't get run over by the lawn mower all right looks like there's nothing really going on usually they'll spawn treasure about 10 to 20 seconds after around then sometimes on this game but not really worth waiting for at this point so since i had the arcade machine it looks like i'm gonna have a silverback slideways here free man right below me i'm gonna grab that and make sure i get through this vlogger before i die i'm not trying to wait for that vlogger oh let's go between those fireballs okay that worked out quite well fireball damage okay respectable so gonna try to progress a little further look for a nuke i think the nuke would be helpful at this point even more so than a free life since i'm at eight i'm one fireball hit away from dying so could be quickly reset to the back here unfortunately miss out on the nuke but we'll just go to the end that's just fine see a chopper over here now wait as long as possible they're all going to flip they're not going to come through this area although they seem confused when i go over here i'm just going to hop in this chopper again the navigation with these vehicles is a bit clunky at times and make sure the uh the glitch doesn't happen either where i die try to avoid that as best as possible probably should have exited for that first person item i think i'll just chill in this chopper for the time being go up this little area right here being flung speed boosts i have two speed boosts at this point perfect first person item like that is gold real quick on the back's house nice launch yes gonna check this corner real quick for items nothing there okay we'll get out of here um there's a spawn right by me as you can see unboxing gloves wait a second rap and spin pole is being placed here as you could tell i dropped this reagan i'm not too big a fan of it the way it's shooting these meatballs people seem to be stuck there as well so we'll loop around i got flung the first person i'm gonna miss out on these meeples are still chasing me a loop around here use these electric orbs see one of them still survived and then i guess i was so concerned with him that i didn't see the other guy you go quite far into that side there on the fence without getting stuck surprisingly really i should use my boost since i have them at this point can't afford to take it out there again a lot of people they ask me for tips and it's just at the end of the day i always tell them it comes down to practice practice makes perfect right i know it's a cliche at the end of the day you can watch me play you can watch other people play it'll help your brain will recognize patterns that the players are performing but at the end of the day if you can't apply those things yourself it doesn't matter so at the end of the day you need to get that practicing you need to learn you need to see what you could get away with you need to learn how to manage your equipment and that takes time it's not something that can happen overnight so we got a new arena here a nice bear rug and a throne i guess this arena is called the throne room these fireballs of course are a bit of an issue again stuck at the end of the bridge which is helpful i'll get out of here now and uh make my way over here i use the speed boost and grab this mech hopefully i'll fall underneath the bridge with it i think there is i think a glitch where your game could end if you fall underneath potentially so also this little area could go to although most players don't go here since this dragon's breathing fire they'll usually just avoid it uh oh actually no i think about it i should avoid it myself i'm not trying to get blasted by fire as my vehicle is expiring so we'll sort of keep our distance here this is a pretty good area to run in usually although you probably have to switch off between upstairs and downstairs definitely we're playing solo utilize the whole map on co-op the bottom left area by those bridges very reminiscent of chinatown and doa2 i would recommend camping there uh if you have a co-op match you can even camp there with all four players quite frankly if if you're coordinated the whole fourth corner all four players dug into that corner you might see some armor here and there but mostly you could uh get away with it i got stuck there i wasn't expecting to get stuck a lot of it even myself right now learning the nooks and crannies of all the different areas where a map ends and where it begins sort of thing you also gotta make sure at the end of the round that you don't die by these fireballs so take your time collecting gold and get out of the round also quite roomy over here by the the throne itself fireballs coming out of this bear rug amongst other areas i don't know if that fire hits me seemingly it did possibly i was a little hesitant there because frankly i haven't been through here and i think the one time i have i felt like i didn't die by the fire so right there i was a little unsure but i guess you know be careful and again if you get hit by one of these fire balls as i have my hud is right right now i'll slowly recover but if another one hits me right now i'll unfortunately take a death and i'm i got stuck on the chair silly mistake just from an experience of running in this particular spot i should have went this way rather than to the side of the chair loose real quick clear out this gladiator there's a warden up here i'm going to shoot him looks like the round's near over maybe a few more spawns there might be some good stuff i'm missing out on down there but i'll just chill up here for the time being okay okay looks like nothing else i'll just go through some sort of bonus room you could tell by how long the black screen is between rounds i miss out on that that's fine wow hmm key up there i keep missing out on i'll quickly die and try to get back to the top oh i got 20 seconds though it should be good got a key get out of here okay see him at my camera we're getting close to the end fellas i can tell you i'm getting a little bit hungry but speed boost a nice meatball there yeah there's another speed boost there's a pool blocking the bridge as you can see below me which is quite unfortunate probably going to take a death if i get trapped not really trying to use armory my five nukes would only uh since i already have nine lives that pull being off i need to get by before it turns on and i did okay very well this pole is really close somehow made it got a tank beautiful also having gotten the kaboom nuke room from earlier might have been a helpful uh situation in my case and when i was running low on noose and probably for some of you a bonus room like that sometimes it's luck dependent like it might bail you out you know i'm waiting for this bolt to turn off i could get by it fortunately cut a gap there through the poles they roll off i think there's a good drop i miss out on like a boxing gloves or something not 100 people up here so now i'm going to make my way down i want no business with this meeple at the moment meatballs are a bit different than doa2 insofar as they could seemingly get closer to you without killing you but they are tankier i would say where they are more difficult to kill and they'll sort of have a momentum type ability at times where they just they lock on you and and go for you at times but i guess even doa2 was like that at times if any of you have played that going to make my way out of here first person drop same concept applies gonna wait on a bit hop in i see an overcrawler quite a nice arena i would say looking pretty swell there's a look at the bear rug a lot of neon type type lights 1980s cold war seven right there i exited i got hit and i saw another first person so instead of just running into it and grabbing a duplicate item i'm gonna exit get a shield grab this and now i have another shield at the start of the first person so it's just a way of maximizing your first person's burning time getting extra kills definitely a method you should employ if you see an additional first person food so right here i picked up the jet gem umbrella which is why there are some gems up here also pole guy that i saw in first person earlier i didn't quite kill him in time so he placed a few uh you place one pull can't seem to hop on that teleporter upgrade system so you don't have to go around so i'm actually gonna have the wild after this round so i'm gonna save my speed boost because i don't think my speed boost will be replenished when i enter it okay i'll use one even though it probably wasn't too necessary all right we'll make our way to the wild so while the teleporters on 36 starting first person all the time it's like apocalypse now all right another crawler spawn exit first person run into these guys my shield changed my camera so while the ones that 36 get glitch out and 20 this one you will hit even if you need a round five shortcut then got a key right there you can also use these barrels to run into the elite up ahead almost ran into a spike i wonder if i have invulnerabilities look at this guy glitching up there i have a red gun i'm gonna usually maybe not actually go back down here gonna wrap around now with the first person we got here first person i'll exit re-enter some bats from dead of the night i think i'll just go buy them real quick so i'll open this chest first i keep falling off collecting school all right go up ahead here should be able to kill this guy with my stuff see if any equipment i killed them with my shield items these bats seem pretty useless to be honest i'm gonna exit this build my shield grab another first person i have another one just exploit these first verses to your advantage they'll actually get concussed even though i'm invincible technically exit that quickly finish him off usually some equipment out here just got to be careful i'll just go through looks like i'm safe crawlers might be a pain the boost actually get rid of them real quick that didn't quite work as envisioned got to get that here it looks like i'll regroup for a moment i'm gonna push real quick and finish them off as such wait for any spikes to finish i don't know what's here exactly some sort of equipment speed boost okay and nukes that could be helpful there's another sort of area to this where you could get a free life and things like that but i don't really need it right now so i'm gonna go through to this boss fight you can't exit first person here actually unless maybe i could skeleton big skeleton just sort of take your time make sure you get hit markers let it shoot and then wrap around it okay i died anyways i have a shield like a sort of stick on it for a bit i'll get out of here run into this warden real quick so there's sometimes a free man up there where i was just looking but i'm just gonna oh leave see what we have good to go what so soon how dare you leave us all right now we got the mergo underboss he was another boss on jungle on d way too and he killed quite quickly there i seem to be like permiss load or something whatever i'll just go my shield and finish him off here it's time i don't know if that arcade machine registered looks like it did so uh okay i fell for that trick again got a couple of free lives and earned my own very nice i'm gonna look for a nuke real quick hmm yeah that sucks all right that's about that around 62 here we go a couple more rounds sometimes it's good to juke them a bit like this and sort of confuse them with the anticipation logic they're gonna anticipate you need to counter them somehow if they're gonna be super smart fast i'm just gonna speed boost right there that guy killed me pretty quickly i mean in previous games you wrap around him without issue this one he's just he's almost ready just to smack you first person i'm gonna grab that food grabbing a vehicle like that will actually exit you out of first person i'll exit myself that was the end of the round i think it is right there and use the end so i just boosted through them right there they were just super fast i should have just boosted it a silly move but again it's a silly feature vertex up there a boost here make sure i get out of this people on the map pretty close to earning a life other people use this thing up in first person well the meeple should be cleared barrel zombie clear him as well double gems very well might be trapped here and then keep an eye on the mini map see we're spawning it hit a pole in first person i'm pretty sure at least on regular rounds maybe not the wild exit there and there we have another first person they could also sometimes spawn from the ground on quite a few of these arenas where you wouldn't expect it to happen so i'm using the side of my boxing gloves i'm not going to spin in first person unless i want to be nauseous a speed boost there to make sure i speed boost for it before it blinks away and i miss this somehow beautiful all right that's the round time to go so kind of like the first dua the 64 the boss ram will actually be a normal round and then the boss will appear later in it whereas in doa2 it appeared immediately on the final round so a bit different ball is good very well grab this first person i might also be inclined to save my armory for the boss some of it uh rather than using two speed boosts because they're not going to be replenished for the boss swing also if you're going for the pristine pelt dark ops colon car challenge where you beat 64 without dying it's the boss round itself once uh the text appears whatever it is like mama back in about in a few minutes you could die in this regular round and still get it so a good strategy sometimes is to save your armory for the boss round and then just spam it or have your teammate spam armor if they already have the challenge and make a conscious effort to protect i was thinking about doing just a pure gameplay guide like i did the previous two but i figured this time around add some commentary maybe spice it up a bit maybe it also serves as a tips and tricks while also being game play so hopefully if anyone's still listening at this point they've found it helpful also of course time stamps to skip around got two nova crawlers on the map i'm gonna take the death there oh i didn't see that zombie he nearly took me out so the boss round should be coming up here at any moment sometimes it's helpful to maybe hold a weapon if you think it's coming close keep an item there rpd let me grab that here we go should be the end soon someone's hiding there he is running into the full all right now we got the boss fight at this point if you're in the pristine off challenge christine pelt challenge you gotta make sure you don't die from this point on i'm gonna get some attacks like that one boosting as i was gonna just say i get this reagan blasted do some decent damage they'll boost up jet pack like that drop a new there outrun it pretty well with the feet pillow does a super fast animation like that seems like the monkey also takes gems at times so a lot of speed boost attacks right there usually a co-op it goes down much easier with the added firepower throw some monkey uh banana bombs like the ua2 i already had the pristine pill challenge i'm not too concerned about doing that drop a bomb is getting very boss was very fast there for a second not really getting too many good drops here uh up another bomb boost attack i haven't seen it too often for kind of interesting almost like an anticipation logic to it i'm going to go super spread mode you got to be careful like that very very quick movement on the back there this basic loops around you also gotta be conscious of zombies make sure you're still playing good fundamental play in that double back here which almost cost me and banana bombs will slow you down you can walk over them at least on the eoa too i imagine it's the same principle here has her own boss music as well oh i didn't see the third poll i was too busy the first two seems like the drops are very limited on the boss round i haven't seen a first person many vehicles or anything like that of the health bar is getting pretty low there nice little cup back should be gone here in a second mama back is getting desperate to run uh banana bombs all right so now you just collect on some gems mama back defeated at this point you'll get the reunited with fight alina achievement slash trophy worth 15 gamer score on xbox and bronze on playstation very similar ending to the ua2 i'll show the cutscene nice pull on the teleporter so what papa back confirmed so basically the game loops over with longer rounds faster enemies stronger zombies and also some more special enemies thrown into the mix like elite zombies that appeared in some of the challenges nosferatu's etc so a lot more special enemy spam you'll see and you know the rounds continue more or less but the game isn't technically over at 64. if that makes any sense it keeps going and people still play at a high level but anyways that about wraps up this play through hope it was hopefully it was helpful to you leave a like if it was and thanks for watching you
