Genshin Impact HARDCORE Mode | Episode 1 - Tutorial with Paimon
In this Genshin Impact Ironman run, I try to complete the entire Spiral Abyss with PERMADEATH enabled, meaning that whenever a character dies, they stay dead and are no longer playable for the duration of the run. See below for detailed rules.
Episode 1: Tutorial with Paimon
Summary of Rules:
1. PERMADEATH. Once a character is downed, they cannot be revived/played anymore.
"Death" is anything that results in a visible "fading out" animation, similar to when enemy NPCs die
1a. Examples of "death":
Combat damage
Environmental damage (fall damage, exploding barrels)
Status effects (burning, electro-charged, etc)
Drowning
1b. Examples of "not death":
Falling outside the map (usually in domains)
2. COMPLETELY F2P. No Welkin, BP, Genesis crystals, etc.
3. NO STATUE HEALING. All statue autohealing turned off.
4. NO BUFF FOOD, NO HEALING FOOD IN COMBAT. Healing food out of combat is ok after getting one E-Healer.
5. NO RUNNING AWAY. Must fight any "aggro'd" enemies.
6. NO TELEPORTING WHEN IN COMBAT (when "combat music" is playing).
7. *NO ARTIFACT DOMAINS (STC).
8. *NO "FARMING" NORMAL BOSSES. Only kill normal bosses for ascension mats. Weekly bosses excluded.
9. NO EXP OVERCAPPING. Must raise world level as soon as available.
10. NO CO-OP.
