15 Ways to Die?

[JennyGenesis]

First off I just want to announce that I bought myself a PS4 this week so that's that platform I will be buying New N Tasty for.

Anyway, to the matter at hand, I want to discuss the trophy being put into the game where Abe needs to die in 15 "unique ways".

I'm really confused here because I didn't even know there were 15 ways to die, this is the way I look at it.

Firstly we have the basic deaths:

Shot by Slig
Blown up by mine
Falling from a great height
Walking into an electric fence
Falling down a hole (such as trap door or gap in floor)
Eaten (Scrab, ETC)
Shot by wise mudokon.

So there's a few, but now here's where things get complicated, so lets look at Abe being killed from an explosion. He can come into direct contact with a land mine, hit by a flying mine, hit a UXB when it's red or be killed by blast damage from an explosion, the point I'm getting at is do these all count as part of the "15 deaths"?

The same can be said about being eaten, does being killed by a Slog, Scrab or Paramite all count as one death since Abe gets eaten or do they all count as separate since they are separate creatures?

As for other deaths, it's self explanatory such as coming into contact with bats or being hit by the spiked boulders in the paramonian temple.

Lastly, does the bad ending count as death? It sound like I'm over thinking this since surely that does not count as gameplay, but still, I see it as a death, but if you really wanna get deep then think about when Abe first meets big face, just remember than when the big face first appears he tells Abe that he is dead.

I'm going to be so disappointed if you can't run through the electrical barrier and set off the uxb bomb at the same time at that one spot in RF again

That should be counted as a unique death in itself pfff

15? Pah! How about a 100?*

*some are from Exoddus

I always do that with a Slig from the next screen.

Killing yourself with a possessed slig should be an achievement.

[Job McYossie]

Killing yourself with a possessed slig should be an achievement.

It'll probably be one of the 15 deaths.

[JennyGenesis]

I remember being able to do that on AE but where is it possible in AO?

[Manco]

In Paramonia there’s the part just before you enter the Temple where you come down using a pulley platform, possess a Slig and use him to kill other Sligs in your path. If you take the Slig all the way back to where the pulley is you can shoot Abe.

Shot by Slig; 1
Blown up by mine + UXB + Grenade; 4
Falling from a great height; 5
Walking into an electric fence; 6
Falling down a hole; 7
Eaten by scrab + paramite + slog; 10
Killed by bees + bats; 12
Shot by wise mudokon; 13
Intoxicated by gas; 14
Rolled over by a roller; 15

That's it.

Oh,

Killed by a falling stone, red/green, paramonia boulder sack - 18;
And Boombat - 19.

[Bullet Magnet]

Blown up by mine
Shot by slig
Shot by mudokon
Eaten by wildlife
Mutilated by boombat
Electrocuted by security fence
Fall onto floor
Fall into hole
Slaughtered by meat grinder
Knocked down by spiky pendulum
Crushed by falling debris
Stung by bees
Poisoned by gas
Grenade suicide
Run down by Indiana Stones

As far as I can tell the rest a subsets of the above. Different bombs, different animals, different debris, getting shot from the background, combination effects (shot/mauled off ledges, into bombs etc), UXB fails and so on. The new game might make some of these more obviously different effects with new animation.

[gishygleb]

If we add Indiana Stones, background shot and meat grinder, then there are 22 ways to die.

Pleasant licker, there you go with 100 kills:

I prefer the bit where a Slog can run through the barrier and still maul you while it dissolves.

[Slog Bait]

THEY'RE BOTH WONDERFUL WAYS TO DIE

[Job McYossie]

Screw that. I like it when I can stand next to a mine next to a barrier, posses a slig, make said slig run through the barrier, into the bomb, when then explodes Abe.

[Slog Bait]

I can't actually remember if there are any moments like that

[gishygleb]

AO - Zulag 4 - before the passage to the gas alarm room.

I'm trying to remember the positioning of the mines, though. I don't recall them being close enough to the barrier that you could blow up the slig and Abe at the same time after running through the electrical field. I definitely know it was easy to blow yourself up/electrocute yourself if you threw the grenades, though.
