Games/Parts You've Cheesed.

I've cheesed every single Uncharted crushing run due to the difficulty just coming from lots of high damage enemies so I'll find a spot to camp.
Also Lazarevic at the end of U2 where you can use the tree to clip into the geometry and he can't hit you was a blessing on Crushing

I used the Corrupted Monk exploit before it was patched once I got to the final stage normally just so I didn't have to go thru all that again.
Also always cheese the Deep Accursed in the Cathedral of the Deep, no reason not to, really.

Harvest Moon. You can earn lots of money by making cheese with the cheese maker.
The best kind of cheese in a video game.

There's an ability in AC Valhalla to slow down time and shoot arrows, even if you don't have any in your inventory. Great for headshots or hitting weak points to get a stun attack. There's also an explosive arrow ability that is great for bypassing some puzzles where you would otherwise need to find/carry an explosive pot to break a wall.
I haven't even bothered to look at the other abilities. Those two alone have been such a great help already.

There's a boss in Deus Ex Human Revolution, the third one I think, where I dragged a sentry turret through the whole level and hid behind it as it killed the boss.
In one boss fight in Vampyr the boss got stuck in geometry i could hit the but they wouldn't hit me.
Just went ahead and took advantage of it. Free boss fight.

I was chugging firebombs at him from outside the fog gate.
Skipping the last Warden fight in Halo 5. The other fights against him can be fun because you're usually given a lot of fire power nearby to handle him. But the last one is a fight against three of him. Screw that. I just used the thruster-ground pound skip to continue on my way.
Fear my Solar Grenades!
Also this.
The first boss can be killed (or at least could at launch) by taking cover behind a specific box and chucking grenades. He couldn't hit you there. I was doing a stealth run so I gladly used that cheese.

Destiny 1, Crota's End raid, the first area with the lamps you could run past the thrawl and then jump onto a rock almost immediately after the start and from there jump and use your special to juuuuuuust leap onto the ledge above. Then no more thrawl would spawn and you could walk all the way to the bridge of light unmolested cutting out the vast majority of the level, then kill the only Ogre that would spawn and you were free to collect your raid boots in peace.
It was supposed to be only possible with a Titan but I managed it as a Warlock with void. Even put it on YouTube, got about 20 views ha ha.

You actually don't even need that ability to cheese her, all you have to do is that dodge attack to the right where Sekiro does that circular motion, a tutorial message pops up for that right at the beginning of the fight which makes it even more hilarious.
I don't..You know
what is the name of that character and what game is it from?
and how can you cheese it.
thx.
I feel like I had to cheese all of Uncharted 1 to beat it on Crushing. The cover system just doesn't work on that difficulty. But I found if instead of taking cover, you just stand near the edge of a wall, you can shoot enemies but they can't shoot you.
I cheesed money in Dragon Age Inquisition. If you withdraw and deposit into your storage box simultaneously, it duplicates your item. So I just made an ungodly amount of my most expensive items and became rich as fuck.
I've only enjoyed Fallout 4 after generating myself a ton of resources and leveling up right at the beginning of the game, so throwing that into the hat for this topic at hand.
With that game, I haven't actually ever gone full max level amounts of cheat -- I just level myself up to about level 30 and give myself weapons and equipment that are at about 3/4 of their maximum potential.
It makes exploring the world at an open pace a lot more exciting to me, and I guess it kinda-sorta makes sense lore-wise that a pre-war adult being revived in the wasteland might have some skills to work with? I mean, probably not anything that specifically has to do with wasteland survival, but something to start off with at least, beyond the small amount of stat and perk determination you get as a player otherwise at the outset of the game.

Raid boss in Destiny.
Any game that has an easy xp or money glitch.
Or in Prey, you could split resources and it like quadruple everything.

And I'm not even ashamed! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Noted, I'm totally doing this when I get there.
Demons Souls remake was the first Souls game I used a magic build. I feel like I've cheesed through most of the bosses
Creating 100% magick reduction gear to spam spells cause I hated the melee combat in Skyrim. Constantly dual casting magic would stun lock enemies.
I also did the gold bar trick in RDR2 cause running around collecting money off dead bodies like a cowboy vacuum was getting tedious.

namir deus ex human revolution
hold forward during cutscene press circle soon as cutscene eneds fight over
In Xenoblade Chronicles 2 one of the hardest fights for me was Jin & Malo's at the end of Chapter 7. You only have to get one of them down to half health, but it was just a pain in the ass for me.
In my multiple attempts, I realized that Malo's instantly targets Rex if he grabs a potion within range. So I did the cheesiest strategy I've ever done and just kept spamming anchor shot, grabbing the potion, and running away. Malos would be chasing Rex around like something out of Benny Hill, while I had Zeke and Tora fight Jin in the background.

Technically every boss/miniboss in sekiro aside form Genichiro as i used non parrying methods as i suck at parrying.🧀

So what games or specific parts have you just thrown in the towel (to win) and gone through the path of least resistance?
Breath of the Wild
Using Revali's Gale is a great way to circumvent a lot of issues with travel. Whether it's rainy weather making an uphill climb painful (and Link's stamina kinda blows even when it's maxed out), or making it easier to clear the Divine Beasts (especially Vah Nabooris).
It's always the first ability I go for.
Final Fantasy
Any fucker that can be taken down with a Phoenix Down and/or Healing Items I'll take it. I don't think I've ever done an "honest fight" with an undead enemy if I could help it. I don't have all day for your fights!!! 🥊 👻
(oh, and specifically FF7 related I just remembered the Enemy Skill materia is something you get pretty early on, and will stay on the whole game if you put even a little work in).
Bloody Crow of Cainhurst, Bloodborne.
Bastard who teleports behind your with his blood katana like a fuckin weeb. Stayed in the entrance of the chapel and poked him to death with my Ludwig Great Sword.
Heals himself too, IIRC.
This is Atheon from Destiny's Vault of Glass Raid, he's the final boss.
This is supposed to be the ultimate challenge in the entire game, and people discovered that if you threw grenades that created an area of effect (Solar Grenades, Vortex Grenades, etc.) Atheon would move to avoid them. However, if you threw a whole bunch and maneuvered him to a ledge he would walk right off of it and instantly die.
Cheesing Atheon is famous in the Destiny community. It was patched after about a month or so.
Frankly there are a ton of Final Raid Boss cheeses throughout Destiny's history. You could make Crota permanently kneel by disconnecting your internet at the right time and render the fight almost meaningless. Riven could be cheesed with Clusterbomb rockets for damn near 8 months.
Yesterday, playing Demon's Souls remake: right at the beginning with the red eye knight, clear all the other enemies in the area (the tower with the staircase on the opposite side) and have the red knight chase you there, then take the curve but wait around the corner, the red eye knight will stop before the corner, try to attack you directly and fall to his death. I remember doing this back in 2011 on the PS3 and glad it still works just like I remember!
Morrowind. When you get high enough in the Legion you have to fight a powerful fucker. I found a way where i could jump on something and I could hit them, but they couldn't touch me.
In the original Demon's Souls I beat the "fire demon", quotes are because I am too lazy to find out if that is what the boss is actually called or not, by using the geometry to get it so i could hit them and they couldn't really get me.
My brother and I used to cheese the shit out of fights in Original Sin 2. One of us would get stuck talking in the normal conversations before a big fight and the other one would go around setting up the battlefield why we kept the baddies in the conversation window.

I did the money glitch in RDR2 before it was patched and had more money than I could ever spend in the game.
no regrets

Horizon Zero Dawn had some extremely bad NPC pathing whenever you climbed to a higher level (or dropped to a lower level), which bought plenty of time to do damage at long range while the NPCs took weird routes trying to get to me. So anytime I would start having trouble with a harder fight I'd just start climbing up stuff, then climb down when it eventually got close, wearing it down while it kept trying to catch me.

You can cheese all of the arena battles in armored core 3 by finding the perimeter of the arena, standing in one of the corners and letting the AI ring itself out. The AI wasn't programmed to take the shape of the arena or the barriers into account, all it cares about is distance from the player and strafe shooting you all day.
I don't remember if it was due to difficulty or just wanting to wrap up the game, but I spammed the hell out of force storm once I got it in Knights of the Old Republic II. I think you could clear out entire rooms in just a few casts of it.
Demon of Hatred just wasn't fun at all in Sekiro. I did the thing where you have to parkour from one roof to like a ledge or something and then have him fall off a cliff, fuck that guy.
Pretty much any souls monster that wants to act like a bitch will get cheesed if there's a way.

Sometimes in a roguelike the RNG gods smile upon you and you end up with a super OP build. The most memorable for me was a Hades run where I had the Poseidon knockback dash with a bunch of rupture and wallsplat bonuses and extra dashes from Hermes. I was clearing rooms in seconds just dashing around.
I always "cheese" this but didn't know you could destroy the robot. Instead I like to use the hoverboard and jumps to avoid the robot and enemies both.
King Doran in Demon's Souls . Just walk out of his aggro range and as he's walking back block him and wail away..still takes a long time as he is tanky as fuck
