This is 5-4 done in its entirety with no checkpoint resets, no damage, and done with a no merchant inventory that you could very very easily have at this point.

Howdy, I'm Spiral_out and I do hitless runs (mainly Sekiro, Hollow Knight, and RE4) on Twitch 5 days a week starting at 10:30 AM Eastern US time.

I decided to do the entire chapter together rather than the individual parts (war zone, gunner room, key card area) separately to show how consistent it is, and this is far, far quicker than the damageless strats I usually see for the chapter. Noteworthy bits:
-the JJ doesn't always get stunned by the flash, so be prepared to shoot another magnum round at him before jumping down if he doesn't
-the first shield enemy that spawns in the 3 gunner room doesn't always get killed right away, so shoot him off the ladder with the handgun after shooting the rocket soldier to deshield him
-The first flash throw in the key card area is VERY important. Make sure not to throw it too far to the left or the axe thrower on the right won't get stunned (very bad!). If you don't stun the platform archer that's okay, shooting him in the head will usually knock him off the platform
-You need to shoot the left archer in the head with the magnum to ensure the shotgun will kill in one shot. Also, delay the shot on the top archer by a bit while you wait for the shield guy to approach. This helps him jump down earlier.
-BE SURE not to kill the taser soldier that jumps down with the archer. Sometimes you have to wait a bit to shoot the barrel to make sure he doesn't also get fall damage and die. This can cause JJ to spawn if you didn't get an archer plaga
-The shot in the air after grabbing the key card is to aggro the upstairs archer if he is up there. You don't want him to be hanging out in the corner waiting for you after you climb up the ladder.
-I get a really rare second archer spawn and almost get shot leaving the key card area. If you get him, make sure he has shot before going down the exit tunnel
