Quickest method to boost the figurines

[DavySuicide]

Hey guys, just wanted to share a method with you I used to get the figurines as quick as possible. 

Considering you play a run legit starting on difficulty level 5 you need between 25-30 minutes ( sometimes even longer due to bad enemy positions ) it will take many hours to get the final collectible. 

However, there is a small trick / exploit you can use to cut down the time of a run to sub 20 minutes. My three player squad managed to get some runs done in under 15 minutes with a bit of luck. So here is what you need to do to save as much time as possible:

 

I recommend to play at least with one or two friends, but of course you can also do this solo. 

 

1) Start a new run with the difficulty set to 5.

2) Build up your multiplier as quick as possible of course until you unlock the first boss. ( Try to open some chests to maybe get a continue token! If you play with friend(s) one can do the kills and keep the multiplier high, the other(s) can roam around and open chests to be on the lookout for a token. 

3) Enter the boss arena and whoever you get, kill him asap, open the chest, but after the boss is done and opening the reward chest, don't enter the portal! Instead use the environment to wipe! The only boss where this is not possible is the CEO, since you can't drop to death or get burned by fire.By using this method you can use your continue token, the boss you killed counts towards your collectible run and you get back to the overworld and can build up your next combo for the second boss. Usually the time after each boss doubles before the next boss room unlocks since you need way more points but thx to this method it stays on the same level as your previous run. I am not entirely sure how high the amount of points is you need for each boss but i would guess it doubles from run to run. 

 

By using this method you will realize that you can save a lot of hours. You need to be a bit lucky to not get the CEO too early and of course it helps to get another continue token. The more tokens the more areas you can skip and minimize the overall xp you need to unlock the next boss arena. 

 

Unfortunately we realized this trick too late so i was just able to save around 4 hours but if you start this game the overall time for the platinum can be reduced drastically ( i would guess around 10 or even more hours )

 

Using this method does not help with the misc trophies like fireball, pluggernaut ofc, since you need to meet certain conditions for this but once you have all the other trophies out of the way ( which usually is the case after 15-20 runs ) you can use this method to optimize your end grind. 

 

 

Maybe this helps some of you, cheers Davy

Thanks a lot for this, works like a charm! So far my fastest solo boss run is 21 mins.

 

Started on diff.5
1st boss+token from his chest, suicide - level repeat,
2nd boss, suicide - level repeat,
3rd boss (CEO so I couldn't kill myself here) - next level,
Diff. 6
4th boss - finito.

:]

Thanks again!

Edit: Even if you are out of continue tokens, you shall have enough money to bribe Tombot and get one more :].

glad i could help, man :-) my first 30ish runs took me almost double the time until i kinda figured this method out so wasted quite some hours but it's fine. Liked the game tbh it just lags on content in the end. 

 

Cheers, Davy!

Finally I got the 100% in this game.

With the Boss Rush Mode you can boost the puppets really fast. After the 4 bosses you need to press continue, then you get a puppet.
Our record was 2:40 Min for one puppet. Average is like 5 Min and 2 min loadingscreen.
