Platinum time trail relics

[Anasthesaint]

Hello everyone,, 

I'm having trouble with the platinum times.. No wonder.. Any advices would be appreciated.. 

And what is (are) the level (s) that i must be worried about the most.? 

Thanks 

[HusKy]

No easy tricks here. I would recommend this.

 

For each level:

1. Check platinum relic video
2. Use slide spin (faster) or triple spin (slower)
3. Practice, practice and practice

And in terms of consoles -- frame rate affects difficulty a little bit: base PS4 is hardest to play on, then PS4 Pro and PS5 is easiest IMO.

[Anasthesaint]

Thank you for the reply husky, 

I will follow ur instructions and thanks God i have a ps5,  it may be a little bit easier, like you said. 

I know that I need to be better at Slide spin but it already burns my fingers. ?

[Anasthesaint]

Just want to say.. Toxic tunnels is a pain.! I just want to be done with the game because my fingers hurt ?. 

Im not bad at platforming but this is hard. The last two dimensions are really hard, not to say that the others aren't. Almost every stage is brutal.. 

[Maahniac]

I feel your pain! I went through that hell a couple of months ago! ? My biggest advice is to just keep going, don't give up. I actually stuck with the Triple Spin in all my runs, because I just couldn't get that crazy slide spin-thing to work. So I can confirm that it *is* possible to do it, by only using the slower Triple Spin.

Edit: D'oh, I just gave advice for Nitro Processing! I always confuse the two. I don't have any solid advice for Toxic Tunnels Other than the fact that I remember saving a lot of time towards the end, with those "swinging platforms", where I skipped a couple of them, and I think that was what made the difference in the end.

Thanks for the advice, i will try what you mentioned.. 

I manage normally slide spin then triple spin. Although i prefer triple spin. It is only when you are under pressure with all the moves that you have, your brain can't handle it and you push the wrong one. Double jump, triple spin, slide spin, double jump spin, long jump and long double jump and so on ?. 

I have tho (only) 4 to go so i hope it doesn't take another week! ?

[Maahniac]

Exactly, haha. It's so stressful. Besides Toxic Tunnels, which ones do you still need?

[Anasthesaint]

Cortex castle, seeing double and jetboard jetty ?. 

I don't know how hard they can be, but sometimes one can be lucky ? ?

[Maahniac]

Those 4 are some tough ones, especially Jetboard Jetty! I really hated that one.

I would recommend that after a full first initial playthrough having fun with it, you do everything in 1 level before moving on. Rather than doing all nverted, then all relics, then all no deaths. That way you can perfect a level much better as it's fresh in your memory. The platinum relics I found the hardest were Rock Blocked (not a hard level, but an excruciatingly unfair time time requirement), Nitro Processing and Seeing Double. The hardest perfect relic for me at least was Crash Landed. 

[Anasthesaint]

True, i tried it one time and o was way off so i left it. Maybe i am more skilled now and could finish it. 

It is funny how you didn't encourage me with this 4 levels ? because I know as u do that they are tough.

Nonetheless all the others were also tough too.

I thought doing the same thing at first, but one push the suffering of doing the same stage over and over again when one needs practice and loses the feel of progressing 

I do agree with rock blocked,, it was hard,, took me forever.. 

And totally agree with crash landed and i must add toxic tunnels for the perfect relic.

Sorry, I didn't mean that! ? of course you can do it! You have several of the hardest levels behind you. Rock Blocked, Nitro Processing and Crash Landed are harder than Cortex Castle and Seeing Double, for example, so you have a lot of the worst stuff behind you - in my opinion. Toxic Tunnels and Jetboard Jetty are cruel, there's no way around it, but you'll get there if you keep going, I'm sure of it

It's ok,, i knew from the start that it will be a suffering. But I didn't think that they will be so hard. 

And thank you for reminding me that i finished the harder ones (i hope ?) like rock blocked and nitro possessing (to be fair, all the others (because almost every one is hard)) 

So yes, i will do it, thanks a lot. 

[Anasthesaint]

Wow, just didn't... Took me about 140 hours... Wow.. It was hard. I have now a decent platinum (wonder why it isn't an ultra rare one). 

Funny enough,, cortex castle imo was really easy, the time was so forgiving.. Seeing double was harder but not by much.. My last one was jetboard jetty, i was so worried but it took me about one hour... 

Now i can rest my fingers and my controller.. They deserve a break ??. 

Thanks for all advices.. ?

Hi! I just started yesterday the first platinum trials but after an hour I still didn’t get it (I did 54.47 instead of 53.97).

 

Is it normal? Maybe I’ll have to learn the dynamics and then I could go across the level easier? Or the first level should be earned faster than I’m doing?

[Mr_Bandicoot93]

Yeah it’s normal. The first level is one of the hardest because of the strict time ( level itself of course is very easy ) . I needed 3 hours in my first platinum time. At the end of the level you can jump on one of the moving platforms above you. Little complicate to explain but even without it’s possible.

Thanks man! That cheered me up and gives me hope! Tomorrow I’ll play again and let’s see.

 

I’m using the “””method””” of with each level I’ll go with the N.Sane Relics and right after the Platinum trials

If you have anytime big problems you can send me anytime a private message. I did 106% many times and helping others with the game from time to time. Good Luck ?

Hey man, in the end I got the platinum trophy  thanks

[RachelCharlotte]

Is there a tutorial on all those sneaky moves? I see people dash across pits and feel like I'm stuck without learning these tricks, the triple spin and the shortest route alone apparently aren't enough for some of these levels.
