Popular Post MMDE Posted January 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Just thought it would be nice if people posted their speedrun times, so people can compare and see how they are doing during their speedrunning. 00:17:06 - RAPTURE FARMS: 00:17:30 - STOCKYARDS 00:03:45 - MONSAIC LINES 00:07:35 - PARAMONIA 00:12:49 - PARAMONIAN TEMPLE 00:01:26 - PARAMONIAN NESTS 00:12:11 - SCRABANIA 00:17:38 - SCRABANIAN TEMPLE 00:01:39 - SCRABANIAN NESTS 00:03:03 - FREE-FIRE ZONE 00:15:00 - ZULAG 1 00:08:53 - ZULAG 2 00:08:43 - ZULAG 3 00:09:06 - ZULAG 4 00:02:06 - BOARDROOM 02:18:30 - Total Time I would also like to recommend everyone to adjust the settings so you jump forward when you press the jumping button and you don't run by default, because this makes the game so much easier and will save you a lot of headache. You can have 3 saves at the same time (just exit backwards enough to pick save), bad ending with 99 killed, hard 299, easy speedrun 299. The way I played this game, unlike what some guides seems to recommend, is I started with the bad ending and killed 99 Mudokon slaves, because this gave me a soft start. I had already played the game, but for someone who hasn't this is a nice way to get a soft start and have a chance to play the game without a guide etc, which matters in this game as it has a lot of puzzles and secrets etc you want to solve, which is kinda ruined if you are just given the solution. It may also give you alternative tactics etc, which may help you when you speedrun. Afterwards I went for the hard playthrough at the same time as the speedrun. I would first watch a youtube video, the one found below (which you can watch on your PS4 as you play), of the upcoming sections to make sure I didn't miss to free any Mudokon slaves and so I could learn alternative tactics to beat the chapter. I used the hard playthrough of the chapter as a practice run to test various tactics to do it faster than the video and get familiar with the chapter. Afterwards I would speedrun the chapter on easy with the level layout and puzzles fresh in mind. If I did some bigger mistakes early in the run, I would pause, then select load and select restart chapter to try the chapter again. Most of my times could have been a lot better, even the FREE-FIRE ZONE, which I think is ranked as 3rd best on the leaderboards, because I did mess up several things and some stuff didn't react etc. I think it is possible to do the game in about 2 hours blank, and I had over 40 minutes left, but I got consistently decent to great times, but this just means you don't need to do super well on each part. If you have a very hard time with any section, even if you follow the below youtube video, you're probably not doing it right. I know for a fact the youtube video did several things way harder than it needs to, and often you can do it way faster. The speedrun of the game really isn't very hard with the quick save and quick load feature. Be aware that using the quick load feature will not set back your timer to when you made the quick save, it will just continue. So you can't abuse quick save / load to get great times, but rather so you don't get set back too much when you mess something up. It is made even easier by the fact that you can use level select to redo chapters etc, just make sure to save everyone if you do so, and the trophy only pops after you finish the final level. For me the platinum was like 2-3/10, but I totally get it if this is like a 6/10 for someone. It should be very doable for most gamers though, you really don't need to be an elite platformer gamer or whatever to do this.

Sikatiiker Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) I finished the story and now I'll have to reduce my overall time for 36 minutes I'd be happy to see more people sharing their times. I'm gonna share my times when I've bettered a little bit. Edit: 00:20:16 - RAPTURE FARMS: 00:16:57 - STOCKYARDS 00:03:36 - MONSAIC LINES 00:11:25 - PARAMONIA 00:16:23 - PARAMONIAN TEMPLE 00:02:28 - PARAMONIAN NESTS 00:14:13 - SCRABANIA 00:24:26 - SCRABANIAN TEMPLE 00:03:10 - SCRABANIAN NESTS 00:04:28 - FREE-FIRE ZONE 00:24:01 - ZULAG 1 00:11:20 - ZULAG 2 00:13:38 - ZULAG 3 00:09:30 - ZULAG 4 00:02:13 - BOARDROOM 02:58:04 - Total Time It's not enough. People who had problems with the trophy popping recommended completing Zulag 4 again, didn't work for me. I still have a few pretty bad times and apparently I have to do better on all the levels. Edit: Popped to me as I improved Scrabania. I also noticed that overall time doesn't always update on the in-game leaderboards once you improve a level time.

VERY IMPORTANT!! 00:02:28 - PARAMONIAN NESTS 00:03:10 - SCRABANIAN NESTS 00:04:28 - FREE-FIRE ZONE I'd definitely try to do those a minute or so better. Should be pretty easy. I'd do it in that order. If you still need more time, you may want to try to improve: 00:29:56 - SCRABANIA I got 12:11 on this one, so you got like almost 18 minutes improvement that can be done on that level!! Okay? =) I can't stress it enough, when you replay the levels, make sure you save them all!! Edited March 10, 2016 by MMDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han_the_Dragon Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) I did this plat recently and had a similar problem, my total time was 2 hours and 58 minutes (according to the save file time) when I did the last section (I didn't needed to replay any section for this time and the trophy didn't unlocked). After that I replayed the Scarabian nest section, since it was 1 of the shortest ones and the trophy unlocked when I completed it.. also when I completed it I lowered my previous time for this section from 2 minutes and 50 to something under 2 minutes and 10, but the save file total time still read 2 hours and 58 minutes, so I'm unsure what triggered it.. My suggestion is to replay a short levels and see what happens, if it doesn't unlock, try to beat the record on a short level (preferably that doesn't have mudokons to save..) And all that assumes that you saved everyone on your fastest runs obviously.. Edit: And yes, I'm contradicting MMDE on when the trophy unlocks.. but that's how it worked for me.. probably when the game was released you needed to do the last section to get the trophy and they changed it with some patch (I got the plat just a few days ago). And I did it on PS4.. Edited March 10, 2016 by Han_the_Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrabania was the one I tried again today and the trophy popped right away. I'm not sure if it depended on completing one certain level or a proper improvement to update the timer or something.

At least my time stamps were useful in figuring out where you could save a lot of time!

And I did it on PS4.. It may be they have changed this with a patch? I heard everywhere when I did this thread that you could only unlock it on the last level. I didn't ever really get a chance to test it, because I got it as I finished the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard everywhere when I did this thread that you could only unlock it on the last level. I didn't ever really get a chance to test it, because I got it as I finished the game. I was forced to test it because of what I said earlier (kind of panicked for a bit when I realized that I had done it in under 3 hours and didn't got the trophy after the credits.. then decided to try an easy stage to shave a few seconds and it unlock after I finish it for the first time.. was kind of surprised, since everywhere said that we always needed to replay the last stage).. But then this wasn't the first time I run into something that didn't worked like the early FAQs said.. on ZULAG 3 (or 4) there's 2 moving mines that we are supposed to explode with a Slog to then save 7 Mudokins and all vids show both mines exploding with the Slog suicide, but with the patch they add a bug in there and only 1 mine explodes, no way around it.. making it annoying and also taking the double of the time to save the Mudokins (we need to send them in 2 groups with some timing to avoid the remaining mine).. This was mainly problematic during the 299 Mudokins hard run, since it was the first time that I tried to save them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saionji Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I did it in 2 hours 44 minutes but I took my time in later levels as its kinda annoying to replay levels if you die too much and my trophy didnt unlocked, same with Bad ending trophy. I played offline but then I signed into PSN replayed last level and with in both cases trophies unlocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a bad idea actually! That's what I did. Just make sure you rescue them all on both playthroughs, the hard playthrough and the easy speedrun playthrough. Most of what the difficulty does is just make it so not everything necessarily kills you instantly. Can't remember what more it does, maybe remove a hinder or two, but I can't remember, just saves you some hassle for when you just wanna get through it fast.

I have a question: Let's say I do a speedrun and I get a time of 3 hours 10 minutes. Can I go back with chapter select and replay individual levels like the Paramite temple for example, get a faster time and that will update my speedrun time to let's say 2 hours 55 minutes, would that count and pop the trophy?

Yes, you can re-run levels, but remember to free everyone when you do so. It won't say if you have done it again or not, it will just say you've done it if you've already done it, so make damn sure you don't miss any when you re-run, else it might cause you some serious headache. It shouldn't be hard to get less than 3 hours though, I got around 2 hours and 18 mins, and I didn't replay any levels. I think I restarted a level like 3-4 times or something when I screwed up big time. Edited February 14, 2017 by MMDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very first level is actually pretty comprehensive. All those mudokuns to save! Some of my Zulag times were not that great, but honestly they should all be rather okay times. I think you need to do 3 mins worse than me on every single level to actually not make it in under 3 hours. I think one of my nest times were garbage too, but we're just talking seconds there, so I didn't care redo. ;p The temple levels, those are totally worth just having done the levels on hard first, because they are rather long and more of a maze or whatever. I know I had to restart one of those at least once. Edited February 15, 2017 by MMDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AARCT1C Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) Here are the times I achieved for my speedrun: 00:17:39 - RUPTUREFARMS 00:18:10 - STOCKYARDS 00:03:57 - MONSIAC LINES 00:07:47 - PARAMONIA 00:18:16 - PARAMONIAN TEMPLE 00:01:36 - PARAMONIAN NESTS 00:15:44 - SCRABANIA 00:22:28 - SCRABANIAN TEMPLE 00:02:12 - SCRABANIAN NESTS 00:04:27 - FIRE-FREE ZONE 00:21:53 - ZULAG 1 00:09:55 - ZULAG 2 00:14:17 - ZULAG 3 00:11:00 - ZULAG 4 00:02:59 - THE BOARDROOM 02:52:20 - My complete speedrun time I didn't do very well in both temples and my ZULAG times could have been faster. I made huge errors towards the ends of those levels but I figured my strong times at the start of my speedrun would get me through.

Pendaemonium Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) I may be late compared to others but i thought i share my Times too ? Rapture Farms - 00:16:44 Stockyards - 00:20:57 Monsaic Lines - 00:04:56 Paramonia - 00:03:23 Paramonian Temple - 00:15:41 Paramonian Nests - 00:01:44 Scrabania - 00:14:28 Scrabanian Temple - 00:19:56 Scrabanian Nests - 00:02:44 Free-Fire Zone - 00:07:15 Zulag 1 - 00:21:14 Zulag 2 - 00:13:05 Zulag 3 - 00:15:44 Zulag 4 - 00:12:51 Boardroom - NONE (for some reason i didn't had to do that one and it never showed a time the plat popped after zulag 4 ??♂️ i take it lol but it probably took like 5 minutes) My Total Time = 2 Hours 55 Minutes I'm not the best at this Game and it actually got kind of frustrating when i started back in 2014. Back then i didn't remember anything from the PS1 and i just stopped at some point. Then continued in 2016, i beat it and i did everything except the Speedrun Trophy. Took another break and now i Finished it 3 Years later ? It wasn't that hard. The fact that you can Quick Save and Quick Load makes it more accessible. Also for the Speedrun Trophy i recommend smashing X while running because jumping while doing so is actually faster than just normal running. Also, if you go to the Pause Menu the Time won't continue in the Background. I'm saying this because Trophies related to Speedruning aren't the most "Fun" for me so i used this to my personal advantage and always took a small break in these Levels. Also great for checking the Guide. For the Guide i choosed PS4Trophies from youtube. He has a nice Voice imo and explained everything in all Levels very well it.

StewartBros Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) I'm doing the speed run just now, and my times so far have been pretty terrible, haha. I'm just at the start of Scrabanian Temple, and I'm already 2 hours in! I'll be lucky to finish this run in under 4 hours! I'm gonna have a LOT of replaying to do once I beat the game....

alexandra-jane09 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 You don't have to do this in one hit, it can be done in chapter select and shaving off your times within the chapters, also best on Easy difficulty so the animals don't kill you so much.
