KaKrackle Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 never have I despised a game so much. I have every trophy other than this. I'm sure the game is intentionally fucking with me! I have been trying for days now, practicing and practicing the same damn levels....but still nothing. The worst offenders are XOXO and salt shaker. I just can't seem to get a grasp on them. If I could get these down I think I can do it. Any advice on making them easier would be a massive help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShayShay1993 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Have you tried watching videos of speedrunners? Sometimes they use manuevers that you might not have thought of otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKrackle Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 I have watched all that I can find. They motivate me but don't really teach me anything I don't already know. I'm seriously considering giving up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plataclysm Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 try doing those levels first and once you get a good run where you clear both with no death, go knock out the rest. you'll get it eventually. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKrackle Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 Eventually isn't good enough....I'm impatient. I want it now. Hahaha. It will be my greatest achievement. If some of the levels were more consistent I would have done this already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deceptrox Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Practice and persistence will get you to the goal, just be patient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jayembe Posted May 25, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2016 Just keep putting the levels you have most difficulty with at the start of your speedrun. Its all about training your brain and fingers to memorise exactly what to do and you get a feel for it. Also that way you are practising your more diffult levels more. I found myself changing the order a bit because id lose the feel for a hard level i hadnt practised as much. Xoxo - presumably its the top bit giving you trouble. Just walk along and jump after each blade, its all about getting the rhythm right, each jump is equal distance apart. Salt shaker - this level is all about feel and muscle memory, i cant offer much advice because this level is probably the hardest until you master it. Also make sure you have the easiest 8 or 9 levels completely mastered, theres nothing worse than doing the hard work and having doubts going into the final stretch. Good luck 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If some of the levels were more consistent I would have done this already. You're impatient so my advice is going to be hard to take. Practice the shit out of the levels for the better part of a day then take a break. A week if you can. Then come back to it. Sometimes the best you can do is take a break and let the muscle memory sink in and anxiety wear off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucasDiasC Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) I've made speedruns of all worlds, maybe that can help you https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCsX52vWlQRpOAAgLnVCkrg And of course, start with the levels you have more problems with Platinum Club awaits you, good luck!

Blitz Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I also had problems with top of XOXO and was always playing it among first levels in my runs, but when I mastered top part I was always putting it in middle of my run because it became very easy. When I divided top into sections I got it in first try every time, I made two jumps then stopped, adjusted boy then two again, stop, then last three jumps...that way I never lost rhytham between jumps, which can screw you at last few jumps. Hope that helps. As for salt shaker, as everyone said, it's all about feel. I turned up SMB now just to see what lvls you refer to, and passed it out of first try after months away form plat, when you get feel for it, you'll never lose it. So just put that level first and you'll eventually get that feel GL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKrackle Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 Cheers guys. After 150+ hours it would be a shame to give in now. I have never loved/hated a game so much in my life. I wanna be a 2 percenter haha.

A1rPun Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I saw you streaming yesterday KaKrackle and your strategies were good for each level. You're at that point where you need to plan your boy run and stick with it. Hope you will do it soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKrackle Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 That was you... Haha. My one viewer. I got 17 in a row today. I could taste the platinum man, then at the last minute it was taken from me. I slipped up on bone machine of all levels. The pressure in this game hits like a truck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plataclysm Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Not sure if it's because im burnt out or not but anyone else find Rapture Dark world to be harder than the Cotton Alley levels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKrackle Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Zombie boy is a pain in the ass. Easily the second hardest iron man in my opinion. Cotton alley light Wight isn't without it moments but in my opinion, slightly overrated in terms of difficulty. Impossible boy is a total bastard of a trophy. Easily my most proudest gaming moment lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done, I don't think I'd ever go for it myself though If you are patient, you will get it. I'm sure if you tried hard enough then you could do it. I'm not that good of a gamer and I managed it. Sure it took a while and probably isn't worth all the agro...but damn it's satisfying watching the trophy pop at the end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
