Erkawest Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Just beat all normal CTR maps, I can agree that Dragon Mines was the most rage inducing... Damn random carts. I didn't use the shortcut and was airbraking at the spiral Taking a break now but doing some of the NK ones tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrehunter Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Ok I really suck at Sewer Speedway besides the shortcut being ass, if you lose the sacred flame trying to dodge the stupidly big barrels or keeping the boost on this tiny track. i get the shortcut maybe 2/5 times and even when i get the shortcut two times in a row im allways behind oxide. Been stuck on this track for 4 hours and not even near of being close to beating him. And i have seen people say this track minus the shortcut is easy when oxide is on your tail the whole track even if youre perfect. Any tips?

iFraaN97 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 @Erkawest Nice job, CNK tracks are way easier, you'll be beating Oxide's times in a bunch of them before even unlocking him @andrehunter What kind of character do you use? I did it with Coco which is an Acceleration one and Oxide was never ahead of me at any moment, there shouldn't be any reason at all for you to lose your sacred fire unless you just hit one of the barrels, in that case just restart. However once you start consistently doing the same times over and over you'll guess if the barrels are coming from the left or the right, your own ghost can help you as a reference as well. The track is pretty simple once you get used to the shortcut, is there a specific part where you have trouble keeping your boosts or something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well first of all there's the shortcut where i lose pretty much all my runs, haven't found a consistent way of dealing with it have watched a ton of videos but nothing really worked for me. Then the hardest part for me to maintain the boost is the part where you have to go through 2 holes just before the finish line. I am using Coco, but probably just suck at the game.?

Maybe this will help you Basically you wanna get there without any reserves, get in the left part and jump kinda early the first ledge, with just the speed of that first jump is enough, then just hold it in a straight line until the very limit of the second ledge and jump again to make it, a lot of people say it's easier now with the last patch, idk, i've been doing it for a few weeks playing online and it works for me that way most of the times. Then once you make it to the shortcut take the turbo pad and make it down drifting, that way you'll get sacred fire again. And for the final two holes try to get there without drifting, you have two opportunities to jump: right before and as you enter each hole so you don't lose your fire, I always take the right one, and then you can chain 3 turbos to the right to make it to the ramp and finish the lap, it's pretty efficient that way. If you've been able to do the other tracks you'll beat this, just get over the shortcut and memorize and effective route to keep the sacred fire all three laps, which is not that bad at all here.

I try to triple boost but i find it very difficult to get into a beneficial way and angle to triple boost or boost in general on straight areas since it puts me at odd angles. Im literally not even close to beating the times. First level and im like 5 sec after N.Trophy. Wtf....i dont remember sucking this bad on ps1.

I've experimented with this shortcut for almost an hour and found out as long as you take the shortcut head-on and hold the jump button while holding the left stick down you will always make the jump. It doesn't matter what speed, it worked for me all 3 laps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the people here made N.Oxide seem a lot harder than what he really is and had me fearing. You don't really need to keep USF during the whole map, it's enough just taking advantage of it until you hit a corner you can't make. This goes for like every map, I had USF on Oxide Station until the first hard corner and failed all 3 laps, still beat him. I also failed the Polar Pass river shortcut once, respawned and still managed to beat Oxide. I have only played with Speed characters during time trials. I used to main Handling characters really well until I noticed I was easily overtaken by speed/acc players online and had no chance on time trials. So I had to learn playing as a speed character lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSNP is crap i left Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Finally beat all Oxide times and got the flex-master skin ?. Dragon Mines was the only real pain in the ass.

Tiny Arena and Deep Sea Driving were tricky since you can't make mistakes but you learn the track after some tries! Good luck to the rest!

andrehunter Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 After 10 hours of grinding Sewer Speedway i finally got throught that bullshit shortcut, i don't really know how to explain how i got it but i was at really high speed all 3 laps and i made sure my last boost was a perfect one instead of a good and finally beat the track. Been advancing on the list and nothing has been as bad as that garbage track, even Dragon Mines was easy as comparison, at least there's not much bullshit on that track if you fail it's because you're not good enough and you don't even need to be perfect to beat Dragon Mines. Now to complete the rest of the CTR tracks tomorrow and hopefully CNK tracks on the weekends and be done with the trials. Good luck for everyone else going for this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surgical_Assault Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Not sure if this has been asked but because cheats disable trophies and reenable once turning off could I use say the permanent boost for most of the time trials, turn them off then complete the rest normally to get the oxide time trial trophy?

It was the first one I did though lol I just went down the list but of the 2 I spent 3 days on dragon mine and 3 on oxide. I think dragon's mine maybe a bee's dick harder.

The only "cheat" you can enable is to unlock Penta. This won't stop you from earning trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part of the track that will make or break beating Oxide's time is this part. You need to keep USF at least until that turn at 1:02. Also, the turns at 0:27, try to bunnyhop past them while using the boost from the boost pad. Basically jump left and right repeatedly through the turns instead of taking the turns, that's what i did. Or you could just drive past them, your choice. EDIT: Oh right, before i forget. I used a speed character for the track, just so you know.

If you can keep USF you'll destroy Oxide's time. I used a turning character (Polar) and beat it in a few tries. It was way easier like that imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
