Time attack... Problem

[AdruA]

So, i've encountered something rather problematic during my hard playthrough (which is ng+) 

 

First of all, until 5 minutes ago, I did not know u could actually start the TA even if the statues aren't destroyed (I figured I would have needed to beat them before I could TA them, yeah, blame is on me for not trying)

So, what I did was basically playing my  playthrough, and after killing a colossus, I'd immediately do the TA right after, since I found that the easiest way, so I played like that until the 15th colossus, TA 15th, kill 16th, finish the game & hit 'continue' figuring I'd get back at the shrine & TA the 16th & get the Queen Sword

 

That... Didn't work, as soon as I was back at the shrine, I still kept all my rewards, but all the statues were back up, basically 'continue' means 'start anew', all my TA times were reset back to 0

Now, I do not know if I'd unlock the sword if I would beat the 16th, but I figure I wouldnt since all my other scores were reset

 

Therefore I can only say: DONT FINISH THE GAME BEFORE TA'ING ALL OF THEM

 

I was lucky myself, managed to retrieve my previous 'automatic savefile' with 14 defeated, 14 TA, so all I have to do is the last 2, thanks ps+ ?

Hi, I'm not sure how ng+ works for this game. So after you defeat the last colossos and click continue, does it start a new game+ automatically in the same difficulty and keep all your upgrades?

@Maayz17 Yes, sort of

If you hit 'continue' u end up just the same as 'ng+', u keep ur upgrades, but ur TA scores are reset

Therefore I didnt have the Queens sword since I didnt beat the 16th on HTA

Got it @AdruA_, thanks.

Just had almost the same exact issue. Thank you for reminding me of PS+ online storage as it had a save file from right before the 16th that I could revert to. Thanks for your post!
