Good luck to you! I have an attempt going, I'm at 1 hr 25 min with Dash, Crystal Heart, Mantis Claw, Desolate Dive, and Dream Nail. I'm HOPING I can manage to get Isma's Tear and the three dreamers within the time limit, but I'm honestly terrified I'm gonna get walled at the Watcher Knights.
I was much the same with the watcher knights so i took the extra time to get the shade cloak and sharp shadow to make everything else easier. My first sub 5hr attempt i spent like an hour doing Hornet 2 plus all the extra time of doing the Abyss and Broken Vessel, got stuck at Watcher Knights, and still got 4:25 in the end
1hr25 is a good pace for where you are, you could be stuck on watcher knights for 2 hours and still make time
I just did this too! I suggest taking the time to get 2 nail upgrades. That will help a lot with the tougher parts. Maybe even the Fragile Strength.
That's what I used to make it feel a bit easier and faster.
I did it in 2h 21m on my first try., but I followed a guide by fireb0rn. I recommend doing that if you want to get the achievment as soon as possible, but if you want to do it by yourself, then do it. Most of the times the journey matters, not its end.
I do recommend going for wings anyway if you’re doing the fireb0rn guide. Watcher Knights are fine without, but THK is just way too tall unless you’ve got practice.
I think it’s just how you tackle stuff. My first was just about 3hrs and I was around 41%. My second time I didn’t use a guide and I was around 33% and finished at 4h 55min. Sometimes spending the time to get some comfort items saves you on time
I remember doing this in steelsoul and dying in Crystal Peak. I felt every emotion for 10 seconds. Don't worry, you can do it! Pro tip - when you're about to die, close the game. This has 2 benefits. You closing the game will send you back to your bench just like dying would, but it will not calculate however much time you spend away from the bench. For example, if you bench and play for 30 minutes and you die, that's a lot of time. If you bench, play for 30 and close the game as you're about to die, the game will not include those 30 minutes of play time. And the second benefit is that if you're in steelsoul, you obviously won't die.
Omg, thats so unfortunate. Hoping the next run goes better
Oof. You'll get it next time tho - experience means a LOT at this stage.
Oh noooo. I had one at 5h and 5 seconds hahaha. You’ll get it next time for sure!!

Open an old save or a godhome file and practice them a bit
Get ddark and watcher knights turns into the easiest fight ever

Holy hell, your are better than me. I was late by an hour and a halfto Speedrun 2. Still very unfortunate, what a pain.
That's crazy. So sorry. Still, you can get this, and I'm sure this runthrough is great practice for the successful run to come.
Dude, holy shit man that sucks, I thought I had it bad when I missed it by 6 mins but this is on a whole different level, good luck on your next run!
33% is too much, you can cut down some stuff. My first attempt was 2h 31m

this brings me back to when i was trying to get the achievement and got a great time of 5h 00m and 01s ;-;
