Rurik Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) A few items of advice if you want to speed up your 2nd/3rd/4th/5th/etc playthroughs, especially if you have all of the cave paintings. Feel free to tack on if you discover more: * When you start a new game, immediately hit Start -> Save & Exit, then Continue Game. You'll jump to the campfire to pick your players without listening to the Intro. * If playing for the Who Wants To Live Forever (do not die) achievement, use the Save & Exit religiously. After each notable movement in a section, Save & Exit then Continue Game. You'll pick up where you left off if you have to quit-to-dashboard quickly, instead of the beginning of the game. Additionally, if you're in a long fall and know you're going to die, Save & Exit, and you'll come back without dying. * Knight stage: If you have the Time Traveler, you can use her special power to teleport through the bars and skip the whole elevator portion of the stage. * Skip the Zoo stage: After getting the three novelty gifts to the Gift Shop at the beginning, go back and get a Hot Dog. It's easiest to just order two Hot Dogs at the same time before taking the power fuse back to the claw. Carry this Hot Dog throughout the game and you can quickly bypass the entire Zoo stage. Even with a member trapped in the liar, just lead the monster to the bridge and move onto the next level. This will take approximately one minute to retrieve the Hot Dog, but will save you from a good 10-minute level. * At the end of the Knight stage, grab extra dynamite for each person before leaving. Leave it at the exit of the Hillbilly stage (if applicable), then use it to blow up the Miner cave-ins quickly. Just run to the miner to get the shovel, then retrieve each car directly.' ** Not tested completely * You can carry the Femur from the Twins stage to the Island to drop next to the dog. That'll save you some time running up and down the hill to retrieve it. Edited February 10, 2013 by Rurik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ RJester Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Very good advice, I will definitely use most of those tips. Will probably avoid the dynamite one, as will carry hotdog through game with me to the zoo stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubisoft Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 You can take the fuse with you (very first level where you have to pick up the 3 trinkets) if you want to play with the Hillbilly. Then you can skip the ferris wheel and use the fuse directly with the fuse box at Xavetar's booth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Nacho Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 A few items of advice if you want to speed up your 2nd/3rd/4th/5th/etc playthroughs, especially if you have all of the cave paintings. Feel free to tack on if you discover more: * When you start a new game, immediately hit Start -> Save & Exit, then Continue Game.

After each notable movement in a section, Save & Exit then Continue Game. You'll pick up where you left off if you have to quit-to-dashboard quickly, instead of the beginning of the game.

It's easiest to just order two Hot Dogs at the same time before taking the power fuse back to the claw. Carry this Hot Dog throughout the game and you can quickly bypass the entire Zoo stage.

Leave it at the exit of the Hillbilly stage (if applicable), then use it to blow up the Miner cave-ins quickly. Just run to the miner to get the shovel, then retrieve each car directly.' ** Not tested completely -EVERYTIME I TRIED THIS, THEY PURPOSELY DROP THE DYNAMITE DURING THE FALL TO THE MINER. FROM THE KNIGHT STAGE, YOU CAN ONLY BRING TWO STICKS ANYWAY AS THE KNIGHT REFUSES TO DROP THE SWORD; I ALSO LEFT DYNAMITE AT THE GIFT SHOP BEFORE ENTERING THE CAVE - SAME RESULT. THEY DROP IT. * You can carry the Femur from the Twins stage to the Island to drop next to the dog. That'll save you some time running up and down the hill to retrieve it. -GOOD TRICK Sorry for all caps chaps, trying to make it standout. Peace.

Spiral 462 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Great tips, I have 2 more playthroughs and I'm definitely going to keep an extra hot dog from the beginning of the game to bypass the Zoo later on. Can't believe I didn't think of that before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpinelesS Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 The hunter shoots slowly so if you have the knight in your party use can use his invunerability to get a hotdog on the zoo stage as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
