from the second to last (L-shaped) ledge before the blue fireball platform (don't even climb there) jump to the right. You will suicide "dive" into blue liquid to the right of the thralls' ledge triggering the checkpoint and thus getting achievement.

 

LOL! That worked! Thank you :woop:

 

Edit: I really hope the second speed run is easier

I also had a bad memory with those walls. My experience is that when I hear/see the walls immediately in front of me slam, press LB/RB and run forward till there are two walls slamming and blocking the way, stop for a brief moment (0.2 sec maybe) and release LB/RB just to reload the shadow meter. Right after that (those walls shall be open for now), LB/RB + run again to the end.

Thank you! That tip helped me get through those damn walls and I got the achievement :woop:

I finally unlocked the first speedrun achievement thanks to your tips 0/

 

Here is the start :

(The slope is just 2 steps ahead)

 

And the end :

(From here, just jump to the right. You'll die but the achievement will unlock)

I saved just before the slope and unlocked it only after a few failures so I don't think your save will be a problem.

(Everytime I tried, the game started just a little before the slope, on top of the small stair and a cutscene plays when you move forward.)

 

Many trys but no achievement so I do know this f****** part of the level, so it was surely flawless.

When you jump at the end, the first it didn't unlock for me.

The second time I kept the LS in the right position after the jump abnd it worked.

Don't know if it's related (maybe you jump a little further that way) but it doesn't hurt to make it to be sure ^_^

 

 

2nd speedrun still missing >_<

I think I screwed myself by going too far after the start of the speedrun and overwriting the save file...

Well, I'll play the level one more time when a video/picture solution will appear.

thesuicide jump can be done much much earlier.

after sliding down the ramp turn around and jump to the first wall, then go all the way to the right and aroudn the corner to wall 2. go up this wall, then when you get to the highest point and have to jump to the right to shimmy around a ledge that is shaped like half a hexagon, get on the right bit of it and jump backwards.

 

youll jump over the outermost corner of the ledge where the blue stuff is being shot up, just miss the final ledge with the thralls, trigger the checkpoint and acheivment unlocked.

For the people that are not sure where the second speed run starts and finishes i took some pics to help out

 

 

Save at this point if you reload it will spawn you back inside but the run doesn't start till you jump to the fallen stone

After the moving conveyor of stones were you need to jump the gaps and avoid the fire balls slide down the ramp and the achievement will unlock if you were quick enough
