Marriott Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 I've tried every trick mentioned here so far and no achievement. I feel like I need to be goddamn Superman to get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JieXY Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 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. This is a good point if it works.

JieXY Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 LOL! That worked! Thank you Edit: I really hope the second speed run is easier IMO the first is harder. For the second one just familiarize yourself with how those traps work and you will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to know. Do you know a good place for a savepoint just before the speed run starts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JieXY Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 That's good to know. Do you know a good place for a savepoint just before the speed run starts? I save just before I destroy the last generator, so every time you need to restart just begin from destroying it and watch the cutscene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marriott Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 *sigh* I'm taking a break from the transformer speed run for now. My timing with the traps are way off, usually with the slamming wall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JieXY Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) 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. Edited March 11, 2009 by JieXY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evo Kazz Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 So can someone verify once and for all where both speed runs start, and where they both end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicelow Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) I finally unlocked the first speedrun achievement thanks to your tips 0/ Here is the start : http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/9549/lara1t.jpg (The slope is just 2 steps ahead) And the end : http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/9813/lara2d.jpg (From here, just jump to the right. You'll die but the achievement will unlock) Edited March 11, 2009 by Wicelow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkofdoom Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi Wicelow, Thanks for the pictures, I suspected that the start was near the slope bit but I did not realise that it had to be done on the second run through! :-) Thanks Monkster1978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evo Kazz Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Excellent, was your run flawless? also how long did it take you, I have tried this but dont hear the checkpoint ping after suicide dive to the right? I also saved after picking up the treasure at refinery entrance, towards the entrance of the room, would this matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicelow Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) 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. Edited March 11, 2009 by Wicelow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodswan Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Damn this second speed run is starting to piss me off. The third of the piston things always gets me and I have no idea what the timing for that one is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizzav Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I just got the 1st speed run completed, using the suicide technique & using Shadow Speed while jumping. I saved at the start of the falling platforms room with falling blue goo. Bring on speed run #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodswan Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 This is driving me insane. I just finished the 2nd run but no achievement. I did not pause once and it just didn't unlock That's it for one day I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizzav Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Just completed speed run #2 after a handful of goes. I saved in the room of the last transformer. 1250/1250G. Woohoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evo Kazz Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Same here, 1250/1250 just finished speedrun 2, speedrun 1 is easy, the 2nd one is a pain, as you rush like mad, but you dont need to, well you do, but take your time on the crushing wall, and platform area, there is room to take your time there, dont rush, once you relax a bit its easy.

DerEnglaender Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I finally unlocked the first speedrun achievement thanks to your tips 0/ And the end : http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/9813/lara2d.jpg (From here, just jump to the right. You'll die but the achievement will unlock) 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.

ARC Trooper Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 You can actually get the Refinery Speed Run achievement the first time though refinery, just got it with my second account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerEnglaender Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 You can actually get the Refinery Speed Run achievement the first time though refinery, just got it with my second account. but i dont think the suicide jump works first time around, so its probably still recommendable to try on the 2nd run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARC Trooper Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I used the suicide jump when I got it, the checkpoint doesn't trigger but it still gave me the achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighlanderII Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) 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 http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu139/HighlanderII/DSC00001.jpg 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 http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu139/HighlanderII/DSC00002.jpg Hope his helps anyone that is stuck on this achievement good luck Edited March 11, 2009 by HighlanderII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARC Trooper Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) I think the second speed run starts at the top of the transformer room just as you go into the passage. I've been using the checkpoint just before that on the broken bridge to do the run. Edited March 11, 2009 by ARC Trooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
