Expert challenges are unlocked by completing each trail once to unlock the beginner challenges, then completing the beginner challenges.

Each of the four Eldfjall trails have two expert challenges. The first only has a time requirement and the second has a less strict time requirement and a crash requirement. The second challenge on trails 1, 3, and 4 require the use of a specific bike (Pacebreaker, Javelin, and Boar respectively).

The first challenges are made easier by the fact that you can blitz checkpoints and crash any number of times. The second challenges require a little more precision but allow for a fairly reasonable amount of crashes.

The key to these challenges is finding shortcuts on the trails allowing you to shave off as much time as possible. Here are some zero crash runs I recorded to show the paths to use:

Trail 1: The Rift
Challenge 1: Finish in 1:55 or less
Challenge 2: Finish in 2:10 or less with 14 crashes or fewer (Pacebreaker)

Trail 2: Twisting Vales
Challenge 1: Finish in 2:35 or less
Challenge 2: Finish in 2:50 or less with 14 crashes or fewer

Trail 3: Great Ocean Crest
Challenge 1: Finish in 2:15 or less

Challenge 2: Finish in 2:30 or less with 21 crashes or fewer (Javelin)

Trail 4: Scorching Descent
Challenge 1: Finish in 2:50 or less
Challenge 2: Finish in 3:05 or less with 14 crashes or fewer (Boar)

Thanks for these videos. Trial 3 I followed a very similar route to your video for sub 2.15, no major problems. However the challenge for 2.30 with the racing bike I am struggling with.

Did you take the same jump shortcuts or were some avoided because of lack of suspension?

For trail 3, Challenge 1 I used the Boar. It wasn't as tight on time, and it was able to land on the jumps as well. Good guide overall though!

@ DmCTHREE6 - Thank you for that tip about using the Boar. Definitely recommend that was well. Couldn't manage with the Trailblazer after two attempts. First try with Boar.

The javelin run was rough and I followed a similar path. It makes up for having to go slower at some points (particularly the drops) with it’s great acceleration. Definitely didn’t do the jump skip right before checkpoint 6 though. I’ll record that one next. I was trying to get zero crashes in these vids but the drops in the javelin run were too hit or miss to expect a perfect run.

I should have just recorded my initial successful runs, which were likely sloppy but good enough.

edit: No crash javelin run up. Remember to blitz straightaway checkpoints.
