How to unlock the TL;DR: Gardens achievement in Maquette - Definitive Guide

Complete the Gardens level in under 3 minutes. Super easy. Hold cn_B to skip the first cutscene then follow the path, typically leading to the left, until you reach a red door. Hit the lever on wall next to the door with cn_X continue forward/natural path for a while, once you reach the 2nd set of red doors go along the right and pickup the golden key on the fountain with cn_X walk back over to the doors then hit cn_B to hold the key, if it doesn't automatically unlock the door walk into the door a little bit. (When you hold things with cn_B you move slower, so only use B when you're next to it) Once it's open use cn_X again on the key to remove it and use it a 2nd time on the final doors. When those open follow the path forward, once you hit the cutscene hold cn_B again to skip it. The Achievement title seems to be a play on not reading any of the glowing words on our way through the level.

Just a note - you HAVE to skip cutscenes. They count for time.

The guides here are good and helped me. I have a solid note though: as I had played this level under three minutes like four repeated times without popping the achieve until I really took the hold-B note to heart. I finally popped this achieve after inserting the final key and I held B until the final scene started, then I let go of B and pressed it again to make it register, and then I popped this. (I don't think the machine knows you're holding B until you first press it, because the final scene was not going faster until I let up on it and pressed again.) So, you kind of have to use B effectively to gain its merit in this achieve. Good luck!

In order to get this Achievement, you need to skip the opening cutscene by holding down cn_B.

The Timer starts as soon as the cutscene begins, you have to skip all cutscenes because the timer still runs during them.

You can play through the level little by little and make manual saves as you progress and reload them if you weren't quick enough in a section.

Here's my quick 35-minute Achievement Walkthrough with Commentary.

I show The Gardens level starting at 1:05 minutes into the video.

Make sure you ALWAYS manually save when start a level and utilize all 3 slots. Autosave overwrites itself on the beginning of next level so if you don't pop the speedrun trophy, load your previous manual save. You can hold the circle to skip cutscenes, jumping doesn't increase your speed, some animations are not skippable (for example: door animation). Majority of levels are fairly easy when you learn the best path.

Just wondering if anyone else is having troubles with getting this to unlock? I beat it in 2:47 recorded it too and the trophy won't unlock. Kind of unfortunate since it's the only one I'm missing.

'The Gardens' functions as the game's prologue and is a very straightforward level, with a seemingly strict speedrun time. The trick the game fails to mention is to skip the initial cutscene by holding button-b.png, something you'll need to do for each of the speedrun achievements in order to beat their times.

A very fast speedrun, because there are no riddles, we just run along the road to the end, at the end we quickly take the key: insert , then take it out again and insert it through the next door and run to the cutscene. The trophy is yours!
