Rare Replay

The snapshots provide 'bite-sized' challenge in a pre-defined scenario in the game, accessible via the snapshots section of the Rare Replay interface. You cannot use the rewind feature when attempting these.

There are five snapshots to complete, which are as follows:

1. Unguided Tour
Visit at least six of Knight Lore Castle's rooms within 90 seconds.

You have 90 seconds to visit six different rooms of the castle (excluding the starting room). The easiest route here is to enter and exit the rooms to the top-right, top-left and bottom-left of your starting locations, the progress through the bottom-right room and follow this for two further rooms, jumping over the wall that you'll encounter. This meets the six room requirement, so now just let the time run through to 90 seconds, exploring further rooms if desired.

2. Knight Riding
Find a way to reach the bottom door before the werewolf's curse fades!

Here, you have a little under a minute to reach the lower exit to the room. Jump to the platforms to the lower-right of your starting point, then from here onto the floating block. You now need to guide this towards the exit door, which you can do by moving to the edge of the block in the direction that you want it to move. As you approach the exit platform, you'll need to jump to reach it.

3. Diamond Geezer
Prove you're a real treasure hunter by grabbing all three diamonds in 60 seconds.

This snapshot requires you to collect three diamonds as fast as possible, though there's no time limit. In your starting room, climb the blocks to the upper-left to reach the first crystal, then progress through the upper-right door to find the next crystal - you'll need to drop and jump on your first crystal in order to reach the required height to collect this (don't forget to return and collect the first crystal again!). Finally, go through the lower-right door to find the third crystal, but immediately exit and then re-enter this room. The crystal should drop from its starting platform, allowing you to collect it without any platforming required.

4. Chalice Challenge
Find a way to reach the chalice and drop it into the cauldron… in 300 seconds or less!

A chalice is located high up in your starting room, which you need to collect and then take to the cauldron, located two rooms to your lower-left. Reaching the chalice can be a little tricky, requiring precise jumps with the use of the boot item that you start the snapshot with to provide a height boost from which to jump between the columns in the starting room.

5. Cowards' Way Out
Make it through the spike-filled room… or chicken out and find another route.

There are two ways to complete this snapshot - one quick but requiring some very precise jumps, the other lengthy but more forgiving (though with more hazards overall). The quick method requires some very precise jumping over the spikes that little your starting room, landing in the single tile between them. This may seem impossible, but with practice it's certainly do-able. Alternatively, leave your starting room through the lower-left exit and proceed clockwise - you'll eventually reach the same point as you would by jumping the first room's spikes.

The guide below can assist you with the best methods to completing this.
