How to unlock the Speed Runner I achievement in Slender: The Arrival - Definitive Guide
The Eight Pages is the second level, and is basically a reimagining of the original Slender game. Your goal is to collect 8 pages that are on set pieces scattered throughout the level. The position of the set pieces does not change, though which set pieces appear where as well as which contain pages are randomized. In a nutshell, there are 9 places where a set piece may or may not appear. Of those 9 places, 8 will contain a page that must be collected. Use the map below as a guide:
The blue dots are the potential starting points. You begin the level at one of these spots. I like to use the water tower as a reference point, as it is always the only set piece that can be in that spot. It will either be a water tower, or a tree (the tree has no chance of having a page). The red dots are the places where a set piece may or may not appear, and where a page may or may not be. In order to beat the level in 5 minutes or less you need to familiarize yourself with the route you will take. I suggest walking in a circle around the edge of the map, turning to the right from whatever starting point you get. The most dangerous place on the map is the building, as it has many rooms with numerous potential page spots. If you can start with the building, all the better, but for the speed run, you will need to prioritise speed over safety.
