How to unlock the An Athlete Through and Through achievement in Styx: Shards of Darkness - Definitive Guide

For this Insignia, you must complete an entire mission (all zones) within the specified time limit. Unless you are watching a walkthrough video this almost certainly will take you 2+ attempts. Your current time is always shown on the pause menu. Some suggestions:

  • Unlike the predecessor of this game, cutscenes don't add to your time.
  • Liberally use Quick Saves to save your progress.
  • Proceed as fast as you can straight to the main objective marker(s).
  • Avoid all fights if you can; they only add to your time.
  • Look for shortcuts, such as jumping off ledges to physically get to the exit faster. As long as you don't die from the fall, you have 2 health vials you can use to restore your health.
  • The maximum time is pretty lenient so don't try to go for perfect (unless of course you simply want to).

This will unlock during the mission completion screen.

If you go through it yourself without guides, save often. If you messed up somewhere and the search for the green lawless guy begins, load the last successful save.
