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.
