Trials Rising

Gold on all extremes, no problem. Beating a ninja and getting a diamond medal, hard but very doable. Gold on loose screw might just never happen for me. I tried for hours and couldn't even get silver.

Loose screw was also my toughest gold , however once you get to the last checkpoint before gold it’s pretty much guaranteed. Also I suggest you use Helium , far more consistent for that challenge. There is a couple vids on YouTube which I also watched for some strats.

Once I got past the ramps at 90 meters, I started getting really consistent out of nowhere and I actually knocked this out pretty quickly today.

for me the 2 hardest were Hill Climb & Loose Screw.

Hill climb was only hard because I kept screwing up one jump that I usually do so easily...

for anyone having trouble with loose Screw I would recommend using the A button to control your acceleration and combine X / left trigger for braking (X for sudden stops and left trigger for correcting)
for me I was getting nowhere with the right trigger for acceleration but decided to give the A button a go and first attempt I managed to get to silver.

If your struggling with Loose Screw use the Rhino, I found it the easiest to use after hours failing with the mantis

What were they thinking with the 3..2..1... timer EVERY SINGLE ATTEMPT. I know I can get this if I try for long enough but watching the countdown makes me want to not even bother

After that fucking Trials Trophy final I'm quite looking forward to loose screw.

this game will be the death of me.. kudos to all of you

If you happen to have a Elite controller, I’d suggest using the trigger lock feature in the RT for the loose screw challenge... It makes it 10x easier! Just try it and you will see.

I agree with Cakau, still took many many tries but Helium with trigger lock on elite made a big difference

For those who gave up on this, with the latest patch they removed the 3,2,1.

Its a lot faster to retry now. :)

To be honest, the hardest for me was Hill Climb, Loose Screw wasn't too bad after a bit of practice. I used the Helium for both of these tracks, it's far easier IMO.

Loose Screw is brutal. I eventually got it done with Helium and the Elite controller trigger lock for RT.

Yeah no, Hill Climb is not doable. Been grinding it for three days, mostly with the helium, and can't reach even silver. This achievement is only a joke in order to ruin your mood. If you feel you're just feeling too happy, try this achievement. Will fix you right up and you will never unlock it.

I was struggling with Hill Climb a lot but did it yesterday with the Turtle! (The bike with the rollcage for 45 acorns i think)
The bike is not as agile or "grippy" as Mantis or Helium but a lot more forgiving as most of the typical fails can be recovered from.

^^ Turtle was an absolute godsend for the hill climb. It can barely make some of the last jumps but it can. Just finished it right now. Thanks for the suggestion!

Turtle can’t be chosen for loose screw... :’(

There's a cheeky way of doing Loose Screw by using the donkey. At the start flip it over onto its rear fender. If done right, it can stay in this position without it faulting you. You can basically then throttle without having to worry about leaning. Only annoying parts then are the drops and the 2 big ramps you need to climb. Best to go up the big ramps normally again with as much speed as possible to avoid flipping. Use the safe-zones to correct yourself if you are going to fault. Took me about 30-40 minutes to do it once I got used to it. Good luck!

The donkey worked a treat thank you so much for sharing that. It still took me well over an hour, the throttle control you need for the final two ramps is diabolical. But it was nothing compared to doing it the normal way.

I struggled with Hill Climb for quite a while and couldn't even get silver. Red Lynx just released the King Crab bike and I decided to give it a whirl for Hill Climb. I got gold within a few attempts with the King Crab bike. The mechanics are a little weird, but once you get used to them it's a lot easier to get gold. Now I just need gold on Loose Screw for this achievement...

This is the last achievement I need. Tried the donkey but that last big ramp you need to climb is impossible. Not sure how to do it normal or on it's rear fender. Any tips?

Finally did it. Found this comment on the internet and it was the golden tip:
"You’re now at 100m. This is the hardest part and may take a few attempts. With just your front wheel in the safe zone tap throttle 2 or 3 times to get some grip and than full throttle and you should make it."

Loose Screw has got to be the worst bullshit I've ever encountered in this game. I've used the Rhino (Great stability), I've used the Mantis (Flips on it's asshole too much), and the Helium, none of them worked for me! Wheelies are the bane of my "Trials" life and this mini-game, or as I should call it, a mini-JOKE, caters to the weakest area of my skills. Every time, either I find my front wheel touching the ground and exploding, or flipping backwards and getting 'dumped off' my bike!

I've given up on this. I've beaten all the Redlynx times on the "Fusion" game but weeks and weeks of attempts, and I could barely get a silver, by the very skid of my teeth. I don't give up on achievements easily, though I may get pouty and fold my arms like a 7-year old throwing a tantrum but this has stopped being fun after months of trying.

I've even used the donkey fender trick and it doesn't make a hill beans difference! I get dumped off my bike every time I free fall off the end of the ramp after 50 meters or near the 75 meter mark! Fuck this game!

FOLLOW-UP: I finally got this in February. You are right about both the Turtle and the Donkey.

On "Hill Climb" The Turtle was a pain in the ass to maneuver especially when I fell down after a bad landing or accelerated at the wrong time. More than one occasion, I fell at least 40 meters down and had to go back and forth between seated and forward positions in order to manipulate the Turtle to get back on it's main wheels and go forward. After a good 20 minutes stuck in places and managing to get out, I finally got a gold on this. The large round shape of the Turtle made sure there were far fewer risks of falling through most gaps.

As for the Donkey on "Loose Screw" the fender trick really does work a lot. The parts I had a very hard time with were when I went off the edge of ramps or platforms and not getting 'dumped off' especially when going past 100 meters. The other was getting past the ramps towards the end and making sure not to flip over before reaching 150 meters. This was still an aggravating pain to do.

Loose screw donkey trick worked a treat, still took about an hour to finish. At one stage I felt like snapping my pinky fingers off.

If you’re reading this then good luck with loose screw is all I can say.

Anyone have any tips for if you’ve got all the golds but it didn’t unlock? 🙃

It's not unlocking for me either...

Unlocked - I went back and got platinum on a different skill game. Seems that it needs a kick up the arse.
