Unravel Two

Definitely a lot easier than Hideaway, that one took me forever to get gold. This level I was already at 8:22 after the first run. Didn't even think it'd be that close as I had some mistakes and was just looking to register a full run. Took me a couple more tries.

Ended up nabbing it in 7:48, not too bad.

Is It an achievement bug? I did do 07:55 and didn't show me the achievement :(

I think there were issues with xbox achievements yesterday. Sit tight and see if it pops retroactively at some point.

Just managed to get it in 7:57. That barrel takes alot of practice to be able to jump on to it but once it's perfected you glide passed it alot easier than roof runner

I wanted to mention that in the minute 3:55 of the video solution above you can jump while sliding, just before falling into the green mushrooms, and save a couple of seconds.

This was absolutely brutal. Took me many tries but I was able to sneak a 7:59

Way way easier than Hideaway. This one took me about 2 hours from first play-through until sub 8:00 run. For me, correctly doing the barrel section with the 2 tables was the key to a sub 8:00.

I couldn’t get the barrel and the tables, the cave shortcut was good enough to get me 07:59 with a few minor mistakes

Yeah, cheesing the barrel section is super difficult. I'm still trying to manage a sub-8min run without cheesing the barrels because I just cannot for the life of me replicate what people are doing there. There's lots of videos of it, but no one explains how to jump so high so soon as the barrell is rolling back.

And where should the wall climb glitch be applied in this level?

I don’t understand I’m doing better than the video with no error and I can’t get a better time than 8:16... the game is broken with the timers or what?! Every level I try seems absolutely impossible even with a perfect run !!! I fucking hate those achievements, they ruin the game, Unravel 1 was perfect, this one is bad as hell!

Ok, this took me 5 tries as opposed to 50+ with Hideaway. The wall climb glitch comes in handy again here.

Of note with the timer issues people mentioned above, I'm trying to figure out EXACTLY when the timer starts and stops. I started my own timer upon the gray loading screen starting but my Record completion time of 7:59 didn't match up, as I clocked in on my own timer at 7:45. I actually think the timer may start after the gray level load screen is finished and the timer ends once the final image of the level fades immediately followed by the gray loading screen back to the hub. I will attempt to conclude more in future levels.

This video is useful for the underground cave section which can either make or break your time. In the section around 4:24 you will notice he jumps across the gap and up the piece of wood instead of going to the bottom. I tested a clean method to pull this off and the trick is jump into the small brick causing you to slide and immediately push jump when your feet just make contact with the stick.

The first section of the underground cave you need you jump up once and make sure the spirit follows you underneath to chase you. When you navigate to the next rock leave your Yarni right at the end of the rock this will cause the spirit to double back giving you enough time to push out the stick and get the yarni to the very top. Press (a) and down with the yarni that pushed the stick for a quick descent and get him up to the top of the cliff. If you have to wait for the black spirit at any point in both sections you will fail your time.
