Unravel Two

Can you push pause button and pause the time?

Does anyone think maybe they'll release a patch for the speed runs nintendo switch version the hideaway is 14 minutes whereas xbox is complete it in 13 😱

Pausing the game doesn't stop time from accumulating. I feel like I saw someone say in another solution or in a forum thread that if you open the xbox guide, it stops time, but I never tested so I can't confirm.

I don't see them lowering the times on a game that's almost two years old and honestly, not that difficult with some practice.

Finally !!! I had a exact time of 13:00 !!! I felt that I obtained not mistakes in the run but at least I had my achievement. I tried a lot times !! It's the only form.! Good Luck!

After a while i startend trying again today. After 6 tries i gave up again. There is really no room for error. Even a few second slip up and you will not make it. I got 13:10 but that is the best i can get stil. This one is really a pain in the ass.

Thanks for the tips I thought I was never going to get this. I made several errors including a complete mess up of the final section with the air pipes trying to set them up properly. But still I completed in 12:56 to my amazement.
My advice to anyone struggling would be to keep going even after a few slip ups, don't always be tempted with restarting the level after your first mistake. You can still make the time if you do other sections well. Good luck.

Sweet time do video and text guide , I'll use this once beat levels , cheers

Just gotta work layouts out first but see u can make error or two ,

Finally got it. Shaved off a few seconds with a skip I found elsewhere. You can just drop down the pipe where the first electricity is and make it to the right. Timing is tight but doable. Good luck

The skip for the first electric section is fantastic and reliably achievable. This chapter is still driving me nuts though, 13:00 is such a tight time for a game with loosey-goosey game play.

if you guys dont mind using skips/glitches i highly recommend using the skateboard launch

you dont have to get a super high launch like in the speedrun, if you are able to skip 50% of the playground you should be good.
and i found it a bit easier to play all the other levels first and come back to this one later.

How does that skateboarding are glitch work? Are you just placing one yarn on top and one underneath and then trying to bring them together using LT?

After attempting the glitch for about 45 minutes, I couldn't get it to a point that it was easily replicable. Results varied in that sometimes I couldn't launch at all, other times it launches you in the wrong direction, and if it does launch you it doesn't launch you very far. There were a few occasions where it worked but it seemed too random and sporadic to be viable. I wouldn't suggest anyone really banks on using the skate board jump to make the rub unless you've prayed to RNGesus

I found the "wallclimb" glitch. https://youtu.be/pNY-KGmGJCE i get 13:24 with it. I don't know why only 13:24 maybe the starting loading screen is too long on Xbox One (S)

First Try Xbox Series X 12:48 with wall climb glitch.

Wow, this was an extremely tight run at 12:53. I made a single 4 second error. I primarily followed the above video, but it wasn't enough with my Xbox One S and the dang load time. Restarting the level after loading did not appear to work either. I used the wall climb glitch as posted above by Sambaweb. I used it in most places there was a vertical wall, probably around a dozen times. Would not have got the gold time without it. I practiced the jump over 40 minutes straight before actually attempting a real run. Transcribed below for Xbox controls:

A neat way to bypass certain puzzles by using this simple technique. Just jump against a wall while fused and holding the LT. Then as you stick to the wall press Up on the Analog stick then press Y followed by the A. Then keep alternating them while holding up to keep climbing.

I just spent the last 12 or so hours practicing and attempting this. I kept getting stuck around 13:20-13:45 but when I read the comments here and started trying the wall climb method, that was the difference maker. I was able to squeeze out 12:54 by climbing at a couple parts. Phew. That was absolutely brutal

After messing with the skateboard glitch for a while this method seems to be the most consistent. Ended up getting a 8:32 on this run lol https://clips.twitch.tv/HedonisticViscousDotterelMingLee-tAU...

I tried the skateboard glitch but I wasn't hitting it consistently so I went to grinding out the level normally. My best time was 13:49. I was doing a run and my first big mistake was at the skateboard ramp so I said screw it, let me try the glitch on this run. Skateboard catapulted me to the pulley part, saving about 2:15 seconds. I finished the level with 11:56. Achievement unlocked! Holy heck that was difficult!

Struggling to get the shadow cutscene timing. Keep having a death there - leaves me at a best time of 13:45

Tried the skateboard glitch to see what it’s about - can get the one yarny on top of the other on the board like in the clip shared by oH Price but as soon as I start to climb back up, the top yarny just slides off (I’m holding LT)

I recorded a clip of the top shared by BenL72 for skipping the first electric area. I found you needed to pause slightly before pushing right after dropping. The clip includes a fail then success attempt.

Skate glitch is amusing. Everytime I have actually be able to fling myself far. I literally fling myself out of the map.

Hey, guys. I'm thinking about playing this game this year (it's been on my backlog for a while) Would you say that playing this co-op makes those speedruns easier or not very much?

@princit In my opinion is it much easier to do solo, but if your partner is as good as you and you both know exactly what to do it may be easier in co-op.

I just can’t get the skateboard glitch to work. I’m down to 15:32 😞

Just started the game today, took about 10 attempts using this video, final time of 12:49. Not as bad as I thought it would be based on the ratio & comments lol

If this is the hardest, I'm glad it's out of the way already haha thanks Sully.

Honestly it doesn’t feel remotely worthwhile to go for this achievement legit. I like the goal of the achievement, and I like that it is hard, but honestly the time limit on this one borders on bullshit for a game where there really is not much movement tech (or general tech) to speak of and has unskippable cutscenes that inpede on your ability to run the level as many times as you want (seriously, fuck this level for forcing you to wait a minute before you can try again). The abundance of 12:5X times on here (with the 12:39 being the quickest glitchless one here) says it all I think; the par time really should’ve been at the very least 13:30, that or 14:00 would’ve struck a better balance than a 13:00.

Great video and tips. Even using the wall-climb, I was consistently clocking around 13:20-13:30. Spent an hour practicing with the skateboard launch, and then started speedruns. Every run I did 3 attempts at the launch, and if I didn't get it I just kept going for the practice.
Managed to get a perfect first-half, and then a perfect skate launch - it threw me all the way into the room just before the final area with the fans. Ended with an 8:50.

I got 13:24, then 13:15 and then 13:11. Each time using the skateboard glitch and making a few simple mistakes that cost me the time from getting gold. After around 10 hours I managed to get just over 10 minutes and I got very lucky with the skateboard glitch as it launched me straight into the window all the way to the right. There was no chance I would have got this without the glitch but it was so hit or miss where I would be launched.

Interesting time save with the shadow cutscene after the pipes, the timing is killer so far for me. Did you get that consistently or it felt luck based? The timing is definitely about 3/4 a second before the camera starts moving, I’ve tried immediately after and it’s way late. So I tried spamming a and moving right which helped a bit but still not fast enough. Really need to save that cycle to have enough wiggle room

Phew tough one, really nerve wracking to not mess up. Had what felt like a perfect run bar maybe a few seconds of error and got 12:51.

Few tips for future players that I found helpful In this vid: for the shadow skip that he does in video, I waited a quarter of a second after the last fire leaves the screen on the right To make the timing. Waiting for the screen to move was always too late for me, you really need to be immediate.

Also this comes down to a near perfect run so make sure to do the little tricks he does like at 2:12 where you jump to the left to avoid an extra swing, etc. You can also pull both characters midair in a jump sometimes if you get the right momentum by pulling the other character with LT mid jump but it’s risky a bit. Focus on perfecting each section first like any standard speed run achievement, then re watch and see what little time savers you can be doing to save those extra seconds.

You can have your own opinion on the time (mine with this now done is that it feels out of touch with the rest of the gold medal targets - those took 4 hours collectively; this one took 6) but the fact you have to wait 70 fucking seconds for another crack at the gold is on the tier of inexcusable sin as far as speedrun design goes; the 20-40 seconds waits on the other levels as is is really, really pushing it. If that shit had to be endured in "Trackmania Turbo" (or the new "Trackmania" for that matter) I’d bet a stupid amount of money that that completion rate would be at best half what it is now. And besides, if you need a breather, pause the game. Simple as that.

P.S Also that 6 hour figure means that this achievement ended up being harder for me than getting the Trackmaster medal in 175 and 180 in "Trackmania Turbo" (which both took me 5 hours each), debatably two of the three hardest tracks in the game, so… yeah.

^ Lmao, it's not even that hard my guy.

The only annoying part at all is the near beginning where you have to jump over the box during the cutscene outside with the dudes coming down the stairs.

Other than that, none of it is truly difficult. You can 100% mess up a bunch of small things if you get past that box jump.

The people that think it's hard are people like you who get upset about dumb things.

The cutscene in the beginning: Who cares? It only happens on 1 level, and it gives you some time to get ready, or in your case, gives you time to sit and be angry about it and in turn just makes you do worse because you're too emotional.

The time: It's clearly fine, because myself (obviously a different account), and many other had no issues doing it legit. Took me 7 tries the first time I ever did it 2 years ago, and 3 tries just two weeks ago when I did it for a buddy of mine.

13:30 would've been far too easy, which is why this game has a well deserved ratio, and separates the men from the boys.

A game that actually takes skill, effort, and determination. A game that you can actually be proud of when you finally get that completion.

Or, just sit in the comments making excuses for you lack of skill instead of trying to improve.

The funniest part since I just check out your profile: You just started the game... Why are you even trying to go for the hardest achievement? Play the game and ENJOY IT first. Then do the no death runs, THEN try for the gold medals when you actually have a good grasp on the mechanics.

Jesus Christ. 2 hours in, going for the hardest achievement in the game, and then whining that you're not good enough to do it, when you haven't even given yourself enough time to even acquire the skills necessary.

It's 100% doable. It isn't as hard as you think. Trying to attempt it right away is exactly why you're failing. You haven't even BEATEN any other levels and you're trying to do this already lmao

But based on the fact that you started 2 days ago, put barely 2 hours into it, and are already whining on here about how "hard" it is... Shows me that you're not suited for this type of challenge.

Probably best to just quit while you're behind.
