Introduction

Time Trial mode can be unlocked by completing the main story. You can enter it via main menu by clicking "extras". There are 5 time trials, one for each chapter:

1. Sanctuary

● Gold - 4:20

Honestly, the first time trial is the hardest one. It requires perfect timing and no deaths to be done under 4:20. If You gonna pass this one You should be able to get all other gold medals.

2. Village

● Gold - 3:20

Easiest time trial in the game. All You need to know is the right path through village.

3. Chasms

● Gold - 4:00

This one may require some extra practice. Remember that worm won't attack You after starting his sleep animation, even if his eye is still open.

4. Star Haven

● Gold - 8:00

It's a quite long map, but there is enough time to make some mistakes and still get gold medal. You should be able to end it under 8 minutes even without using any shortcuts.

5. Ice Cave

● Gold - 13:30

Despite the fact that Ice Cave is last and hardest chapter of the game this trial is quite easy. You got A LOT of time to waste even if You won't use any shortcuts. Just remeber the path and You'll be fine.

That's all!

Thanks for checking out my guide ;) If You got any questions post them below.

You make the Sanctuary look like a piece of cake, but it's easily the hardest one! Haha

Sanctuary was very tough! The others were okay, maybe needed a few tries.

Thanks a lot for the help!

Sanctuary was definitely the hardest one because of the lack of grapple at the start, but the little tricks in this video helped. The rest were easy, even though all of them took a handful of attempts.

Seriously... I can't believe Sanctuary can be such a tough level! It's really demanding even if it looks simple.

Thanks for the guide, helped figure out village. Others were easy enough to figure out. A few extra tips to anyone:

- For village and chasm, go to options and increase gamma to the maximum. It's hard to see where you're going otherwise. Even with full gamma it's hard but it's easier to distinguish what's a rock and what's just darkness.

- For ice cave, you don't actually have to go do the crystal thing at the beginning. Jump toward the checkpoint in front of the big floating ice blocking the view to the rock you're supposed to use to cross, sprint jump and try to target the rock anyway. You can target it despite it being in the ice. This shaves off a good minute off the run and makes this time attack completely trivial.
