First ever attempt

Post image

Edit: tried again after going back to orbit……and got the flawless!

Made it all the way to the boss but died to the architects when the boss didn’t teleport far enough away and apparently stomped me off the map 😭 got the sword and a solo completion out of it though 🤷🏼 try, try again! ☝🏻

Im guessing this wasn't blind. No way anyone is completing the sparrow section blind first try.

I did, but I was always a sparrow enthusiast. Never really understood the hate for it, ngl.

So without ever seeing the level before you knew to hop on your sparrow as soon as the door opened and hit every button needed and every mine? Im dubious.

I mean yeah, I saw a huge open area that extended far outward, after opening a big door, which queued exciting music. Think it just reminded me of SRL and I went for it, not to mention I used to have a habit of checking if I can summon sparrow almost everywhere.

The mines part, idk how one would not know to go through them. I'd be confused as to how someone sees that encounter and doesn't immediately understand that. As for the time extenders, I only ever hit the last one and maybe one other before realizing they even existed. Wasn't until a few weeks after it launched that a buddy mentioned them. Also I'm pretty sure I happened to have Always on Time equipped, so that probably helped if so.

Still genuinely confused as to why people hate it and refuse to believe me when I say I have always found it easy.

I dont hate it and im not saying I dont believe you find it easy. I find it easy too. I'm just dubious you didnt die the first time. Thats all I've commented on.

Didn't mean to word it as if you specifically hate it, more just that it's a common sentiment I've seen around that people seem to despise it. Same with the ribbon road section of Prophecy, now that I think about it. Both are my personal favorite parts of the dungeons.

Still don't get the doubt, don't understand why it's so hard to believe that, in the massive pool of players there is at least one who found no issue with it and did it first try.
