Bastion Proving Grounds - The Scrap Yard First Prize (Cael Hammer)

[VeZghen]

True way too hard in PC version :((

[xCelebrianx]

I was always like 5 secs off getting first till I watched this then got it first try after seeing you do it. Thanks :D.

[chrispypoop]

this took me forever. my best for ages was 27 seconds. then i did it 21. no idea how i managed to shave off 6 seconds

[kitches1991]

i crushed everything in 26 seconds, but it still tells me i get second prize. wtf? it says destroy everything in 27 seconds or less and i did. i destroyed everything in 26 seconds but still get nothing but seconds and third prize!

[aboutl]

@kitches1991 I sent a e-mail to the studio, and they said the limit time is 24sec......

[kitches1991]

@aboutl i ended up miraculously beating it in 22 seconds after about 40 tries. best feeling ever

[Gprinziv]

This shit is impossible on the PC version. You need to have an analog stick in order to not chuff it up somewhere along the way. Rolling with precision doesn't happen with WASD.

[hailstorm123isdead]

@Gprinziv this shit is possible. you just haven't developed your fingers.

[tobymcwair]

@Gprinziv I barely did it in 27 seconds in the PC, it is stupidly difficult, specially because I basically broke the "Space" key lol

[welldonefromhereon]

fuck this one was hard! haha

[gameshoes]

I wonder if I hit a glitch. First prize is in 27 seconds, I did it in 25 seconds and I still got second prize.

[Starquake1]

@gameshoes I finished it with 24 seconds a handful of times and it still doesn't give me first place. Also when I'm in the Reflections of the Past with all of my idols active, when I finish it I get a message saying that it was unable to award me some achievement because my profile is not available, even though I'm logged in and it doesn't say which achievement I supposedly unlocked. I've gotten that twice now.

[RebirthWoWGuild]

Wow fuck you went crazy on that shit

[warpedworld9]

It kind of looks like your rolls are doing more damage. Is there a spirit that increases your roll damage, or am I just seeing things? :P

[krypticalca]

Holy fuck doing this with keyboard + mouse is incredibly difficult. Took me at an hour of tries to finally beat with 26 sec. Everything else is pretty easy now

[DemonTaoist]

Having to aim with the mouse makes this significantly harder...

[Cky4me]

I think this may be a programming glitch, it says 27 sec or less, but I got 27, then 26, then 25 and it didn't give me first prize, but after getting 24 I got it, so maybe it should say 24 seconds or under.

[alias100]

Yeah, I got 25 seconds and it keeps telling me to get 27 secs or less.

[Fuz]

Im getting the same problem, 2nd prize for 26/27 seconds.

[MrCrammer]

This one is glitched for me. Got 00:26, 00:26 and 00:27. Nothing :(

[Hokucho]

Its not working for me. I do it in about 25 seconds now and it says I keep getting 2nd.

[tursiops0]

Everything about this game is awesome except for this #@&%ing trial

[asfastasicanyt]

If you avoid aiming for the large lamp posts and follow his path, you can beat this without any weapon upgrades. Not as hard as doing the nail repeater one without cheese or upgrades. Might take you up to 10 attempts though.

[DeeVektor]

Made it in 22 seconds. It's just the way told in the video, roling and attacking.

[AwesomTang]

how the fuck did you do it in 24

[36ixtyGaming]

This is almost impossible what do i need to unlock in order to achieve the the first prize?

[Crow667]

If you miss something let it go, that's horseshit. You can hardly miss something because you have to get a 100 and there's like a 103 items there.

[AmTheBroseph01]

@Crow667 yea try walking back then going back to what you were doing. you will waste like 2 seconds which is a lot for this

[Crow667]

@AmTheBroseph01 I made it through just rolling, that way it's much faster.

[Kruncheh]

..Lol, I got it in 22 seconds. After like, thirty times.

[Binocularify]

Just finished using Keyboard did it in 24 seconds... I went from 29-30 seconds each try to 24 just by going around the perimeter first then working my way in once i made a complete pass around the perimeter. Need some luck and some good rolls.

[4ever12yj]

Thanks for sharing. The walkthrough shown is good, i did it following this one ,but others surely work as well.Keep calm,roll and hit to fetch combos.its not necessary to roll to the edge in risks of falling for the few debris.about 106 stuff , you're not gonna miss it. PS: As a keyboard player, it sucks.

[VinalG4ce]

you helped me get through. thank you sir. I'll be forever in your debt

[TheBladsport]

Ey lol 22seconds lol

[kenshinluo]

I tried countless times... best time was 25... I was so pissed cuz that's when i found out when the description says "in under 25 seconds", it means that literally.... 25 will not cut it.

[ButtersTheBoss]

I fuckin hate this challenge took me like 20 tries

[zebanon5]

@ButtersTheBoss do you have it for pc or xbox (360?) ? I've been trying to get first for ages on my computer, such a pain >_<

[aqula]

@ButtersTheBoss Just 20??

[craziii3]

this is one of the hardest challenges on pc. my best time is 29 with max upgrades.

[ZakDanger]

This is getting rediculous... about my 25th try and I can't get past 29 seconds

[em0rox]

@mrdookiestain It's impossible to play any game without mashing buttons...

[em0rox]

I've bought 100s of xbla games over the years and this is one of my favorites, don't listen to the crybabies. Buy this game.

[Axelhander]

@mrdookiestain You're an idiot.

[DaCruHunter]

A tip: rolling also does damage. Try to repeatedly tap A,B,A,B. If you combine the two, you'll do damage in rows, destroying smaller objects, while gaining ground to smash the larger ones.

[em0rox]

@DaCruHunter It says that in the video. ;)

[TheAquafunk]

its weird, but if you don't focus on the count while you're smashing stuff up it feels so much easier to get 1st haha.

[cleggforthewin]

@mrdookiestain ahahaha that is the easiest of the challengers :')

[AssassinVegita]

@mrdookiestain Run up to the middle and kill the squirts that come out of the ground in the middle first (the black ones that run away from you), after about 10 seconds that ends and then you just attack the squirt making machines (3 of them). The squirts that come out of the machines will follow you around, making them easy to kill (blue ones). Then just finish up with the turrets...just incase you wanted to try to beat it for the first place prize.

[AmTheBroseph01]

@mrdookiestain This isnt the place to spam a dont buy this , and if its such a button masher then you should be able to do it ????

[iceveiled]

wow dude, nice! I got mine down to 27 seconds but my hammer is fully powered up in new game+. Guess I just need to practice more.

[Syithe]

Oh okay... Rolling does help. Thanks for this, this one and the Dueling Pistols are the only ones I'm having trouble with getting the top prize.

[Mareritt]

@Syithe What I did for Dueling Pistols was upgrade for damage and have the Werewhiskey equipped. Before you pick up the pistols, roll off the edge until the Werewhiskey activates then grab the pistols and go at it. Worked like a charm.

[iceveiled]

@Syithe I couldn't get that one until I had fully powered up the dueling pistols and got the +25% damage. Even then you have to be super quick in facing the targets and shooting them down. Still took me a few tries after fully upgrading. With a little luck you'll get it.

[AmTheBroseph01]

i actually just got to that part i have been trying to get money to buy upgrades lol but im working on it now

[DoozyHoppers]

Hey, thanks for the walkthrough, I'm having difficulties with one of the challenges which you haven't reached yet, the dual wielding pistols proving grounds, I'm gonna stay tuned until you reach that part so you can show us how its done. Thanks for the walkthrough, I'm subbing :).

[AmTheBroseph01]

@DoozyHoppers hey man im uploading that last one in a few minutes here if you wanna check back

[Mirroga]

@AmTheBroseph01 May I ask. Is there any tips in actually attacking with the Cael Hammer. Most of the problem is that I can't do continuous combos using the Hammer like you do in the video. Its like after every small combo I pull off, it goes back to him either missing since his strongest attacks don't home or just use the normal butting of the hammer's head.

[quanmadrid]

@Mirroga if you watch closely, the guy in the video does a roll before some of his hammer attacks. If you time it right, you'll do a roll hammer combo and can work twice as fast. Good luck.

[Mirroga]

@AmTheBroseph01 Don't bother. Found out that not using a gamepad or game controller is a crippling experience. Just to convey that experience, just imagine that the auto-aim only works when you use the shield button and that you can NEVER aim without it because there's no analog.
