Guild Wars 2

Hi, I love the new Sanctum Sprint game. But I have trouble processing all the things happening simultaneously and I’m not so cognizant of everything going on. So this means I am not so good and usually place in 6-9. I know I cannot get #1 so I would at least like to try for #3 or #2 for the cheevo. Does anyone have any tips?

Specifically, those fake power-ups are the death of me…literally. Is there a way to jump over or avoid those?

Also, how do you know when to use any of the crap you get from the pots?

Heya, just managed to get all achievements on this one, so I will try to tell you my method.

1 – At the start of the race be sure to stand in line with a bag with a blue shield and the blue crystals and as soon the race starts use skill 2 two times as soon it’s of CD.
If you get skill 6, just save it and only use it when you see a sparky ball above your head. Also use skill 2 as soon as possible again and always aim for a bag with a blue shield.
When you get skill 4 (The master element thingy) use it and use skill 2 as much as possible just be sure to not run in to obstacles. Also still keep aiming for blue bags to recharge your skill 4 and skill 6.

When comming out from the beach area and moving up the hill aim you char in a straight line of the two orange crystals and use skill 2 to boost and end up taking a skill 2 booster, again aim your char through the waterfall and in a straight line as possible on the curvy bridge and boost through it all and receaving another bag with a blue shield, from here imo you should not use skill 2 if it’s boosted.

use skill 3 at the automatic thunder jump and as soon as you land use un-boosted skill 2 and take the right path to get another blue bag and after that turn you will just need to use skill 1 to jump once and aim to take the skill 1 booster and then use skill 1 again and push farward as much as possible and you will jump up two steps in one go.

Just follow the path and keep to the right wall untill you see a wind drawing on the wall, there use skill 1 (Hopefully you have aquired another skill 1 booster) and jump up on the ledge and walk out on the bamboo and take the orange crystal and follow the next bambo until you reach a ledge with an skill 2 booster, don’t take it just jump to the right over the turning doors and on to the bridge take as many blue crystals as possible and use skill 2 with causion and also try to pick up blue bags.

At the end of this bridge it’s almost impossible to not take a fake-power up and if you are not 1st place you have to be causious about fake-power ups on the bambo sticks, there is one to the left and one to the right, take the one that hopefully don’t have a fake-power up placed there and if you have one you place one there yourself XD.

Next is the place when the level changes so I have no realy good strategy there than just use the needed skills to get through Iether it’s 1 to jump platforms, 2 to speed through waterfalls or 3 to thunder jump platforms.

after that I think it’s time for a skill 2 through a waterfall and directly after that is a skill 3 auto thunder jump and after that thunder jump if you have endurance do a small skill 2 and aim for the next skill 3 auto thunger jump and during the jump start to aim a new skill 3 manual thunder jump to the nearby platform go there, after that you need to do a skill 1 jump up the ledge and run farward towards the bag with a blue shield and there use skill 3 and manually jump out on the round platform and jump of that one with a regular jump towards the continuing bridge.

Now you should be at that bridge, just use skill 2 and dash down the ledge and skill 2 again until you reach the cliff, there you take to the right and use skill 1 to get up that ledge and then use skill 2 to dash through the waterfall, after that there will be another waterfall and this one is a littlebit tricky, here you have to turn you char a few degrees to the right and use skill 1 to jump and in mid air use skill 2 now if you are lucky you will end up on the next step of the track and if you are unlucky you have to use skill 1 again to reach it.

after that it’s more or less straight farward.

I am typing this umm… Guide just from my head so I may have missed some steps but… I hope it works…

Oh and about these Fake-Power ups, there seems not to be anyway to ignore taking damage from them if you run in to them so learn where people usually puts them and tale routs around them if possible.

Yeah, the key is at the beginning and picking up the blue shield bags and unlocking the “4” skill. Then using it and then the “2” skill while picking up more blue shield bags to get the “4” skill again. There is no need to rush out of the gate as sometimes when you are in the lead, you will not get the “4” skill unlocked but rather the “6” skill with the blue shield bags.

As of now people do not usually do this, so if you do it right, you will have a big lead before the first leap area. At this point make sure to pick up a blue shield bag to make sure you have “6” shield skill. If you do then pick up orange bags to lay fake crystals for people behind you with skill “5”. If you see purple swirly thing above your head or if you are not in the lead and someone placed a fake power up, use your shield to avoid damage.

There are a few areas that can gain you an advantage if someone is still close by, but hard to remember or describe without video. If there isn’t anyone too close to you, you can usually still win by messing up a few times.

Some good advice above already. I usually end up first about 90% of the time, the key is to nail down your use of skill 2 and 3. You should combine skill 2 with the ubercharged skill 4, whenever you can, but I have won without using skill 4 multiple times so it’s not neccesary at all. But it does make your life so much easier though if you get skill 4 in the first 3 lines of powerups and superspeed your way to the lead in the beginning.

Learn the lay of the land, try to get the orange power crystals when you can, these make skills 2 faster and longer. I like to use skill 3 after skill 2 ends, to jump to next powerup or a line of crystals.

Here is an example vid, not my best run but you can see how to win without using anything but skills 1,2,3 and 5 (not really needed too that one, but I did use it).

Thanks for the help guys. I’m going to try to focus more on getting the orange crystals and the #4, I’ll try these methods when I get home and maybe I can actually not suck! Also Zerospin it was very nice of you to let the other guy get first place.

Here’s a video with actual tips and what not to do:

Biggest problem for me is the non dodgeable stuff you can’t see – that just hits you and you can’ t do anything about it. Very bad when you get knocked down and set back to a checkpoint… but I guess you have to save the stability skill for that special places cause a lot of players seem to put them at those small platforms where you easily can fall down.

Edit: … Wow… and just won… but with only 3 players… only 2 others in the match. Being first also is a good idea.. if you try this from beginning. Then others can’t put stuff in front of you. Also only 1 of these skills seems to knock back while jumping if I read descrption correctly. Often used at lightning skill 3 jumping platforms.

And got the back skin from chest. Lucky.

Edit2: How bugged… 2 times 3 playesr only. 1 time 2 only… then I’m alone by myself lol. Can’t be that there are not enough players.

OH MY GOD! I GOT IT! I actually GOT FIRST PLACE! ASDJASDJ

I didn’t think I could do it because I’m so terrible at jumping puzzles and lots of things happening but I followed what you guys said and watched the videos and aksdkfdsgafksdg

Yes! Getting a video game cheevo never felt SO good.

Edit: Now that I can actually play the race without being under ohgodCHEEVOSAREATSTAKE pressure, I’m going to follow Zerospin’s example of his kindness

i had a winstreak of 10 games just now.
all i can say: be lucky at start and roll a 4 from the blue bag. win the game. every time.
spell nr 4 is just broken as kitten
