Hi i been trying to get gold on this adventure but the rng is killing me, i try it for 6 hours and my best was 23 masks. i watch some youtube videos and try do it using the mushrooms avoiding gliding too much learning the routes but i don’t get much masks next to each other like in some videos so i need to run from one end to another alot.Would be possible to make it less rng?
Thank you.

Best I could do was Silver in that mini-game, after maybe 6 attempts. I don’t need Gold so I never tried again.

What do you need Gold for? If randomness plays a deciding role, you can just grind it and be lucky at some point.

Personally I don’t bother with the HoT adventures anymore unless they’re in the Daily rotation. This and shooting gallery especially are severly affected by RNG. If you’re lucky then it could be a piece of cake. If you’re not lucky then you could do it a thousand times and not get it. Its just not worth it, IMO.

Well, you need to get Silver in some of them when you want to craft a generation 2 legendary weapon. I would have liked to ignore them, but they gave some Mastery Points I really needed. I never do them when they are dailies. Only for legendary collections I return to them.

I got a friend to come on a Revenant and follow me around. This way I had perma swiftness. It makes it a bit easier, though not a lot.

Buffs work in adventures including speed boosts if you have one.

Adventures are both RNG and not RNG. Yeah having some luck matters for sure. But if you practice it enough, you just get good enough at it that you consistently get 23-24 and then you just need 1 good, slightly lucky run.

Keep at it!

Use the speed boost mushrooms when possible. Try using action mode, and glancing at your map for less than a second. You only need a general idea of where to head before you start moving, and you can look up and down to locate exactly where the mask is.

I’ve been paying close attention, and it appears that some of the sequence is not actually RNG. Certain parts of it seems to always repeat for every iteration, so pay attention to that.

But most importantly, use the speed boost shroom or this achievement will not be possible. And learn how to take minimal falling damage to save some time

If you’re playing correctly when shooting for gold, you’ll have 100% uptime of the speed boost mushrooms, which are better than swiftness (40% movement speed). This was necessary when I got gold on this adventure recently. The other necessary trick is to always avoid fall damage so that you don’t get put in combat. There are also a number of jump shortcuts you can take in certain paths to shave seconds off your total time.
