If it's written dialogue you can't skip, spam Start, A, and B. So if you need to go do something(Like go to the bathroom or go somewhere) I'd recommend to save and just load that save when you're ready to do it again. When you pause or Guide Button, time is still ticking.

If you plan on doing all the quests for Part 1, you better make sure you skip every single line of dialogue and are amazing at fishing, because it takes around 10-20 hours just to finish those. You can kill shades if you want, but most of the time don't bother.ĭon't do quests. Sure, that glowing item might have rare stuff, or that sheep really needs to die, but you're wasting time, especially when you don't need to be.

It's faster than walking and gives you invincibility frames so you can dodge through those red ball projectiles and occasionally boss attacks.ĭark Hand is your friend. Hard mode is a bit of a waste, everything becomes a damage sponge and takes way too long to kill, especially in Part 1. You can also do it on Easy, but where's the fun in that?

This achievement is relatively simple, it's essentially just speedrunning the game. This will have spoilers, so I hope you've already beaten the game once.
