Save file timer is off?

[MLGWeed1BruhPro.com]

Hi, I am trying to save Le'garde but having trouble seeing how much time I've spent in my save files as the number is drastically off.

For example my first save file is marked as having 19 hours in it even though I don't even have that many hours in the game on Steam. I started a fresh save to check, timed on my phone and the intro took me 1 minute, but the save file screen says 00:04:30. The time irl is not 4:30 or 00:04 or whatever either so it's not that... Is this a bug? Is it gonna stop me getting to Le'garde? Am I just missing something?

The timer ends at 30 minutes.

I know that. But when I look at my list of saves, it tells me I have like 3 hours of playtime in the file when in reality it's more like an hour. It's giving me the wrong time on all files. Meaning it's hard for me to tell if I still have enough time left before the 30 minute mark so I'm having to time on my phone which sucks

What about a new run? Does the clock reset? The save timer keeps track of menu time too so if you ever open the menu and step away it'll keep running.

I'd just do that and beeline. You can get to him in under 15 just going straight there.

Ive tried a few new runs and the clock resets but it’s like it goes extra fast. I’ll start a timer on my phone from the moment I select my character, and when I save in game it’ll say like 30 minutes when my phone timer says it’s only been 10. Like I said I even have a save that says it’s been 19 hours when I didn’t even have 19 hours playtime on Steam yet. Idk if its glitched or something

They don't seem to be in sync. I've saved Le'garde on a save file that said 45 minutes, tested by using the book of enlightenment in the catacombs. I think the save file timer also counts time when the game is paused.

I feel like as long as you have dash and you've been through both the mines and the thicket once, you should usually be able to get to Le'garde in time. Without dash... You're probably going to have to miss a lot of loot on the way and hope you get lucky with an explosive vial.

Oh ok thanks, and btw what do you mean about the thicket? I’ve not explored there much so I’ve been more or less avoiding it when trying to get to him fast, I’m very new so still trying to figure out best paths and how exactly everything connects together. Ive been doing:
opening area getting the girl and dagger > prison area > cave area with moonless > mines and cavedwellers area > le’garde. Idk if this is a good way to do it or not

Try exploring there instead of going to the Mines if you get the chance. It's worth going all the way through at least once.

Oh ok thanks is it like an alternate route? I explored it before but hit a dead end, I guess there was a hidden way to go or something
I found a big tree in the hidden courtyard too that was like thicket inside but couldnt find anywhere to go inside it

You missed something in the tree. Go click around in there for a bit.
