Grasp of Averice sparrow part

I died so many times I forgot what number I was at.
I know it's been years since the dungeon's release but does anyone even like this part?
Because I suck at sparrow racing and dealing with wonky physics that obstruct me from keeping the timer up from preventing the bomb to explode prematurely.

I did get through eventually. But now that I found out that I must go through that hell again just to collect 2 weapons that I didn't get the first time eventually.

Does anyone even like this part at all?
Also I would like some advice and tips to get over this part should I decide to go through it by my lonesome self again.

If you can't learn/practice the path with the easy timer extending buttons then just grab the Xurfboard and cheese it.

Wrong song btw I know you're trying to make a joke but its different than the theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtPsAf3bgAA

First time I done it. It was without having any hoverboards.
...I ended up having to thundercrash at the final bomb defusal as every time I was about to reach it on sparrow I kept on messing up the landing or I run out of time by the time I reach to the bomb defuse.
It felt like over a hour of a mental gymnastic of trial and error.

Also I know. But there isn't kazoo version of the warthog run from halo 3. (Yet or to be discovered)
Because when you die a lot from a section that was made from the backbone of it's history so many times.
The song basically becomes a joke due to the overwhelming madness from the vicious cycle of trial and error on each sections and redoing it all over again after screwing it up.

At least it's good to know you also played Halo 3 at least.

After you memorize the optimal route, the only difficulty is the last jump through the launching thing. It is very inconsistent, sometimes you can be thrown too low for no reason.

For me personally, I've noticed this happens when I've used a board. Another reason why I don't use them anymore. Other reasons are that they aren't as pivotable as sparrow and I don't like the left/right dash animation.

Don't pause at all for the bomb diffusion, going through at full pace works.
You need at least two switches on the right hand side too usually.
Don't push forwards, at least don't push forwards on the last jump to the giant skull, it's not needed for speed and when you are in the air it dips the nose and will lose you height so you can't clear the last jump.

Arc armour mods can help you last a bit longer if you do get hit but you also should ditch your sparrow/board when you see it smoking and hop on a fresh one immediately as you won't recover if delayed by one actually being destroyed.

just remember the fuse location and focus on ur sparrow . If u see the smoke from ur sparrow just jump out real quick and summon it again make it full hp . u can do it in three starting capture point but u will dont have enough time to do it in final capture point so in my opinion jump out ur sparrow at the 3rd point and summon it again fast

its not as hard as you think it is once you get the hang of it.
it was the bane of my existence when i first started doing the dungeon, but nowadays its basically free unless i'm playing like a world class idiot.

just remember where a couple of the fuse locations are to extend the timer, spam boost instead of holding it(mashing the button makes you go faster, especially with a skimmer instead of a sparrow), and if you take enough damage that your sparrow is smoking just jump off and resummon it and it'll be at full health.

Easy if you hit all the time nodes for time extension, there's genuinely no sweat. You could walk it with 3 players communicating. Soloing flawless would be annoying but possible, but if you're asking this, I doubt you're attempting a solo, let alone a flawless. Take your time and have fun lil light.

solo isn't actually that much harder than in a group.

hell it might even be easier since you really only need 1 time node per bomb and when you're solo there's no risk of getting rammed by your team mates.

Also, the mobs haven't been woke up by the faster guy, leaving them all to focus-fire you. :D
