School exorcism countdown too short for single player?

[Beth]

I've tried multiple times to exorcise the ghost on the haunted school level, but can only get the light 3/4 or so to the cross before getting insta-killed by the timer running out. I take the shortest route to the catwalk possible while cutting corners and holding the run key down the entire time, but never seem have enough time to get the light all they way to the cross.

Anyone else running into this problem?
Is it even possible to do as a single player?

I have heard others saying it is too easy(even in singleplayer). That said I have not tried it myself...

Hmmm... If that's the case, I'm really not sure what I could be doing wrong to not have enough time, maybe I'm not running the fastest route possible or something and need to reevaluate.

As for 2+ players, yea, I can see why they say its easy. Just have someone pre-positioned at the light before starting the timer, essentially doubling the time to get the light in position. The light is accessible the entire time, unlike Bedlam where you have to jump through hoops to get that final room open.

It's doable but you can't make a mistake.

Ahh, there's the rub, then.

I wouldn't mind giving it a go with someone else. I'm usually free evenings past 6pm EST

45 seconds is the time you have to get it done. If you know how to use the sprint in game properly, you can safely do it.

I was not aware there was a proper sprint method. All I've ever known was hold down the run key to get your little 1 second of zoomies every few seconds.

Correct! if you press sprint every other second, you can get it done in 35 seconds easily.
