Content drop #1 - any tips for the parkour challenge?

[Nappa]

The time restriction on this challenge is extremely tight it seems. Despite making no errors along the way (in the way of stumbling or misjumping), the best I've been able to do so far is the platform just below the platform with the final waypoint on it. Are there any good spots to shave off some seconds?

Also, it's really annoying that you have to backtrack to the beginning yourself each time you fail the challenge.

Yeah i'm not gonna bother with this one until unless they add some way to go back to the beginning instantly upon failure.

Here are some tips that I find extremely useful and can save lots of time:
- There's a checkpoint where you have to cross a street and climb up onto the roof of an apartment. Best way to get up there is to use your wall climbing skill (Agility's Tic Tac). Just go under and beside the nearest balcony of the building to you (the rightmost one nearest to the corner of the building), wall climb, and hop onto the balcony. Then jump across to the balcony that is one floor up beside your current one, and back again. Basically zig-zagging your way up, while looking above each balcony's railing, so you do not waste time pulling yourself up. Forgive me if my explanation for this is unclear. Once you reach the topmost balcony, just jump onto its railing and pull yourself onto the rooftop. Your remaining time for you to climb the radio tower depends on how well you can pull this off.
- When ziplining, hold W + shift to zipline faster.
- Always look above the edge of what you want to climb ontop. Do not waste time pulling yourself up to the ledge.
-When climbing the radio tower at the end, try not to waste too much time "ladder-climbing" the cables. I'm talking about the type of climbing where you just press W and your character slowly goes up. Get off the cables and hop onto a ledge as early as possible.
- Try to have your timer to have at least 58 seconds right after touching the radio tower. It took me around 55 seconds to reach the final checkpoint.

that is best part of the parkour in this game . thinking not just running .
when you reached the bottom of the last antenna tower, you 'd better have slightly more than 1 minute.
when you reached the place where two toads spit, you should jump over one , and press "space " quickly when you fall on the land, that can save you a little time.
when you reached the blue building , you climb floors one by one ,but not entering anyone of them except highest one . u can control your mouse and just jump not to press w to do it. that can save you lots of time.
i fail it about 10~20 times to finished the trail . it is really hard . and a little boring.

The Pyza suit can still be used during the challenge, though it'll barely save you any time in this one.

Can be done without any item, just don't waste any second.
But in all case, don't take too much of your self, the dlc is bugged, lot of players don't get rewards after completing challenges (only get the pistol after the 3 bounties done)

[Nappa]

Thanks for the tips everyone. I'll try practicing some more speed. Especially curious if I can get atop the apartment building faster by tic-taccing (never really used it before except for accidentally jumping to my death .

I completed the quest but I don't have the knife :/

How did he(you?) go flying after vaulting over that spitter near the beginning? Whenever I vault I don't go nearly that far, and I waste a good 2~3 seconds climbing up instead.

I made it using Pyza Suit.

It's an easter egg item. It's extremely easy to obtain it, you need Old Town unlocked for it though, google or search in YouTube for details about it.
