------------------------------------------------------

Hello, friends! If you follow Matt on Twitter, you might have notice the brief part where I said I'm very sorry for doing the Pearl ranks this time around. Still holds true.
For those who don't know about Pearls: the Red Pearl is a secret rank past the Diamond, a hidden time you have to beat - and that time is the developer record. (Rounded up a bit to be a little more fair.)

Of course, I want to know how you guys do and how close you are... please share many screenshots and especially videos!

Since I set the Pearl times this time, I won't be uploading the videos like I did last time - I won't do that unless someone hits the Pearl time, at which point I'll reveal my route and maybe some bonus stuff. So get on it and get those secret ranks! I can't wait to see how you do these! :D

Pearl Ranks so far:
Amaranth 1 - First beaten by @DrSkipper_
Amaranth 2 - First beaten by @DrSkipper_
Amaranth 3 - First beaten by @DrSkipper_
Dreadwood 1 - First beaten by @dtadgh
Dreadwood 2 - First beaten by @DrSkipper_
Dreadwood 3 - First beaten by @DrSkipper_

Necro away.

Interesting strategy going over the top. Try for the ultra hard Red Pearl times, they all listed on the wiki here: http://towerfall.wikidot.com/trials

Woo finally beat Catclysm 3

My laptop doesn't work too great with recording so will have to wait until I have my desktop set up again to get it on video.

[DrSkipper]

I've also been whittling down some other times. Down to 1.548 on Cataclysm 1.

[Suyooo]

NICE! (Video includes a beta version of the trial as a bonus!)

Darkfang and Cataclysm are down, only three trials remain!
I honestly thought Amaranth 3 would be beaten pretty early because I'm not 100% happy with that one, but apparently it's pretty strong - and Dreadwood 2 and 3 are my masterpieces, so have fun with those :D

(I also always replay Cataclysm 1 and keep cutting it down. It's just such a fun trial.)

[DrSkipper]

Interesting, my approach was more like the one you used for the original version of the trial, although i did hornet the target on the right on the first hyper over

[DrSkipper]

Finally beat Dreadwood 2 trial time :) (~8500 attempts)

A couple are missing and I've beaten several of the times since recording (usually don't record while playing).

@Suyooo looks like you also still need to update the original post with dreadwood 2 being beaten too :)
