The Speedy Duo Achievement Tips/Help?

The Speedy Duo
- Proof that you've cleared Naraka in the Malevolent Crucible in a short amount of time. You speed demon, you!
I know that I have to get a time of 2 minutes or under, but how do i do that? I've tried on simple, normal and hard mode, gotten 2x +7 Gladiator Armor, and i'm lvl 76. But i can't get a better time than 2mins 33secs. I've even tried the needle art spam, which only really works for the 3-2nd last wave.
Any help will be appreciated.

You can get a Friend to help you with it.
If you can't get a Friend or want to do this alone then here is how i did it.

Put the game difficulty on Simple.
Set the Strategy for Alisha and Rose as following:

Action = Target Multiple Enemies
Tactics = Fast Attacks(or Aim for Weakness, try that out if you still don't get under 2 min.)
Atk. Rate = Focus on Attacks
Def./Healing = Never mind HP
Blasts = Do Not use ( not sure if using Mystic Artes wastes time or not but i did it without.)

Get the Sacred Gladiator Garb through Sanctification of the Gladiator Armor +10, so you get All Stats+40.

Get the Battle Action "Attack Step", so you can kill off the bats at the beginning with simply quick stepping into them.Also enable "Double Damage", if you don't allready using it.

Now, as soon as you enter and the battle starts, flick the right stick to the left so you get the "Spread Out" Command and Rose or Alisha will attack different targets.
When you reach the part where the red snail things appear, just spam Alisha's Demon Fang Arte. After that you should probbably change to Rose and spam Glimmer Dragon+ Higher Artes or as you said the needle arte.

By doing this i got a time of 01'59''56....
Again this is just how i did it so if someone has a better or different Strategy thats fine.

How did you sanctify your equipment? I went to Marlind and talked to the lord of the land there and there wasn't an option for that. But doing everything else took me down to 2'08'13.

[OhhYuu]

Did you activated Sanctification?
Talk to the Lord fo the land and go to "Set Boons" , there should be an option for that.
If not, try in Lastonbell.

Thanks! I managed to get a time of 1'56'45 and unlocked the achievement

[OhhYuu]

Nice! Glad i could help. You're welcome. :)

I assume this is impossible without the "double damage" thing?
I didn't buy it, didn't want the DLC to be super easy, but I can't seem to reach less than 2'30 no matter how hard I try.
Kinda lame achievement, and I don't feel like restarting the DLC just for this...

Its abit of a pain right now since you cant bringover gear from the main game into the dlc if you could still do that you could go into the main game and fuse some equipment/farm money to do it faster than when your stuck in the dlc due to the current glinch preventing using the alisha save to return to the main game.

[Lucathegreat]

Phew, finally did it, double damage wasn't needed after all... had to fuse rings and stuff to get a high enough magic arte, Rose had a +25 ring at the end, lol.

Also, remember to eat a snack that increases either magic artes or concentration, every little % helps to kill them faster.

Difficulty set to Simple. I was Lv 95. Took a few tries. Most of my runs or normal were ~2:05. You only need 2:00.

Here is another tip for anyone having issues. Make sure to take off the Normins at the Lord of the Land. I could not get below 2:30 on simple and it was driving me nuts until I realized that I had 3 Normins equpped...
