One Life Mode Completion

[jaredbftball]

So I recently completed all of the achievements for this game except for the one about completing this game in One Life mode. I'm finding this to be much more difficult than I original realized, as I've already put in at least a dozen tries and haven't even gotten inside of the tree yet. I am hoping to eventually figure this out and realize it will take quite a bit of work, but I was just wanting some outside input. About how many hours should I expect to devote towards completing this game achievement?

It toook me about 10 hours, after dying in the final escape on my first attempt. Make sure that every time you die, you delete the save file and start on a new one, as restarting on a One Life file after you died on it will NOT award the achievement! Good luck

It varies with every person. I've heard of people getting it on attempt 3 or 4. I got it on number 12. It would have taken me longer, but I tried something different the last time that worked. I had 2 different files running at the same time, the One Life file and a Hard mode file. Whatever part of the game was next on One Life, I would practice that section first on the Hard file until I could do it without dying, and then I saved it and did that section on the One Life file. Since the difficulty of One Life is based on Normal, it therefore made it easier to do the same stuff once I switched back to the One Life file, which compensated for the pressure of being forced to do it without dying. Hopefully that can help you too. That's all I got.

Thanks for the heads up! I was not aware of this at all.

That's a good idea, I will try this out. Thanks!
