Opening Time bracelets.

[ARTSQ]

Hi, guys! Could you please advice on this:
I know that to open Time Bracelets you should finish Normal mode in 3 hours or less.
My question is - should I rewrite my current data in Chapter table or just simple quickrun should be enough? I already got 6 platinum levels (to get Jeanne) and I would preffer to keep that as is.
Or rewriting is inevitable?

Doing the Jeanne unlock before the Bracelet of Time might not be a wise decision.

Though the important bit for the bracelet unlock is that the total chapter time in the is at 3 hours max. You don't have to overwrite your platinum scores if you can speedrun the non-platinum ones fast enough.

(Not to mention that by having a platinum score, those levels have probably already been done fast.)

My advice is go for 3 hours first, if I were you I would replay the platinum levels only if necessary. CHeck my screenshot on the bottom to get idea about chapter times (did not even try that much, only replayed like 6 levels for better time)

For those who have questions regardin the conditions for 3hours :
Open submenu on mission start (screen with gates of hell, mission start and save) THere is Play History, open it and move go on the last panel on the right. You see total game time and time on each chapter. All you have to do is replay those mission where you can easily get better time and get under 3 hours. After that after mission there will be message popped up that you have Bracelets of Time availible for purchase (200,000 halos).

Check mine, I did not even try.. had original time of 4:30hours, just replayed those mission where I was lurking around trying to find secrets (already got all achievements on xbox360 and I remmbered some locations) I got my times on mission from 48 seconds to 15 minutes.. just skip fights where you dont have blocked path and you should be fine. YBY with katana+ durga has high dmg output you can abuse it on 90% of the enemies.

Well, I've started Jeanne before I realized that Bracelets is smth. must-have.

Regarding the time on platinum - not sure about that. Platinum requires you to pass through all of additional fights (otherwise empty medals will decrease your score), which doesn't look like speedrun so far.

Compare your times to mine, you can hunt better time than I have on most of the chapters, dodge your platinum ones. I think I had 2h15minutes on my xbox as a record, so there is plenty of space for 3hours run..
