Gold medal

[CHEF]

just asking but till what time in the speedrun will it count as a gold medal once i like finish the speedrun of the game?

From what I can find online and my experience, the overall medal is based on the individual medals you received on each level. The number of deaths also is a factor towards the medals earned each stage. With that said, approximately 30 minutes is a minimum target for getting gold, with less than 20ish deaths.

Here is a nice guide if you are trying to get the gold medal achievement:

The first 4 levels and the Dragon tape should be fairly easy to get a platinum medal after a little practice (0 deaths). After runs you can see what levels gave you the most trouble and practice those levels until you are comfortable for a full run.

one thing, would i have to do the actuall ending or the one thats just quicker and easier be better to finish on?

You can get the achievement with the normal ending. You do not have to play the secret boss. It's an option you select when you start the run.

I'll copy/paste exactly what I said the last time someone asked for tips:
"There isn't a specific answer to that, really. Every stage has its own medals associated with them (if you quit in the middle of a run, it'll show you the medals for the stages you have done, so that's a good way to gauge how well you did in one stage for practice). For example, getting even a few deaths on the first 2 stages will give you a pretty bad medal, while you can die a lot of times on some of the later stages and still make a gold.
I think the time for each stage is individually weighted too, but overall, aim for under 30 minutes for your entire run.

At the very end, the average of your medals determines your final medal score. If you have a lot of platinums for some stages and some silvers for others, you can still end with a gold overall. I don't know how exactly each stage is weighted towards the total, but yeah that's how it works. Here's what my gold result looked like: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1801461825"

I think "Gold" has to be your AVERAGE medal for it to count as yoru final medal.

Note that there IS a medal above gold, which is get a gold time for that segment AND have 0 deaths.

That said it's fairly lenient buuuuuuuut it is tricky. Remember if you get stumped on an area there's a bunch of guides, and you can practice chapters individually (though for the achievement you still have to do the full run, getting a tough chapter down to consistently getting gold makes it easier)
