Tower Runner Achievement - step by step

Hey folks!!! This will be a step by step guide for the Tower Runner Achievement. I must confess that I had some trouble getting it at first, but if even I managed to get it (I suck at speedruns), you can do this as well.

But before we start the step by step part, lets drop some quick tips here: first of all you definitely wanna be always running, even across short distances and second, be always read to press the action key, as the character will start the animation as soon it gets close to the thing you want to get or activate. So the sooner the better.

That's it. Let's rock!

1. Severed Head 1

As soon the game loads, press the red button, go to the left all the way and get your first Severed Head (1) . On your way back, before wall walk, press the red button again, so you're in the "normal" world. Walk past the button few steps and lift the bridge. Use the red button again, wall walk so you're right where you started, but with a bridge to continue in the "normal" world.

2. Belt and Elevator

Pass past the elevator and go straight to right and use the wall walk ability to get the belt. Don't worry about the head now.

3. Severed Head 2 and Pyramid Puzzle

Use the belt on the wheel and go up to the 5th floor. Here, you want to solve the pyramid puzzle as fast as you can (using the same moves you used to get the related achievement). Get you second Severed Head (2).

4. Extension Cord 1 and Hatch Wheel

On your way back to the elevator, use the switch to lift up a door from the floor below. Quick go to the elevator, before the door closes again and go the the right, on the 4th floor. Get the Extension Cord (1) and a Hatch Wheel.

5. Skull Emblem

Go back to the elevator and to the second floor. On the right side, use the hatch wheel to open a door and get a Skull Emblem.

6. Severed Head 3

Back to the elevator, go up to the 4th floor. There, on the left side, you want to solve the puzzle following this order: left top corner, left bottom corner, right bottom corner and right top corner. Get your third Severed Head (3).

7. Extension Cord 2

Go up to the fifth floor once again and all the way to the left side. Use the red button, wall walk, use it again and step on the key button first. Then use the red button, wall walk, use it again and step on the cross and eye button, in this order. Place the skull block you got before, step on it then use the red button to wall walk once again. Press the red button again and step on the last button. Get the Extension Cord (2). Turn back, press the red button, wall walk, press one last time and go to the elevator.

8. Severed Head 4

Go to the third floor, use the cords to be able to use the lever in front of you. This "puzzle" just requires you to get the box using the magnet and place it on the numbered buttons. (the orders doesn't matter as far I can tell, but I find it faster if you start from 123, and from here, make a square with the box, ending with the button 13). Move the box through the hole you just opened and drop it. Go back to the start of the floor, use the lever to drop the box and go down to the second floor and to the left. DO NOT FORGET GETTING THE SEVERED HEAD (4)

9. Severed Head 5

This is going to be your last head required. Your very own head. Use the guillotine to cut your head off. Get it and with no time to lose, go to the first floor. Put the heads in place and activate the lever. Pass through the hole.

CONGRATS, YOU GOT YOUR ACHIEVEMENT.

Notes

1. From my experience, the time is very strict, so you don't want to lose time solving puzzles and wanna do them perfectly. I finished the level with 10 seconds left and doing 0 mistakes.

2. I created this guide after getting the achievement, and with the things I remember from it. If you find any mistake or wanna add any suggestion to make it faster, feel free to do so.

Thanks for checking this guide.

Good guide, thank you!

One thing is that steps 5 and 6 should be inverted. If you do step 6 immediately after 4, you can stay on the same floor and then you never have to come to floor 4 again.

Managed to finish in 5'34'' making a few minor mistakes on the way.
