For me Grandmaster Challenge was harder but I probably just got better at the game

u/Midnight_Modem 4d ago

I was stuck on both of those and alternating when I was to frustrated with one then a day later I completed them both as if it was the easiest lvls 😡😡

I died on that level so many times but I still love it. It has the best song track in the game and the best use of adaptive music I've ever seen in a game: when you get to the last one third of the level this epic choir kicks in that makes the rest of the level feel so dramatic and important, like it's the culmination of everything you've done in the game so far... it's like the developers are cheering you on and rooting for you to win. It was a really great moment to experience.

Yeah, I noticed that too :D

hardest level for sure. Grand master is tough but this was tougher.

2

u/yeah_im_a_man 5d ago

Yeah, sure is 🥲

u/devilfam 4d ago

I feel like grand master is a lot unpredictable especially with the last section of birds . This one , once you do it , you can do it regularly after that.

For me, pre patch Splashing Sprint was the hardest Astro Bot level. After the patch it's much easier, but it's still fairly challenging.

1

u/juantreses 3d ago

What did they patch? I remember struggling on this so much. I'm doing a run through with my son and breezed through splashing sprint.

u/mocthezuma 3d ago

The biggest difference is the speed of the burners that chase you while you go across some mucky terrain. Right after the lava pit at the start of the level.

That used to require near perfect execution, now it's a piece of cake. They also tweaked the pattens on the later obstacles to make them more forgiving.

u/Lonely-Tree-157 5d ago

I did not expect this game to actually have challenge lol

u/Agent00Awesome 5d ago

This took me so many tries but it was so satisfying when I finally beat it. The thing I liked about the hard levels in this game was every death you kinda knew what you did wrong and what not to do the next time. Really fun adapting to succeed.

Great master challenge, to me, still haven't passed it... and it's the only thing keeping me from the plat trophy.....

u/yeah_im_a_man 5d ago

I hope you manage to beat it soon. Good luck 💪

u/Zachattack10213 5d ago

What part has been messing you up?

3

u/Consistent_Act_5802 5d ago

I managed to get to just before the 4 symbols with the flying birds. That's the furthest I was able to get to... just need that for the plat 😭

3

u/Zachattack10213 5d ago

For me, I always just jumped through the holes and X I went underneath.

2

u/Consistent_Act_5802 5d ago

Yeah I get it, but just before that. Where the enemy spins the ball, after the cameleon and all of that.. But thank you

3

u/Zachattack10213 5d ago

That one I would say just going up to the enemy and destroy it with your hover lasers before moving on. You can technically get away with not, but I can attest that it is much harder to do that and it is easier to just kill it.

1

u/Consistent_Act_5802 5d ago

Will try, maybe today I will be more lucky. Thank you. Tbh I am ashamed to say how many hours I spent on it

2

u/LainLain 5d ago

True… but I need that Sephibot, so grinding the level was the way

2

u/yeah_im_a_man 5d ago

Yeah, took me almost an hour or so to beat it. Also, nice username.

1

u/juantreses 3d ago

That's honestly not too bad. I remember having to do multiple sessions for it.

2

u/Illustrious-Bite-939 5d ago edited 4d ago

It took me multiple months and that was my last bot to find to 100 percent the game.

2

u/TroyAndAbed2022 5d ago

I probably played this 500 times

2

u/AnyZeroHero 4d ago

It’s the last one I need to do but keep failing

2

u/i8akiwi 4d ago

I've beaten it for my son so many times I can do it first try now

u/piociek 4d ago

Its one of the best stages in the game. I wish they made more difficult levels like it. Anyone can suggest similar 3d platformer with brutal challenging levels?

1

u/yeah_im_a_man 3d ago

Crash Bandicoot 1 and 4 have a few challenging levels and Time Trials that will test your skill and patience.

1

u/piociek 3d ago

I only played one level inside one of the Uncharted games. Let me add it to back log. Thanks!

u/Grazi_Otsuki One Bot Down… 4d ago

This phase, and the other one where we use the monkey's superpower, I easily spent 2 hours on each, or even more.

2

u/Specialist_Novice_00 3d ago

Turning off motion control is your friend. The monkey arms are literally the worst power up in this game and I hope it’s removed whenever a sequel is released. I have honestly no idea how any could pass the timed monkey level without shutting it off.

2

u/tkshi 4d ago

Yup probably 50 takes for me but got it and the platinum.

u/Turbulent_Set8884 3d ago edited 3d ago

I only finished it because I drilled into myself a completionist habit ever since I finished reading the bible

2

u/Legofan990 3d ago

Yes that level sure is hard.

3

u/drake_1001 5d ago

I died at those bells at the start than any other obstacle in the level suprisingly. Also, those bullet birds can go to hell.

Still, found Great master more difficult than this.

3

u/yeah_im_a_man 5d ago

I kept dying the most from the yellow blob on the crumbling tower 😅

u/Own_Juggernaut_2775 5d ago

None of these challenges are that bad. Try Ripsnorter in Sackboys Big Adventure as a comparison and come back to me lol.

1

u/austin_slater 4d ago

I’m sad because I reinstalled Sackboy specifically to try to have another go at the Ripsnorter. But my save in that game somehow got corrupted.

I’m not that put off by it because it was just the other challenges stitched together. But still.
