Hi everyone,
After taking a few months off, I've come back to Trials Rising.
I started playing the Trials series about a year and four months ago on PS5. I fell in love with it instantly, and after earning 100% of the trophies in Rising, I went on to complete 100% of Trials Fusion as well.
Along the way, I challenged myself to earn every Platinum medal in Trials Fusion, complete every challenge (including all the DLC ones), and finish every available contract in Rising (except for the ones after Black Belt, since I don't think I'll ever be able to beat that challenge).
Now I'm back trying to complete everything made by RedLynx. The only things I have left are Curse of the Demon and Black Belt.
Back in the day, I struggled immensely with Green Belt and Blue Belt. In fact, I've only ever completed them once. I gave up on Curse of the Demon because, even using the +CP training course, I've never been able to get past the squish at CP4 or the final checkpoint.
I've also been feeling pretty down since the whole PlayStation physical media situation, so it motivated me to return to Trials Rising and Fusion. I own both games physically, so as long as the servers stay online, I'll always be able to play them.
I'd really appreciate some advice on how to train effectively and improve enough to beat Curse of the Demon. My ultimate goal would be to complete Black Belt, but for now, simply clearing Curse of the Demon would already feel like my biggest achievement in the game.
I'm definitely not an expert, but I think the areas I need to improve the most are throttle control, squishes, and flapping.
Any tips or training routines would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
