Tips/Tricks

  • You will not be able to see the second checkpoint of the race easily, but you will need to fly through the building to get to it. Be careful not to hit the ground.
  • There are multiple points in the race where the trees make seeing the next checkpoint quite difficult. Pay attention to the arrow going from your current checkpoint to the next one to know where to fly to next.
  • Before the race begins place your Bronze Timelock Icon Bronze Timelock inside the building. As you hit the penultimate checkpoint use the ability to avoid needing to navigate inside the building at the end.
  • Advanced Only: You should have more than enough Vigor Icon Vigor during this race to just spam Surge Forward Icon Surge Forward for the entire race.

  • Advanced Only: There are plenty of Vigor Icon Vigor nodes throughout the race but you will need to collect a couple out of the way ones to maintain Thrill of the Skies Icon Thrill of the Skies. There is one just after the fourth checkpoint to the right of it above the rocks. There is another just as you reach the waterfall section directly below you.

  • Advanced Only: Good angles are necessary here to maintain speed and have Vigor Icon Vigor left over for the end of the race where there will be no Vigor nodes.
  • Advanced Only:Place your Bronze Timelock Icon Bronze Timelock down before you start the race to save a few seconds on the long descent to the finish checkpoint.
