Haste: How To Beat Shard 10 (No Items, No Damage, Perfect Landings Only, S-Rank Only)

My name does not matter. What does matter is that I am one of, if not the first person to achieve the following three achievements in this game. Even Steam itself cannot fathom my skill, as it still says that nobody has these achievements… but I do.

Thank you for asking.

As you can see below, it takes much skill and dedication to be able to achieve such a feat.
You see, I find meditation to be the most helpful.
You must look deep inside yourself [Settings] and take away all of your stress [Obstacles].
Only then can you experience the true bliss necessary for a feat such as this.

Of course not.
However, if you follow these steps, you will be on the right path.

1. Go to “Settings” in either the title screen or the hub pause menu.

2. Click on “Difficulty” Tab.

3. Set “Obstacles” and “Damage Taken” to zero. Congrats, you are now immortal (except for pits).

4. Set “Speed” to a very low non-zero number.
(Setting it to zero will cause all of your Ranks to be E. I set mine to 10%)

5. Set Landing Precision to ~15%
(Setting it too low will cause you to stick to the ground more, which will make gaining height for the final boss too difficult. I set mine to 15%, which still allowed all my landings to be Perfect.)

6. Equip that old woman’s Cowl
(Its ability to ascend is perfect for the hectic landscape of the final boss.)

Congratulations! Through much training and hardship, you have now acquired the skills necessary to beat Shard 10 flawlessly!

Some more quick tips from yours truly for those going for the achievements:

• Remember to avoid Hard stages, which automatically give you an item at the end.
• Also avoid Mystery spots, as they may reward you with an item, or may take some health.
• It is fine to run into obstacles, as no health is lost. I’d still avoid them as they hurt me emotionally.
• Timer on the final boss doesn’t start until the first machine is broken. Take time to build up energy and speed. I like to skip the closest machine from the spawn and instead destroy the one slightly further on the left first , then zig-zag in-and-out clockwise until I finish at the machine near spawn again.
• Use the Sage’s Cowl sparingly! It’s your only lifeline from all of the pits at the final boss.
