8. Broken Age Speedrun Walkthrough

At this point, the only achievement that you should need is the one for completing the game in under an hour (and the one for unlocking all of the others, of course). For this one, you will need to start a brand new save and complete Act 1, Act 2 and the Finale in less than 60 minutes. Here are a few tips to bear in mind before you start your run.

1) The 60 minutes only includes the time while you are playing the game. Loading times and paused gameplay don't count. If you're stuck on a puzzle or can't remember where you need to go next, pause the game to read the walkthrough because you won't be penalised for this.

2) Make frequent manual saves, particularly before puzzles that require skill and timing to get them right. If you make a mistake and take too much time on a puzzle, such as the crane game, reload the save file and try again. You can reload saves and replay sections as many times as you like to get a good run before you move on.

3) Don't click on any items that are not mentioned in the steps below. These just add unnecessary time and interactions to your playthrough. Similarly, don't select any unnecessary conversation options for the same reason. While the 60-minute run is definitely possible, the time limit isn't generous enough to allow for a lot of extra steps.

4) Skip dialogue and cutscenes. If you listen and watch everything that goes on, there's no way that your save will clock in at under 60 minutes. There are some cutscenes and conversations that can't be skipped -- I'll mention these as we go on.

5) When travelling from location to location, be sure to double click on the transition arrows. This means that you don't have to watch the characters walking/running across the screen and it saves a lot of time.

As a guideline, these are the ideal times for getting through each section. Create a manual save at the start of each section and turn off autosaves so that if you ever exceed the time limits for any of these sections, this will allow you to replay them without losing any of your progress in earlier sections.

Act 1 Shay: 8-12 minutes

Act 1 Vella: 9-13 minutes

Act 2 Shay: 9-13 minutes

Act 2 Vella: 12-15 minutes

Finale: 4-5 minutes

TOTAL: 42-58 minutes

The guide below is a simple itemised list of the actions that you need to complete to get through the game. I won't be using too much detail as this should be your second playthrough. If this is your first playthrough, I really recommend that you first use the walkthrough that starts on page three.

ACT 1: SHAY

• Click on the orb with Shay's Dad in it. When Shay's Mom has appeared, click on Shay's blanket to trigger a cutscene.

As soon as you regain control of Shay, whilst the Space Weaver is preparing to transport the ship, return through the vent into Marek's Hub.

However, the cutscene that begins when Vella wakes up on the beach is *NOT SKIPPABLE*, so you'll have to watch this one. You'll regain control when you are asked to pick a character again. Pick Shay.
• If you are creating a manual save for the start of each part of the act, do not make a save file until after you have spoken to Shay's Dad. Otherwise you will have to watch the last cutscene again and it will add 2 minutes to your time.
