Recently, my drive and ability for getting PlatinumQuest awesome times/scores has gone way up. Now that my PlatinumQuest stats screen is at the halfway point of 69/138 awesome times (nice 😂🤣), I figured it was a good point to record all of my current awesome times and put them into a video!
"Awesome Times" are the hardest set of challenge times in PlatinumQuest. Over the last few months, I've grinded many hours and my skills have improved substantially to the point where I'm able to grind out times that I never thought I'd be able to. Special thanks to petalflurry for their various videos, Doomblah for her PQ rampage, IsraeliRD/Regislian for the original awesome time guide, and the whole community for the PQ world record rampage. These videos have been amazing sources of strategies and paths and I wouldn't have achieved these times without them.
This video contains all of my hunt awesome scores as of November 8th, 2022 (and is still accurate as of uploading). The rankings are accurate as of exporting the video a few hours ago. A video of my non-hunt awesome times can be found here: • My PlatinumQuest Aweso...
Enjoy!
A few notes:
Though most of the rrecs play back fine, Platinum Construction Co. has a pretty big spot where the marble appears to be stuck in a cannon for a bit. I tried replaying that rrec but the result was the same every time :/ It fixes itself after two gem spawns, so whatever.
I recorded it at 1080p rather than 1440p after a quick community poll. More people preferred 1080 over 1440 since the UI is easier to read, and I agree. Also, while I've been frequently playing with the radar turned off, for hunt levels I keep the gem radar turned on.
For anyone who would like to see my rrec files, they are available here: thearst3rd.com/dl/pq-rrecs/
