Cappell to the Resue: Doable on Easy?

[G315T]

Is Cappell to the Rescue doable on easy?


Just to make sure I understand it... if my save game played time is "2:10", I have until "2:22" to get back and open the third door if I follow the route in the video and on the map in the guide?

I get the first two guards (I open the two that are furthest away, first) out np... but I can't seem to get upstairs, get both keys, and back, before the third one is missing from his cell. Am I just going to slow?

First off, you can get it on any difficulty, tsk for doing easy though ;) All that means is a 4th playthrough you don't need.

Open them in the order you come to them... so open the 2 on the near side first. And yes you do have 12 mins to save the third one

Something like that.

Yes, it's doable on easy, and it doesn't take too long to get there from a new game. I originally did this before the vouchers, but isn't it possible now to just buy the materials from Genma and have Edward make 2 keys? That might save you some time getting back to the 3rd prisoner.

Yeah. You can save some time by skipping the whole bit with Creepy Rico and the mouse and just dash all the way up, get the proper materials from Genma (who is upstairs also as the omnipresent guy that he is) and have Edward make two keys instead of just the one.

Yeah, I know. I'm playing through on Normal for the first time at the moment, and when I came to that section I screwed up the save. I started and Easy game to come back and snag that one, because the guide suggests not doing it on a difficulty harder than normal. I will (hopefully) get this achievement done and never look at the easy mode save files again.


EDIT: Got it my first try this morning. Skipping having to have Rico talk to the mouse made all the difference, I just had Edward make 2 keys instead of one and finished with ~3 mins to spare.

Ah, that's fair enough then. Although it is easily possible, I think I got it on Hard mode when I did it (it's a LOT harder on Infinity though, couldn't manage that for the Sit. Bonus)
