Thanks for the youtube video I'll be watching that on my spare time before buying the game.

ok I'm at the last save with a time of 1:28:20, I'm cutting it close XD probably wasn't a good idea to get the lightsaber.......

Probably not, but I think it's doable! You'll have to be really quick in the last section though and make it through flawlessly. No room for mistakes at all! Remember the last cutscene + credits are approx. 10 minutes.

Currently saved at the windmill with a total time of 22:32. I had to go for it since the next section would have made me start all the way back at the graveyard more than a handful of times.

So far it seems doable, but there are definitely moments of frustration due to the controls and camera screwing you over a little.

probably would've made it if I didn't go for the watermelon ending, oh well try 2. The Ico plat will be my 5000th trophy

Haha, you did that too? xD Oh well, better to give it another go and make a better run! Try to land around 01:20:xx when saving at the Main Gate before the last section. You should have more than enough to get it then!

I have a save right before the lightsaber part so if I can't make this work I have a back up.

Edit: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUU-

-UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YES!

5000th Trophy and 80th platinum

aww crap I'm at water tower w/ 1:16:21

also got lightsaber, figured it would pay for itself in saved time down the road... guess not - ive also been saving more but man! there is ZERO room for error here. aside from saving more ive been mostly tight... not 1:32 insane youtube tight, but reasonably so (i thought)

ah well, guess i'll just avoid dying and get the platinum some other time, im not gonna do a 3rd run as SotC is beckoning (first time playing either)

The lightsaber is good but you shouldn't need to fight anything on your speedrun, and if you do, the sword would be sufficient. And yes, there's nearly no room for error and you'll need to refine your steps. It just takes a little patience
