Neversong – Speed Demon Achievement

Speed Demon Achievement

Before We Get Started

The first thing you will need to get this achievement is the songs from beating the bosses in your first play through of the game. The songs will allow you to start with all of the gear. Bat, Board, Gloves and most importantly your Umbrella.

Song List (If this is your first play through I suggest you dont use these as it will ruin your experience)

• C G C G B
• B C D A E
• B B D E A
• A G F E D

The second thing you need is to learn how to Umbrella Boost as normal movement will not allow you to reach the goal of completion under 1 hour.

The final thing you need is a planned path to take, I will be sharing mine and I will start off by saying it may not be the fastest route but it worked for me so im sharing it. Ive tried different ways to skip bosses but it appears as though you cannot enter the final boss without obtaining all the songs during a play through by beating ALL bosses plus the song in Red Wind village.

The Umbrella Boost

If you are on your skateboard and jump then pull out your umbrella while holding a direction, you get a nice speed boost forwards. You also get epic boosts off hanging orange bombs by swinging fast, releasing and then quickly opening your Umbrella but I will explain the skateboard one more detailed below.

How to:

• Be on a skateboard (B default) *Moving or still, does not matter
• Jump (A default)
• Hold a direction left or right and Jump again to pull out the umbrella

You can also maintain or increase your speed by landing on the skateboard and repeating the trick again.

The Run (Part 1)

• After you wake up the first thing you do is play the 4 songs and grab all of your gear. Grab the top ones first then the bottom ones and right away you can start Umbrella boosting to get out of attic and skateboard down the stairs.
• Once leaving the house head east, the second you hit the flat concrete you can again start Umbrella boosting through town.
• Stop at the last house before the waterfalls, enter the house and grab the song.
• Once leaving the house head east, smash through the boxes.
  – Leave Red Wind village

-Enter Red Wind field

• Get Bird out of her cage.
• Stop at Simeon stuck in the pipe, talk to him and he will ask you to grab a needle to pop him, continue east.
• Once you enter the next frame your first chance to use Umbrella Boost with the hanging orange bomb comes up, USE IT.
• Boost over to the GAP where you can fall using the above mentioned bomb, im sure its possible to make it over the gap in one shot from there but if needed use more bombs + Umbrella Boost to skip past the enemies and traverse faster.
• IGNORE THE NEEDLE that Simeon asked you to grab for now. (DO NOT pick it up)
  -Leave Red Wind field

-Enter Neverwood Cemetery

• Use the first bomb to boost up on the ledge and enter the room with Gomtoddler.
• After his text kill the 4 baddies in the room to unlock the next room.
• In the next room start off by jumping on the wooden crate to the moving platform then to the area where the fireplace is.
• Kill the baddies in that area as they can be rather annoying to deal with in the future and carry on east to the cut scene with Mr. Smile.
• Continue east and jump on the bookshelf in the area with baddies and jump to the ledge on the west side.

• You will now use the bomb to blow up the blocks and once that is done go smash the cage containing the grown up.
• After leaving the treehouse heading west you want to head east as soon as possible so I jump off the first ledge you come to and pull out my Umbrella and glide east. You should land near the first grown up that you smashed.
• Get up to the area where the tombstones and wooden crate is, smash the wooden crate.
• Jump up and cut off the bomb and use it to blow up the blocks.
• In this next area there is nothing special I do except for kill the baddie that is up top near the cage because he can really mess up the bomb placement. Anyway do this room how you want and smash the cage containing the grown up.
