Is it even possible to get a gold in scene 3? I'm beginning to think it's a bug. I've pushed my time down to 1:19 and [b]still[/b] have only a red medal.

Oh yeah,

The gold, silver or bronze medals have nothing to do with your time, sure it has to do with how dark you make the overall course!!! ;)

How dark are you? lol

I just realized u were talking about the timer medals, lol, nevermind!

Well hell you're doing better than me cause i can't get a gold timer medal in any course, lol!

You're very close, the silver is about 1:18. I've spent forever on this scene, so I agree there probably is a bug or some secret way to beat the level in a minute...

I got 53:93 in that scene, which did get me a gold medal.

There is a trick to it, but it's NOT a bug. In fact, it's clever enough that I won't be spoiling it any time soon.

my only guess is it could have been a secret way to open the door. My best time was 1:10 :(

I'm compiling a movie of my game path, but I don't want to post it right now for the same reason as LittleMy. I don't intend to actually compete in any more contests as I've already won one, but I don't want to immediately give away some of the tricks I've learned.

By the way LM, you put up a great fight. I got cocky/lucky.

Found it ;)

I'll wait for the LeaderMan PM before I post my new time (just in case there's a glitch, seeing as how only one score per player is on the board).

Contest is over now.... DO tell. PLEASE?

Personally, my reluctance to spoil the trick has nothing to do with either the contest or the leaderboards. The Grimm episodes thus far have been very straight-forward: this level is the exception to that rule. I feel it would be a shame to spoil the fun involved in discovering the trick for oneself.

Not that I or someone else won't eventually post the answer: I just would rather people get a chance to try to find it on their own (and, if necessary, eventually cry uncle) before anyone gives it away.

Hint then?

I've played through it probably 20-30 times now, and I can't break 1:19. I've tried changing up the order I'm doing the initial areas and then breezing through the middle.

I've messed around trying to trigger the bell without going 2/3 of the way up the staircase (that'd save around 10-15 seconds there).

Hint on WHERE I should be looking?

Mostly I suggest exploring. Take some time to try getting to difficult-to-reach places. Try things that seem pointless. Take a leap of faith and see where it takes you. You'll find it soon enough.

Awesome. Thanks for the tip.

Hey h3lix, I was feeling under the weather last Monday, actually all week, and realized I forgot to congratulate you on your win when I congratulated the winner in tonight's tourney. Man, you came out of nowhere if I remember right. Great Job!

Thanks! Well done taking back the #1 all time spot...4:40 pretty much settles it.

I actually built up my score for the entire week leading up to the tourney and I was thinking about "sniping" at the last minute, but then I thought that would be sleazy.
