Most of the time that players feel sick to their stomachs in Dying Light 2, it has something to do with the gore. Hearing a bone crack after hitting it with a bat or seeing a limb get cut off with a machete. Or perhaps gamers might get queazy when they jump over a chasm and just barely reach the other side.
There is a case to be made that one of the most belly-churning missions occurs when Aiden is asked to deliver sausages that are right on the verge of going bad. Doing so saves the man from the death sentence, but he'll have to be fast or else the NPCs of Dying Light 2 will put him on the menu.
Optimal Path And Times
There are many players who have the best parkour skills in the game and can complete this course with different routes. This guide was specifically made so that anybody at any level can snag the gold. For those who see a shortcut they can take with their new skills, feel free to deviate.
Checkpoint 1 - 0:13
Sometimes the game throws out a red herring and the closest point is not the most ideal one. The game likes to give players opportunities to execute a bunch of tough maneuvers and level up parkour fast. In this case, though, the first one is too easy not to take. Slide down the roof and make two simple jumps to snag the objective.
From here's it's going to be a counterclockwise path to get the checkpoints, starting with the one on the right.
Checkpoint 2 - 0:45
Go straight toward the waypoint and jump down to a rooftop with vegetation on it. Cross the light bridges and hop up to the rooftop on the opposing side.
Continue to go straight for the second point.
Though players will have to drop down, don't take the first area on the left. It has a tempting mattress on it for safe falls, but the path zigs and zags too much. Instead, jump to one more rooftop, go past the windows, and plop down on the roof of the next house.
A truck offers a handy bridge between the current rooftop and the next one. Then, use the ramp, make a jump, and do two pull-ups to arrive at the second checkpoint.
Checkpoint 3 - 1:01
Taking the tightrope on the right side isn't a good idea for two reasons. First, Aiden moves slower on this running area. Second, it's a less direct way than just jumping on the rooftop and going toward the third checkpoint.
There is a cage for Aiden to hop up on but it has a scary-looking hurdle on top of it. At full speed, players can make it to the other side, but beware of falling. It's a great way to find zombies and gain lots of combat experience in a hurry, but a very bad way to get the gold on this course.
Checkpoint 4 - 1:24
Although a ramp further down on this rooftop seems like the easy choice, there is a large structure that Aiden will have to go around.
Jump straight down right before this structure blocks progress, the leap is plenty makeable without the assistance of a ramp (which can actually be a hindrance since the elevated height can make Aiden stumble on the landing).
Jump onto a yellow ramp on the next rooftop. Players who have already beaten the Nightrunner Trial II parkour course will recognize this area; it's the start of that course and the checkpoint is in the same spot! As with that event, jump on the yellow beam and then go up the slanted part of the roof to get to the point.
Checkpoint 5 - 2:29
Going straight for the point here means falling to the earth. There is more than enough time on the clock to be careful when following this guide, so look to the right first and see a jutting rooftop that is just within Aiden's reach. Jump on that and then head toward the finish line.
A thin metal bridge will allow Aiden to get to the other side of the street and stay elevated. Climbing is usually discouraged during these speed challenges, but the brick wall on the right has some excellent holds that don't slow Aiden down too much. Climb up this surface and return to following the final blue waypoint.
There is an opening in the fence and another wall to climb, but this is unnecessary time to take. Look carefully on the left and find a slight ledge to hop on to. From here, carefully hustle to the next rooftop and book it toward the fifth checkpoint, there is a stretch with no tricks for several meters.
There is one final trick that this course has for Aiden. To get to the top and reach the fifth point, players will need to use a window sill for help climbing. The right two windows are open, however, and that means Aiden will accidentally enter this structure instead of climbing it. The left window is the correct one to take. Scurry up to the top and win the race!
