DCUO: Summit or Sorrow Paths
Unfortunately, there's no special trick in "Hope Burns Bright: Summit of Sorrow" solo mission for getting the Perfect Path run/feat. It is a run that you'll strive to get every time because it's not just a feat... it makes the daily mission significantly shorter. It's almost a 2x difference between the perfect run and all wrong. However, there are a few things worth knowing that can reduce a little bit of time:
- First, when the summit begins, the first 2 nodes are guaranteed blue and you can skip them to save a couple of minutes of combat. Just run... er... walk past both of them and either continue straight or turn right... either has equal chances at this point.
- The majority of the nodes work via conditional logic. If you come across a gray, then the adjacent one on the other path of the fork will be 100% blue.
- The 2 gray logos that have a blue glow on the map above are NOT at forks. If you pass either of these 2, the next one on the path will be 100% blue.
- Whenever there's a "V" shape in the path, you can save many seconds by cutting into the center and hopping up the rocks.
Each of those can shave a few seconds to minutes off a run... not super great, but every little bit helps here!
Tested details and ruled out:
- Skipping just the first node
- Skipping just the second node
- Direction the revived Blue Lanterns face
- Model type of NPC Blue Lanterns
- Dialogue of revived Blue Lanterns
- Speed
- Order of completion of the 1st boss fight (2 crystals)
