I think you should have to shoot onto it for consistency, its far faster without have to do that because you don't have to sail all the way around and landing on the statue takes more skill. And if I was doing this tale I wouldn't want to have to start the tale go open the room then go back and restart just to save time, its just easier if everyone always has to shoot over to the statue.

I dont think they are time sensitive, they have achievements and commendations attached to them.

The only problem I have is doing the fly glitch, been trying for a couple days off and on. Ive done a couple runs but without doing the fly glitch, but I feel like its kind of a waste of time to try again, besides learning the route better of coarse.

So I just saw the google spread sheet for tips and glitches in the resource section, I feel dumb but I'll leave this post here for others that were unaware as well. Derp.

So I was looking on youtube for the fly glitch and there's a ton of different ways for different patches. Whats the best method as far as easiest and most consistent to do, noob question I know but gotta start somewhere.

So I've been trying to figure this out and I'm getting no where, is it really just jumping with gun out and mashing LB and R3? Does this work on Xbox? Am I missing something obvious?

Edit: Oh, I just read the other thread about uninstalling the patches first. Its super easy now, derp.
