    The title says it all i'm on an aweseom 1:35 run with no pick ups and I can't escape the exploding room cause I starting health and starting armor! Does anyone know if theres any patterns to the explosions? Also If I were to lower the difficulty to take less damage would I still rank on the leaderboards?

    Nevermind got it. PRO TIP if your going for a speed run with no collectibles at the exploding room section let the cutscene play don't skip! You'll see why! Ohh also faster time for Shadow Complex for me now is......1:42:00!!!

    Yeah, I think if you skip that cutscene you sort of get stuck at first and it ends up taking you too long to get out of that first room. When I skipped the cutscene I was barely able to make it out even when I was on Casual.

    @Chaser324: Yah I was banging my head with that over and over again to so much it probally added like 10 minutes to my run! Mind if I add you on live man? I need people to compare to and I saw on another thread you have a 1:35:00 run.

    @and333:  Hey I am playing through on my first game still and I just escaped that room and got outside safely but didn't pick up one of the pieces of armor that is on the way out. Well now I can't get back into that whole hallway area because it's full of exploded debris. Do you know if there is any way for me to still get that piece of the armor or do I have to start over to get it? 
     
    (I think I'm talking about the same area as you, lol)

    god dammit! I wasted a lot of time collecting all my other items then I guess. Whatever, I was gonna play through it a few more times anyways so I guess it's not a problem. I just wanted that 100% achievement sooner rather than later.    :P

    @JJWeatherman: Totally agree I went into the game saying my first run was gonna be my 100% run, and that didn't happen. The game so good tho i didn't mind really.

    @and333: Go ahead and add me. My G/T is Chaser324 just like my GiantBomb handle.
     
    @JJWeatherman: Yeah unfortunately, you're out of luck and will have to start over to get 100%. I'm in the same boat as you though as I ended up with 99% on my first go at 100% as well and have yet to go back and retry.

    I managed to listen to a podcast last night (i think it was the IGN: Three Red Lights one) and with an interview with the lead guy from Chair they stated that a 33 minutes completion at 4% is quite easily possible, anyone got any ideas how they could do that?

    Looks like that would do the trick.

    @Babble: Yeah that guide that Cloneslayer and I did should get you through the game very quickly (if you can do it without messing up) and with only 3% items collected.
