Here's how to beat Stray in under 2 hours for the I am Speed trophy (speedrun guide).
Trophies in Stray are actually easy to get if you know where to look for them. Most of the trophies are automatically achieved once you play normally, and you need to only focus on the ones with collectible and specific items like one including a trash bag and the other with a basketball. But one of the trophies called “I am Speed” requires you to beat the game in 2 hours or less. Many players are having trouble with this. But today I will tell you the easiest way to do this, plus some tips & tricks to help you. So let’s look at our Stray Speedrun Guide on how to beat Stray in under 2 hours for the I am Speed trophy.
The easiest way to beat Stray completely in under 2 hours for the I am Speed trophy is by playing the game simultaneously on two of your save slots. Okay I know it sounds confusing, but let me explain. See Stray does not require you to finish the entire game in one go. You will notice that, when you pause your game, the timer also stops. Plus the game supports an autosave feature, which activates during periodic checkpoints like a cutscene, starting a new chapter, or when you complete an objective or task in an area. Using this save slot timer & autosave feature is your best way to unlock this speedrun trophy in Stray. Here’s what you have to do:
First of all, my initial speedrun took me just under the time at 1:58 hrs, but I did a lot of mistakes in mine. My first mistake was not running the game simultaneously on 2 save slots. Just to be clear, I finish the entire game once in about 8 hours of exploring everything its world has to offer. Then trying to speedrun the game after a couple of days was like scrambling that 8 hours of combined playthrough memories to find the best shortcuts to finish this run.
Also, the 2 slot method takes away almost half of the guesswork and removes every bit of FOMO. That constant tension of “Will I make it? Will I make it?” was not hopefully the way for many players who don’t want to risk another speedrun if this fails. Do not repeat my mistake. Trust me this method is way better. At the end of the day, you should pick the method you like. Do you prefer the thrill of the final reward, or just taking it smooth? But no matter what, just remember you can still beat Stray in under 2 hours easily.
