A Challenge from Froakie Walkthrough
- Clear the First Course in 30 Seconds
- Clear the Second Course in 40 Seconds
- Clear the Third Course in 50 Seconds
Clear the First Course in 30 Seconds
After speaking to Surv, you will be able to take on the first scaffolding course. You will be given 30 seconds to reach the end of the course where Froakie is.
To complete the first challenge, head straight toward the ladder. When you reach the dead end, roll down to the platform below and aim for the barricade to avoid falling. Then climb the ladder to finish the challenge.
Clear the Second Course in 40 Seconds
After you clear the first course, Surv will move over to the next one. You will need to walk a short distance to get to the second course. Once you agree to take on the course, you will be given 40 seconds to reach the end.
The second challenge is straightforward, as you only need to walk along narrow ledges. Once you reach the last narrow path, however, you can roll forward instead of taking it to save time.
Clear the Third Course in 50 Seconds
The third course is the most difficult one to complete. You will be given 50 seconds to reach the end of the course.
