In Chained Together, getting Lava Mode involves a sharp understanding of time management in extreme climbing challenges. Many users on Steam Community, Reddit, and other forums are discussing it.
Here’s what the Steam community has found about the time dynamics in this Lava mode.
Estimates from Players
Players suggest that completing Lava Mode within 1 hour 30 minutes is a reasonable goal. Faster runs, like finishing in 58 minutes, still leave much time, pointing to a safe window of 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes.
Mathematical Understanding
At 100 meters, the lava moves at 0.0411 minutes per meter, counting around 2.5 hours of climbing time.
At 500 meters, the speed decreases to 0.024 minutes per meter, providing about 1.46 hours of climbing time. These calculations are approximate and can vary based on factors like using wings or taking shortcuts.
