Lumière mourante 2 – Ultramarathon Achievement Guide

introduction

Ultramarathon is one of the hardest achievements to grind in Dying Light 2. There is very little information about it, and most guides are about using a controller and placing rubber bands on the joystick for the player to run infinitely while being idle.

But how do you achieve this legitimately without spending several hours on the game? D'abord’s needed to know what counts and what doesn’t when it comes to traveling, and how far the distance is for different activities. Activities from the DLC Bloody Ties has no part in this guide.

What counts:

• Sprint
• Dashing
• Natation
• Escalade
• Using lifts
• Using the elevator in the VNC Tower

What doesn’je ne compte pas:

• Chute
• Using the Paraglider
• Using Fast Travel
• Using Zip Lines
• Using the Grappling Hook

In order to see your current travel distance, head to the main menu and click on

Suppléments. Top right corner of the screen will show how much you’ve traveled in meters.

Prologue

Doing the prologue can give around 4780 mètres, which takes around 1 hour speed-running it.

Statistically re-playing the prologue around 201 times will result in 960 km travel distance.

Using The Lifts

Using lifts grants travel distance. je’ve estimated the distances for some lifts in Central Loop.

Parc de la Nouvelle Aube:
• West side of the Fish Eye
• South side of the Fish Eye
• East side of the Fish Eye
• North side of the Fish Eye
• Northwest side of the Fish Eye

Centre-ville:
• West of Artist Workshop (si c'est’s Survivor Territory)
• North of Downtown court metro station

≈ 67 mètresStatistically going up and down for all the lifts mentioned here will grant roughly 468 mètres, meaning it has to be done around 2051 times in order to get the achievement.

VNC Tower Elevator

Going up and down the elevator counts for distance travel. According to

[dyinglight.fandom.com]the VNC tower is 310 meters tall. However when I tested the distance, going from the PK outpost up to the roof granted me around

315 mètres. Going down from the PK outpost to the ground floor was around

45 mètres, meaning taking the elevator from the ground floor all the way up to the roof will be

360 mètreswhile standing still. This process also takes about 1 minute et 20 secondes. Walking around in the elevator can give around 510 mètres.

Statistically using the elevator, while standing still, will require about 2667 manèges (either up or down) which will take around 58 hours to do. Walking around during the ride will take 1882 rides and about 41 hours to do.

Jumping down from the VNC Tower

ne va pasgrant any travel distance.

Standing still:

Walking around:

Là’s also a possibility to climb up the VNC Tower instead, in case you enjoy parkour more than running around in the elevator.

See this video to see how:

When I climbed the VNC tower starting from the safe zone in the PK outpost, granted me about 1526 mètres which took around 14 minutes, however it is possible to do it faster.

Statistically it will take about 629 times to climb up the VNC tower and about 147 heures à réaliser 960 kilomètres.

Traveling Between Old Villedor and Central Loop

Traveling by foot between the two maps is a great way to farm travel distance. Depending on where you start, sprinting from Old Villedor to Central Loop by going through the metro as done during the

Laisser’s Waltz!quest will grant about

1,2 – 1,5 kilomètres. This can take more or less 5 minutes.

See this video that shows how to do it:

Parkour Challenges

Parkour Challenges were tricky to estimate the travel distances, cependant il’s estimated to give between

200 – 500 mètresper challenge, depending on the type of challenge.

Il y a 17 parkour challenges in the game, excluding Paraglider City Tour (where the paraglider is needed). Laisser’s say the average distance for the challenges are 250 mètres.

Statistically doing all these challenges more or less than 226 times will grant the achievement.

Conclusion

After this experiment, il’s safe to say that the most time saving method is riding the VNC Tower elevator and running around in it.

So when playing the game, keep in mind is that it’s good to climb up tall buildings, walking between the two maps and doing the challenges. Walking to each challenge and doing them will most likely give a larger number than what was mentioned in this guide, which only included doing the actual challenge, and not what’s in between.

A reminder that the numbers can be a little bit off since it was difficult to give perfect accurate distance estimations, but they are pretty accurate.

Thank you for reading this guide, j'espère que ça’s helpful. More stuff will probably be added in the future. All pictures are taken by me using photo mode.

Fait amusant, I learned that the going to sleep animation gives 2 mètres.
