Booty Bay Blast Reverse: Gold

I found this one hard at first, because I kept running into the second oil platform.
I was able to get past it by using Skyward Ascent while going through the ring beforehand so that I had already ascended to the correct height before reaching the rigging. I think I was originally using Ascent too late and was moving upwards through the rigging which crashed me into it. Another way to get past it is by just using Surge Forward so you have a little more control.

The forest part was harder on Reverse than Advance as well. I managed to avoid most of the trees, but it's a bit of a challenge. Good luck all!

This is another gold that you can get by only using Surge Forward. I also found it easier to set my graphics to 1 in order to help with the tree clutter, and I got all vigor orbs and also skimmed the ground when I could for extra vigor. I hit the edges of the rings, when they didn't have a vigor orb, closet toward the next ring, or if close to the ground, toward the bottom to skim. I did the skimming mostly over the lower water rings in the beginning. I also tried to always use Surge Forward when heading upward. At the end, I spammed Surge Forward for the last ascent.

This took a few tries to get just right, and it was another one I would consistently get 1 or 2 seconds too slow until one run I got it just right and was around 3-4 seconds over what was required for the gold. I tried to Surge Forward before most rings unless it was a tough spot for me, or I didn't need to as I was heading down and had the blue glow under my dragon, in general.

I hope this helps.

Using Skyward Ascent while going through the ring before the second oil platform work brilliantly for me, shaving quite a few seconds off my times before, thank you!
