Awesome walkthrough! =D This one seems to be one of the hardest levels for me to finish without even dying once, particularly with the pipe triplet near where Jacknife fell.
At the beginning, you can jump on top of that yellow thing and then wallrun/coil jump over the fence. It's pretty hard and doesn't save much time, but ever second counts :p When running along walls, wallrun and jump in quick successions. You will speed up dramatically. The view on 1:21... On the screen, stand on the bottom left corner of that board. When it falls, you will go all the way down with it and land on a corner right near the button. The helicopter will still be shooting at you, but
A minor gameplay tip to up your right by a few seconds: when you're wall running to a pipe, jump off the wall immediately before grabbing it and Faith will start climbing immediately without the couple seconds of stun.
Did anybody else notice that when you're coming up the second stromdrain when you get out, as you're being raised up if you look at the callaghan building to your right, there's a rooftop part on the left of it, and on there is jacknife before you see him in the next part :)
The trick is to get to the end as fast as possible. But then you realize how important living is and that counts more than getting through as fast as possible. It's like self awareness in the big parkour stunts. .3.
when you're about to jump in the giant well, instead of jumping to the platform you can jump to one of the swinging poles on the left to cut out alot of time
Jacknife kills me inside. There's no limit to the times I've imitated this video to the letter, without dying and still finding myself so late. My fastest time is 11:31. I can't even do that first jump!! The fact that there hasn't been an update to stop the timer on the console version infuriates me. I waste at LEAST a good 43 seconds waiting for those doors to open. And the most random B.S. happens too. It kills me that even when I do everything right and fast, it still doesn't even come CLOSE.
@BlueStarFlower it's only the pc version that pauses the timer. you might get past it on the consoles by pausing the game and waiting until the rest of the level has loaded... hope this helps
with the doors i found out a trick when you press the buytton with the doors pause the game for 15-20 seconds and the unpause the doors should open immeaditly after you unpause
it is worth it. Oh whoops I meant 1:41. Sorry. Back to the criticism :P At 8:08 you can just jump over the fence. At 8:13, you can turn left on the platform and just climb up onto that building. At 8:54, it's possible (but very hard) to sidestep on that air vent and actually JUMP to the next building. You can skip all of the pipe climbing crap. It's very hard to pull off though :(
When were these routes put into the game? 1:462:333:354:367:35 Skip the ladder? 2:42 No need for violence 3:516:44 End with a little slice of badassery 9:22
Nice! The music works really well, too. I'm working on my technique, and I picked up a lot of tricks from this. i did already know some of them, at least, so I don't feel completely inept. :)
The way you are going down the drains is the way I originally did it. Didnt realise there was a "safe" way until I started doing runs. BTW, time doesnt pause on second drain door, at least not on 360. Must be a PC thing.
WTF! Why did the clock stop when you opened the second and third stormdrains. In the console version you have to wait like 20 seconds for the second one to open. They should really patch this in to the console versions if they made this change in the PS version...!
Daniel Hindes Ah okay, then that is completely up to you. I was just curious because I thought it'd be cool, but if you don't feel like it, it is up to you my dude. Have a great day!
the jump at 8:50 pisses me off. You stop cuz you run into the thing but she doesn't grab it and it ruins your damn time. Don't know if its like that on the PC though I have Xbox 360 version. On xbox you are also slowed down just by the slowness of the controller.
Man,is this a joke or something? When I play and open the Safe Doors,the timer is still running and it wastes at least 16 seconds. Plus,the wall where you climb up in the drainage(the one where the snipers come out) is very small and I can't wall jump or wall run! I can't beat this Qualification time limit! Which version of the game is this? I have the PAL one.

I stumbled upon this video by accident but i'm glad I did
its cool watching other people play this game and the different paths they take. everyone does it differently.
Awesome video. I've been having trouble with this level. Thanks for uploading. It's going to prove to be really useful.

WHOA. I agree. Waiting for the second storm drain door to open takes about 15 to 20 seconds for me.

geez if my timer stopped like that at 2:52 i could get 8 minutes flat on this speedrun

is like watching a snick pick of salt
that wuzz actually quite g00d
Smooth, man! I love the way you handle the way down the first waterdrain cylinder.
Oh wow, a great run that's well complimented by the music.
nice
those are some good slo mo scenes
Some people get great at this game. I just got it. Have to try harder to do that! That was insane!
Nice video! The added film score fits perfectly too! Especially the nice ending after 9:22 :D
@BlueStarFlower it's only the pc version that pauses the timer. you might get past it on the consoles by pausing the game and waiting until the rest of the level has loaded... hope this helps
It also stops in other places for you... Only stops for me in elevators
Gah! I hate that door at 2:57. It always glitches on me and wont open T.T Awesome run!
with the doors i found out a trick when you press the buytton with the doors pause the game for 15-20 seconds and the unpause the doors should open immeaditly after you unpause
One of the best trailers I've ever seen. When's the movie?
it is worth it. Oh whoops I meant 1:41. Sorry. Back to the criticism :P At 8:08 you can just jump over the fence. At 8:13, you can turn left on the platform and just climb up onto that building.

look back through the comments, he answered that.
When were these routes put into the game? 1:46 2:33 3:35 4:36 7:35 Skip the ladder? 2:42 No need for violence 3:51 6:44 End with a little slice of badassery 9:22
this mission is SOOS hard on speed run. it's so long, meaning you gotta keep your act togheter for such a long time
Nice! The music works really well, too. I'm working on my technique, and I picked up a lot of tricks from this. i did already know some of them, at least, so I don't feel completely inept. :)
@ThePhotoshop Doesn't it suck that all the top times are by super people
The way you are going down the drains is the way I originally did it. Didnt realise there was a "safe" way until I started doing runs. BTW, time doesnt pause on second drain door, at least not on 360. Must be a PC thing.
Intense! Good run.
9:24 epic scene =P
You're very good.
The music fits the game ;)
"How you did the first jump over the fence? I have the xbox version "
It is possible, but I dont know what I did different when I managed to do it :S
@4400seriesFAN yeah, i have the same problem with the safe doors...:/
When you open that main gate in the drains your clock stops until it opens. When I do it the clock doesn't stop!! WTF?
lol first time i done this i went down the middle
That's a myth. I've never gotten it to work. The door opens when the one behind you closes.
Your good at mirrors edge
WOW. And I thought I was quite good at Mirror's Edge hahaha!! :)
How did you get the timer to stop will you were waiting for the door in the storm drains?
dude i feel u that happened to me but i just made it in at 10:57. dam glitchy ass polls
heh... you don't even have to jump/roll, you can actually go straight into the wall run from the slide if you time it right
man how do you do that jump over the barbed wire at the start!?
i ve tried like ten times and got it twice :(
I was11 milliseconds from the achievement ;( I would have made it, weren't it for that she failed to grab one of the pipes at the end of the level.
WTF! Why did the clock stop when you opened the second and third stormdrains. In the console version you have to wait like 20 seconds for the second one to open. They should really patch this in to the console versions if they made this change in the PS version...!
Do you know you can just hop the fences? XD
@Pearce19666 yeah me too
My time is like 3 hours and 17 minutes.
How you did the first jump over the fence? I have the xbox version
how do you get over that start fence cuz its so hard.
You ever gonna do Mirrors Edge Catalyst speed runs?
Probably not unfortunately! I enjoyed a lot of the game but I just didn't feel an urge to do speedrun attempts.
Daniel Hindes Ah okay, then that is completely up to you. I was just curious because I thought it'd be cool, but if you don't feel like it, it is up to you my dude. Have a great day!
Thanks, you too!
I don't understand why in your game at 2:54 the time freeze and in my game on xbox go on....like this I lost time....
same for me
the jump at 8:50 pisses me off. You stop cuz you run into the thing but she doesn't grab it and it ruins your damn time. Don't know if its like that on the PC though I have Xbox 360 version.
On xbox you are also slowed down just by the slowness of the controller.
how the hell did u jump that first fence...i did it once by luck, wot buttons did u press
Man,is this a joke or something?
When I play and open the Safe Doors,the timer is still running and it wastes at least 16 seconds.
Plus,the wall where you climb up in the drainage(the one where the snipers come out) is very small and I can't wall jump or wall run!
I can't beat this Qualification time limit!
Which version of the game is this?
I have the PAL one.
*PC version
Thank for me is 10.15 pfiou ^^
@dreamera1 It's slower :P
How the fuck did you do that thing at the very beginning? Shouldn't that kill you? O_o
Smooth, man! I love the way you handle the way down the first waterdrain cylinder.
