ULTIMATE hand eye coordination challenge - Complete 100 hurdles in Perplexus Beast in ONE go

A few months ago I picked up a Perplexus Beast, a dexterity challenge puzzle in a plastic sphere shape. It looks really cool and when it arrived it was slightly larger than I expected.
The "Beast" is the medium difficulty level as I decided to skip the basic level, having full confidence that my hand-eye coordination is pretty good and should be able to take the challenge.... and of course I was very wrong, again.
The goal was to move the sphere around, so that the metal ball bearing inside can travel pass all the hurdles and reach the end, the 100th hurdle. Finishing the puzzle with its provided "check points" was already quite difficult, at 26th and 59th hurdle. But my ultimate goal was to complete this in one take from one to one hundred. Sounds easy but I can tell you it is pretty extreme for me. The frustration hits quite frequently with this puzzle.
It took me around 3 months to practice and play with it on and off for more than 10 hours to nail all the moves without hiccups. Then realising to film it whilst solving added more stress to the already quite stressful challenge, taking me more time to capture the whole run in 1 video. See if you can spot where I had to combine two clips where my camera overheated....
Hopefully this video captured the ball bearing well enough. I had and idea before which was to use a macro lens to capture the ball bearing in close-up, but then I think that will take even more time to find the camera angles AND completing the actual puzzle. Maybe a later time....
I also found a few short cuts to complete the puzzle, e.g. a simple jump from 15th to 100th etc. Anyway, I asked myself if I will get the Epic which is another level up with 140 hurdles, but I guess not for now....

I saw that cut at 62 1:44 , that part is hardest

Way to gooooooo!!!! Respect, bro!

[@downtimefun]

I did it! If you remember what we chatted about a few months back. Didn't expect to take this long 😂

[@GregGelf24]

@@downtimefun of course I do, I was waiting for it since then

[@LockPickingCuber]

Wow -- that's impressive! I used to have one of those, and never got anywhere near completing it...

[@downtimefun]

Other than dexterity, it is an excellent challenge to one's patience, you should do it too!

my perplexus experience played,
- is nice toy for us to get focus & mind blowing, so can tap finger for make it ball shaking.
- 58 is scary for 1st time because the ball suddenly disappear inside hole but actually is jump to 61.
- number 61 for 2nd row can shake a bit for jump straight to 100.
- 76 to get 77 must balance faster.
- 30 also faster a bit to skip 31.
- 32 is awesome through 34 to get scoop 35.
- 39 can straight skip to 87 if go faster downhill.
- 90 also go fast straight to 92.
- 98 dangerous jump to 99.
- 99 is no hold for ball.
- for 1st time i thought 3rd row is the last for final stage 66 middle.

wow, great analysis! I had the biggest trouble with 66 when dropping into the bucket. Not sure if its my puzzle not well aligned or just me, but it kept falling out of the bucket when landing.
98 to 99 is crazy when the pressure is on and you know you are so close to the end!
I found that there is a easy jump from step 15 to 100 directly :P. but that defeats the whole point...
How many hours did you put in before you can complete from 1 to 100 in one go?
maybe I should get the next level up?!

[@W.D.I.G.M.I.Tanner]

Great Job!! I need to solve mine

[@downtimefun]

It's fun, but a test of patience after 15 Mins of failing and failing 😉

[@PuzzlingTime]

Nice work. I love solving mine. I have Original, Beast and Rebel.

[@downtimefun]

It's a lot more fun than expected! Frustrating at times especially whilst filming. But the sense of satisfaction is certainly there!

[@irinkkka]

У меня есть такой же, но подделка. Я очень долго проходила его, и непрерывно его пройти практически невозможно

[@downtimefun]

I tried playing with some replicas but the quality makes them non solvable sometimes

[@DomPuzzles]

Well done. How long did you practice?👍

[@downtimefun]

Too long to admit, maybe 10 hours?

[@RichoWoodworking]

I asked for one of these for Christmas. Won't be doing a video though. People don't want to see a guy struggle through this and then throw it against the wall or on the floor. Right?

[@downtimefun]

It maybe good content 😜, this one is certainly frustrating, yet fun and satisfying in the end!

[@theperegrinator8007]

呢條片NG咗幾多次呢？呵呵呵！

[@downtimefun]

數唔到，太多次了。鏡頭前更加難。😭
