Oh, I see what you mean. Well, a speedrun in the death blader transform IS the only way to get ahead. And if you can't or, for some reason, won't, then I understand your frustration. But if you're not in a hurry, then my advise to you will be to start the day after. And if you are, gotta "run the clock". Sorry, but they made the game too easy as it is, imo.
I mean, I never had your problem, maybe I'm lucky, maybe it's something else.
