If you use the Corvette Z06, you could bypass Darius in the FIRST corner of the canyon! It's difficult but it works :P.

[@czlowiekdebi3301]

Dodge viper is good too :P

[@TheFunny15]

dejwid L Its hard with viper cuz he can just slam you out of his way xD. i had to try it lots of times cuz hes gonna slam u in the next corner and his car is heavier ^^

[@frankclemence1681]

AshNealer I agree with them. I overtook him more easily on the first corner with the Viper.

[@88sweethot]

dejwid L no its not

[@Csmeau4]

Tuners are just op on this canyon race. You might stuggle in the beginning because of sharp turns where tuners aren't actually that good, and straights where you're just not fast enough. But as soon as you leave the sharp turns area, you get to take the large turns with full speed, meanwhile Darius will have to use his brakes, or hit walls. You can basically overtake him in the long downhill after the main turn, because you never used brakes in it, and he will. Just make sure not to fall too far behind in the beginning and it'll be fine for the end. This trick is pretty decent since it can be done with tier 2 cars like the RX-7.

[@electricboi9319]

Tuners are best for sharp curves lol That means that they will destroy Darius at the beginning

[@Csmeau4]

They actually aren't. All the cars steer the same in sharp turns. Tuners are just good at steering at high speed because they don't lose any grip.

[@OwkeejGamers]

with the Z06 u just bump him into the wall in the first corner and u just keep in front off him and u win!

[@electricboi9319]

MienKreft Skiewars true lol

[@electricboi9319]

No matter which car you have, you only need three things to beat him: 1. Great skills 2. Max upgrade 3. Implementation of 1 and 2.

[@Milgraaauuu]

The opponent's cars behave depending on the speed of your car, so it is possible to defeat darius with rx8 stock for example

[@upoPanzo]

dodge viper and corvette are the best choice for this, floor it on the start and u are going to pass him, stay in front for 10 sec and u won!

[@Electravess]

Beat the canyon with a corvette in 12 seconds. corvette = op

[@hakimkamaruzaman9218]

NdM HD Thanks for the tip

[@hanabi8972]

Corvette indeed OP.. its medium handling category but it feels like has full handling rate lol no to mention quick acceleration

Jian Xiang OMG!! You're right.I just beat Darius with my Corvette Z06.Thanks!

[@cocodiamond3684]

As I did :D

[@epicvince222]

I recommend the viper. It has awesome speed. And to deal with the handling problem you can just use speedbreaker. In the canyon you can just pass him on the first turn.

[@user-xc1qy7ed8l]

you can't use speedbreaker...idiot

[@PalaceDude]

Played this game thousands of times. The first time I beat Darius was in a Corvette. At the time, I was about 12, & I didn't know about the "points" rule (non Eng speaker), so I kept trying until I just surpassed him directly at the first canyon round. lol

[@ThatOneDude7]

I dont know if you're referring to Darius' car as a class D car and the forza as a class A but in this game you cant rely on that at all. Darius car is actually faster than that forza (or should i say the Koenigsegg CCX but its too long)

[@sodjbejoldnojednodo]

You're playing too much asphalt

[@sniperkain]

I think because,of the tiny areas and tight turns,if you add NOS to it you'll just end up flying off the cliff,so they wanted to make it easier for the player so they removed NOS from it.

[@ImUpLzzz2]

0:49 Darius Laugh I play this game after he said “No no no no no NO!!” Then I crash he laugh my favorite laugh

[@purpledoge4466]

use the corvette Zo6 and just ram him to the wall right when he turns and block him for 10 seconds and your done.

[@midnitejmpr9429]

Isaias Arellano I pushed him off the edge

[@purpledoge4466]

Midnitejmpr Gaming i try that and he flip me

[@euisrahmawati8520]

I use that corvette Zo6 and when the race start, there the left corner so i catch him and brake to make it easy to make Darius in the back and blocked him till the time ends (i played it on ps2 :p sorry for bad english btw)

[@m4rci_sz3ndvich]

You actually can cheese the canyon race! If you slam into his left side in the first turn in a position that your hood is first he can actually push you as long as you are turning into him! MAY TAKE PRACTICE! If you don't get it start over (you will know when it happens). If you actually get it right you will have to steer into him the whole time. Around 1/2 turs and you win! This makes it possible to beat the game with one car that is not the starting one!

[@haroldearlgray5629]

It's just that in exotics you aren't better in anything. He will be superior in all stats in his Audi, so you have to use a tuner to get better steering or mustle for a speed advantage. Personally Mitsubishi Lancer evolution worked best for me.

[@ralphlorenzperolino3054]

Muscles work in his canyon duel as well. Only the Viper and Corvette are proven to beat Darius. Darius might be hard to beat at the beginning of the canyon race but if you overtake him before the sharp turn, that's a yes move right there.

[@petervengepetercarljackson8961]

I've tried using Plymouth hemi cuda with highest available upgrade. It takes accurate smashing the r8 on the left door to bounce the car towards the road after the sharp turn with no braking. Then, try to get away from the opponent by driving skillfully and blocking.

[@ironbat-99]

Unfortunately never played this game, but I mainly clicked the video because of how ancient it is. Nice time capsule. :)

[@meh92]

this remind me that 14 years ago, everyone have massive skill issues

[@munenorikawasaki7796]

Anybody who doesn't use the Corvette in the canyon against Darius is dumb you can literally overtake him before the damn first corner and win the race within about 10 seconds😂

[@rrpeguero]

Ive beaten him using the corvette too, but I rather use the dodge challenger because its my favorite car from carbono, also its harder and i like it, feels good to beat him with it

[@nicolaschau9247]

There are technically 4 shortcuts in the game. It's the one towards the 2nd shortcut. Just drive straight and then there's one there

[@cxssetteman182]

It was my first PlayStation 2 game. Been playing it for the past 8 years. For me,tuners work the best (Lancer is the ultimate tuner) Exotics are good too.The best is definitely Carerra GT,followed by Ford GT (McLaren is just a fat ass hauling down the mountain pass honestly) Also,if you want to make the muscle cars to drive really well,go to the Performance section and do the following setting:- Brakes (middle row,to the Rear Bias side) Suspension (middle row,and shift to the Front Bias side) Even Exotics literally drive like tuners with this setting. and Muscle cars don't drift unnecessary with that setting try it out. Also,if you have a hard time with the Rubber banding AI. Just max out the performance,but don't equip the Nitrous. Keep it stock. It would be a tad bit fairer race then.

[@aristoeldesarmado]

Best tip: use a Dodge Viper and pass him at the beginning.

[@shaiii-chan]

The best car in the game is Mercedes-Benz SLR Mclaren. And I defeated him with just that. Thanks to your tips. Without your tips, I were finding it difficult to beat him (in the canyons). Thanks again :)

[@luchiha443]

Damn who would have thought that after so many tries I have to come here to see how to defeat Darius in the Canyon 2022 and still Need for Speed Carbon is one of the best NFS game

[@MozzarellaBasket]

I overtook him in the Canyon yesterday and won, in the Golf R32. Might even be possible with a stock Mazda 3.

[@forestgumping4141]

+mazdarati2 ahahha sure

[@RUST.1013]

Wow! COOL!

[@omarahmetovic9233]

i recommend using muscle cars because even though they lack speed they have a crazy acceleration and if you restart the canyon run you could pass him on the first corner and beat him at the start of the canyon duel

[@inxi5360]

Omar Ahmetović But muscle cars have a very poor handling. Been there. Done that. Once beat him with a Camaro SS (because I didn't have enough money) in like 134 attempts and good experience. Just use exotics... tier 3... with Oversteer tuning.

[@laksamanasuhendra5868]

Well muscle car have very poor handling and slides a much, exotics is fast but when at high speed the front wheel feels like glued to the ground. I recommend the tuner for canyon duels. Because in the canyon there Will be so much turns, tuner have a really good handling, also in canyon duels top speed doesnt matter, all it matters is handling and skill, if you have both you can beat him :)

[@Khilfiz1]

I prefer using some tuners instead of muscle, except if you can Drive with muscle Cars. Muscle car hard to use for me except for drifting its amazing.

[@pyroblade5287]

Vette

[@corvetaumbr2410]

I think that the best car to beat him is using a maxed out Corvette with "acceleration" configured transmission, you can overtake him in the first corner in canyon

Best way to beat Darius : Google: upgrade your car, keep practice and practice, don't hit the wall Bing: "pointing into the cliff"

[@konnosaeko9874]

weird that this video pops up now, years after I stopped playing Carbon but still enjoy playing Heat. Also I just used a Corvette and passed him at the long wide left heading into the downhill section. Also since the player cant push his car I normally slam off his side while he is turning and instantly take the lead. Just gotta pray its an easy recovery doing it like that, otherwise yeah Corvette op.

[@o0_VanYsH_0o]

There is 1 Car that excels at Making Darius Chew On Rubber the entire race. All my muscle car brothers know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. The Dodge Viper. If you have a Viper, you win the game. Not just Carbon, ANY NFS Game. The Viper is one of the GOATS of carbon. It straight-line shoots like a Muscle, can drift like a Tuner, and can pass Exotics like they never existed. Set up your Viper with Race Package EVERYTHING in Performance, before challenging The Stacked Deck Boss Battle. You will destroy both Canyon and City Races. When you race Darius, remember the Shortcuts. He tends to miss the 3rd Shortcut unless you are in the lead, so this is your chance. In the Canyon, it's POSSIBLE to pass him. Dive bomb hard into his car in the first turn. You'll accelerate faster than he will. Once you have the lead, drift the corner wide. Because enemies get a speed boost whenever you are in the lead of first round, he will be forced to take the corner wide to pass you. If you hold the line, he will hit you from behind in the second turn, and you can easily win.

[@iglesianifuhuaw4228]

The first time I beat him, I'm using a fricking supra

[@royo7740]

i used skyline to beat him, i play manual transmission but for stage 1 canyon i shifted to automatic and 2nd stage i used manual. the trick with canyon races is to shift down to gear 2 at turns without using breaks (for skyline and evo dunno bout the rest)

[@Just_RJ]

It's funny how to this day, I still play this game. Every single time I played this game over and over, regardless of any factor, I used a Mitsubishi Evo VIII to overtake Darius in the first run in the canyon. It just handles so well. However, my friend showed me that it was possible to use a Corvette ZO6 to overtake him quickly, but that thing handles horrendously. I used the Corvette to mop up all the races I had left before taking on Darius in my Evo, but canyon for me in that, noooooooo.

[@xXIEDDyIXx]

loved this game. def gonna re play this. I wanna beat him with the Supra or Rx7. I first beat him with my lambo Murcielago then used the R34 Skyline when the game first came out on the Gamecube

[@woodenchest8383]

I challenge you to beat darius with a tier 2 car

[@ralphlorenzperolino3054]

Darius is actually the most hardest boss in NFS history until now. He shares the same rubberbanding with Earl, Ming, JV, and Bull from Most Wanted, 4 in 1 combined. His Audi is fully upgraded which is an Exotic car that handles like a Tuner. The only way to smoke him is to use a Corvette or an Evo. Skyline and Viper are also optional, it depends on you. To smoke him, don't let him steal the lead or else he will blaze like a rocket and you can't pass him again, just like you did beating Earl in Most Wanted facing his rubberbanding technique. At the canyon, be aggressive and overtake that guy by using a Corvette on the first turn on Eternity Pass. If you manage to pass him at the first curve, there's a 50% chance that he will not overtake against you. Stay in the lead for 10 seconds and you actually win.

Pro Tip for Canyon Race:Manual

[@NotBladed]

The fact this was made 2 months after I was born just makes me smile for some reason.

[@kuala3840]

2007 KZbin: Noo, so early 2008: Noo, so early *Jumping straight to 2020...* 2020: Noo, so early 2021: Hell yeah awesome time to recommend this

[@geoffrules6750]

The only bit I found annoying was the city circuit. In the canyon race all you need to do is hit the apex at the mid/late point on the corners, then you would be able to keep up. Because there is no traffic, I would advise you to frequently glance at the map

[@geoffrules6750]

If you can do that, then you would be able to keep up with him with an rx8 with only a few mods

[@brunoody]

Two days ago beat him again after years... Good nostalgia 👌 The way I did was with the Murcielago fully upgraded, I learned how to play perfectly with: just use only hand break when breaking is needed lol and then deal with the drifting off 👌

[@drfaust8764]

By me the same, only i was driving whith a added R8 v10 Spyder but i was not able to drive both stages becouse he flow off in the 2. corner on the first race ^^

[@Cobra_427]

Corvette, has great handling for a muscle car and has the acceleration and power of a muscle, if you restart the race it starts you a little further back from the first corner, with that extra bit of straight you can pass him in the first corner and win

[@Darkman28113]

In the canyon race when you Instantly restart you spawn closer to him and With viper you can get him in the first Corner

[@mary_jane7]

Even though I don't like Muscles (Expect Chevrolet corvette ZO6, dodge viper, dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Camaro), I think they are the best for beating Darius since they have the highest acceleration and all you need for the Canyon races is high acceleration

[@JACK9ITE]

I use handbrakes on corners,and while tapping the handbrakes I release the acceleration for a quick moment.........

[@miy1925hassun]

My way is tuning Corvette or Viper for top speed and grip. It solves the excessive sliding problem and I have ridiculous speed on top of the accelration which is already enough to smoke him in a straight line.

[@muhammaddanishwaqarahmed2518]

I used NISSAN SKYLINE GTR. I scored 204K in the first leg of the race. [4:13] I beat him in many Exotics such as BMW M3 GTR, Lamborghini Murcielago, Koenigsegg CCX. I overtook him with BMW.

[@deniprka502]

buy the corvette zr1, it is up to the maximum, but from special upgrades only the engine needs to be upgraded to the left for acceleration and when it wins it in a regular race and when it comes to the canyon restart race and you can finish it in the first curve

[@TomPaur]

I really loved tuner cars when i played this game...i never had problem to beat him :D

[@fae_gavan7582]

I remember Dillano (I don’t know if he’s still around, can’t quite find him.) beat Darius with corvette Zo6/C6.
