After FOUR more desyncs, Cole and Ned complete the boat. Except for Ned. He dies. We also meet Tom. He dies too.
The boat is on a timer that you cannot speed up. You HAVE to wait for both sides of the boat to explode to proceed.
The wolf sections may seem slightly sloppy during Tom's missions, but the whole thing is on a timer that you can't speed up, so regardless of what I do, it'll always take the same amount of time.
