Safe Route
Optimal Route
Notes:
- This stage uses the Ring Glitch
- Section 3-1 is known to be heavy on RNG due to the Mudmen patterns, you will have to adjust your strategies here depending on pattern and how much damage you've taken.
- At 0:56 you can opt out of the fuzzball strat by just waiting to damage boost into it.
- At 2:18 you can opt out of the ring strat but is 17 frames slower Compare Video
3-3 Skeleton Patterns
- There is a possible bad pattern that will always kill you: https://clips.twitch.tv/PerfectArbitraryJellyfishBibleThump?tt_medium=clips_api&tt_content=url
- Here is a alternative for that pattern: https://clips.twitch.tv/TangentialGloriousKuduMcaT?tt_medium=clips_api&tt_content=url
3-1 Mudmen RNG
Notes:
- Whip down at the Mudmen a later than usual. This will ensure that even with the worst pattern (where the Mudmen hugs the corner), Simon will not take damage.
3-2 Fireball Boost
Alternative Strats
3-3 Fast Bone Dragon Kill
Note:
- Very hard strat to nail. Executing a whip cross is a one frame trick and on top you do whip cancel to be able to jump faster.
3-3 2nd Eyeball Damage Boost
Alternative set-up
3-1 Mudman Pattern Option
Boss: Orphic Vipers
Safe Strat
Notes:
- A safe way to handle the 3-3 boss.
