*Watch for control of Simon (I usually look at the candles) after the door. Jump immediately to have the medusa hit spawn above Simon's head level so you can just walk to the right. You need to collect 6 hearts (5 to use the watch and 6th for a holy water throw in stage 6) - you can either collect one from a candle and then get the big heart after the knight.

*Otherwise you can do the candle lottery. Similar jump immediately after the door but whip as well, collecting hearts from the higher candles. If you are not at 4 by the time you hit the raised platform it might be best to just grab the big heart.

*Once you go up the stairs do a whip buffer then jump over the two pits. Attempt to land as far to the left as you can on the second platform, pause and when the second medusa spawns jump backwards out over the pit taking a boost from the medusa to the upper platform. From there walk to the left and jump when your foot hits the following area:
