*Harpies are random.
*Your hearts carry over into stage 6 since there is no stage boss. It is good to grab at least 10~20 hearts leaving. This is not strict as you mainly need 6 to 10 for the beginning of stage 6 (strats depending) and can grab more later in 6-2.

{{#ev:youtube|5fLt9UReZggTXft4ace4bc|560}}'''Notes:'''*At 0:01 It is best to throw 2 sets of crosses in a triforce pattern to take care of any harpie spawns at ground level. Any patterns above is all reaction.*At 0:11 whipping up hits the bone pillar above and reduces the amount of fireballs he shoots to 1. Each fireball on the screen causes a little lag.*At 0:12 you can avoid spawning the other fireball by having very tight jumps here so the camera doesn't scroll (optional)*At 0:48 to jump without stopping the first jumps are achieved by doing two 1-2f jump + whips in succession. This is not required however. You can achieve this with a one 1-2f jump + whip and then a full jump.
