TODO: Introduce One of the Pacifist rununique glitches that is critical to this category is called [[SOTN/Revenge Tech | Revenge Tech]], and it allows Alucard to bypass certain bosses and farm certain enemies for drops without it granting him any experience points or increasing his Kill Count.

TODO: Describe how Once you reach the first ledge, you will then need to perform a [[SOTN/Fire_Boomerang_Super_Jump|Fire Boomerang Super Jump]] and have Alucard's head collide with the sloped ceiling near the top of the room. Doing so will allow you to jump a second time to position yourself near the exit in the ceiling while you proceed to perform another series of Wolf-Thrust Sword rising to reach Gravity Boots without flightthe ledge in the next room.

By standing at a precise position in the room to the right of KurasumanKarasuman's room and using the Heart Refresh, Alucard can use a [[SOTN/Reverse Shift Line | Reverse Shift Line]] to skip past the fight with KurasumanKarasuman.
During the Heart Refresh animation, there is a visual cue that can help confirm whether or not the correct frame was used. It involves checking if the bottom-most pixel of the Sub-weapon frame is aligned directly above the point of the spear that the statue is holding. While this method is not 100% reliable, it is a fairly strong indicator.

NOTE: If you fail the skip, it is still possible to perform a [[SOTN/Revenge Tech#Kurasuman Karasuman | Revenge Tech]] on Kurasuman Karasuman using Holy Water and a source of invincibility frames like an Antivenom.

* Get the Moonstone
To get back across the gap and into the stairwell above, you need to perform a combination of [[SOTN/Double Jump Reset | Double Jump Resets]] and the Thurst Thrust Sword special.

== Reaching Gravity Boots without Flight == In order to acquire Gravity Boots at this stage of the run, Alucard must perform a very difficult series of tricks. The first step requires reaching the first ledge in the center path above the Clock Room ==by Wolf-Thrust Sword rising (which will require refilling mana with Manna Prism to keep going). You can also start off with a [[SOTN/Fire_Boomerang_Super_Jump|Fire Boomerang Super Jump]] if you prefer.
