===2-1 Video by JustDefend===
{{#ev:youtube|LE_CyPm1F0M|560}}
'''Notes'''
*This route (video 2-1 to 2-3) showcases a safe way to get through the stage without any extra boosts. It is intended for those who want to achieve sub 40 minutes.
*The hands that spawn from the ground in the beginning of 2-1 are RNG dependent. To get rid of potential spawns you want to jump and throw a cross low enough to hit the hands when they spawn. The video above shows an example of spots that are good to do this jump/low cross combo

===2-2 Video by JustDefend===
{{#ev:youtube|VE_SmU9_0TA|560}}
'''Notes'''
* At 0:18 These frogs have different jump patterns and can either do small hops or long jumps forward. A well timed cross and potential backup whip as seen in the video can help to get rid of them quickly before they become a problem
* At 0:28 In case you really need it there is a big wall meat for health refill hidden in the wall next right side of the candle on the bottom

===2-3 Video by JustDefend===
{{#ev:youtube|ubOcyvdU0LM|560}}
'''Notes'''
*The water here works in both directions. You want to make sure to go with the flow to get the best momentum. In other words: Keep walking while the water goes right way and reduce Simon’s time on the ground while its going backwards (by jumping)

'''Notes''' <br/>
*At 1:10 performs the wall clip (saves ~2.5). A tutorial can be found below.<br/>
*At 1:20 this skeleton is random. If he does not jump you will take a secondary boost in the next screen.
*At 2:00 performs a medusa boost with a [[Cv4/tricks#Limp_Whip | limp whip]], (each saves ~.25) see visual cues below for more information.
*At 2:20 for more information on the boss fight see below section.

*This trick saves ~2.5 over normal strat and the inputs are precise to getting into the wall successfully.
*These are the 4 pixels where Simon can jump into the screen transition. See visuals below.

'''Notes'''
*You lose no time on clunk frames when you enter the boss as the transition is scripted.
*Jump 3 times before the fight starts as a cue for when to throw your crosses.
*Please see Joe's [[Cv4/tutorials#JoeDamillio.27s_.28Most.29_Bosses_Tutorial | boss tutorial]] as well for more detailed information.
