• Jump into the gate.
• How to deal with zombies.
• When to get the whip (don't get it off the first low candle).
• Dealing with zombies at the end.
• To deal with the triple zombie pattern, damage boost (gif)

Stopwatch Manipulation (Optimal)

(Link to video)

• The optimal frame to jump into gate is the one shown in the video, where Simon turns around for a very brief moment before going into the castle.
• Kmac Watch off the first zombie is a frame perfect window that works on every pattern.
  • Pay attention if there's two or more zombies at the start, as the second one will also drop a Money Bag if the Stopwatch drops and it'll advance the item chart to Slot 2 (possibly put a gif of this happening here).
• Explain how to deal with Second Wave if Stopwatch is already in hand, possibly with a picture to point out visual cue for first jump.

If you don't have a Stopwatch by the second wave, use this strat:
(Link to video showcasing how to get watch on second wave on all possible zombies and patterns)

• Explanation

Alternate Watch Manip Strats

(Link to video, basically old watch strats)

• This watch manipulation is a lot more complex as the actions are different from pattern to pattern, but it can always avoids a second item drop from happening in this stage, and some people may find the timing a little less awkward on some of these patterns.

TAS Framerule

(Captcha's clip)

• It's stupid.

Easier Bat Boost

Recommended to newcomers
(Link to video)

• Kmac buffer, don't retry pixel if watch manipulation failed.

Early Boost (Stopwatch)

(Link to video)

• Easier buffer

Optimal Early Boost (Stopwatch)

(Link to video)

• How to save a Framerule.

Backups

Manual Bat Boost

(Link to video)

• (Waiting at the ledge)
• Mainly to be used as a backup if the Bat Boost failed.

Simple Stopwatch kill

Should this be recommended to newcomers or should this be categorized as an alternative strat/backup?
(Link to video)

• Boss's pattern is dependent on how many frames have elapsed since the start of the screen.
• Get potion, clunk off the ledge.
• Get into position, let Bat go through Simon, activate Stopwatch, go ham.
• Orb Grab.
• This can also be used as a backup for the Crit strat.

Simple Crit

This could be recommended to newcomers alternatively
(Link to video)

• Boss's pattern is dependent on how many frames have elapsed since the start of the screen.
• Clunk, get consistent pattern.
• Crit.
• As a backup, activate the stopwatch and kill the bat there. You need to press either up+B on the same frame, or B 1 frame after pressing up, to avoid climbing the step (Can point to the simple stopwatch kill, append a gif, or just show it in the video).

Advanced Crit (Optimal)

• Boss's pattern is dependent on how many frames have elapsed since the start of the screen.
• Whip cancel landing off ledge, possibly skip potion.

(LInk to video of 3-frame pattern)

• Slower, but but acceptable. Explanation.

(Link to video of 2-frame pattern)

• Explanation

(Link to video of 1-frame pattern)

• Explanation

(Link to video of 0-frame pattern (TASCrit))

• Explanation, point out that this is best pattern

(Link to video of clunk (Also TASCrit))

• Just to point out that a clunk gives you TASCrit)

(LInk to video of more patterns possibly? We just do the 2-frame movement for those anyway. Point this out in some way)

Backups

Rare Double Zombie pattern

(Link to video)

• For Stopwatch/Crit users
• Take the boost, jump clunk.

Late jump on TASCrit

(Link to video)

• Explanation

Axe strats

(Link to video)

• Recommended to be used as a backup if the stopwatch manipulation failed in stage 02, though it can be used in alternative to the stopwatch kill if really struggling with the up+B press.
  • Keep in mind that not having the stopwatch for level 2 will make it slower and more difficult.
• Get potion.
• Position Simon in correct spot for Axe kill on boss.
• Orb grab
