[Show/Hide] Stage 07
Stage 7 first screen
Standard
- After gaining control of Simon, immediately jump off of the current platform and throw a holy water to hit the second candle, this should drop triple multiplier. Walk under the first fleaman (you can try to whip him to practice for the advanced strat) and when about the middle of the two raised platforms, jump and do a delayed holy water toss. If done correctly it should allow you to keep moving and kill the first two fleamen.
- Next jump onto the slightly raised platform and head towards the skeleton, turn and come back to the first block and jump up and into the now jumping third fleaman. This should boost you to the next platform, turn toss a holy water at the candle, grab the big heart and proceed up the stairs.
Advanced
- After gaining control of Simon, immediately jump off of the current platform, and walk towards the fleaman. When Simon's head almost reaches the candle prior to the fleaman jump and whip - this should kill the first fleaman. If it does not after you walk under the platform jump and throw a holy water. This should be an earlier toss than the standard and not a delayed toss, you want to keep the second fleaman alive to boost off of.
- Walking under the second fleaman you can stop and turn at the candle at the right side of the pillar or the left side of the pillar. You need to time this turn around with the fleamans jumps or bounces, this should cause him to jump high giving enough time to turn back to the left walk and jump onto the raised platform. Immediately turn back and jump boosting you from the second fleaman onto the raised platform.
Stage 7 second screen
Standard
- Walk up the stairs and jump off of the raised platform as far right as you can. You should "clunk" meaning there is a sound effect and Simon kneels for a moment. This causes the bird pattern coming up to be consistent and the only pattern you have to worry about being the skeleton. The skeleton will either jump towards you or jump towards you and throw a bone. If the skeleton jumps towards you whip him, if he jumps and throws a bone throw a holy water at him.
- After dealing with the skeleton walk and jump as late as possible over the pit, while in the air do a delayed holy water throw this should hit the first bird. Jump from the lower platform to the next platform instead of walking up the stairs.Walk towards the edge of this platform and when Simon has one foot off of the platform throw a holy water so it lands on the edge of the next raised platform. This should kill the upper and lower birds, allowing you jump to the next two platforms.
- As you jump to the highest platform (the one with the stairs on the right side) toss a holy water down so it hits the candle and the skeleton below. Jump and when Simon is coming down do a whip to cancel the clunk here, as you land you should collect the cross from the candle at the bottom. Jump to the next two platforms and then proceed to the door.
Advanced
- Walk up the stairs and jump off of the raised platform at the top of the stairs. Whip buffer on the way down so you do not clunk. From here you have to deal first with the skeleton, which has two patterns. Jump forwards and if the skeleton just jumps at you, you whip him in the air. If he jumps and throws a bone you do a delayed holy water throw. This needs to be almost as late as possible.
- After dealing with the skeleton walk and jump as late as possible over the pit, while in the air do a delayed holy water throw this should hit the first bird. Jump from the lower platform to the next platform instead of walking up the stairs. If done on the right frame you will get the next item drop, so if you entered level 3 on potion and have not gotten any other drops you will get the potion in mid air, otherwise it will be a rosary or bag - again depending what item you are on.
- There are 3 patterns the birds will give you next. High, mid and low. If you just got a potion or a rosary you proceed by jumping up to each raised platform. Throw an early water as you jump to the highest platform, this should cause the skeleton to walk towards the water as it falls and can give you the next drop. This is optimal if you got the potion and now are on bag, because if you get the bag on this screen you can force a rosary drop in stage 8 which helps you get through the screen faster.
- If you do not get a potion or rosary drop off of the first bird then you have to read the pattern in mid air.
- High bird - if you get high bird throw a water forward onto the middle raised platform to kill the bird coming from below and immediately jump and whip the high bird.
- Mid bird - the mid bird pattern strat is the same as the standard strat so walk towards the edge of this platform and when Simon has one foot off of the platform throw a holy water so it lands on the edge of the next raised platform. This should kill the upper and lower birds, allowing you jump to the next two platforms.
- Low bird - this is the pattern when you see the bird from above dive down super fast and below Simon. You quickly pause and unpause, what this does is slightly delays the bird from below from quickly flying up and hitting Simon.
- As you jump to the highest platform (the one with the stairs on the right side) toss a holy water down so it hits the candle and the skeleton below. Jump and when Simon is coming down do a whip to cancel the clunk here, as you land you should collect the cross from the candle at the bottom. Jump to the next two platforms and then proceed to the door.
