Optimal Route

Notes:

• This stage uses the Ring Glitch
• Section 3-1 is known to be heavy on RNG due to the Mudmen patterns, you will have to adjust your strategies here depending on pattern and how much damage you've taken.
• At 0:56 you can opt out of the fuzz ball strat by just waiting to damage boost into it.
• At 2:18 you can opt out of the ring strat but is 17 frames slower Compare Video

Tutorials

3-1 Mudmen RNG

Notes:

• Whip down at the Mudmen a later than usual. This will ensure that even with the worst pattern (where the Mudmen hugs the corner), Simon will not take damage.

3-2 Fireball Boost

Final damage boost through SwordSkeleton

There is a possible bad pattern that will always kill you: https://clips.twitch.tv/PerfectArbitraryJellyfishBibleThump?tt_medium=clips_api&tt_content=url

Here is a alternative for that pattern: https://clips.twitch.tv/TangentialGloriousKuduMcaT?tt_medium=clips_api&tt_content=url

3-3 Fast Bone Dragon Kill

Note:

• Very hard strat to nail. Executing a whip cross is a one frame trick and on top you do whip cancel to be able to jump faster.

3-3 Climb

3-3 Boss Alternative

3-3 2nd Eyeball Damage Boost

3-3 2nd Eyeball Damage Boost (additional set-up)
