Optimal Route

  • At 2:00 performs a medusa boost with a 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.


1-2 Wall Clip Tutorials



Notes:

  • This trick saves ~2.5 over normal strat and the inputs are precise to getting into the wall successfully.
  • When connecting to the ring the screen needs to scroll left so the game will try to eject you to the right side of the wall.
  • These are the 4 pixels where Simon can jump into the screen transition. See visuals below.
  • For other tutorials on wall clip see link here.

Notes

  • Whipping 4 times helps set up the timing so the first cross hits the horse head as it appears.

Optimal

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 boss tutorial as well for more detailed information.
