Safe Route

-->Need video here

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 0:54 you can opt out of the fuzz ball strat by just waiting to damage boost into it.
  • At 2:12 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 Eyeball Boost

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)


Boss

Save Strat

Notes:

  • A safe way to handle the 3-3 boss.
