Celeste Spike Jump Tutorial (1A Dashless)

This is an updated tutorial for anyone that didn't get enough help with the first one. I go more in-depth and also cover some settings that I use. I don't know if this is the fastest or the best way to learn but it is how I learned.

One thing that might be useful to know is that if you do accidentally dash, as long as you die afterwards without completing the room, the winged golden strawberry still appears. All that matters is that the time you complete the room you did it without dashing.

[@mikerice868]

And here I restarted the first couple rooms because I accidentally dashed trying to do the two button jump for extra distance, would've been super helpful I'd I'd read this before, but thanks anyway

[@everydaysniper9390]

the real pro tip is to simply unbind dash

[@maccheese7548]

on the last room i accidentally panicked and dashed (then died) and i nearly started over bc i thought it'd invalidate the berry. i decided to finish anyway just to see and boy howdy i'm glad i didn't start over

[@Rapidfire370]

​@@everydaysniper9390That was what I did, I once DID accidentally press dash but since I unbinded dash it didn't really matter

[@playstation9993]

I just unbound it lmao

[@josephjoestar953]

The stamina saving wall jumps absolutely obliterate your thumbs, be prepared to have sore thumbs by the time you get the golden strawberry.

[@KysfGD]

Or if you're on keyboard your index, middle, and ring fingers all get to feel the burn

[@silasnebulous4533]

On keyboard its just a rhythm.

[@jcgongavoe337]

Just finished it, at first finding the spike jump difficult, then it's the last wall jump for the elevator, absolutely hard

[@LS_R3MU]

It's actually really simple! (I use joystick!)

[@rainkit1930]

Bro they are not that bad

[@emraneguy]

To anyone who's struggling at the last room (7:10) there is a setup that worked for me in getting Madeline to grab onto the moving platform. On the wall where she jumps off you can see a pattern of three snow pixel formations. Position Madeline so that her lowest pixel is one below the bottommost "snow spike", hold grab + left and then press and hold jump until you're just below the platform where you have to switch from left to right the moment that the game clips you around the corner of the platform. It will take a couple of tries but was fairly consistent.

[@vanandsan27]

thank you so much! I hated it so much because I just don't get it You saved me that golden berry

[@moonandstar6467]

holy heck this is the first tutorial that actually helped me get through the ceiling jump at 2:39

[@jozajab6849]

Same! I actually did the jump without having two jump buttons once but gave up later on. I was dreading that room when I went for it this time and the two jump buttons trick made it so much easier!

[@Chubercik]

Same here, on keyboard I recommend binding jump to "D" so you can quickly do a double jump by pressing "C" and "D".

[@MrMister5555]

That last jump onto the elevator is bullshit. Absolutely infuriating. The spike jumps were easy in comparison.

[@tuuns_]

Thank you for being the only tutorial that told me I had to add a second jump button cause I was stuck at the 2:39 jump for so long cause every tutorial I watched just said to jump twice

[@Nebenio9824]

That room is very easy get to the top pixel then jump right and spam every button on your controller while holding right👍

[@mackquack7]

now i can speedrun celeste and arthritis

[@perilouspear9640]

7:00 "About 3 quarters of the way up" is severly underselling it. There's about 1 pixel you can succeed on.

[@kappascopezz5122]

Maybe I'm late commenting, but with the room at 5:55, I found it a lot easier to just go for the spike jump instead of "bonking" on the ceiling. Then, with the room at 6:40, you actually get some help when you're as inaccurate as I am and take a lot of attempts just to get a few spike jumps right: You can go and open the secret pasage on the top left (which you can climb to easily after having gone through the first half of the room) and use that as a checkpoint.

[@Nebenio9824]

Maybe im late commenting 😮

[@JustOlivia24]

Thanks man, this tutorial helped a ton! Just got it, only took like 50 mins, which is less than I expected.

[@anitram5962]

2:40 I spent two hours on that part because no tutorial told me I needed two jump buttons, I love u man

[@BenBildstein]

This guide did it for me thank you. At 2:30 I found a more reliable setup is to walk up to the wall on the left and grab it, then (holding right and climb the whole time) the spike jump is much more consistent / easier.

[@dreamleaf552]

like 1 hour of trying I couldn't get this jump. Took me about 1-2 minutes using this method to finally get it. I can't thank you enough good sir.

[@BenBildstein]

@@dreamleaf552 oh I am so glad! I'm a noob compared to most, glad I could be of some assistance! And thanks for letting me know.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I just got past that part thanks to you. I know you commented this a year ago but I still wanted to thank you

[@johnle918]

thabks bro ive been trying to figure this out for forever and i dont even own the game!!

[@shayne3005]

I know I'm over a year late, but a few quick terminology corrections (mainly so people know what the heck you are talking about): The 'Ceiling Double Jump' is more commonly known as a cornerkick The 'Stamina Saving Walljumps' are usually referred to as neutral walljumps, neutral jumps, or just neutrals The 'Spike Jump' is actually a cornerjump. This is the only real issue I have with this tutorial, as spikejumps are actually something completely different where you are moved into a spike covered surface (or the surface is moved into you) which allows you to temporarily jump off of it before the game realises that you contacted the spikes due to the order in which the game handles different actions and checks.

[@theiaraine]

5-jumps

[@Scorialimit]

I only needed this for one 3:20 but I'm glad I finished it after I was done cause your solution for 6:43 was way more satisfying than mine (I just used the falling brick from the top and did a really small hop, barely made it after way too many tries lol)

[@lordpuff]

[@Rodrigo-ei4ht]

Thanks. This was really helpful

[@dippyfresh1635]

I some how first tried the double jump through That corner, no exaggeration! Thank you for the tutorial. I always thought this strawberry was beyond my reach till now:) Also, I can't grab the elevator in the final room 😫. I just bonk my head or miss it entirely.

[@RobTopala]

thank you so much oh my god this took me like an hour

[@MillyKKitty]

1:26 You can complete this room by going to the left, jump and press left a bit, so that you'll stand next to the spikes. Then jump and hold z(grab). It's easier.

[@xavier9480]

i finally did it :) great tutorial at 7:23 i died a couple times i found it best to take a run up and not do a big jump

[@koopdawhoop.]

I ACCIDENTALY QUIT ON THE LAST GODDAMN ROOM I HATE MYSELF :))))))))))))))))) update: i did it

[@alansmithee419]

6:50 You can actually get up and around to falling ice block very easily, then you only need to perform one spike jump instead of two chained ones.

[@mateopanza9350]

Thanks for the help, i now did it my first time in 26 minutes and 34 seconds

[@alansmithee419]

3:10 *Potentially important to keyboard players* On some keyboards, for whatever reason, it is impossible to perform this trick while holding down the first jump button - i.e. you have to press your first jump button, let go of that button, and *then* press and hold your other one (if you don't hold you won't get the necessary distance). Of course this has to be done *very* quickly (but then what are keyboards for if not pressing lots of buttons in rapid succession?) Weirdly on my keyboard, it seems this would've been much easier had the level been flipped left-to-right, because I think I can be holding A (left) and then perform a jump on my second bind while my first is held, but not when holding D (right). Once I realised what was going on with my keyboard this room suddenly became easy for me.

[@esdoor4117]

great tutorial

[@Amoongus]

I actually found out about spike jumps by myself, but I had no idea how much you can use them and how to use them, I only thought you can get additional height when wall jumping...

[@dominik_3496]

wow man, awesome 🔥

[@protaeya]

Finally got it! I'm still no master of all the advanced tech this game has to offer but hey, at least I got that gold berry.

[@ericcartman6373]

thank you good video my thumb hurts now but i believe it would hurt a lot more if i hadnt watched this video : - )

[@Kaynet2073]

Thank you so much

[@Panseworst]

6:20 you can hold on to the wall with spikes on it instead of trying to make the whole jump

[@theiaraine]

There is only one spike jump in the entire dashless run 2:43 (spiked corner kick). These are climbjumps or corner jumps (the trick is called 5-jump). Spikejumps are usually done with wind, moving away from the spikes, or obscure tricks with hitbox leniency. You need to jump off the actual spikes for it to be called a spikejump.

I finally lower my dashless time to under 7 mins, I'm preparing for double golden

[@Acesoap]

my controller isn't read by my PC so I map controller buttons to Keyboard presses, but I can't map multiple keys to jump. can i still do a double jump??

[@mangoswirl]

From what I know, there is no way to do it without doing it manually from the settings files. After changing the settings file, you can have multiple keys be jump and perform the double jump

[@ArtemisWasHere]

2:31 how?? I’m stuck on this part with no clue what I’m doing wrong and literally no one else seems to have a problem with this room, my spike jumps never clear the spikes. Could someone please help?

Part at 6:28 I found it much easier to just jump and wall kick off the grey blocks then jump off the corner by the 6 spikes, lines up nicely.

[@ChromaTK]

5:54 i did this without the ledge jump, i instead spike jumped from the spot below the ceiling which wasn't too bad, since everything before it was relatively consistent

You can die as many times as you need to for the wing berry, it is not like the other golden berries. The only requirement is you do not dash.

[@Selient]

@@mangoswirl thanks!

[@gardenofeden1409]

The jump at 5:30 feels impossible, the spike jump always sends me backwards

[@mangoswirl]

If you haven't done it yet, you have to hold the direction you want to jump to after spike jumping if you are in a neutral position you will be sent backwards. In this case just hold left while doing the jump

If you die in that same room it doesn’t count as a dash

[@another-niko-pfp-holder]

i did the whole thing and the berry WASN'T EVEN THERE. HOW.

[@theiaraine]

did you save and quit? did you dash?

[@TheRealSeiferoth]

There's a far easier/quicker way to do the final room. Just look at any speedrun tutorial and use the method they use in that room. It cuts it fine with climb stamina, but if you fail you can safely fall back to the spring and try again. Whereas failing this method results in death.

[@uezyteue7690]

dashless? I don't know what you watched but the speedrun tutorial I just watched used a fair few dashes in that room.

[@TheRealSeiferoth]

@@uezyteue7690 I was, in fact, incorrect. I misremembered the tech for this room. There is one dash involved in the strat I was referring to. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJzCc5SXj7SbmZI will show you what I'm referring to. I forgot to come back and edit my comment since it was 6 months ago. So my apologies for the misinformation. I genuinely forgot there was actually one dash involved at the very top of the room. It's not dashless as I mistakenly claimed.

[@dennisebi3705]

Just one question. Why No Dash? Is that some KZbin or Ego Thing to make Games even Harder than they are?

[@dreamleaf552]

It's a specific challenge in the game. To get the golden strawberries you need to beat the entire level without dying, but level 1 has a special strawberry called the winged golden strawberry which you get for beating it without the use of dash. It's sort of a collectable for people who want to be pushed to the absolute limit. For me going for these challenges is more about taking games you love and pushing them to the absolute limit. There is sort of a bragging rights aspect that goes with it but in general people that tend to go for these sorts of challenges tend to just be masochists which the game is kind of designed for as the existence of the golden strawberries/winged strawberry kind of demonstrates. I play another game that's similar called Touhou which is by normal standards over here considered to be *ridiculously* hard and it's very common for fans of the series to do the same kind of thing where they'll often try to push it even further by doing challenges like trying to beat the game without bombs. For most people these sorts of things aren't worth the time and frustration but for people that get into being pushed as far as they can go these sort of challenges are incredibly addicting and satisfying to strive for and achieve.

[@Frosted_cheese]

dont do this it isnt worth it

In the room at 5:52 you can do a spike jump at the ledge after you jump off the collaping platform. I found that to be much eaier.
