That was pretty freakin crazy. That downwards dash cancel in the last section is something I haven’t seen before. Also, seeing that skip you discovered in action is always super cool.

There's nothing funnier to me than how it ramps up the difficulty of the Path of Pain in do many ways in so many places and then sometimes it just goes "nah this bit is hard enough, leave it alone".

I feel like that ledge skip is the reason this is segmented. Still pog tho.

[@Gwonkee]

When I made mine segmented, the first room took 30 minutes, the second room took 45 minutes, and the third room (with thorn skip) actually only took 2 tries. I think the 2nd room is the hardest to do in 1 segment.

[@theoverpreparerlamenters3r436]

@@Gwonkee could you clarify? I really don't see when. If he was hit, wouldn't he have at least 2 masks of damage (with these enemies dealing 2 masks base, that would be 4 damage). Also, he's clearly being hit, so no invincibility, and no masks damage are being dealt. I'm a bit confused here
