Hello everyone,

I just wanted to take this time to thank everyone who’s submitted runs this past week. It’s definitely kept me busy in my first week as a mod! The community has really been taking off and that’s thanks to all of you. We actually hit over 50 active runners this week which is incredibly hype! Just so you all know, we’re working hard on the back end of things, and part of that has been making some guides!

Recently some players submitted some runs with some fairly wild movement and we got some questions about it. They were doing something we’ve been calling Stair Hopping. Flower submitted a Solo - Asylum, Batteries/Perks, Nightmare run on January 2nd, 2022, and Raiden1, ShadowWorm, and SpartansThePrime submitted a Trios - The Inn, Batteries/Perks, Nightmare run the same day also featuring a Stair Hop (or SH for short). At the time we really had no clue what was happening. Just by looking at the run, it looked like hacking. Needless to say, we were confused. Luckily after some testing, mentoring, and explanation by Raiden and Flower, we understood the glitch.

By binding your jump to the scroll wheel on your mouse and progressively scrolling as you walk upstairs, you can “Stack” jumps. This is because you can’t jump upstairs while moving forward, and it stores all the jump inputs. That way when you reach the top of the stairs it’ll release all the stacked jumps at once, causing the player to rocket into the air. This allows us to clip through some ceilings in Asylum, as well as get onto the roof of The Inn. With that being said, if you now check the “guides” tab of the leaderboard you should see two guides. One for Stair Hopping and another for a trick called Closet Clipping.

Closet Clipping is a small movement glitch in The Inn that, if done quickly and consistently, can save you time. It’s done by standing in the small courtyard (not the one in front of the cleaning pools) of the Inn and activating a closet in a room on the second floor. Thus teleporting you from the ground floor to the 2nd floor. Saving you from having to walk all the way around if you need to get upstairs quickly.

I really hope you all enjoy the guides. Thanks again to Raiden1 and Flower for the explanations. We wouldn’t have been able to put these guides together without either of you. To the community as a whole: all of you are wonderful, and we’re working very hard to make sure everything continues to run smoothly! If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions please reach out to one of us either on here or the Discord and tell us. Until then, stay safe, and happy running!
