I ran into this on a casual playthrough and it seems pretty easy to do, so I'm making a thread to warn any future runners of this game. When you get to the exit of Sandcastle Desert 3, do NOT jump off Squeak right next to it. He'll just walk into the wall forever lol

Warning: Vulgar language

hahaha yep I have done this before.

Technically its not a "softlock" because you just wait long enough and the water will rise enough to kill you. But it's basically a soft"longggg pause not quite a lock"
