Antarctica wind skip, Castle spear skip

Cumbria, England

I've found specific ways to get to the big jump in Antarctica fast enough to jump over between wind cycles.

  1. For wind of back, forward, back:

Be aware that for this one, you have to be pretty reactive for the next jump to avoid the swordfish.

  1. For wind of forward, back, back:

In both cases, the jumps you do are pushing your x-pos forward slightly enough that you can get past that yeti then stop moving for a beat. Note that back-back screws you either way.

This should hopefully make faster cycles a bit more consistent and give us more chance of lower times.

In the Castle, Sacrieon a while ago found a way to skip the final Knight spear cycle. After looking into it, it turns out the flame's fall trigger is slightly before the last spear set. So the most reliable setup is to do some comfortable movement that drops the flame early. That gives you far wider margin to jump forward without being hit.
