Skips and Techniques

Air stall

While in midair, use the ranged attack after the apex of your jump to reset your vertical velocity. This allows you to slightly extend your jump distance and reach platforms you wouldn’t be able to otherwise.

Dawn jump

With the “Brilliant Heart of Dawn” item equipped, dashing will significantly increase your movement speed. Dashing before a jump will allow you to go much farther.

Dive laser

The fully upgraded dive skill is able to break most switches in the game. With enough height, you can use this skill to break switches that are too high up or on the other side of gates.

Enemy bounce

By hitting an enemy or projectile while holding ‘down’ or ‘dash’, you can do an air impulse and bounce off of the enemy. This ability can be chained together multiple times, and also refreshes the doublejump ability.

Enemy upslash

The second tier combo skill allows you to perform an upwards finisher attack on an enemy. This gives you a decent amount of height and can allow you to reach certain platforms, especially when combined with doublejump or slash upwarp.

Floor destruction

Breakable floors can be destroyed by landing on them from high enough, using any prayer, the charged attack, the dive attack, or a fully upgraded lunge attack.

Poison run

Most poison areas in the game are able to be damage-tanked through. Tiento works really well to get through, but using the instant-heal glitch may be required on hard difficulty.

Slash upwarp

This glitch works by pressing ‘interact’ one frame after pressing ‘attack’ while overlapping the hitbox of an interactable object. If done correctly, you will be warped up to the object and immediately interact with it.

upCC

This is a combat trick that can be used to quickly kill enemies with lots of health. By repeatedly performing an upslash, then cancelling it with a crouch, you are able to attack much faster.
