#second blasted steps skip 2

I re-worked Scotty's version of this skip to avoid having to do the precise jump off the platform. I haven't played around with it a ton yet, but I think it has potential. Here's the steps I follow to do this:

  • When jumping to the platform below the flying enemy, float underneath its aggro range to avoid waking it up.
  • Dash into the wall and walljump, holding right until you're just past the background flag.
  • Dash left and immediately hold right so that you begin a sprint turnaround the moment you land. You want to be fairly far right on the platform so you're close enough to cause the flying enemy to away, to the right.
  • Sprint jump a moment after landing, aiming to jump over the flying enemy.
  • If you clear the flying enemy, turn around and pogo it. You should pogo the top of its hitbox, not the side. If you jump into the enemy and get hit, you can still pogo it and make it to the right side. You can also make this step easier by hitting cloak just a moment before doing the pogo to help yourself line it up, but I'm not sure how consistent that is.
  • You can use the chain as a visual cue for timing your dash -> cloak repress in the air. I like to dash and repress cloak just before it.

this only loses about 3 seconds to the fast strat, the jump is very precise though, you need to jump very late as otherwise you will bonk your head. If you miss the jump you can reload the room for not too much timeloss

reaching the right wall is free with this, need to be careful to not bonk your head on it as you can easily be too high

with practice this should be better than the heal strat i think
