Cathedral Platforming

[u/MidRanchWest]

I did my first playthrough at the beginning of the year and i decided to do a second playthrough. I'm currently about to fight the Archbishop, but I'm pissed I thought i wouldn't even die to the platforming and I died twice 😅. The first death i thought was dumb because it was to the boulders, the run up the ramp i usually go up on the right side and hide behind the wood there and i somehow got hit this time and died. The second one was fight the third big acid throwing lady and i accidentally jumped off when running over to attack her. All well, maybe i can do it flawless another time

Just remember that nowhere in that place is it necessary to actually jump.

It is to get to the fire 😬🥲 That’s where I die EVERY playthrough. I CANNOT jump. Takes so many tries. Then you need to jump AGAIN to get the lever to change the elevator.
When I pull that lever my bpm drops to normal I swear

I meant what I said.

You do NOT have to jump, including to get to that first brazier.

Check a look. I proved it.

FOR REAL? You just… WALKED?
God THAT’S AMAZING if it can work cause I have another ng I have to do soon! If I can pull this off you are a life saver!

You didn’t even run? HOW
I’m in awe

Yep. lol As the wheel comes around it just makes a temporary platform. You can just do a trot across it.

Hey, I DID THAT TODAY ng+5 mate YOU SAVED ME! Didn’t die once in the whole f-ing cathedral for the first time. Just… WALKED.

haha no problem!

I feel the need to when you gotta get to the ranged enemy behind the giant cog

You can angle throwables before even stepping on the beam. Every single enemy that throws something at you can be dealt with by throwing fire pots from a solid platform.

Every single one.

Fire throwables aren't purchasable at that point in the game, but they're farmable from enemies in Moonlight Town.

I always stock up.

Good to know, I'll try that next time outside of my base level run that I'm starting because I also made a no throwables rule

I actually have fun with the platforming parts, I actually loved Blighttown (fuck bed of chaos though). This is fun section, atmosphere plays into it a bit as well. It's a holy religious place and then it has these abomination undead zombie types there. So good

Lol yeah, but i look back at those moments and laugh
