Didn't know you could skip that section using ledge grab manipulation, also looks faster:

Payman wrote:The first section wasn't the best because of the ending where I messed up the purple lum rope and collision was against me, the second section was good with Rock and Lava door clip though I got a little disoriented with the camera's angle after the clip, the final section was pretty good with what I handled with the wall cycles.

Payman wrote:The first section was good until the second cage where I lost 3 seconds doing a backup, the second section was near perfect with the roll boost movement and got the RNG optimization at the end, the final section was decent but sadly I lost 2 seconds from taking damage from a fuzzball and 3 seconds to the teensie cage break.

Looks pretty technical, I guess we'll see if it ends up being used.

Are you going to play the PC version? If yes, this guide should already get you a long way.

Payman wrote:The first visit for the level was good. My airswim movement was good in the first section, the second section was optimal with the roll boosting, the third section was okay but I got shot by a pirate, the fourth section was optimal with the machine and roll boosts, the fifth section the movement was great but some safe strats with the tornadoes. However the second visit was doable, I didn't get the instant fadeout from the airswim while the early echoing caves clip took a while for Rayman to clip through the wall and when getting ready to stop my timer I missed the loading zone and got shot by the pirate.
