Pretty sure you don't. I finished it, but before I did my star run.

I think there's an ARG or something happening. Theo's InstaPix account is an actual Instagram account, but the latest two pictures are a little weird. The one from two days ago has some artifacting along the top, and the one from yesterday is really glitched out with a Zalgo text description.

Don't forget what happens in Chapter 5. My guess is that we're just seeing what happens from his perspective. Today's pic is pretty neat though!

Doh, you guys are probably right. The feed so far and the pictures themselves definitely line up with the temple, but somehow I'd already forgotten about what happens there :downs:

All the more reason I need to go back there and find the blue heart!

I have never played a plataformer before Celeste, but I just reached the summit with no assist and it felt great!

Boy did I die tons of times but I feel the game isn't lying when it mentions taking each death as a learning experience. When I started going back to previous chapters to find all the strawbs I managed to reduce my death count of 390 to 20. It's amazing.

I finished my second file last night, just to see how few deaths and how fast, and barely got any strawberries. I didn’t realize it'd change the ending a bit :laugh:

I'm losing my mind on 8c. I can get all the way to the end fairly consistently but there everytime I try to do the speed dash jump thing, (down right dash then jump) she biffs it immediately into the spikes. This didn't give me a problem on the first screen, it works everywhere I try it except here.

Does it not work on ice? I've tried just lightly tapping jump and she gets no distance at all. How do I do this jump?

You gotta hold Down while hitting jump and not let go of Down-Right the whole way.

So, down right, dash, down, jump, hold down right the whole way?

Or down right, dash, jump while continuing to hold down right?

You don't actually need that first jump. You can do a diagonal down-right dash even while standing on solid ground. Just activate the dash, and then immediately press and hold jump.

I kind of like that they teach you this in the very last challenge because suddenly it's like the curtain lifting back and showing you "Here's how you speedrun parts of this game. Your real reward is this final trick." I know I've used it to get my times down in Chapters 1 and 2.

I've been trying to get the Gold Strawberry on Chapter 4 (skipped 3 because those blobs kill me good every time) and I was so close but those snowballs at the end are just the worst! Argh!

Jumping first makes it easier to retain/regain your dash, though in The Core I guess that doesn't matter.

Can someone explain what this person is doing at 6:31?

I keep trying to make this jump and no matter what I never get that extra distance. Looking at it even in 0.25 speed I can't tell what he's doing

Edit: haha holy poo poo I got this literally got it seconds after I made this post I have no idea what I did

You pass through those spikes because right facing spikes only kill you if you're moving left and in the time you're close enough to the wall they're on you do a wall jump

I had to do it again cause I accidentally dashed later, I'm definitely only jumping off the wall in on, not the spike wall, cause I'm hitting the jump button only once on the way up from my first straight up wall jump. I think Celeste head clips through the spikes a little but I'm definitely not jumping off their wall.

I think I figured out which pixel to aim for at least. Getting it about one in ten tries now.

The checkpoint screen that was impossible before I'm now getting second or third try usually.

Currently stuck on screen where there's a ton of spikes winding up. I can successfully jump off of them to get to the wall, then there's a platform above but I've only successfully reached it once in about a hundred tries. Just really hard to get high enough on the wall with enough stamina to make it to that tiny lip and use the last desperate jump. She barely ever gets on that lip.

After that there's some more spikes I'm sure I can wall jump on easily enough, but it will take a few tries, so getting that far every time I haven't gotten very many tries.

No to the former, and the latter won't open until you've beaten all the others.

Finished 3B with 300+ deaths. Somehow not as bad as I thought it would be, the majority of deaths were me trying to find the optimum route to skip some jumps and were massively risky for no reason, haha. Even tried to clown on THE DASHING GUY constantly to reset my jumps, just because.

Now to find all the other B-sides and hearts et al! 3B was the only one I found so far.

This game is amazing.

badass devs: "oh hey, that's kinda cool, we'll leave that in"

Yeah, I would've liked those bumpers a lot more if they didn't sway around so much. Even though its only for a few pixels their motion just seems to mess me up a lot. (or maybe it's all in my head and their hitbox doesn't actually move?)
