The problem is you'd like to grab 4 shards at a time from a region, but you've only got 2.5 seconds and Watchers coming after you! And here are some ways to solve it: This is a very special room: here, you got 52 spike pads split in 4 square regions! To collect shards here, you'll need to act fast, yet precise and prudent. Still, remember that one of these rooms has spike pads in it - so be careful. They are extremely useful in the level completion scheme I'll discuss further: you can easily lure here all of the Watchers and manipulate them the needed way. Here, you'd better wait for the spikes to descend (if possible) and follow the similar scheme as above.Īlong with the Corners, these are your best friends in this zone.

Try and teleport through them, then flee. They are not the Monkeys and will never kill you in the first place unless you get close enough.

If the Watchers have cornered you, don't panic.It's especially important for Teleportation: in some stacked places, you might fail to teleport where you intended to and get pierced by spikes or caught up by the Watcher. When speed boosting and/or teleporting, be careful not to bump into the obstacles, spikes, or the Watchers themselves.Also, better DON'T challenge your fate, running over spike pads after the warning sound: it's always easier to mistime the spikes than to time them right. That's when you'll need the Teleportation, and the further it's able to put you, the better. The best possible cure is to merely avoid them, but, of course, there are situations you can't. It's always better when you know where to run than when you don't. Devise it the easy way for yourself to memorize (at least the main points and directions).Also, construct your route as short as you can (e.g., rather don't traverse same places twice). Run over the spike pads as few as possible (ideally try and avoid or teleport over them).The motivation for doing so is that it will be easier for you to track the collected shards. Split the maze in two parts (left and right) and clear them consecutively.

I only put it here to highlight the idea of how to construct a good route:

Below is the one I've developed for a tabletless run, but it's not ideal and full of tough moments. At the Ring Altar, buff the Teleportation rather than the Speed Boost - you'll see why later.Let's see what you can do in order to beat this part. There will be 3 Gold Watchers coming after you in this maze.
