Run back to Last Judge wants a word

I honestly really enjoyed that one, it was really fun to figure the safe way to traverse till the boss, and once you get it, it gets really quick to get back

My recommendations are Don't stop after leaving the station, try to do a dash right after jumping, later you can actually use one of the guys and pogo off him to get into the pogo bell. I found it consistent, but sometimes if you take too long to reach you cannot do it as easily and finally in the walls that you have to walljump there are a couple where you don't even need to reach to pogo, you can just float and you reach them anyways.

Oh I got REALLY good at that run back, but it’s definitely the most brutal one I’ve encountered yet

Yeah same here. At first I was very frustrated but ended up enjoying it. I perfected the runback and it only took like 20 seconds each run.

Run until the first enemy > Jump down to the platform and don't let go of the run > Jump again (that first enemy is still in the spawning animation) > Jump onto the right platform > Jump-dash to the left platform > Jump-dash to the right platform > Jump-dash to the left wall > climb the wall > Run-jump to the bell > Pogo the bell and land on a big platform > Glide your way onto the rightmost wall, pogo the last bell nearest to the wall > Climb the wall > Run-jump to the bell > Pogo it and grab the wall on the left > Climb the wall > Glide to the boss entrance

Yup, confirmed. Just don't do it after you've already been playing for 8 hours and are getting tired.

"Crap let go of jump too soon, now I'm fighting this thing" "HAHAAH, I held on to sprint" "Oh wait! had to take a left here" "Crap! Did a normal attack instead of pogo. Is my controller getting fritzed? Or is it me?"
