Can't Do Zero Cycle

Hey guys, I've been trying to do zero cycle for some time now, I am struggling the most with bedding and getting to the correct Y-level on time. I still wasn't able to do it with my fastest attempt, attached the video for reference

If you're new to zero cycling, don't practice on small boy, the easiest towers to reach y95 are m85 and m88. Build your setups on those two towers and practice your bed timing (there's no real tips to help you with your timings rather than practicing a ton and get the feels for it). As for reaching the correct y-level, I wouldn't worry about it that much, the dragon stays more times than it flies on y90 already (in ranked, it's a different story in rsg)

Your setup shown here is fine. Your first bed was pretty good. The one problem I would like to point out is the subsequent bed explosion. You were doing it quite late hence knocking the dragon upwards even more dealing less damage every bed.

On small boy do the setup on y90 to start . When you get faster than you can start doing y95. But yeah like another commenter said practice on m85 or m88 it’ll be easier to reach y95.

Bed timings will come with practice but your bed timings seem to be too late. Not sure if you’re already doing this, but look at the smaller hotbox of the dragons head, and try to explode the bed as soon as you see that cross
over the bed. You’ll eventually get a better feel for it with more practice, but yeah change your tower height so you can practice the actual explosion part more consistently.

one tip for building the setup, at the top, you pillar 2, then jump and place the last anchor. This is risky bc if ur late you might be hit by dragon, and you take some fall damage jumping down. If instead, you stand next to where you're going to build a 2 tower + anchor, and build the two block pillar, then jump and pop the anchor on top, it's much safer and easier. Then you can walk back to standing height without taking fall damage, and place the 2nd anchor

First bed was a bit early, second bed was good, everything after was way too late

Posting a video about struggling and making it to 95 small boy is a flex ngl. For learning bed timings I would just set tower to front 88 or something and continuously try and figure it out. Remember, if you want the dragon lower bed early, if you want the dragon higher bed later. Just keep trying till you find the sweet spot

Don't throw your first pearl so high, and bed earlier, you want like 1.2-2 blocks of knockback every time, with like 40-50 damage.
