Twitch icon.svg And watch Xelna do it fast.

Notice that he talks to the NPC from as high as possible, holds up-left after the dialog and then uses the item switch to confirm his position. After the warp he does not need to move at all to dig. Link ALWAYS digs to the right, unless you are holding < on the D-pad.

Gibos before Hellway

Gibos can move in 6 directions

Enter the room, avoid getting slowed down by the Bastard Door, recognize the movement pattern of the lower Gibo and dodge as much as you have to. Using the item switch to bombs as a buffer is helpful, but there are also other opportunities to use that menu to consider.

If the bottom Gibo moves...

  • north: you can dash immediately
  • north-east, east or south: you have to walk halfway down the room before you can dash and stop in front of the statue
  • north-west or south-west: you have to get dangerously close to the bottom spikes

Dash here Don't worry about bonking

Don't touch the d-pad when you start your first dash to increase the chance of landing in the right position, that allows you to dash inbetween the spikes. The first Gibo will only be in your way if it moves straight north or south. The door at the end of the hallway is very generous when it comes to dashing through: As long as you are at least one pixel away from the statues left or right, you will not bonk. This is another room in which the pause buffer to bombs can be helpful.

You can look at the distance between Link and the statues to aim your dash into the door. File

Often it is worth taking an intentional hit for the invincibility, because it is easy to take a lot more damage when lingering in the room. File

To get boosted north like this, you need to walk down-left into the upper half of the spike. File

Upstairs Bomb Floor

Final opportunity to use the item switch to bombs as a buffer.

  1. Hold right and drop the bomb as soon as possible. You cannot use bombs while still inside the door.
  2. Keep holding right until you reach the wall. This way you avoid the enemy below.
  3. If the Buzz above you is coming down, slash up.
  4. Grab the bomb, walk down slightly inbetween the tables and throw the bomb. The bomb will miss if you are not far enough away from the target.
  5. Walk back up to the rail and dash out the door. If no enemy was in your way, you will need to delay the dash for the bomb to explode. Make sure you touch the rail or you might get hit on your way out.
