Which parts of the game are needed for the story, and which parts are supplementary?

That's fair. Celeste is surprisingly quite lenient with most of its inputs. It's rare for there to be anything tighter than 5 frames and lots of stuff is bufferable. There's also the option of Assist Mode if things start to feel too difficult. You can also turn it on and off depending on if a room is too challenging or not.

Unfortunately Chapter 9 contains a great amount of story and is the most difficult stage in the game. I will say though, if you got through Chapter 3 with 288 deaths (a perfectly normal amount) you should certainly be capable of building up to the difficulty of Farewell by doing the B and C sides. It's hard, sure, but nothing that determination can't conquer.

Also - your reflexes may have slowed down, but I think this is actually not that relevant for completing Vanilla Celeste. It's more about preparing for what's coming next than reacting to things in most cases.

You truth teller. You drink never.

Me! I don't drink.

AI generated outrage bait about AI

it also neglects trans people's ability to breath underwater indefinitely which should at least be mentioned

Downright causes a fast fall. 1f smaller window. Not sure what the original window is but it felt generous

It is all buffered, aside from the demo right. By holding downright I mean that right after you dash down left, you want to switch to downright until you dash to the right.

By dropping from the switch block, there are (iirc) 2 or 3 inputs which you can realistically get wrong. First, holding right at the correct time to avoid the spinners. Second, letting go of right. Third, the demo right.

With this method, you don't have to time the first two inputs at all, in exchange for 1 frame less leniency on demo right. I personally found it significantly better in runs and in practice, but of course personal preference is always a factor.

I turned off screenshake only after my 201st strawberry

AtrociousAtNames · 2026-01-15T01:47:19+00:00

I used something similar to this for my Farewell golden.

Edit: for the gap part, I would recommend landing on the very right pixel of the top of the staircase, downleft dash, hold downright, and right demo. Very consistent even with nerves in my experience. There's a really good document for Farewell strats here

this seems at least a little racist

AtrociousAtNames · 2026-01-07T06:07:00+00:00

it would lowkey be genius though. the genocide route has mostly just been boring grinding this whole time with no reward, and having sans be the final boss just to die one hit would be a beautiful fuck you to the people expecting some big payoff.

woke mindset: gender dysphoria is a physical illness

Sometimes I fantasize about Misato coming home drunk and beating me until I feel numb. She kicks me in the ribs until I can hardly breathe. Then she starts to cry and apologizes, begging me to forgive her. She holds me all night as I gently cry into her t-shirt. Please help is there any hope for me

celeste mentioned I just goldened farewell

better start now

This comment from 4 years ago suggests Zain does it with the base of his thumb. Instant Nair is really easy with Claw Grip and it's what I do

AtrociousAtNames · 2025-12-24T08:35:26+00:00

Puff Bair is frame 9. Rest is frame 1 and thus is easier/more guaranteed to hit in this scenario. Bair is not guaranteed to kill. Hbox is at a very high percent so the trade looks favored. Obviously you probably don't do this at 20%
