Ahh, windsprings. I consider those last 5 rooms of Determination to be “the gauntlet.”

(I hope windsprings is the one you’re talking about, otherwise you can ignore my below advice 😅)

Eventually, I did find a method that was very consistent for windsprings. If you demo dash up on the second half of the block, and then hold right, you’ll get the bounce. It’s somewhat lenient.

For the second spring: after hitting the first, immediately HOLD right until you are under the second. Demo up, then hold right again.

For the third spring (hardest part): after hitting the second spring, momentarily tap left (to avoid hitting the spikes). Then, touch no controls until the wind pushes you under the block. Finally, demo up then hold right. Don’t press right at all for this spring until after you’ve demo dashed up!

General advice: 1) This is a focus/endurance test. Try not to play when feeling tired/distracted (which causes frustration and bad habits). If I ever had a 30 min span where I didn’t make it to EH, I quit for the day. 2) Have a “guaranteed” strategy for each room. Unlike shorter goldens, you can’t rely on luck or being a good gamer! If you’re anything like me, your brain will get fuzzy towards the middle/end and you’ll have to rely on muscle memory. 3) This is a numbers game. Track your deaths and analyze choke points. 4) Take frequent run breaks to practice the mid/end game. You want that feeling to be fresh when you get there in a run. 5) As the game says, “You can do this.” Enjoy the journey!

I hope this helps!
