I, uh, have kinda given up on progressing for the foreseeable future. I'm bad at platforming, and after struggling for probably around half an hour to get through one aection that was particularly difficult for me, I was met with a surprise boss fight. Nearest bench before that section. It's brutal. It takes me about 5ish minutes to do that section now, but fuck I wish I were exaggerating. None of the other fights have anywhere near as nasty a runback and it honestly feels like they forgot a bench.

The game is hard and that's fine, but that instance I feel ok bitching about and don't feel like I'm a qhiny pathetic fuck for doing so, which is incredibly telling given how easy it is to make me feel like a whiny pathetic fuck.

I'm not entirely sure which part of the game you're talking about but if you're talking about the section I think you're talking about then you're probably trying to go the wrong way as that section get significantly easier once you have more powers.

If something feels unbelievably difficult chances are you're supposed to go elsewhere. There are quite a few points at the start of the game where you get a difficulty spike and that just means there's a different route to take.

I checked with a friend, and I'm not missing anything sadly. It's the boss at the end of the windy section, before you can go through the big fancy door.

Okay. I was thinking of another point. I just got to the point you were describing and after exploring every nook and cranny on the map there really isn't any other route. But I don't think the route to the boss is that dreadful.

spoiler how to quickly traverse it.You can sprint jump the first 2 platform ignoring the first enemy. You then climb past the first shield enemy but instead of going right you scale the wall on the left. When you get to the top you can sprint jump to the bell that you can pogo off of and get on the platform with the cart in the background. From there if you want an easy passage to the far right wall wait for the black strong gust of wind. You then jump off and use glide. You will glide faster in the black gust of wind and it will skip the enemy there and get you straight in dashing length of the far right wall. Then you climb up and if you're confident with the 2 bell jump just go for that or wait until the enemy below comes up so you could kill it and then you've got all the time in the world to get the two bell jump done.

If you wait for the gust of wind it should take you about 45 seconds to get from the save point to the boss room
