I was messing around in postgame Moonbrooke and suddenly started teleporting around while using the cape. I watched the entire world record vod and didn't see this glitch being used, so I assume it's not known. I don't understand it fully, but I've deduced the steps necessary to recreate the glitch:
- While gliding, press your attack button to perform the landing attack. We already use this a lot to gain height.
- Take note of the height your character was at when you pressed the attack button. During your attack's ascent, you must use the analog stick to steer your character over ground that is higher than the aforementioned height.
- Pause the game before you start descending (OPTIONS button)
This basic version of the glitch will instantly teleport you ~4 blocks upward. It can go through thin ceilings if set up properly. More commonly, you'd use this to drastically reduce the amount of time it takes to climb up cliffs. You can even set up downwarps through thin floors by placing blocks above your head.
The exact displacement you receive is entirely dependent on the geometry of the cliff you're climbing. When near a ledge, you'll often be displaced ~1 block backwards on the frame after you unpause, making it hard to land. I found a spot at the docks in moonbrooke that gives me a double upwarp for about ~15 blocks of free, instantaneous height. Another good spot is in the wall of the other dock (on the way to the blue octahedral thing) to teleport on top of the crane instead of building up to it like the WR does.
I also found something and I call it "The Drowning Glitch" this could be for Skeletraz, the island where you are captured speedruns. I found out if you just drown yourself a bunch, you can literally be teleported closer to your cell! I Don't know if that saves anytime or not, but idk. (Also little edit, this is for when you're about to escape the island)
