Depending on the run, Black Knight Early is a trick that allows us to reach the Black Knight Monster Token or the Black Knight boss fight without going through the Attic levels. We are able to jump across the gap in the stairs and around a few invisible walls to reach a small piece of collision that we can Super Smash onto. From there, we can jump up to the top of Cower in the Tower.
