yeah so turns out you can just run straight across the lava and don't have to slow yourself down by jumping or dashing...

1:43 - if you time a regular attack here right it saves a lot of time compared to dashing twice

2:07 - had a very bad line here because the controls randomly swap directions during the cutscene, can be done much faster with a straight line

2:29 - the earlier you send this attack the better, it automatically brings you to the middle of the room after the cutscene anyways so best to attack right away and risk getting stunned at the stairs

2:36/2:43 - its best to get this attack as you can just walk past them when theyre doing it. I messed up the first one because I thought it started the alternate attack pattern so I wasted time by double jumping but ignoring the attacks saves time here

2:50 - there is a ledge somewhere on the side of this island/against the wall of the next one that you can reach without having to punch after dashing (you can reach it with just a dash which is faster) but I wasn't able to get there consistently so I went with the safer strategy

3:03 - idk if you actually have to jump here, I never tested it another way so that would be faster if you could do it with just a dash I think
