Here is a glitch to skip the first ladder on the pyramid in Moroe. simply put some object in front of you, like the jeep shown here and then do the rolling glitch at a precise angle. Then align yourself to the ladder and make sure you don't accidentally jump. Do this slightly incorrect and you will get stuck.
It is not new, but good to have footage of it. You can also do that with the closer ladder, so you only need to move straight up from what I remember.
Does it only stop fall damage or does it also break kill floors? Because breaking kill floors is one big usage of chalk glitch, you can roll into lava and survive (used for example in Canyonlands at the very start of the game).
I tested it and sadly it only stops fall damage and doesn't break kill floors like chalk. However you can use this instead of having to turn backwards whenever you are trying to jump far down. Holding the "down" arrow key also helps with fall damage. (As shown in my electric ball skip video)
Hey, nice find. It's also working with the satchel charge (a bit faster than the whip). With that I can get the skip in Nub's tomb more constantly done. It's still too hard to make it in a single level run, but in a full run where you can use savestates, I would try it now.
I'd probably still go for the whip in full game to preserve healing items (also, I don't know where to loot satchels) but nice find
Yeah, satchel would only be useful in a single level run. It isn't worth to use it in a full game run.
