Parkour Boots

[Nathan_infinity]

for the love of me i cant make them work more then once and now i can't advance in the game anymore, anyone has a tip to be able to do the move easily?

Hi Nathan_infinity! If you can only use them once in a row, then it's probably related with insufficient stamina level: the wall jump consumes 2 stamina slots, so in order to execute two consecutive wall jumps, for example, you should upgrade your stamina to at least level 4.

If you need info on how much stamina relics use (and the commands on how to use them), you can always check the Stats tab in the pause menu, where you will find all the key combinations and the associated stamina/rage cost.

Hope that helps!

I have 5 stamina levels, but I'm not sure I'll able to use those boots the right way. It seems I do something wrong and use the paper wings after 1 jump or something. I find this parkour boots very hard. I use a controller.

EDIT: Got now 6 stamina but still aren't able to get the move right.

[undercoders]

Hey missiloon! The wall jump takes 2 stamina levels to work, so you should have enough to execute 3 in a row with 6 stamina levels. It seems it has to do with how you're executing the move.

The parkour boots work similar to the wall jump in Super Metroid: you have to press jump + the opposite direction of the wall you're facing. For example, if the wall is on your right side, jump towards it and press left+jump to execute the wall jump. You can also use the move after a double jump.

Hope that helps! You can always check how to use the relics in the Stats tab in the pause menu too!

`Thank you, finally got it. I'm use to games where you have to face the wall for jumping up.

Glad that worked for you missiloon! :)

Hey, can someone clarify the timing + placement needed to execute the wall jump? in particular, how to do a series in order to ascend a vertical hallway?

I feel so stupid not being able to do it... I was able to do it once, but that was it and definitely not multiple in a row. :(

I upgraded to 7 stamina slots, but the stamina runs out so quickly bc if you do the wall jump wrong, I'm automatically using Paper Wings like OP had described...

I'm also using a controller. Is this easier to do on keyboard?

Eta: I'm pretty sure there was some kind of glitch (looked like I was just scaling up the wall), but I finally got up to the secret area right outside where you get the boots. I'm now back to not being able to reliably replicate the wall jump, glitched or otherwise. 😞

[The Nothing Man]

yeah same, as you cold
I mean I KNOW metroid in and out, but I cant get up walls,
seems the game just triggers double jump and glide, which should have been put on another button imo.
I have 7 stam, cant do a single wall jump.. doh bart

[coldeadfish]

Yup, it's definitely an issue due to it being the same button... I've gotten to the point where I can manage to do 3 WJ's in one "area," but bc I messed up on one of the WJ's, I fall down bc I'm out of stamina (and yes, I have the stamina-enhancing MP3 player equipped)...

Please make this move more forgivable, Undercoders, I beg you!!! Would be slightly easier if the stamina cost were 1 instead of 2 given you automatically lose more stamina if you mess up due to gliding with Paper Wings.

[The Nothing Man]

welll methinks again the key is that the same button for jump if you hold it slows your fall instead of jumps off a wall, I finally got to use it in the easy places but as for those secret gem areas high up etc, nah.. not happening.. love the game tho.

[coldeadfish]

Have you beaten the game, Kaldire? Is WJ needed to progress in the game? I'm completely stuck after beating the Spy Pig...

[The Nothing Man]

yes you MUST wall jump to get to an area to complete the game
must..

spy pig? there are 3 areas you can go in without wall jump just you wont be able to get everything, same with new bombs for grey walls

what floors do you have unlocked?
for me it was odd as I unlocked floors in this order,
1, 2 4 5 6 3
odd i know.

[coldeadfish]

Ahhh, I just found the place where I had to WJ in order to get to the server room where you open all the gates... Except I'm looking at the map now and have no idea what gates were suddenly opened... *sobs*

I wish devs would color add some kind of color coding to help us navigate the map!

I've only gotten to elevators that open floors 1-5. Although, weirdly, when I access an elevator, it won't let me press 5....? 😵‍💫

[The Nothing Man]

urm they did add the color...
you should notice the rooms have this odd outline as if there is more to see, esp roofs
if you did the wall jump where you met your new pal, you unlock the LOWER servers.
MOST of these are just rooms with safes and gems.. mostly
they are located at the BOTTOM of EVERY shaft in that section..(server section)

also in order to use the elevator for a lvl, you have to first jump IN the elevator to unlock it.. then just exit.
I did that too on floor 5
and had to run allllllll the way back just to unlock the thing.

so yeah from the unlock area, down left down left down left that loooonnng area below all areas.. thats the server lower area, you will see what I mean by the outline that says there is more to see in the room, its not a solid square

hugs lemme know

[coldeadfish]

Yea, I see the "Lego block indents" or "hazy edge" places showing where you haven't explored yet, but what I meant was that I wished devs had color-coded the different areas, or just plain had ID markers for them. Right now, everything is red and white with no markers.

I finally figured out that what they meant by lower gates, but the word "gates" is so nondescriptive, lol. Like, it would have been nice had the "gates" that opened had been highlighted on the map like what happens when you find a new info box.

Btw, thanks for the elevator tip! Ugh! I'm sure that's exactly what happened to me, haha.

[The Nothing Man]

np mate, imo I think it should be changed just from finding the location to trigger it to let you use it
OR

but a toggle next to it like POWER on this ele..etc
