Few questions about getting a piece of pale ore in the crystal peak

[Doctor Fetus]

- is it actually possible to get it w/o double jump, by bouncing on the head of a miner nearby?
- if yes than - how hard is to perform that trick? And does charms like longnail and mark of the pride help to make it easier?

That's an interesting thought. I have seen people do something similar to reach a grub in Forgotten Crossroads (using one of those mosquitos as a jumping off point). If it works, you should be able to tell pretty quickly. I don't expect it to be hard. I do think using mark of pride or longnail will help because you wouldn't need to fall as much before you reach contact distance between your nail and miner head.

Yes, it possible. This guy did it:

Mark of Pride/Longnail can help but it depends how it suits you personaly. I for example like to have Quickslash too for nailjumping.

Oh cool, thanks for the link. Jumping over that crystal must be much easier tham messing with a miner.

LobosJr did it on his first playtrough, aswell as doing a few other minor sequencebreaks
