i'm stuck below mantis village
If you are aware if you use the bench at the bottom of the mantis village near the dash master charm and don't have wall jump you can get stuck as 1 of the platforms can not be reached without wall jump. I tried pogoing an enemy (young mantis) but it has not worked and the bouncy mushrooms so far can not give me enough height to reach said platform. I need help if you can spare the time. Thank you.

You can get back up. It's been a while since I played that section, so I don't recall the exact method, but I don't recall it requiring anything weird to do so.

You can bounce off the mushrooms by slashing downwards. I don't think you can exit that area without walljumping, but you can definitely reach the powerup you need to walljump.
If you go left (into the Mantis Village) you will acquire some new ability that will help you reach new places.

I think that OP is stuck under the Mantis Village and can't reach it.

Ah, now I think I understand the problem. Yes, I agree, this part can be tricky.

Here is a quick video solution I recorded for you (only using dash):

Have fun and good luck 🙂 Remember to pogo the bouncy mushroom the second time. As you noticed, the first time it doesn't give you enough height. But the second time it does. I think you can also use dash right at the top of first bounce, but bouncing the second time is probably easier.

It's worth noting that pogoing multiple times doesn't actually get you extra height; you're going higher the second time because you are hitting the mushroom from higher up, and it sends you a fixed distance.
Good point, I haven't thought of that. I re-recorded the video, because I had Mark of Pride equipped on the previous one. Just to show that even with default Nail range it's totally possible.

thank you all, I'll try it out.

I stuck near that place, but I cant get higher or inside village. I had no problem jumping to that platform. Any ideas except jumping on mantis? I've done it once to get to next step, but there is another one above.

You mean that you can't get past the point further, which I didn't record on the video (link above)?

With jump + dash in the air you can get over the hill over the acid pool, and after that you need to jump across + dash in the air to the far left side of the room (above the ground, on the platforms). It's much easier if first you kill all the mantis there.

If you have some other place in mind, please share screenshots or video.

Yeah you should be able to make the jump to get further into the village, you just need some momentum is all. Venture around in their and you should find the claws.

As long as you are aware of mushroom jump, you don't need walljump to get into the mantis. village. If you can reach the right side of the mantis village, in front of the acid, just jump+dash. However, don't forget to jump from the higher edge, I stuck for so long because I only tried to jump next to the acid.:steamfacepalm:
