Ceiling climb tips?

[askiopop]

I’m right before the first Kala fight and it’s a real gauntlet. I can understand why she can’t get out, I can’t get in.

Anyway, the ceiling climb feels super precise when it doesn’t need to be. I thought I would get a hang of it like I did the pogo stick, but no. You think being stuck right on the ceiling would let you cling, but it seems to be a little lower than that? What are your best tips for pulling this off for a long stretch? Also, I’m playing on Switch. Thank you!

What exactly is your problem? You can just let go for a second and reattach to move around on the ceiling... but I suppose that was necessary long before you got to the Sumeru climb?

Wait what? I’ve kinda been mashing up+y and that’s probably where I’ve been messing up. You can just hang, and then let go and reattach? I don’t have a lot of experience with platformers.

You mean, you haven't been doing stuff like this?

Just hold the X button while you're on the ceiling, and make sure you're aiming up and into the direction you want to go, then let go of the X, and press again before you're too far out of range :-)

I just got the ceiling climb yesterday. Just hold up and tap X. you don't even need to hold right or left (diagonal). She'll just keep going in the direction she's facing.

unlike other platformers, a lot of movement seems very "simplistic", a lot of direction tapping. So, for me anyway, it kinda conflicts with muscle memory. I am annoyed by wall jump though. Constantly overshooting or undershooting the landings and falling all the way back down.
