Without spoiling it - what are the easiest crystal hearts?

[wongojack]

I need 4 hearts to play the epilog, and I have 3 (City, Old Site, Resort). I have had to get a hint for each of the first 3 hearts although I was sooo close to getting the Resort heart without help.

Anyway, I would like to know which crystal heart folks think is the easiest of the remaining options. At this point, I've only unlocked 4 B-Sides, but I could go for more of those if any of those hearts are easy.

AGAIN - please don't spoil it. I just want to know which heart to go after. I assume its not "The Summit," so we are probably dealing with "Golden Ridge, Mirror Temple, or Reflection unless one of the B-sides is easier.

It really depends on your skill-set. For me, the 6th heart is the easiest A-side heart that's left, but your mileage may vary. B-sides will also be a good place to snag some, especially the first 2.

Chapter 4's is incredibly easy, as long as you know how to do it.
in fact, I got it on my first time playing Chapter 4.

That's the windy level? The wind bothered me more than the other crap, and I haven't figured a crystal heart out by myself yet, so odds are I don't know how to do it.

Thanks for all the tips - went for lvl 6 (Reflection) and got it pretty easily. Luckily, I had my notes from lvl 1 handy.

4A's is unusual because it requires knowledge from outside the game. You have to know a secret from Super Mario Brothers 3 in order to know how to get the heart (without some very advanced techniques). If you know the SMB3 secret, it's one of the easiest hearts; but if you don't it's nearly impossible to figure out.

In SMB3, crouching on a white block for 4 or 5 seconds would drop you into the background of the level. SMB3 used it to hide various items behind the end of the stage, and Celeste uses it to open up a new platforming path.

Yeah, I never would have figured that out. I'm one of those weirdos who is old enough to have been around for the release of the SMB games but doesn't really like them. I think they are good games, but I just don't enjoy playing them. Part of the reason is all the secrets and exploits. I guess I'm the odd duck that thinks that your game shouldn't be very secretive.

I didn't know that secret but have got this heart easily. A white block seemed too unusual there. I just attempted to make something with it.
