Nature form "wall climbing" contest.

[Cryzbl]

Since this is by far the hardest (non-glitch) move in the game, I'd thought it would be nice to have a contest about it.

rules
No briar rockets. (although proving this is going to be a matter of trust )
You can briar boost if you want, it won't get you there anyway.
Must take screenshot of map and game.
It's ok to edit the picture to aesthetically enhance it.

The prize is a deep sense of personal satisfaction and achievement.


Here are my entries

The veil (2nd area)

Didn't feel like doing the right one, I get way more glitches right then left

That is just too awesome!

[Chibi]

Very good entries Cryzbl - I think we'll be hard pressed to do better.  BTW, what on earth is in the top left of the second veil area? It's a thin blue object with pink spines or fronds coming out the top.

Sorry I just can't handle those briars at all well so I will abstain from this contest

I have absolutely no idea, it's the first time that thing showed up...

Also that one was surprisingly easy, my first try after coming up with the idea of a contest

That is just too awesome!

I must admit that I've found some neat shortcuts to recover quickly if I fell off.

What REALLY annoys me with the briars happens when throwing a briar then landing below it: I then have to balance precariously while I either wait for it to disappear or throw another three. Surpassing that, however, is the feeling of exhausted frustration after briar-platforming extremely high only to fall all the way back down.

And Naija shooting of in completely oposite direction to your curser  

Oh and what are those shortcuts may I ask? Reply in a spoiler please Cryzbl

[Chibi]

I believe he's talking about the keyboard shortcuts that control form-changing (number keys and "x"), though I would be greatly interested if I were mistaken.

Same here chibi, though how changing to beast or any other can halt or recover your fall I don't know at all, but changing to fish is not a good idea as you put so well in another thread

[Cryzbl]

Here's my strategy:

Plant a briar as high as possible then change to beast form and drink some speed increasing soup. Jump to the briar (should be easy now) and change back to nature while jumping. You skipped a large part of the beginning of the wall, in turtle cave you can easily get to the highest blob of water and skip a whole lot.
When the briar you're on is pointing down:
Take small steps, aim at the wall (almost right above the previous briar) and shoot, move your mouse up a little bit (the steeper the wall is the lower you should aim) and jump. Shoot and jump basically.
When the briar you're on is pointing up:
Jump first then aim to the lower right corner and shoot, or wait until you land and shoot a 'safety briar' afterwards.
Though I have to admit, the transition between those is the hardest part...

Whenever you find yourself inside the briar, you'll get a huge rather uncontrollable boost. I hate those... However this glitch happens way more if the wall is right of naija.

[Chibi]

Good strategy - I've never come across the within-the-brier jump before.

[Align]

oooerr... Best I've got is climbing the sun temple top two rooms (from the bigger room, not the narrow shaft you can walljump up).

I don't like those either I have dropped of the walls far to often bacause I ended up inside one, and shooting down while jumping forget it i am just a lost cause

[Xiagan]

Amazing. Good job! I'm not talented enough for that I believe.
I take the seat beneath Silver and watch your stunts.

[silverflagon]

Oh come on Xiagan surely you are better than me? Everyone has got to be better at this than I am
