The sand room is directly beneath the cannon area, so Ammy just falls right in.ĭemonstration: Sand Room Ball Switch Trick The ceiling has no collision, so Ammy goes straight through.

This involves a fairly precise jump, double-jump, and air-tackle-bounce to clear the collision on the wall. It is possible to clip directly into the end of this room from the cannon area on Floor 4. On floor 3, there is a side-room filled with sand which includes a ball-pushing puzzle. This can be skipped with a precise gold dash jump and air-tackle (see ), or with double jump. On floor 4, there is a gap which you are intended to cross by using Galestorm to raise some banner platforms. NG AB can also use double-jump to skip the small cutscene that shows the Waterspout pillar pond on the way out of the cave. On the way back from getting the Ogre Liver, you jump, double-jump, and air tackle off the right edge of the cliff, then Vine directly to the middle flower ( ), then Vine to the next two flowers normally. The aerial wall-jump doesn't seem to work if one has double-jump, so NG AB takes an alternate route. After Vining to the next flower (the middle in line), Ammy can do a mid-air wall-jump to skip the second-to-last flower ( ). On the way back, the first flower can be skipped with a jump from the right edge of the platform ( ). Ammy continues moving during the cutscene, saving some time. While Ammy is being pulled by the last Vine, one can Power Slash the eye switch. The second-to-last flower can be skipped by simply Vining directly to the last one. On the way to the Ogre Liver, the first flower can be skipped by doing a gold dash jump and air tackle for max distance (see ). This is a notable oversight, since it doesn't even require double jump. From there, you can jump down to floor 2 and enter the Ogre Liver section from the exit. This can be skipped by simply jumping and Vining to the flower next to the Imp Merchant on floor 3. In NG+ AB, you can immediately KT out-of-bounds from the Calcified Cavern to reach the loading zone to the main Moon Cave dungeon.Īfter entering the main dungeon area, you are intended to go to the kitchen, rescue Ajimi, and use the key he gives you to open the lockjaw door to get the Ogre Liver. However, it will require you to have travelled to the Gale Shrine to get Galestorm, and to get Lilypad which is skipped in most speedruns besides All Brushes. This method allows you to skip Crimson Helm and the cutscenes in Kamiki Village.

A series of out of bounds jumps can be performed to touch the loading zone, accesssing Moon Cave in New Game. When done properly, Amaterasu can clip through the invisible wall, and subsequently swim underneath the moon cave entrance while out of bounds. Stand on a Lilypad near the corner, and use Galestorm to push your Lilypad into that angle while walking. By travelling to the left into Lake Harami, you can find a corner in the invisible wall in the water. In NG AB, it is possible to bypass the invisible wall using Lilypad and Galestorm. It isn't known why this loading zone exists, as the Moon Cave is normally entered via cutscene, and cannot be left or accessed again later. In NG+ AB, it is possible to enter the Moon Cave without defeating Crimson Helm by KT'ing over a very high invisible wall in front of the cave, then falling into a loading zone placed behind the barrier which normally blocks the entrance. NG+ can skip Wawku via Ark Early, and NG obtains Fireburst Early to melt those blocks instead. Inferno is never required in the remainder of the game, except in Wawku Shrine to melt some ice blocks. In NG+ Any% and NG Any%, the Moon Cave is skipped entirely via City Checkpoint Skip. The Moon Cave is one of the most broken dungeons in speedruns, with a variety of tricks and skips available in all categories.
