Start (The Summit B-Side)

**Start** is the first subchapter of Chapter 7: The Summit B-Side in Celeste. The subchapter is short and makes most of its challenges around using springs and making tight dashes through crystals. In the final room, after reaching the purple orb at the end, the player will be taken to the next subchapter.

## **Gameplay**

Every subchapter in Chapter 7's B-Side will have exactly four rooms. This one, not being based on any previous chapter, will not have much variety in its objects. Some precise aim with your two dashes and good timing to narrowly avoid touching crystals will make up most of the difficulty in this subchapter.

### **Strategies**

Room 1

To start off, jump on the first spring and start moving right a bit, then when you line yourself up with the gap in the heap of crystals, dash straight right. Then, after falling a bit to the right, dash straight right again through the gap in the next heap of crystals and you'll land on a spring. After bouncing, move right and dash straight right, then quickly dash straight up to reach the small platform amidst the crystals which you can jump to the right off of to reach the end of the room.

Room 2

Jump off the ledge to the right and dash straight right, then straight up and move into the spring on the wall. After being bounced right, dash straight up, then diagonally up-left and hit the next spring. After being bounced, dash back straight left, then straight up and move left to bounce off of one more spring. You'll then fall a bit freely, then once you are lined up with some gaps in the crystals to the right, dash straight right once, fall a bit, and then do it again.

Room 3

Jump and dash all the way to the first spring, then before you're bounced too far to the left dash up-right and then straight right to reach the right side of the pillar, then fall into the spring on the right side and be bounced to the right. With this bounce, keep moving right as you dash diagonally up-right over some crystals from the bottom, then straight right to hit another spring and be bounced back to the left. Next, you'll need to dash straight up, then carefully line yourself up to dash straight right through the small gap of crystals and immediately start moving back left to touch the spring and be bounced further right. Do a straight up dash, then fall to the right, then once you are lined up you can dash straight up again and hit the spring above for another bounce right. Do a dash to the right through the gap of crystals, then up-right to make it over the last few crystals and reach the end.

Room 4

Jump off the ledge and dash straight right, then straight up and hit the first spring. You'll be bounced right, and you can then dash straight right and grab the wall. Jump to the left and dash straight up to reach the purple orb, which will launch you upwards to the next section. Dash straight left at the height of your launch, then fall a bit and dash straight left again to reach the purple orb again. Dash straight left after being launched up, then do it again once you'll fallen below the crystals on the left. Climb up the wall until you can jump off it and into the purple orb again. After it launches you upward, dash straight right twice and fall into the spring which will allow you dash again into the purple orb. Grab the right wall and prepare to jump all the way to the left, doing a straight left dash and then a very tight straight upward dash to hit the purple orb a final time and be taken to the next subchapter.
