Reflection C-Side

**Reflection C-Side** is the C-Side of Chapter 6: Reflection in Celeste. This C-Side is composed of extra large rooms where precise play is needed to avoid the plethora of crystals.

## **Gameplay**

This C-Side won't have some sections seen in the A-Side and B-Side, such as Badeline covering the screen with her vines or taking part in a boss fight. However, the final room is uniquely composed of two parts with a checkpoint in the middle to create a much larger room than usual. The first room has bumpers that you need to bounce on in such a way that the player can do wall bounces. The second room is a descent through a crystal maze where feathers are needed to get around safely. The final room has a section where the player must bring an angry platform down to be used later to go to the right. After this, another section of the room is a long bottomless stretch with only bumpers to make it to the right.

### **Strategies**

Room 1

You'll need to jump off the ledge to the right side of the first bumper, then dash straight left into said bumper and hold no buttons to be bounced just far right enough to be aligned for a wall bounce. Land on the next bumper and move to the right, dashing straight right through the gap in the crystals to land on another bumper. Try to land on the top right of this bumper such that you'll be able to make it far right enough to wall bounce on the platform above and reach the ending ledge.

Room 2

Starting at the top of this room, you must descend to the bottom while avoiding the crystals all around. Jump right and dash right, then fall down while moving a bit to the right, then back left when you collect the dash crystal, then dash straight right to land on the feather below. Take the feather back up and through the windy corridor and then go straight left and fall down the next area when it releases you. Move a bit right, then a bit left, then dash straight right and fall further until you can grab the wall on the left side below. Jump to the right to reach another feather, then carefully guide it up and left, straight up and then straight left, then quickly go down and a bit to the left and then direct it at the wall to the right. Slide down this wall, then jump to the left to make it around the crystals below and dash back straight right and you'll fall to the water below and be able to go to the next room.

Room 3

This room has some skull binoculars available to preview the room, if needed. You'll need to bring the angry platform at the start of this room to the bottom so that you can use it later. Jump down and dash to the left into it, then grab it near the bottom. You'll be safe in a small dip in the wall, then wait for it to move back left to let go and fall to the left into the dash crystal, then dash diagonally up-left into the bottom side of the angry platform. After doing this immediately go to the right to grab the wall before falling into crystals below, then wait a bit before jumping to the left and running across the angry platform to then dash into its left side and grab it to be taken to the left. Grab the top half of the angry platform to be safe while it crashes into the left, then let go and fall into a dash crystal, dash straight left into a bumper, then with the momentum to the right you will be able to dash straight up into the bottom of the angry platform. After this, fall down and dash left after collecting the dash crystal below, then back right as you collect another one and land on the angry platform. When the angry platform starts moving up again, dash left into its right side and grab onto it, then release the grab button and jump to the right when it crashes into the walls to the right. After arriving at one more dash crystal, dash up-right to make it to a safe area.

You'll get a checkpoint at this spot if you die later in the room, and there are more skull binoculars available to preview the room, if needed. Jump to the right and dash straight left into the bumper and hold right, then dash straight up as you pass the next bumper and hold left to bounce to the right from it. After this bounce, you can dash up-right and fall to the left once you pass the crystals covering the bumper below to hit its right side and bounce further right. Dash straight up from your bounce and move left to bounce off another bumper, then dash up-right again and fall to then move left into the right side of another one below. Dash straight up into the dash crystal when you reach it to halt your momentum, then fall to the right and you'll be able to do a wall bounce off of the small platform to get over to the right. Bounce on the bumper below, then fall to the right before bouncing on it again and dash straight left into it to get a bounce to the right. You can then dash into the dash crystal and dash into the Crystal Heart to complete the level.
