Scrap Pit

**Scrap Pit** is the third and final subchapter of Chapter 1: Forsaken City B-Side in Celeste. The subchapter has the trickiest challenges revolving around traffic light block momentum in the whole chapter. The red Crystal Heart to complete the B-Side can be found in this subchapter.

## **Gameplay**

In all of the rooms here (aside from the last one), traffic light blocks are integral to completing the challenges, and specifically knowing how to utilize the momentum properly. Whether it be holding onto their sides and being flung over or standing on top of them and jumping at the right time, knowledge on how to boost yourself forward is crucial.

### **Strategies**

Room 1

Jump above the spikes and dash right to the grab the traffic light block, then when it reaches the top let go and move yourself to the right side of it. Grab the right side of the traffic light block and hold on until it lowers back down, then jump to the disappearing platform to get your dash back. Then, jump back and grab the traffic light block and boost yourself up, moving to the right to grab the side of the other traffic light block. When that block moves down, immediately jump up and fall into the small hole created, then do a wall jump off the right side of the traffic light block and dash straight up to finish the room.

Room 2

Grab onto the first traffic light block and ride it to the right, then jump off and grab the side of the next traffic light block. Be sure to NOT let go after it gets to the top or you'll be flung into spikes. After waiting a bit, jump to the right and dash straight right to grab the third traffic light block. Jump over the top of this traffic light block when it reaches the right and carefully far through the hole, avoiding spikes. Do some jumps up to the dash crystal in the gap up at the right and continue right, using a dash to get up to the corridor allowing you to finish the room.

Room 3

This room has some skull binoculars available to preview the room, if needed. This room will have some tricky jumps to avoid spikes and also land on traffic light blocks. Jump to the first traffic light block and ride it up to be thrust upward and land on the next traffic light block, with a dash if needed. Boost yourself up with this traffic light block and dash up to grab the lower small traffic light block on the right. From then, quickly jump upward and move to the right to grab the other side of it, then jump on top of it to refresh your dash and dash straight up to the end of the room.

Room 4

This room will be a lot of traffic light block momentum challenges around spikes with only dash crystals inbetween. Jump onto the first traffic light block and get a boost up, then do a diagonally up-right dash to get over the second traffic light block, which you should grab the right side of. From there, jump off and fall in the small gap and move back left into the dash crystal, then jump off of the traffic light block and use your dash to get to the next one. Get a boost up from this one but be careful of accidentally dying to the spikes facing the other way. You'll need to do a jump up before the traffic light block reaches the end, or you die. After being boosted up, move right and fall down, then dash onto the top of the final traffic light block. Boost up from here and use a dash to make it to the end of the room, but also be careful not to use your dash at the same time you pass the spikes, or you'll die.

Room 5

A lot of moving parts are important to keep track of this room and keeping track of your dash is crucial. Grab the first traffic light block and fling yourself to the right, grabbing onto the traffic light block you arrive at. Move slightly left and you get boosted up from this traffic light block and then dash to the left to reach the next traffic light block. Ride it to the left and when it stops jump onto the small disappearing platform, then jump back onto the traffic light block. When you arrive back at the right, do a diagonal up-left dash and grab onto the next traffic light block and ride that to the left. From there, jump into the dash crystal and then dash straight up and land on the disappearing platform, then get across to the other disappearing platforms and when you reach the right, grab onto the traffic light block's left side. This one will fling you into another one which also flings you into another one which launches you right to the end of the room, which you can dash into.

Room 6

This will be the cassette block room of the chapter. Right before the blocks turn to blue, jump forward and dash straight up and climb the right side of the first blue block quickly, then land on it. Jump from it to the pink block, then jump again forward and stall at the left wall in the lower area. Jump down when the blocks turn to blue and stand stationary, then dash straight to the right just before the blocks change color. Do this until you reach the right, where you can climb up into the dash crystal and dash into the Crystal Heart to win the level.
