This level may look threatening to casual players, but it's very easy to cheese.
- Most of the level is pretty self-explanatory, the gaps above and below the Mincers are wide and easy to fit through. Just stay at the top of the screen for most of the level.
- Enguarde cannot build speed against floors and ceilings, so it's theoretically optimal to swing out around the corners and then cut them as closely as possible. However, this only saves time if it's done very optimally - otherwise it loses time. For RTA runs, it's recommended to just push against the ceilings and floors and not go for perfect corner cuts.
- At 0:41, make sure to slow down slightly and move to the left to avoid the first Mincer. You can wait one extra cycle for safety before stabbing to the left.
- There should be no risk of getting an Expresso minigame but this token is easy to avoid.
- After getting shot out of the blast barrel at 0:52 you can wait for the Mincer to pass and then just go above it, but it's slightly faster to stab under it and start moving up immediately. Ideally you want to move far enough down to hit the wall below, if you start moving up too soon you can easily get stuck in the passageway from the blast barrel and bonk the ceiling which forfeits the time save from this maneuver.
