This prompts experimentation with various jumping methods in the quest to grasp onto the edge of the elusive platform above. However, the solution doesn’t lie in these attempts. The game indeed features a double jump mechanic that you must unlock by killing one of the main bosses. This guide explains the process ofgetting the double jump abilityand outlines effective ways to utilize it for puzzle-solving and exploring the enigmas of the map.
How to Double Jump in The Lost Crown
To execute a double jump,equip the Gravity Wings Athra Surge. ThisTime Powerbecomes available later in the game, granting you the ability to jump mid-air. With this newfound skill, Sargon gains access to previously unreachable areas.
Beyond its utility for exploration, theGravity Wings Athra Surgetransforms into a valuable combat element.It empowers you to leap over the heads of larger enemiesand bosses, positioning you behind them for a tactical advantage.
Double jumps can be combined with long wall jumps to send Sargon flying. Use this combo to access high-ground areas or dodge enemy projectiles.
The double jump feature proves especially handy in certainplatform puzzles, allowing you to reach the next platform by generating a nearby Shadow. In the case of a moving platform, for instance, you can produce a clone adjacent to it and subsequently teleport back to it when the platform is accessible.
Ascend to the highest platforms effortlessly by executing a double jump near a wall and dashing toward it. This technique induces alatching effect, enabling you to scale the tallest structures without the need to zig-zag between two walls or platforms.
