This is the tomb after the Cathedral of the Forsaken; the Three Fingers are way below.

You can skip to the bottom by using a critical attack on one of the mournful nomads, who play string instruments. Stance break them with, for example, a small shield, walk in front of them near the edge, and then crit them with your empty hand. During your critical attacks, you are entirely immune to damage, even fall damage. Also, the fall looks pretty cool; you just have to sacrifice one of the last survivors of the nomads at the site of their genocide…

Is this really ds3? Seems like er.

Having jank ass platforming is kinda required for any true souls like these days. If you don’t have the terrible unnecessary platforming, what are you even doing?

My favorite is DS3, where you can just feel Miyazaki laughing as you figure out the jump button is pushing in the left stick. And it only works when running and even then it only works sometimes. Truly an inspired move by Miyazaki-san.

Elden Ring is a good second tho, because there is so much more of it. I especially like how you can perform the same action 5 times and get wildly different jump distances each time. And don’t forget the dozen or so places where they mark the place to jump with a corpse or some kind of detail on a beam. Only for them to place the indicator in completely the wrong place a few jumps later, love it!

Madness Ahead

When you ask Miyazaki to remove a poison swamp, he keeps it and adds a platforming section.
