I’m kinda stuck in the game because everything I wanna do requires double jump or it will be easier with it, wich means I gotta go through mt. fay but it is so annoying!!!!!!!
so I’m here asking for help please, specifically with the part there is frozen water below and the only way is throwing the needle on the flying things
Try using ascendant's grip and weavelight, it makes mount fay way easier. Flintslate also stops you from freezing for a few seconds
Correct, just remember that flintslate will only stop the timer, not reset it
HE SAID HE WOULDN'T MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN
just realized I don’t have weavelight🤡 and how did flintslate help you?
flintslate delays the freeze effect
only throwing it right? or just having it in my hands
I'm pretty sure you have to use it
Use weavelight, flintslate and Ascendenrs Grip, once you clawline DO NOT PRESS JUMP, Hornet actually goes up herself, if you press jump, you cancel this height boost. Most importantly do 1 section and take a break, it actually helps a lot
Huge huge advice about the delaying your jump after the claw line height boost. Took me forever to realize that was a thing.
Yeah, my spastic flailing cost me some of those crossings many times before I finally realized "less is more". Had to let one action finish and only jump at the apex of my height gain, not instantly smack the key when I reached whatever I was clawlined into.
Funny thing is, I reflected on that midway to realize the same approach was true of a lot of bosses. Taking things too fast got you dead, quick, but when you were fighting effectively, the inputs were actually often a lot slower. You had to learn that patience and to use an action at the right time by itself, not throwing everything and the kitchen sink at them.
Well, except spamming the Sawtooth Circlet and your main attack. That's still OP and fun as hell.
just saw I don’t have weavelight🤡and how does flintslate helps? I’m already using the grip, but totally forgot to use it for running
weavelight is in weavenest Alpha. where Eva ist to be found. but instead going to Eva, you go left to the bench on the water and jump into the water and out of screen. then stay in the upper way and go further to the left till you get into a room, where you get a surprise fight.
just got it!! I had gone there already but ended up not killing them, I will try mt fay again with all the tips I got
i wish you luck 🍀 stay calm
I did it!!!!
Omg i don't can read anymore 😄 congrats! 😀
It took me a long time to figure that out on my first playthrough. Ironically it was my anxiety of missing the distance that caused me to not let her do her thing. Once it clicked it was night and day.
One thing that isn't easy to find, you can pogo off of the balls of ice that are in the water. I've seen a lot of people die because they didn't know that so I hope this helps.
I discovered it, but in this specific area there is no place to hold after pogo so it doesn’t make much of a difference
Take breaks from time to time if you're struggling a lot. The flint helps slow down the freezing, but IDK if it helps with the water. I found the middle part (The one I assume you're doing, considering what you wrote down) the hardest of the climb, so I'd say you'll have an easier time once you finish it
Flintslate deactivates when in water, cold or not.

I thought that OP had to break statue for shards for flintslate, but no, they didn't even know about it.
it was just to bring attention to the post haahhahah doesn’t mean anything
There is a hidden bench behind a breakable wall on the halfway point thats seriously a huge lifesaver. Shows up roughly when you leave a long corridor going Left > Right and then upwards when a small section of the floor caves in as a shortcut below.
(To be more specific, in the vertical half of the map thats “open air”)

oooh didn’t know about, huge lifesaver
It was the ONE thing between my constant failures and finally finishing that climb! Because by the time I went past that bench and into the next lantern I think my whole HP was already a popsicle.
I did it!!!!! thanks a lot
I did it by pulling up a YouTube video and pausing as I went. Showed me the way and what to do, because fuck My Fey.
already watched one to see where I should go, but I wasn’t getting the timing
Drifters cloak is broken. You get such a long window to line up every shot its jnsane
sorry I don’t get it
With drifters cloak you can stall in the air. With this your jumo can last longer, you can reach further places and have more time in the air to think through your movement. First time I was on MT. FAY this realization helped me get through it after strugling at the exact same place you were on
oh I see, thanks!! I did it finally
Have you visited Mt. Sands of Karak yet?
no why?
Just remember the name when you arrive at it
I got there, but went back because there was no bench nearby and I wasn’t prepared for it
Just git gud i guess
Man if I ever run into some money I'm gonna have so many figures of people starting with smol Hornet and Ghost/Vessel/Knight/Whoever-the-fuck
Once I realized you should not press jump after the clawline, because it jumps automatically, I made it. Wasted so much time trying to jump which messes the clawline animation...
a few people told me this, it’s almost a double jump then
Using Flintslate resets your cold damage timer!
It actually doesn't. It gives you 3 extra seconds.
Close enough
The timer is 15. It's a little bonus for comfort. That generally means its only worth using when you are close.
But the timed sections aren't that bad since you can't stay still for most platforming regardless. I think there was 2 sections the time pressure mattered beyond just adding a feeling of being rushed.
But it makes hornet LOOK warmer, which makes me calmer and better at platforming.
The timer is a little tight until you've got the path memorized and muscle memory developed. It's more of a nuisance since it makes you scurry back to the last warm spot every time you flub a jump.
Hey I get that. If it takes the feeling of pressure off, that has a big benefit.
You are right- it was just more annoying. I did it with only one silk heart and no light, but still only took damage in the first area save one other time.
throwing it? anywhere?
It's the fire-needle buff red item, do you don'tactually throw it. Once you apply the buff you get several seconds back on your timer. Not a full reset, as I've been informed.
Jus t take your time. If you start messing up, just go back to the previous lamp.
Also, don’t directly clawline a light, it will break
Also a small tip: hold UP button when grappling and jump at the target. Some of that helps hornet go up for sure.
Also remember that sometimes it is better to just graple+drift cloak over a large distance.
are u talking about hold up so hornet runs on the wall instead of jumping upwards?
No, if you harpoon on enemy without holding UP she won't do a salto over the enemy
it's just platforming. my best advice would be to slow your mind down and get used to using the clawline. My first climb I kept misinputing the clawline bc it was a new ability with a button that hadn't been used all game. Also get ascendant's grip from the shop in Songclave, it's not necessary but it does make it easier. Other than that just stay calm, the area is actually pretty generous with the heat lamps so don't worry if you take one or two bits of frost damage just stay calm. Also flintslate extends the window if you really need it.
Also there's a hidden bench behind a breakable wall about halfway through. The wall will be to the left as soon as you enter an outside room from below. But ya just go with the flow and avoid unnecessary inputs, it'll be over before you know it.
I will look for this bench, already got the grip and will try with tue flintslate, I’m hopeful after all the tips people are saying
I just beat it yesterday. I used the mask you buy from the ant in Hunters March and the wall cling tool. The mask helps because if youre down to 1 health, due to the freeze, the mask seemed to not male you freeze and die...HOWEVER if you get hit, the mask shatters and then the freeze starts again and you'll most likely die.
I just kept practicing the hook grip (the thing that flies your needle forward) and stopped jumping right after I hit the enemies...for some reason, that messed with the next hook grip for the next enemy. Afterwards its so much worth it and you feel so accomplished!
I had to change the tool I used to hold onto the wall because I couldn't get used to it.
mt. fay I LOVE YOU
are you okay?
I LOVE MOUNT FAY
I don't know, i found mt fay pretty fun, especially the part there is frozen water below and the only way is throwing the needle on the flying things.
you should see a doctor
I just got a mod that removes the cold effect because I suck at the game I recommend doing that
I mean just edit in the item at that point.
I gave up after 3 days
I gotta GIT GUD
I'm not good myself lol. I did collect some items first. I could understand using the mod to practice.
