The ancient pit (Hollow Knight)

tell me how to get out of this Loki, you do not have double Jampa and flight of Superman. Came from Royal stock, force jump over the walls with spikes gone, here I sit on the bench. Tried to jump on the spikes around it, just jump to the platform with geo on without double Jampa in any way.

You can get out of the ancient pit along the elevator shaft, although I didn’t believe it anymore and almost deleted the game :) I’ll have to practice, but the claws and jerk are enough to jump over all the spikes.

Actually, there is only one problematic place - where the spikes are just beginning. In English-language forums, people recommend hitting down after the first rebound from the wall in order to bounce off the spikes and fly to the other wall, but this trick never worked out for me. They say it's easier to get out this way, because the hitbox of the sword is larger than the character, but I always flew into the passage between the spikes.

It turned out that you can just push off the right wall below the spikes and grab the same wall above the spikes - the full length of the jump is more than enough. The main difficulty is to jump far enough and not fly into the spikes. Well, after you find yourself above this wall, the remaining way up will not cause any special problems. The main thing is to be able to run to the bench and not die :)

One kind person from the Steam forum recorded a video of the passage of this moment: I was not as pumped as he was, but after several lost lives I managed to jump up. I didn't have to delete the game :)

But I can't help but note that this place is a great example of bad game design. You walk like this in a relaxed manner, no special accuracy is required, and suddenly BAM! You get to a place that requires you to show your maximum skill. There is also no bench nearby, on the way to this place you need to very carefully pass by the flyers, trying to save masks and soul for jumping through the mine. I don't think it's right to bully people like that.
