Stage Cluster

Stage 1: Cell Block Entry

Build clean movement habits and lock your first stable checkpoint route.

Updated: July 17, 2026

Main Goal

Clear opening platforms without panic jumps. Keep camera centered and avoid early sprint spam while learning spacing.

Top Mistakes

The most common failures are over-rotating mid-air and jumping from platform edges with low takeoff angle.

A second pattern is sprinting immediately after spawn, which creates inconsistent launch distance before players build visual timing.

Fix Pattern

Use one rhythm: step, align, jump. Repeat that cadence until you can clear this section three times in a row without resets.

If you miss twice in a row, downgrade to walk-speed entry for two attempts, then restore normal pace once landing confidence returns.

2-Minute Micro Drill

Run only the first three jumps for five loops. Count successful centered landings. Aim for 80% success before returning to full route progression.

Advance Rule

Move to Stage 2 only after one clean run with no random camera snaps in Stage 1. This prevents early bad habits from snowballing in trap lanes.
