How to not get stuck

Try to avoid going down one-way paths, for example by falling down through crumble blocks or sand. The game will ensure that there is always some path that loops back around, but there is no guarantee that you would have the items needed to follow that path. Therefore, it is usually better to explore safer options first. If you decide to risk going down a one-way, be sure to save the game first. The game has features to make it less painful in case you do get stuck, and to help you prevent getting stuck:

  • You can quickly reload your saves using the shortcut L + R + Select + Start.
  • If you save in an area you can't escape, you can load an earlier save by repeating the quick reload shortcut.
  • Hazard stripes appear on certain doors where the other side has an immediate risk of softlock or death.
  • The game logic won't expect you to go down a one-way for an item unless there is some way out without using the item (though this could be by some other path that loops around).
