Tips:

• Collecting a spirit ember after using an extra jump will restore your extra jump if you've used it already (touching the ground will also restore your extra jump).
• Releasing Spacebar early will cause you to start falling sooner.
• The Dash-Jump timing can be a little tight. Try dashing first and then immediately jumping during the dash window, pressing both buttons almost at the same time. Additionally, holding a movement direction may reduce the distance that you travel with the Dash-Jump.
• Dashes and Shadow Dashes have separate cooldowns, so you can use both back-to-back to travel greater distances. Shadow Dashes have a slightly smaller cooldown.
• You can have up to three Shadows active at a time after unlocking Shadow Recall.
