What each player can do here

P1 · Climber 1
  • Every player is chained to the others; the chain is fully simulated and wraps around platforms.
P2 · Climber 2
  • Solo or in a group of up to four; in a group, every climber is chained to the rest.

If your skill levels differ: Uneven group: start in Beginner Mode, which has checkpoints.Our suggestionLet the steadier climber set the pace and call each jump, since the chain is fully simulated and every move pulls on the others. How to split the roles

Temple and Shrine (2,100–2,700 m)

Part 1 of 2. Climb through the temple and the shrine.

  1. BothThe Temple runs from 2,100 to 2,400 m and the Shrine from 2,400 to 2,700 m.
  2. BothWings of Freedom 7 (about 2,166 m): after the gap with the spinning platform, look right; they sit on a stone platform.
  3. BothWings of Freedom 8 (about 2,523 m): around the large pagoda, at the back on the right.

Where people tend to fall

  • Temple: the hardest part has a giant bubble and platforms that vanish as it passes; an elevator at the end takes you up.
  • Shrine: single wooden pegs can hold a group up for a long time; there are rotating jump pads and a laser puzzle before the exit.

Deities and Garden (2,700–3,600 m)

Part 2 of 2. Reach the top.

  1. BothThe Deities run from 2,700 to 3,200 m and the Garden from 3,200 m to the top at 3,600 m.
  2. BothThe third Beginner checkpoint (2,757 m) is in the middle of the path as you head into the Deities.
  3. BothWings of Freedom 9 (about 3,130 m): after crossing the bridge, the wings sit on the bouncing drums; time the bounce.
  4. BothWings of Freedom 10 (about 3,313 m): in the Garden, just across the small stretch of water.

Where people tend to fall

  • Deities: watch the platforms that shrink fast, which cause chaos in a group; the zone ends with a ride on the statue's thunderbolt.
  • Garden finale: a collapsing conveyor with walls to break through, then a horse-drawn cart on a road that crumbles behind you.

Extras and notes

  • With all ten Wings of Freedom, you can switch on wings from the main menu; they let you glide, but runs with wings are kept off the main leaderboard.
  • Climb Faster: reach the summit in under 1 hour 50 minutes; Moon's guide calls solo Beginner the easiest way to do it.
  • Game Rant puts the top at 3,654 m; TheGamer, Dot Esports and the Steam table say 3,600 m.
  • Height milestones from the achievement list: Temple 2,106 m, Asian Shrine 2,414 m, Deities 2,757 m, Garden 3,282 m.
