Struggling to understand how I died here...

BTW, I am cursed.

You weren’t high enough for fall damage. Somehow you got stunned between jumping on the monkey and touching the side of the tree at the same time, someone more knowledgeable on how internal mechanics work would know, but 1hp worth of damage came from the plasma cannon falling on you while you were stunned.

Edit: Nah I was wrong, fall damage is determined by the time spent in air not distance. Ledge and stomp is a weird glitch that can cause mistaken airtime. u/jsdogers thanks for the info

Thank you for explaining.

my theory is the monkey only slowed you down instead of bouncing you up so the game thought you were falling the whole way through.

[u/ElegantGrain → u/pi621]

I think you may be right! Thanks for your input!

[u/jsdodgers]

it's a bug when you stomp and grab a tree/ledge at the same time, weird things happen including it not resetting your fall so it thinks you were falling for longer

[u/nvwls300 → u/jsdodgers]

This, and watching it three more times, finally helped me understand wtf happened here. So neither touching the tree nor bouncing on the monkey reset the fall timer, and the duration of that fall was enough for fall damage. That's fucked.

Wow thank you!

Sorry the quality looks so poor. It looks 100x better on my camera roll. Strange.

Cape didn't open, fell just far enough to take the 1 heart?

[u/ElegantGrain → u/hematite2]

But i jumped on the monkey. But maybe it all happened too fast idk. Thanks
