⚠️ Major Warnings & Pitfalls

1. Difficulty Spikes Are Real
- Chapter 5 (The Resort) introduces moving blocks, seekers, and dark rooms—a significant jump from earlier chapters.
- Chapter 7 (The Summit) is extremely long and demanding; expect many deaths.
- B-Side and C-Side chapters are far harder than the main story. Do not attempt them until you've completed the main story and have a solid understanding of advanced techniques (wavedash, hypers, etc.).
- The Farewell DLC chapter is the hardest content in the game, requiring mastery of all mechanics. Save it for last.

2. Death Count Is Normal
- Celeste is designed around dying repeatedly. The game tracks your deaths per chapter, but this is not a measure of skill. Do not get discouraged—each death is a lesson.
- The developer commentary and narrative embrace failure as part of the journey.

3. No Combat – All Movement
- There are no enemies to defeat; everything is solved through jumping, dashing, and climbing. Tweaking your approach is the only way forward.
