Hey everyone, LoZCardsfan2223 here and we have discovered that Cave Skip is possible in Stage 4 in DOStlevania, much like it is in NES Castlevania!
A huge special thanks to Charlie9631 for discovering that this trick was possible with the help of using the stopwatch. I looked into seeing about doing this trick without the stopwatch and yes, you CAN pull it off. The bat boost to make it onto the ceiling is very similar to what you do with the Stage 1 Bat Boost.
Charlie9631 and I have figured out how the manipulation works to make this trick work. It's really tough, but with a lot of practice, we've become more consistent at the Cave Skip.
When you're on the ceiling, the bats will still spawn and you cannot see them, so you must be ready to throw a cross or whip the bats, otherwise you will get knocked back without even seeing what hit you! If you get knocked back, forget about making that final moving platform. If you do everything correctly, you CAN make the final platform without having to stop and wait for it. All told, this trick saves about 9 seconds and brings 13:1x into the equation.
After I pulled off the Cave Skip trick, I continued the stage just for fun to see how the RNG would roll. Turns out, I got about as good of luck on Stage 4 as you will see with a perfect eagle and fleamen pattern and a fast Frankenstein fight!
Anyway, if you think you can figure out the consistent method to making the Cave Skip trick work more often than not, than I say "Good luck! You'll need it!"
