Lever Skip

Hitting a lever you normally cannot reach is called Lever Skip. Many Lever Skips only work in older patches. Some require Longnail, Mark of Pride, or Nail Arts.

Watcher's Spire
The Lever Skip in Watcher's Spire skips a Great Husk Sentry fight in the same room. It is very useful in Any% NMG and True Ending NMG.

Shade Soul
Using Dash Slash, it is possible to aquire Shade Soul without killing the Soul Warrior or buying the Elegant Key: Jump on the top-most platform in the Elegant door room and use the Nail Art on the left wall. This skip is for example used in a beginner variation of Any% NMG 1.2.2.1.
