Spooky Action
The Spooky Action glitch (short for Spooky Action at a Distance) allows the Fire Rod's area of effect to hit objects that are different than where the shot was visibly aimed.
Execution
This glitch can be done by setting the altitude value for an ancilla slot by the position or throwing a Somaria block into a pit then using the Fire Rod afterwards. When the Fire Rod shot hits an object the distance that the area of effect will be offset is determined by this stored altitude value.
To actually utilize this glitch setups are required to set a specific altitude value and also prevent this value from being overwritten.
Spooky Action in Misery Mire
The most useful application of Spooky Action is in Misery Mire to activate the three crystal switches in the basement. This can save a fair amount of time by not having to bomb a wall.
Setup Instructions:
- Use the Flute and go to Warp Point 6.
- Immediately after landing move Right until the player is centered beneath the warp rock. This should be done in one continuous motion without stopping so that the Duck leaves the screen at the correct position. (See the Spooky Mire Setting Altitude example)
- Proceed though the Misery Mire dungeon without using Somaria, the Lamp, or Magic Powder until reaching the first room of the dark basement with the floor switch.
- Switch to Somaria and then press A to kick up dust with the Boots and then press Y to place a Somaria Block while the dust is still active. This action prevents the altitude value from being overwritten.
