Tips
- The recall power can be used to rewind Speed Kills if you mess up.
- The Dark Prince's wall-running ability is extended by chain-swinging from torches.
- The Dark Prince's Speed Kill is initiated with the Y button and requires repeated presses of Y.
- Speed Kills from chains with the Dark Prince only require initiating the kill.
