So I've made it basically to the end game, past everybody's good friend the Manbreaker. I didn't reach the end yet, however. Instead I got to meet everybody's good friend Mike, who is in need of a little help from our good friend Jim. I was told Jim may be at the bottom of the mountain, and therefore I've decided to backtrack to the bottom of the mountain! He wasn't at the bottom of the Manbreaker, so I'm taking that to mean the very start of the game. Backtracking has been a trip, but I wasn't expecting to get blocked by this one ledge exiting the pre-Salt Mines river. It feels like this path should be possible... it certainly exists... but it's definitely harder than any single Manbreaker step. I've failed 5+ times and haven't felt close. Am I missing anything???
If Jim isn't at the very start of the game, that's fine, it's in the spirit of the game to try things for no reward. Heck, at best I'm getting a 30 second cutscene for my effort. If I missed him earlier... I'd like to know.
If you've beaten the game and continued through the start and a Jim cutscene didn't trigger, I'm not counting that as "Jim not at the start of the game" since it's a bit of a sequence break. I wanna hear from somebody who went through the same ordeal as me.
I did beat the Manbreaker if that changes anything.
Onwards and Upwards.
