Hollows is the third subchapter of Chapter 6: Reflection in Celeste. The subchapter introduces bumpers, and the middle section of the subchapter will have multiple split path sections allowing the player to pick one of two rooms to advance forward. The Crystal Heart of Chapter 6 and the Cassette to unlock Chapter 6's B-Side can both be obtained in this subchapter. There are no story moments found in this subchapter, but in a dead-end room to the right of the first room of the subchapter, Madeline will vent her frustration about being brought down by Badeline.
Gameplay[]
Starting the subchapter in a large room, the player must get up the right wall by getting a feather to the left of the starting area by breaking a semi-smashable wall with the angry platform. Take the feather up-right and continue right for a few more rooms. Eventually a room with two exits on the right is encountered, leading to different rooms which each lead back into the same exit room. This will happen six times in a row in the subchapter. In general, the upper path for all six splits will be easier than the lower one.
The Crystal Heart of this chapter will be reached by going to the top-left of the first room of the subchapter. At the end of this room before exiting from the top-right, a feather can be seen inside the floor behind a smashable wall. Take this feather even further up to reach an upper area, and then take another feather to the left. A shrine room at the far left can be seen with some colored gems and symbols in the background which you can get closer to by breaking the smashable wall. This section will be a reference to Chapter 1's Crystal Heart and utilizes that same pattern with the bird telegraph. The background symbols represent you needing to do this pattern normally, flipped horizontally, flipped vertically, and flipped both horizontally and vertically.
The dash input patterns you must do to summon the Crystal Heart are as follows:
Up, left, down-right, up-right, left, and up-left
Up, right, down-left, up-left, right, and up-right
Down, left, up-right, down-right, left, and down-left
Down, right, up-left, down-left, right, and down-right
The Cassette room is located to the left of the first room of the subchapter, requiring you to break the semi-smashable wall with the angry platform to gain access.
