-Colford Cauldron is one of these levels where the ground forms up more slowly than usual, so be careful, although there are some places where you can move at full speed.
-The gate at the start opens quite quickly, but you can still get through it faster by clipping through. This is one of the hardest clips in the game, the position for it is between the stones of the gate and the small rocks to its left(slightly closer to the . If your position is good, roll down and right. Right after you clip there is a bit of fake ground on the bottom, because the game literally hates you. Try to avoid falling there.

+The gate at the start opens quite quickly, but you can still get through it faster by clipping through. This is one of the hardest clips in the game. Position yourself between the stones of the gate and the small rocks to its left, and just keep rolling down and right. You will be able to tell whether your position is correct if the Kid looks like he is jammed between the two as opposed to moving along either. There is a patch of fake ground immediately ahead of where you will end up after you clip through. Adjust your roll up as you clip to avoid it.
-Ignore the Flame Bellows, it's also a trap. It's actually the worst weapon in the game.
+Ignore the Fire Bellows - it's a trap. It's actually the worst weapon in the game.
-At some point in the level, the way will be blocked by some wilted weeds. In NG, use the Pike to clean them out, in NG+ you can also shoot the Scrap Musket. If you use the pike, try to hit as little objects as possible to avoid getting freeze frames.

-:'''NG+''' - Attempt the [[Bastion/Pike Vaults#Colford Cauldron|CC Skip]], fail it, cry.
+After you take the shard, roll back to where the new path will form. This area forms so slowly that you cannot roll at all without falling until you see the corner of the platform at the top of the stairs. Don't roll into the Skybridge before using it as you would in other levels, as this can get you stuck on the weeds.
-When coming back after taking the Shard, don't roll into the Skyway before using it as you would in other levels, as this can make you get stuck.
+:* '''All Weapons''' - Pick up the Fire Bellows now. We're so sorry.
-If you clipped through the gate at the start, it will still be closed. Do the same clip again, it's much easier from this side. Complete the Cauldron by taking the Skyway in the same place where you entered the level.
+The placement of the weeds on the way back after the Skybridge can make it very easy to fall. You can roll past the first patch (next to the skeleton) by angling your roll parallel to the ground the weeds are sitting on. You must destroy the second patch to get through. The most optimal way to do this is to only destroy the bottom-most one and rolling past the rest.
-:Take care while cleaning out the debris at the end of the level. With the pike, you will often accidentally hit another enemy, be ready to have to use the pike again. If you're on NG+ you should instead use the Musket. In NG ASL, throw a grenade towards this debris before doing the return gate clip.
+:* '''All Weapons''' - Neither the Bellows nor the Calamity Cannon has the precision to destroy only one weed, so don't worry about that. Just destroy them enough to get through quickly.
-:'''NG+''' - since you have the Cham-pain equipped, take ''extra'' care. Behind the gate a lot of enemies, mainly Stinkeyes, are spawned, and you are likely to take a lot of damage.
+If you clipped through the gate at the start, it will still be closed. Do the same clip again - it's much easier from this side.
