 :If you release a Bash one frame, then re-press the Bash button/key the next frame, Ori will be able to Bash twice off of the same target. When you perform this technique, the first Bash will determine the direction the target goes ('''opposite''' of the direction you aim it), and the second Bash will determine the direction Ori goes. Using this technique, you can move the target in a desired direction while following it closely.
 :'''Important note:''' Bash has a 20 frame "windup" delay during which it cannot be released. If you release and re-press the Bash button/key during the windup delay, the Bash will simply not release. Make sure you wait for 20 frames (1/3 of a second) before trying to double Bash.

 ;Flip Jumps
 :If you jump repeatedly, every third jump Ori will perform a front flip. There is no known difference in height achievable through this flip jump.

 ;Respawn Invulnerability
 :For a short period of time after respawning at a save point, Ori will be invulnerable to all sources of damage except instant kill surfaces. This can be used to run or climb for a period of time on a damaging surface like spikes, extending the effective value of your health pool.

 ;Save Drops
 :By saving the game while in the air and reloading the file, Ori will (in most cases) drop to the closest solid ground directly below the save. This can be accomplished with save anywhere or saving while running off the edge of a platform. Tricks that use this include drainless and the lava drop in Horu.

 :Spirit Flame attacks have a minimum delay of 0.2 seconds (12 frames). The basic Spirit Flame can fire two shots at this speed, then it incurs a 0.5 second cooldown (30 frames). However, if you wait at least 0.3 seconds (18 frames) between shots, the cooldown will not be triggered. Thus, optimal damage is inflicted by timing your shots 0.3 seconds apart, unless you are only firing two shots.
 :The Quick Flame ability permits you to fire three shots at maximum speed before incurring the 0.5 second cooldown. Thus, if you fire two shots 0.2 seconds apart and then wait 0.3 seconds to fire again, you can avoid the cooldown. The Rapid Flame ability eliminates the 0.5 second cooldown entirely, so you may always fire at maximum speed.
 ;Extended Charge Jumps
 :By performing a save anywhere during a upwards-angled charge jump off of a wall, upon reloading the file, Ori will have extreme speed in the direction of the charge jump. Unlike a bash glide, this speed will decay over time to zero. Currently, this has no known use in a speedrun, as the setup time is too great.

 ;Cutscene Skips
-:By saving the game after a cutscene begins, either by using save anywhere or rekindling a pre-placed save, then exiting and reloading the file, you can gain control of Ori during the cutscene. Most cutscenes trigger their effects as soon as they begin, with the exception of opening the Mount Horu door and a few of the Gumo chase sequence cutscenes.

	:As it turns out, you don't need to perform a double Bash in order to accomplish having Ori and the projectile both go in the same direction. The game determines which direction to send the projectile one frame before it determines which direction to send Ori. During this extra frame, you can re-aim Bash to achieve the same effect as a double Bash. This saves less than a second per successful attempt compared to a double Bash, so it's not really recommended for anyone.		:As it turns out, you don't need to perform a double Bash in order to accomplish having Ori and the projectile both go in the same direction.
