+-It is somehow possible to move earlier than normal when entering the castle. While going into the castle dash (sprint) once to get near the entrance and dash again right before you enter. If you timed the dash right, you will hear the second dash but you will not see the normal dust cloud animation. After you get into the castle you will be able to move after a short pause. The details of the glitch are still unclear: you might have to speak to Charon after dashing or jump and then dash the first time.
 - You can also talk to the reaper while dashing and it won't stop the dash.

 ===Reentering the Courtyard from the Castle===
-You can enter and quickly exit the castle from the courtyard using quantum translocator. Place a shadow somewhere in the courtyard. Next you will want to get to the edge of the courtyard- half of your hero's face should look like it is the castle. If you have replacement technique, use the spell until you can't move any closer to the castle. If you don't have replacement technique, place your foot on the chain between the castle and the bridge, just enough so that is covered. Sprint once towards the castle and you should be half in the courtyard. Next go forward slightly, and then immediately use quantum translocator. If done properly you will see the normal loading screen, but instead of being inside the castle you will be back in the courtyard.

 The Traitor is very easy to fight in ghost form. You can deal damage to him while staying on the ground. His daggers can still hit you but most of his attacks are easy to dodge. Unfortunately The Fountain seems like it can't be damaged in ghost form. You will need to use quantum translocator to go back to normal when you fight The Fountain.

 Exiting the game or going back to the main menu will fix the Ghost Form glitch including all changes to the castle. Note: these glitches only happen when you perform ghost form in the courtyard, but not inside the castle.
-'''Using Ghost Form'''
+'''Using Ghost Form:''' Ghost form makes your hero invisible and very tiny when on the ground. One advantage to using the ghost form is that while standing or walking on the ground, most ground based enemies can't harm you. You can walk right through them without taking damage. Projectiles will not harm you unless they are a direct hit, but since the glitch makes you very small it is easy to dodge attacks (some even look like they should hit you, like the corrupt knight's projectile, but they can't hit you if you are standing on the ground). While walking on the ground you can attack some enemies and objects easily, but some are difficult if not impossible to hit. While standing on the ground, you can not pick up gold, potions or food.

 While walking on the ground, you can clip through many walls easily. If you aren't careful, it is possible to walk through a wall and fall out of the castle in ghost form. If you fall out of the castle, you must either use quantum translocator to get back into the castle, or you will have to just quit to the main menu and start at the entrance again. Sometimes you may also get stuck between rooms. When this happens, the screen will rapidly switch between rooms. Use dash a few times and you should get unstuck.
-When your hero is in midair (or standing on an object, I think), your hero kind of returns to normal size. You will not see any changes, and your hero will still appear to be invisible. But when you are attacked, you will have the same hitbox that you normally have- so enemies will hit you like normal. At the same time your attack will become normal, so you can hit most enemies while midair . You can also pick up gold, potions and food by jumping on them. But in some ways your hero will still be very small, for example you can still go through holes meant for characters with dwarfism if you jump into them.

-In ghost form your hero appears invisible, but there are ways to tell the location of your hero. If you have a knave or assassin, you will see a trail of smoke following your hero around as usual. If you have the ambivileous trait, you will see question marks floating above your hero's head on occasion. You can use Quantum translocator once to see where your hero is standing- it will not leave a shadow however. You can also pause the game, and you will see your hero's name appear under their current location.

 While in ghost form it is nearly impossible to open chests or use a teleporter, and it is very difficult to go through boss doors. If you want to use any of these things you will have to go back to normal- which you can do by either teleporting with quantum translocator, or quitting the game. Still, the glitch has its uses for getting certain chests and fighting bosses, which will be explained below:
