To obtain the Lilac Skin, you must survive 27 waves of killer blades in the secret shed of the Hidden Floor. Upon entering the Hidden Floor, you discover a secret hideout at the summit, guarded by various booby traps. Evade these traps to unveil the path to a chest containing the coveted Lilac Outfit.

  • First Wave: Navigate the initial four blade traps by either jumping or dashing through the gaps.
  • Second Wave: For the second four blades, you should create clones (Shadows) that allow you to pass through the traps.
  • Third Wave: For the remaining traps, you must use the Clairvoyance Athra Surge to spot the empty gaps and pass through them.

The following table shows the exact instructions for each stage of the platform puzzle.
