Leap without dying
Use the following trick where getting off a high location is a shortcut that will save you time and walking a long distance. Note: The trick is more difficult the higher you are. Equip a Bottlecap mine. Stand on the edge where you will jump. Throw the Bottlecap mine down towards the ground. Immediately as it leaves your hand, jump off the edge on top of the falling Bottlecap mine. The Bottlecap mine seems to fall slower than other objects, making it somewhat easier to land on. Keep landing on the Bottlecap mine as it falls to the ground. Note: This requires skill and good aim. If done correctly, when you reach the ground you will have lost minimal health. Pick up the Bottlecap mine and continue.
