Battle skip at Waterfalls of Agharta and a way to do 'Multiple Launches' with the 'Assisted long-jump'

Points of Interest:
1. Start of the Vid - Skipping the battle with the big nosed monster. The one that you normally use to break a rock that's in you way. Done with an Assisted Long-Jump.

2. The second clip in the vid shows another example of the Assisted Long-Jump, but is wasted potential. Cos you still need to mount the beast to climb up some vines. This whole level can be pretty much skipped on a revisit (maxed out), but I'm gonna go through & see what can & can't be skipped on a first playthough, so a NG speedrun.

3. At the end of the vid I show what happens if Gabriel hits death collision during an Assisted Long-Jump:
(a) Instead of Gabriel getting restarted back ON the cliff (like normal), the game actually restarts Gabriel at the very moment he got flung far away.

He will then keep getting launched over & over & over etc, as long as you keep hitting the death collision at the end of each launch.

During each re-launch, you can control the direction that each launch takes you. So you can use it to get to out-of-bounds areas (or in-bound areas).

The Multiple launch ends once Gabrial either dies, or lands on walkable collision.

Note: I'm now pretty sure that the assisted long jump glitch happens, because an enemy swings at the moment you jumped off the ground into a 'death-collision' chasm. Which is pretty easy to do once you learn the body language of the enemy.
