Starting tips
Annoyingly when searching for materials to get this achievement I could never find a lot, since people like making video guides for this one. For those that want a written guide or are too lazy to open your browser and look one up. I'm making this one on steam.

I recommend playing through the Bonfire challenge a few times to get a lay of the land and find out a route most comfortable for you.

Recommended difficulty to play on is Normal. You can do it on expert for more of a challenge but good luck with the assassins about.

For movement you should always try to be sprinting, jumping and using blink. Blink is very important to this challenge and on normal difficulty is infinite. Do not worry about running out of mana on normal difficulty, it will automatically refill.

While falling into the void isn't punished by health loss or point deduction, it will reset you to your last beam of light that you touched.

Some of the jumps you have to jump into the beam of light directly for it to count, you will know when you get a tricky jump when the screen briefly flashes white and black and the possession sound plays.
Beams of light
There are 7 beams that are rotated through during the challenge. The first 2 beam locations are always the same and will never change during the start of the challenge. After this the beam locations will be randomized however I will continue to name the beams for this guide.

Beam 1


Beam 2


Because of the randomization this achievement is more luck based than skill based.

Beam 3 will be inside the white building with the empress Jessamine statue to your right when starting the challenge.


Beam 4 will be on the rooftops outside the side window from Beam 2


Beam 5 will be on the top of the slanted house in the back to your left when starting the challenge


Beam 6 will be on a small island to your left when starting the challenge


Beam 7 will be right behind you up the stairs when starting the challenge.

Tricky Jump 1
Luckily for this achievement the first 2 tricky jumps are always going to be the easiest since they are linked to the first 2 Beam locations.

For the first tricky jump, jump onto the island below you and to your left, get a running start, jump and blink onto the first Beam to get the first tricky jump. You will preform a ledge grab on this jump, don't worry it will still count.

Tricky Jump 2
Blink back to the starting position and check to your right. In the void there should be various floating debris moving slowly. We will be using the debris for 2 jumps. For the first jump from the rock outcrop and onto the debris. Continue upward through the building until you reach just above the second Beam. For this jump you will have to jump through the windows by the debris onto the second Beam.




After these two jumps feel free ignoring the rest of the tricky jumps if you want to grind up some more time with whatever route you want to take if you feel like you would need it.
Tricky Jump 3
For the third tricky jump we will be jumping to Beam 3 from the floating debris again. Having just jumped to Beam 7 and getting Beam 3 would be a perfect opportunity for this one. To get the tricky jump you can jump and blink through the window to land on the beam or wait for the debris to float around the wall and jump or blink off onto the beam.


One of the easier jumps, imo
Tricky Jump 4
These next two tricky jumps will focus on Beam 6, on the island to your left at the start. For the first tricky jump, run off the rock above the island and jump off onto the beam. Easy enough but the next tricky jump is frustratingly harder.

Tricky Jump 5
Preferable before this jump you would want to have quite a bit of time saved or just got Beam 4 for your last jump. Jump onto the destroyed building above and behind the Beam 6 island and prepare yourself, you will need to double jump off into the void and blink through the destroyed window on the ground next to Beam 6. It is important to not get a ledge grab as that will not count towards the tricky jump.


The window in question.


In my opinion this is the most difficult jump as it requires you to time a blink while falling.
Tricky Jump 6
The last tricky jump is not as difficult as the last though it will require luck and good timing. Preferably you would either want to have quite a bit of time saved up or just finished a jump to Beam 5 on the slanted house. You are going to be jumping to Beam 1 from a height. For this jump you are going to want to jump up onto the floating island above the whole challenge. As a side note this island has Emily's Doll up there if you are missing the doll for this challenge. Quickly run towards Empress Jessamine's statue and jump off onto the beam.



These are all of the 6 tricky jumps with the easiest way to preform them.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You did it!!!

Nice guide! Wish I had it when I was running it. Only thing I would add to it is the common event of wanting to flip a table when you get a bad beam that kills your run

Thanks! It took me so long to find out the jumps since most other guides and videos did the bare minimum to explain them, so i really tried my best to explain this.
