Navigating the treacherous landscapes of this open-world RPG requires more than just high damage output; it requires agility. In the current 2026 meta, securing specific pilgrammed upgrades is the difference between effortlessly scaling mountains and falling to your doom in the Cloud City. These movement enhancements are not merely cosmetic; they fundamentally alter your character's physics, allowing for faster traversal and more complex combat maneuvers.
By focusing on the right pilgrammed upgrades, players can unlock hidden areas and bypass difficult platforming sections that would otherwise require specific items like the Noxious Motor. This guide will walk you through the essential steps to obtain the newest movement skills, including the Climbing Claws, Dash Master, and the elusive Jump Master tech. Whether you are a fresh spawn or a seasoned veteran looking to optimize your build, understanding these mechanics is vital for progression in the Prejunks update and beyond.
Mastering Pilgrammed Upgrades for Movement
The Prejunks update introduced a suite of movement skills that transition traditional item-based abilities into permanent character upgrades. This shift allows players to free up valuable accessory slots while maintaining high mobility. The three primary pillars of movement in 2026 are the Climb Master, Dash Master, and Jump Master skills.
To begin your journey, you should ensure you have basic survival gear and, ideally, the Noxious Motor. While some of these upgrades can be obtained through clever platforming, the Noxious Motor acts as a safety net for the more vertical challenges found in the Mountain and Cloud City biomes.
| Upgrade Name | Primary Benefit | Requirement | NPC Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Climb Master | Permanent wall climbing | Interaction | Duke of Rocks |
| Dash Master | Triple dash capability | Dialogue | Garth |
| Jump Master | Enhanced verticality/Scurry | Quest Items | Adagio |
Unlocking the Climbing Claws in the Mountain
The first major milestone in your quest for pilgrammed upgrades is the Climbing Claws skill, also known as Climb Master. This skill is located in the Mountain biome, a region known for its steep cliffs and the formidable Ice King.
To find the source of this power, navigate to the cabin area in the Mountain region. From the cabin, head to the right, keeping an eye out for the Ice King’s arena. It is highly recommended to defeat the Ice King if he is active, as his reworked Soul Fragment is a valuable asset for any build in 2026. Once past the arena, look for an NPC known as the Duke of Rocks.
Interacting with the Duke of Rocks is straightforward. Unlike other NPCs who demand rare materials, the Duke simply requires you to reach him. Upon speaking with him, he will grant you the Climbing Claws skill. This allows you to stick to and scale vertical surfaces up to three times, mirroring the functionality of the Climbing Claws item but as a permanent movement upgrade.
Warning: The terrain around the Duke of Rocks is slippery. Ensure you have your movement keys ready, as a single misstep can send you back to the base of the mountain.
Dash Master: Enhancing Combat Agility
Once you have mastered the verticality of the mountains, your next stop should be the Elite Brax area to speak with Garth. Garth is the gatekeeper for the Dash Master upgrade, which is essential for dodging high-speed boss telegraphs.
While the specific level requirements for Garth can vary based on your current progression, most players who have reached the Elite Brax region will be able to trigger the dialogue. Simply speaking to Garth will unlock the Dash Master skill. This upgrade allows for a more fluid, responsive dash that can be chained more effectively with other movement tech. In the 2026 combat landscape, having the Dash Master skill active is almost mandatory for surviving late-game encounters where positioning is everything.
The Jump Master Quest in Cloud City
The most intensive of the pilgrammed upgrades is the Jump Master skill, often referred to as the "Scurry Boots tech." This upgrade is managed by Adagio, an NPC located near the slingshot transport system in Cloud City. Unlike the previous upgrades, Adagio requires a set of specific materials to craft this enhancement for you.
Required Materials for Adagio
To complete Adagio's request, you will need to gather items that represent the height and elasticity of the Cloud City biome.
| Item | Quantity | Primary Source |
|---|---|---|
| World Rubber | 20 | General Loot/Cloud City Drops |
| Cloud Boots | 1 | Exploration/Vendor |
| Great Red Bird Feather | 1 | The Big Red Bird NPC |
The World Rubber is a common drop within the zone, and most players will find they have enough simply by exploring and defeating standard enemies. The real challenge lies in obtaining the Great Red Bird Feather, which requires a journey to the highest peaks of the map.
Hunting the Great Red Bird Feather
Obtaining the Great Red Bird Feather is a test of your platforming skills and your ability to use the environment to your advantage. From Adagio’s location, you must navigate toward the isolated high-altitude islands.
- Equip the Glider: You cannot complete this section without a glider. The mechanic involves "White Orbs" that only propel you upward if your glider is actively deployed.
- Locate the White Orbs: These glowing orbs act as jump pads. Glide into them to receive a significant vertical boost.
- Avoid the Tendrilings: These enemies are extremely aggressive and can knock you out of the air. Using a Sport Shawl can mitigate some of the frustration caused by these flying pests.
- Reach the Summit: After hitting a sequence of three or four white orbs, you will reach a small, secluded island where the Big Red Bird resides.
- Pluck the Feather: Approach the bird and interact with it to "pluck" the feather. You do not need to engage in a boss fight here, though the bird is quite large and intimidating.
Tip: If you find the white orb platforming too difficult, use the Noxious Motor to bypass the lower sections. However, the final stretch almost always requires the glider/orb combo to reach the necessary height.
Recommended Gear for Upgrade Hunting
While searching for these pilgrammed upgrades, your loadout can significantly impact your success rate. Since much of this journey involves traversal and dodging rather than raw tanking, a high-mobility "cheese" build is often preferred.
Many players in 2026 utilize the Heavy Rusty Bow combined with Sandy Boots. This setup allows for decent damage from a distance while maintaining enough speed to outrun the Tendrilings in Cloud City. If you find yourself taking too much damage during the climb, consider swapping to a build with higher defensive stats, though you should always prioritize items that increase your jump height or reduce stamina consumption.

Summary of Movement Tech Synergies
Once you have collected the Climb Master, Dash Master, and Jump Master skills, you will notice a significant shift in gameplay. You can now perform a triple-climb into a mid-air dash, followed by a "scurry" jump that covers massive horizontal distances. These pilgrammed upgrades are designed to work in tandem, turning your character into a high-mobility force capable of tackling any terrain in the game.
| Tech Combo | Input Sequence | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Vertical Scale | Climb x3 -> Jump | Escaping melee bosses |
| Long Distance | Dash -> Glide -> Scurry | Crossing Cloud City gaps |
| Evasive Maneuver | Triple Dash -> Climb | Avoiding projectile spam |
FAQ
Q: Where can I check if I have successfully unlocked the pilgrammed upgrades?
A: You can check your current movement skills in your character's skill or stat menu. Look for the labels Climb Master, Dash Master, and Jump Master. If they are highlighted or listed, the permanent upgrade is active.
Q: Do I lose these upgrades if I reset my character or change my build?
A: No, these movement upgrades are permanent character unlocks. Once you have spoken to the Duke of Rocks, Garth, or completed Adagio's quest, the skills remain tied to your character regardless of your current equipment or stat resets.
Q: Is the Noxious Motor absolutely required for the Cloud City section?
A: While not strictly mandatory, the Noxious Motor makes the process significantly easier. Without it, you must be extremely precise with your glider and the white orbs. Most players find that having the motor saves a considerable amount of time when falling from the high islands.
Q: Can I get the Great Red Bird Feather more than once?
A: Generally, you only need the feather once to satisfy Adagio's quest requirements for the pilgrammed upgrades. However, the bird usually respawns its interaction if you need to help a friend or if a future quest requires the same material.
