Good job! That part is listed under Known Bugs - it’s a glitchy custom script interaction that I was never able to fix. There’s one more part like that later in the game. When you get there, know that each flame’s hitbox is a vertical line down the screen - you can just dodge horizontally and be fine. :P
Okay, now though I'm stuck on the first part of the spire, where I can't figure out where to go. In front there's a locked door that needs a key, to the right there's nothing, and to the left there's a puzzle where you walk over squares to change their color, and I tried matching it to the mini version in the room above (1 blue and 2 green), and even rotating and mirroring the pattern every which way, but nothing happens.
Wow, you've made a lot of progress! The Hateful Reliquary chase is one of the hardest parts of the game. If you're still having trouble with it, an important tip to know is that moving diagonally downwards is actually slower than moving straight downwards. So the more you weave around the crystals, the quicker the Reliquary will gain on you. Try "changing lanes" as few times as possible!
Edit: I just saw your edit after sending my reply. Great job!! :D
