Shortcuts Guide

All the levels in Sifu feature a shortcut (two at the museum) and providing you have found the 'key' can use them to gain access to brand-new areas or skip a huge portion of a stage. This makes finding the shortcuts important as being sent back to the very beginning when you die can be demoralizing, especially if you were about to defeat a boss or restart your Death Counter. This Shortcuts Guide will tell you how to unlock each of them.
