Rescue Mission D Challenge!

I found an alternate solution in WA: PotZ's level Rescue Mission D that I haven't seen anyone else try!
The alternate solution assumes that the walls above the purple keycard are blocked off and can't use any magic past it. Also, you can't collect the coin in the water using this solution, so you can forget about that.

The challenge does not involve Brr glitches like ice turning or using magic while sliding, so try to see if you can figure it out without using those! The challenge DOES require fast fingers, so be ready!
Good luck trying to figure it out! I'll post a solution video if no one figures it out after a while.

Well, no one posted here, so I'll just put up the solution that I found!

Nice! That's a really clever solution.

I'm on a Linux machine without WA at the moment, so couldn't participate, but I'm not sure I would've found this one.
What can I say... I tried to test that one THING (you know what I mean) as exhaustively as I could to make absolutely sure you couldn't get there without doing some ridiculous brr trickery like shooting while siding or turning on brr pads quickly before you drown... let's just say at least it seems like you can't get the coin with this solution.
But considering how long it took for a legit "come from below" route to happen, I think my testing delayed it long enough, even if a version with the coin is eventually found.

It's not something a player is likely to just accidentally stumble into (unlike "Suspicious Silence", where I feel like it's so broken now that you might find the trivial solution before any of the more complex ones, even though that didn't happen during testing), and even if they do, it's a complicated route that still requires the flo/brr idea.

Thanks for the compliments, everyone! I was able to find another alternate solution that allows you to get the coin!

What in the world...
OK, during my tests I did find something similar using "shooting while sliding" shenanigans, but I never found a clean "use the red herring for real" route without that. I was doing weird things like "slide diagonally over a brr pad and shoot flo up in the corridor to shield yourself from the fireball, but your "simple" idea of temporarily freezing the wee stinker for the same purpose... genius. Not something a casual player would ever randomly stumble upon, I believe, so I'm still going to give myself some credit for spotting all the easier ways to make this happen... but wow, what a route.
