Hitless Any% FAQ

1221 for access to lever skips and other speed tech

Heckdouken:
-Right stick look downs to avoid Gruzzers
-Double spike kill, precise on 1221
-Kill FK for geo. Other option is Moss Knights which are less consistent.
-Don't need City Crest because we don't need left side city, we need right side.

-Soul Catcher for extra soul for more spells. Allows overcharming earlier.

Greenpath:
-Same as speedrun. Kill a few extra enemies for safety.

Shaman Stone:
-We get this before fungal so that we can continue on with the route. Same fights as normal speedrun.
-We do not equip it just yet because it makes the mantis pogo later more consistent, and isn't yet needed.

Mantises:
-This split is exactly the same as a normal run.
-Low% explosion pogo cannot risk being hit.

Tram Pass:
-We need access to specifically right side city, but cannot shade skip. We take tram there.
-This segment is extremely consistent and relies on soul management to use 3 fireballs at the end in the one room that can be a problem.
-The dirtcarver shooters will never hit you if you don't slow down.

Dream Nail:
-I fill up on soul here to have 3 fireballs for later in the split with risky enemies.
-We'll kill as much as we can to save up for Dash Slash.
-Falling from dreams in our ruleset does not count as a hit. We will still do the drop that saves a second loadless.

Dash Slash:
-Same as a normal run.

Shade Soul and DDive:
-Dash Slash lever skips allow us to skip the hard part of getting Shade Soul and most of Sanctum.
-Twister makes remaining bosses more consistent.
-Twisters that have been killed will not respawn allowing an easier exit.
-Picking up DDive is a hard save so we need to leave the intended way.

Watchers:
-Same as the TE Shade Soul fight. Gives remaining geo for the run

CDash:
-Enter through dive entrance because we will not be getting lantern. Dive's iframes are more valuable later for drops.
-Same as speedrun.

hkUwu:
-Dive for drops.
-Normal Shade Soul fight.

Trap Bench and Herrah:
-Acid skip going to QG is much more lenient than QGA. Dash Slash to enter.
-Dive used for drops
-Fireball spiders through wall for safety. Devouts die to 3.

Big Brother:
Normal Shade Soul THK fight.
