Here after the run. Sorry, I couldn't join the stream due to my timezone but watched it after. Congrats!
You can remove the "Assembly-CSharp.dll" for the minisavestates in the managed folder for hk. After that, you can replace it with the vanilla file which will allow hk to be running. Make sure Hollow Knight is closed before starting.
Tiso% would be fun! After getting dash, talking to him in dirtmouth can end the category.
I am aware that a lot of people do colo runs on patch 1.2.2.1 due to it spawning enemies faster and has a higher chance of double hits. However, people running on latest patch are at a disadvantage and do not have access to these faster strats. I am suggesting seperating the colo categories into two sections: one on 1.2.2.1 and the other for later patches. Any thoughts on this?
