I was wanting to attempt an Octavioless run, but I have a few questions.

1. Can I use any weapon, or do I have to use the splattershot?

2. Do I have to do the bosses? (other than Octavio)

3. What do I need video footage for, me playing hero mode or the times in the records section?

If someone can answer these that would appreciated, thanks!

Hey there @KirblesOcto. Do not submit to that miscellaneous category as runs have not been moved over from the Category Extensions page yet. Also no one reads the forums so please join the Discord Server instead for the series to ask questions: https://discord.gg/GuSyHF8NT5

1. For NG+ you are allowed to use as many different types of weapons as possible within the run itself. If you want to use 1 weapon for the entire run refer to these categories instead: https://www.speedrun.com/splatoon2ce#NG_Weapon_RTA

2. Yes you are required to fight every boss. You are required to beat every level as per the rules of the category. The only exception to this is Octavioless where you don't have to fight Octavio.

3. For full game speedruns you don't need video proof until you have under a certain time. Be sure to read the category rules for what that may be. If you are submitting without video proof provide a picture of your splits or the time that you got for the run. For video proof standards we need to see you play the ENTIRE RUN. For individual level speedruns you don't need video proof until you are going for the world record in that level. So a picture or switch clip will suffice as proof.

Hopefully this answered your question.
