You may be surprised to find that not only is this mentioned in the guide, but it's also one of the first things in the guide
I get sad when I see others get angry at Uumuu. Sad, because I know that they’re actually angry at themselves, for having terrible Watcher Knight and Hollow Knight fights. Because Uumuu is so easy to optimize, they take their anger out on him, becoming more and more insecure and never addressing their own personal problems. I just wish more people understood that RNG doesn’t ruin runs: speedrunners ruin runs.
Another fun thing would be something like "All Dream Warriors" which I think some in the discord already have tried in the past
I did this a bit ago and got a 15:16, but it's just not a fun run more than 2-3 people would ever run.
No, on 1.4+ Husk Hives (The ones that spawn small bees) will after a while start spawning bugged bees that; -Have 1 health (dies to one nail slash) -Don't have a hurtbox (They can't damage you but you can damage them) -Can drop essence and they spawn super fast as well so you just go to the room in Hive with three Husk Hives, get them into a specific corner and upslash bees for 30 hours
