I was wondering about the thunder staff too, and maybe few cores to help through the run since 2 or 3 are easy to get.

Hello, I discovered this game few days ago and as I love it I wanted to make it my first speedrunning game in any %.
If there are other people who want to talk about optimised paths/weapons to have etc ... i will be more than happy to contribute.
My main question should be, is it okay to try and rush the Folded edge axe in the north star conduit, even if the hidden room to unlock it is really hard (as the weapon will help a lot for the rest of the run)
Thanks a lot :)
