I reintegrated this category with a slightly different rule as i think it has a place here even if it is niche and only address to the most assiduous runners, it makes the game a lot more difficult mainly boss fights.

"Ending C+ only as it will not be possible to unlock the other route. You can open chests but it is not allowed to collect stuff inside except for the wood shield, thor hammer is forbidden too."
