Maybe cuz nobody knew, but you can kill the winter lanturn.

It says "Prey Slaughtered" when you kill it, which only happens with the three other major bosses. You also get insight for killing it.

Also the rules says everything has to be on recent patch, but like nothing is. Maybe just make a new catergory at this point? Idk just sayin.

You can do infinite sword glitch on the most recent patch. I know a couple ways of doing it.

A - Hold left attack (unequipped) and then start holding right attack soon after(about halfway through left attack animation) Keep holding both buttons till the animation has fully played out. You may need to go next to something to see the active hitbox.

B - Pressing roll and attack while landing. You might need to roll off the ledge as well. I'm not exactly sure, but this just happens a lot accidently.

You can't seem to stun Father G the same way, maybe because the knives do less damage. The knives are still good for parrying Gilbert tho.

There's my food for thought. This demake is so cool, and really fun to speedrun.

Thank you for posting this thread I wasn't aware of this! I only recently inherited the moderator position after the previous mod left the game inactive for about 4 months so any weird discrepancies are just due to loose moderation. I'll take a look at everything today though and make some changes! If you've got any more concerns or recommendations just let me know.

So after a bit of further research the reason that the Winter Lantern isn't included in all bosses is due to the fact that there are at minimum two of them, one of which isn't easily killable. The Winter Lantern in question can be encountered in several locations but most easily after killing Gascoigne.

While the other Lantern located in Gilbert's Estate can be one-shot using the chandelier the Gascoigne Lantern would require about 20 minutes to kill, given that it has 99,999 hp.

There is an exploit that simplifies this process by getting the Lantern stuck on a wall EXAMPLE ) but it would be rather repetitive for the run and as such the boss was just entirely excluded from the rules.

As an aside they aren't traditionally considered bosses in the original game and also do not have a proper boss health bar despite being the highest hp enemies. However, if there's interest in a proper All Bosses category incorporating the Lanterns I will create a new updated category. (it would also be interesting if we found a faster way to kill the Gascoigne Lantern).
