Practically free time save right here if you get a big magic drop from the last blob and just use a comet to pick it up, will skip an entire crusher cycle. Someone get down to it and find a proper manipulation setup for this drop for a free time save. :p

Not sure if this is known or not but surely there's a way to make this a consistent drop?

It was known indeed, but there's no known manipulation. Seems complicated to find a way to always kill this enemy at the same frame :D But who knows, it might be possible.
