Can I S-Rank Cala Maria without being Petrified?
I recently saw a challenge to beat Cala Maria without being petrified on chickeninja42's channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/Chickeninja42 - and wondered if it was possible to S-rank the fight without being petrified. I believe speedrunners don't get petrified in P3 from being very close for whetstone and the fight ending quickly, so this is more for casual play.
Phase two is easy to avoid since when shrunk being in the top right avoids the eye beam and all the attacks from the eels. For phase three sometimes the blast has a safe spot you can pass through but often covers the entire path of the tunnel. Chickeninja42's strategy was to take damage for iframes when the blast came out. Instead, I found smoke bomb's brief iframes when shrinking could let you pass through the blast if you shrink right before being hit at the top or bottom portions of the blast and rushing through. With that, it was just a bit of practice to get a win.
