Spent the April Fools' weekend looking at normal in FoS. Probably close to 2 years since I last did anything notable in this game. Honestly not sure if the third suicide I did on stage 1 helped all that much. I heard someone got 4 billion on normal earlier in the year. Probably wasn't until now I felt the urge to come back to this. I have no idea how to improve this run from here with my current approach. Bouncing around the idea of delaying when I kill certain fairies, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to try that at this point in time.
Run was mostly a no bomb run. Those blue crystals don't appear if the boss/midboss gets hit with a bomb during their attacks. The only time I had bombs somewhat planned was when Cirno was still a blue ball, and I'm honestly not sure if that helped or not.
