I haven't uploaded in a while, so I thought I would upload this since I got it today.

This run is a Pacifist run, essentially meaning that killing is not allowed. The Pacifist condition can be checked at the end of the run in the journal. I also have a pink Pacifist tracker that lets me verify if the run is still Pacifist. To kill Hundun in a Pacifist run, several different tactics are used. For example, in this run, a clone gun is used to clone a bomb that kills Chicken Head. This is Pacifist because cloned items are not initially owned by the player, meaning that the game will not blame the player for what the cloned bomb kills. To kill Snake Head in a Pacifist manner, the player can die with the Ankh at the same time as killing Snake Head to avoid being blamed. The Snake Head kill must be done in the same frame as the player dies for it to be Pacifist. The reason that this works is pretty complicated, and it has to do with how spawn order works and how much health the player has when the bombs start exploding. You can leave a comment if you want more information.

This run features some pretty good Hundun movement RNG, which made Snake Head spawn pretty quickly. Unfortunately, I panicked a little and didn't place the bombs down quickly enough, which wasted a bit of the timesave. Could definitely have gotten sub-42 if I had placed the bombs down quicker. If anyone else wants to attempt this strategy, please note that having at least 12 health at the time of exploding yourself with 3 bombs is very important! Also, being in water at the time of exploding yourself will mess this strategy up. I might go for sub-42 in the future.
