Cloth - we helped her be a warrior and she died a warriors death Quirrel - died of old age Tiso - died of battle Nailsmith - now this is arguable about being evil but he did wish for death and even tho their is a better option, fufling his wish is still justifiable. Leg eater - we got a bro laided, we did the right thing Marrisa - evil spooky ghost :P

[@Geckoreo]

argument for each zote - i don’t have a reason for this one, they deserved it myla - it’s possible they could’ve been saved if radiance is killed quirrel - they completed their goal but it’s still sad nailsmith - they could’ve been with sheo, i think they are happy there marissa - they sing and aren’t spooky or evil

Uh... Whatever that Community Shrine was. DESTROY THE WHOLE THING! Spare Broken Vessel and all the Dreamers until the previous requirements (that can be) have been done in Crossroads.

For anyone slightly more insane than Skurry here's another version of the Geno Route that is even more insane.

Large enemies are defined as enemies that only respawn if you bench, so at the end you should be able to walk around all of Hallownest while only encountering small enemies.
