Skip to 1:00 for the relevant part.
Proof of concept that knocking out Cala Maria during phase 1 is possible.
It's only possible to deal enough damage with the red fish, so that's why I had to wait an eternity just to get that specific attack.
(The attack cycle has a predictable pattern of Red Fish-Ghosts-Golden Fish-Ghosts. It can start at any of those 4 positions and then it loops at the end)

Finally finished a deathless run with both Octopus Skip and Beppi Glitch. While this run still has a substantial amount of time to be saved, Im pretty satisfied for now.")

Still not entirely satisfied with the run, I have a close to 30 seconds time save on Beppi due to getting a Glitch-less fight. Plus a few time losses sprinkled here and there. I honestly feel like there are enough optimizations and strategies at this point to make a Sub-30 run extremely plausible.

Note: as of the 12th of May 2018 the All Bosses - Glitchless category has become simply All Bosses (which as a consequence now allows glitches to be performed during the run).
The title has been updated to reflect that but the layout remains outdated.
Could be pushed a lot more.")
