Today, we're playing Hollow Knight: Speedrunner vs. Hunters, but for True Ending for the first time ever! I have to collect all the Dreamers, defeat most of the bosses in the game, collect 1800 essence, complete The White Palace, get Void Heart, and defeat The Radiance. Can I pull it off while four hunters try to stop me?

▶ FULL RULES
• The Speedrunner wins by defeating The Radiance. Hunters win by killing the Speedrunner.
• Dream Deaths: Speedrunner deaths within dreams don't immediately end the game. After three deaths within dreams, the Speedrunner loses.

Hunters gain a Mask after the Speedrunner collects two movement abilities, and again when they collect five movement abilities.
• Lifelines: A Hunter may open their map to find the Speedrunner's area. Only one Hunter may open the map per lifeline and should not hold it open for more than fifteen seconds. A lifeline can be used every fifteen minutes.
• Sound Effects: A sound broadcasts when the speedrunner: uses the Dream Nail for an objective (Dreamer/Dream Boss essence), purchases an item or upgrade, or takes a Stag.
