are you talking about save scumming? p sure they fixed that
No it's still a thing. The only thing that was changed was the same save having different items in a chest, but if you walk around before opening a chest, you can still get different items. I used it to save scum to get a regen whetstone.
Are you sure about that? I try save scumming and it constantly turns corrupt and ends the run.
That's how I did it
