See, that's different. The trick to trivializing Lavatein is something that is consciously done, and is completely different than the one for Ten Evil Stars in that you will come directly into the area where you'd safespot whether you want to or not. I've tried doing Ten Evil Stars without the safespot, and like I said I captured it by squeezing into the safespot line whenever the suns drew close.
More on topic, Banana actually said something useful?! I have saved my HRtP no bombs run and am working on it now. Technically it's not a "no bombs" run since I accidentally bombed twice, but the first bomb did absolutely nothing and the second only spared me one life, of which is no matter as I finished the game with multiple lives remaining.
