Geo Rumor Honeybottoms Whetstone Only with Divine Relic

Oh man I am so BEEzed out from this, it took over an hour with Divine Relic but I used 3-4 hours of attempts with Base Whetstone, however it felt 5-6 hours.
I hated pretty much all the phases, Phase 1 wasn't hard, just super slow which gets me impatient and greedy, Phase 2 isn't bad but it can get you sometimes if you're not careful, pretty much just spam damage when she's in the middle, you can spam also when she's on the left or right side but be careful of those tiny gaps, you have no idea how many times I fell through those tiny gaps... I HATE THEM SO MUCH! They are tiny but they are still there and I hate them! Nothing makes me hate Rumor aside from those tiny gaps! Phase 3... I think it's the worst Phase for sure but even then it's not unBEEable, like Phase 2 it can get you sometimes if you have bad luck. No excuses on that Phase 1 and 2 hit, and some of the Phase 3 hits were my fault and others were just bad luck.
The reason why I had to use Divine Relic was mainly because of my controller, it's a total mess! I keep getting jumplocked like crazy and other times my character would stay at the same X position without moving even if you move the joystick either left or night! I am not exactly how to fix it or what's behind this behavior, I even cleaned it and looked at it for signs of dirt but I still experienced this issue... I might need a new controller after this.
Base Whetstone IS possible but you need crazy luck, and a good controller that doesn't act funny. Sometimes a platform is at a bad spot, other times you won't have platforms (Looking at your middle column) or just your controller where you need it to behave properly and not jumplocke you or put you in a bad position, especially when the joystick freezes on you at a bad time and won't let you move to get out of a bad spot.
Maybe one day when I get a better controller I might come back with Base Whetstone but for now I'm proud of this win with the Divine Relic.

i wonder how much of this mod is realistically beatable whetstone only, wonder if every fight will eventually be done at some point (excluding impossible ones that is)

Depends what you mean by realistically and whether you allow Divine Relic or not, Rumor and Goopy are definitely doable with Base Whetstone, a boss like Cagney Carnation can easily be done with Base Whetstone (You would really need to be careful for his stupid hitbox though that's around his head...), a boss like Moonshine Mob could probably easily be done with Whetstone Only IF you use the Divine Relic, mainly because of Phase 2, you will struggle on that Phase A LOT with Base Whetstone, however Phase 3 would probably be a problem too since you'll have to dodge the Anteater for a long time, and a boss like Devil... you're gonna be on that fight for an extremely long time even with the Divine Relic, and KD... we don't talk about him...
