It's probably the other way around: they will consume the father as they are transforming into the grubberflies that will eventually emerge from his corpse.

      I just finished Steel Soul run today at 104% in 15hrs. I didn't do any skip and get to areas with the intended abilities/items, and I don't rush, just playing casually.
      First playthrough will always be long because you didn't know what to do.
      Maybe another reason why I'm also fast was because I use fragile greed on first half of the game and deposit 4500 geo at the scam bank (got 1.5x from the scammer back), so I never have to farm at all

It's not very helpful though: the fireball spell won't help you much with False Knight since you can't get much soul during that fight, the next boss isn't going to be any easier, and you need the City Crest obtained by defeating False Knight to progress later in the game (unless you take an unusual route around that obstacle).
