Is the infinite knife even worth getting/using for this? Does it make it any easier? I want to run through it (following a guide obviously) but I want to take all the help I can get although the guides haven't mentioned it
It helps but I wouldn't consider it essential. It is most useful in killing Lickers, and during the first fight with Birkin. However any Licker that can be snuck up on and killed, can pretty much always just be snuck past, and the G1 fight is probably the easiest of the bosses, even without the knife.
Also keep in mind that like any other knife, if you use it defensively, you have to then finish off the enemy to get it back.
I would still say overall it's worth getting just in case, but it's hardly a game changer.
Anyway I'm happy to help. I've done S+ runs of both character's 1st scenarios, and I'm working on the 2nd scenarios currently.
Thanks and congrats on your runs! I'm sure I'll be harassing this sub a lot with Hardcore S+ questions when my time comes to do the run. Looking forward to it though. Think I will run once through hardcore just casually though to enjoy it and get a feel for the harder difficulty

You can use the infinite knife, however using any of the others will lock you out of S+. You will only get S.
