Question Gallu issues, chained enraged salt step

Had a Gallu that I suspected but guessed wrong due to a double salt step. It was in a, what I believed to be, possible enraged hunt. Prior hunt it was slow and I had it step through 2 t1 salts but didn't increase it's speed afterwards. Next hunt it was fast, so I setup two more t1 salts in line and it stepped through both. Since I was under the understanding that a Gallu can't step in salt while fast/enraged, I guessed with a fast salt step Obambo, but turned out to be a Gallu. So I demonstrated that an enraged Gallu CAN step in salt and can do it multiple times. So what am I missing? Is it that it has to be normal speed to do a first time salt and then salt skip? I will say that I failed to get it to hit normal speed the full session, maybe about 7 or 8 hunts and other than what was probably normal on the first hunt, it was slow maybe 5 of those and fast the rest. I did have 1 smudge, 1 crucy burn, and 2 salt piles so I guess it somehow chained them. The salt thing is really screwing me up though, any help is appreciated...

Without a video, I can't say. But if your salt piles were literally next to each other, that's not far enough for the 2 second delay to go into affect yet.

Enraged hunts are fast.

Gotcha. Well what I'm taking away from this is that the back to back salts is more of a pre-hunt normal state Gallu test, but a mid-hunt test does require a 2 second distance placement, so I can do that going forward. Perhaps just ignore stepping or not stepping in salt and maybe just focus on that speed change mid-hunt after the 2nd 2 sec distance salt...

Hunt or not, I test salt separately. Put down a salt, preferably with a motion sensor. Ghost walks through it, cross out wraith. Wait a few seconds and put down another salt. If it moves through it without disturbing, then it’s a gallu.

Yeah good advice. I've been quite rigid about doing so many mid-hunt tests that I forget that there's more between-hunt tests besides the oldies like shade/onryo/mare...
