As the Great War of 500 Years Past continues, it's time to break out the big guns...Umbran Armor! Maybe you forgot about this all the way back from the Records of Time? But don't worry, you get a whole level dedicated to the thing, so go nuts! Remember, chicks dig giant robots and all that! (Though who doesn't to be honest?)

The Umbran Armor's moveset isn't nearly as varied as most of Bayo's other weapons, but it doesn't really need much! With devastatingly strong punches and kicks. machine guns mounted onto the arms and shotguns on the feet, they'll make quick work of just about any enemy. They even have dive kicks! Their main flaw is that they are a tad slow, and their Umbran Climax works to "merely" up their already ridiculous damage output with no increase to attack range.

Seriously, these things are so good that Beloved and Urbane/Gravitas enemies don't even qualify as minibosses anymore! No health bars! Even with a larger than average Beloved acting as a miniboss, it stands no chance at all. Word to the wise here...there's a chest or two that I miss here in my rampage, so take time to explore if you so desire...there's at least one heart piece in it for you.

Verse 3....good God....they had NO chance at all! I know MOST of the challenge portals are a lot easier this time around but...this really WAS practically zero-effort. By the way, there's no way to exit the Umbran Armor, so you ARE indeed locked into this for this challenge, should you have wanted to try to make it harder on yourself. I don't think you'd be able to beat it with Bayo's normal damage output anyway...

Continuing onwards Rosa will use Hekatoncheir to keep Sapientia busy while we make our way through a whole legion of Beliefs! They're still annoyingly hardy, which is why I guess they decided to have you fight on a bridge where you can just make them fall off. Short and sweet, I guess!

But of course Sapientia isn't going down without a fight...against TWO Umbran Armors though....NO CHANCE. Neat that you can shoot his missiles down, though dodging might be better overall.

And NOW it's time to take the Worships on! To the skies! This is our Zone of the Enders moment, I suppose. Its certainly cool! To take the Worship's main face down, we'll have to destroy the faces on its sides to take down it's force field...and yes, that's a sentence I never though I'd have to use. Damn, Pure Platinum? Well, I try! Sorry about that giant laser that blocks the screen...that's basically what it's designed for, I guess. Should you dodge it and get Witch Time you can still attack during that beam's duration...you just can't see a damn thing, I guess!

Hey, we got ALL the virtues here! Well, most of 'em anyway! How are you, Iustia? You'll notice that Balder never summoned this Cardinal Virtue, but at least we get to tussle with it anyway!

Now, I enjoy the flight battles overall. They're a fun change of pace, they look really neat and are great spectacle...but that doesn't change the fact that a lot of the fights are more about chasing down enemies that just constantly dart around and run away than they are about directly fighting them. Iustia is such an example, being a pain to hit. I mean, its not HARD but it's more than a little annoying to have to play catch-up all the time. Stupid tentacle monster...

Bayo's in a bind, but will use her mighty fingering skills to....yeah, I'm just....gonna leave this sentence unfinished....yeeaaaaah.

Ch-Chapter is over! Hey, that was short but sweet, r-right? Heh. Must have forgotten a Verse in there, probably had to backtrack, as is the standard. And hey, a new item in the shop. I WONDER WHAT THESE EARRINGS DO.
