NOTE: As I said in my latest Smash Replay video, I have run into some issues with my capture software. No matter what I did, Bayo 2 footage was utterly unsalvagable. However, after uninstalling things, and then re-downloading it, it...seems to have worked? So enjoy an extra-long video to make up for it!

Just two things to cover first: 1, we got a weapon from Rodin (and some assorted Techniques, like Crow Within) in my failed recording, and 2...we get two LP fragments in this chapter and in that old recording I...missed the first half. Whoops!

Now, that new weapon we'll use now is Undine! No, not the Undertale character! Dual clubs that double as flamethrowers, Undine's Bullet Climax switches elements, now an ice...thrower. Both attacks have decent range when it comes to spraying, but they can be slow and leave you open. Fire does extra damage as enemies are burned, while ice will eventually freeze enemies in place. This also works on bosses, but takes a LOT of effort. OK, all caught up.

Aha! Snake Within! I just KNEW we'd have a faster way to get through water eventually, so here's a whole level dedicated to it! While cool...I do feel the controls leave a bit to be desired. Seriously, you control it's head with the right stick, which also moves the camera...so I apologize if things get super disorienting.

And now Fidelity shows how much of a pain they can be in the water...with water mines! Also by swimming out of reach. As we reach the Underground Gravestone, we have our first Infernal enemy (Gomorrah's a boss, so he doesn't "count"), Pain! Driver of Agony! Man, those Demon titles are awesome! Pain can be...well, a pain, if you're ready for it. It'll grind you up and shoot at you, and take down the entire graveyard if you let it! (BTW, you DO get something for breaking them all. A ton of Halos, but not much else.

Once that's done and water begins to fill the place, we have a TON of secrets...that I do in a weird order. Sorry. Verse 7, then travel back down into the water for Verse 5. "Don't Touch the Ground!" These start easy, but these will get tricky fast, so take enemies out quickly!

We've got a chest with a ton of Halos, and then Verse 6! Now, once we're topside again, that random golden room with nothing in it? A Gold LP fragment will be there the first time through the stage. Why they put NOTHING there on any replays is odd. Not even a lollipop?

This place is crawling with chests, huh? There's that one past the stairs, two down in the graveyard and after we're done with the walk-and-talk bit (where Bayo and Loki are a tad vulnerable with each other), backtrack and get that Midas's Testament!

Here's L-U-K-A Luka! To...say all the stuff we already heard in the very beginning of the game. That said, you probably weren't paying attention the first time...so why do that whole narration in the first place?

After fighting atop...whatever that orb is, here's a brief change of pace! Loki can't do much but dodge and toss cards when his magic meter is full, but it's interesting. Don't get used to it, because that's the LAST time we'll be playing as him.

We finish things off with a fight against Urbane and its new icy variant, Gravitas. Not sure why it doesn't get an intro...or why its got a new name in the first place.

Damn, that Chapter just kept going, huh? Onwards! Well, we're slowly making our way up this mountain, aren't we? Let's rock!
