[18:15] Ending

This video took longer than I expected to finish. I started a new game+, with active Penitence of the True Guilt. It wasn't too hard, although I did have some difficulties and unfortunate deaths. But there's one thing, which got me stuck for a while - Isidora, one of the new bosses.

You have no idea how much time I wasted trying to no-hit her fight. I 𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒆 her fireballs. In phase 1, it's not that big of a deal. You just move and dodge around them to keep them in one place. But in phase 2 they just spawn constantly while the boss keeps hitting you with other attacks. There's often a situation where you get cornered and you're forced to take a hit. You can't parry or dodge through the fireballs, the only way to get rid of them is to parry some other attack and touch the fireballs while you're invincible.

Aside from fireballs, she's not too hard. Her triple horizontal attack in phase 1 might look tough, but it's actually very easy to deal with. She seems to always sync that attack with the beat of the song, so it's easy to tell when to parry or jump.

The other bosses are much more manageable. Snake is a bit spongy and takes a while to die, but has simple attacks. Crisanta 2 is fast, but you can still parry her to death. Escribar's fight is still very easy. Green orbs can be a little hard to handle, but everything else is very easy to avoid.

* I've been asked about what beads I used in Crisanta's fight - here they are:

1. Token of Appreciation
2. Fire Enclosed in Enamel
3. Scale of Burnished Alabaster
4. Knot of Hair
5. Big Toe Made of Limestone
6. Big Bead of Blue Wax
7. The Yong Masons Wheel

Well, this is it. I feel a little sad that this game is now complete. It was an amazing journey. Let's see how the sequel will turn out.
