Sorry for the poor quality. I'm not Aftermath so I can't record good stuff.

For some reason I felt like playing CVHD today,and like my second attempt was perfect up to Astarte. Decided to keep going and like 5 hours later, I got this. It was worth the fury it caused me.

This level is a nightmare as Simon. The pyramid climb itself presents so many problems. Once I get inside though, I have to deal with the insane randomness of this stage. There are 6 ghosts in the first descent that need to be out of my way. I usually blindly fall and land on one or more of them and have to restart. Every ectoplasm needs to be out of the way so I can fall down those shafts, otherwise I either die, lose all my MP, or just lose like 10 seconds. The mummies can attack me before they're on screen and kill me, so all 6 of them need to not do that. Ghosts need to be clear on the escape after hitting the switch, I need to hit 2 corner boosts to make it to the elevator in time, then gurkha master needs to not walk forward or attack early. Finally, nova skeleton needs to not do the random beam shot before I get there. Oh, and then I need the corner boost into Astarte's room and she has to use the charm attack. If she does anything else, I lose a minimum of 3 seconds.

This level is a mess. Absolute mess. This particular run is perfect except for the boulder section. A good corner boost would've saved one boulder cycle. Considering how awful this stage is to run though, I am very happy with this!
