Description:
Ash is a high school student who suffers bullying for his dark past, but he suddenly gets isekai'd to a nightmare world full of monsters. A fairy, Iris, wants to guide him to the Soul Gate that will take him home, but can he really trust this stranger? Worse yet, he'll also have to attack and dethrone the Crimson God, who wants to use the Soul Gate for malevolent purposes.

0:00 Recap
0:14 Ignis
Rose threatens Bell into helping her.
2:28 Cracking Tile Puzzle 1
2:52 Ignis
5:45 Cracking Tile Puzzle 2
6:01 Ignis
Turns out the Pieties are conducting human sacrifices too. The only difference is that their chosen sacrifices seem to be voluntary, but they still had to manipulate the sacrifice in the first place.
Ash defeats the Crimson Skulls that are transporting Melody, but Bell traps her in a cage. For some reason, we get the option to threaten or plea with him, but he'll run off with Melody either way.
12:45 Arcade
17:27 Ignis
17:51 Cracking Tile Puzzle 3
18:16 Ignis
18:58 Rose Statue Puzzle
19:59 Red Room
20:13 Ignis
The Demon Summoners are always a team of enemies. You don't get to fight the eye itself.
21:36 Bullet Bell
Bell tries to stop you with a bullet hell sequence while the left and right walls have spikes.
23:24 Ignis
Ash tries to take a boat across the lava, but it sinks. Somehow, Rose saves him.
30:39 Jinx's Quiz
The last question took me a few tries, but it turns out the Crimson God is Jesus.
31:30 Ignis
A bunch of Pieties do battle with a bunch of Crimson Skulls to allow Ash to continue forward. If you go back, you'll find a bloody Piety mask.
You'll find Bell solving a console minigame, but you can't interrupt him. You have to talk to Melody to continue the story, but when you walk back up, Bell solves the puzzle and instantly takes Melody with him.
35:03 Cracking Tile Puzzle 4
36:02 Ignis
Apparently, the Crimson Skulls will turn to ash if we kill their leader.
36:45 Block Pushing Puzzle
The poster has a hint for solving the igloo puzzle.
38:28 Diary Page
We usually find these before the Red Room and not after.
38:43 Bullet Bell
Well, there goes my no death streak. This will disallow me from using the statues of might for the rest of the run, and it autosaves. Now I know why there's only 1 save slot, but it's still very annoying.
41:14 Ignis Town
Even the shop and church are run by the Crimson Skulls.
At the north chapel, Bell reveals that he followed Rose's demands because she promised to spare Ash, but Ash shoves him aside to run into the chapel anyways without my input. Is this going to screw me out of the true ending?
Rose offers to let Ash in on the sacrifice's benefits and use Melody's life to escape the Below. But I refused. Also, it's hypocritical of Rose to want to spare Ash out of empathy for his situation while having no empathy for Melody's suffering. I guess Rose didn't learn anything at all.
47:54 Boss: Rose
50:54 Boss: Soul Piece 3
I hope you didn't waste all your resources fighting Rose.
53:36 Ignis Town
The Crimson Skulls all turn to dust like they deserve. Unfortunately, Melody is wounded and cannot be healed through conventional means.
As they burn down the chapel, Melody reveals that she once faced the Crimson God, but nearly died in one hit, which is bad news because she's supposed to have a defensive stat build.
58:44 Flashback
Gramps is on his last legs.
59:25 Piety HQ
The leader of the Pieties, Peter, is a total jerk. He refuses to help the party because they look too weak and because Ash criticizes his self-righteousness. I have no idea what the correct answer to his dialogue choice is.
You have the choice to forgive the tabloid guy.
Fortunately, Iris stole a Divine Elixir to heal Melody. Our meatshield is back!
1:12:46 Ignis Town
1:13:42 Glacies
I went back to solve the igloo puzzle.
1:14:18 Piety HQ
Turns out Peter is working for the Crimson God, which explains why the Pieties have blood sacrifices. We don't get to fight him though.
1:17:10 Magic Mirror
The mirror rooms show the protagonists their worst feelings and doubts. Iris tells us to go on ahead for some reason.
