Firmament - Normal Mode S+ Run Using Checkpoints [Vasuki/Cerberus/Orochi] | Azure Striker Gunvolt
Here is the video for my S+ rank for Firmament on Normal Mode for Gunvolt 1 using the Checkpoint + Voltaic Chains method that I highlighted in my S+ guide here: • Normal Mode S+ Guide Using Checkpoints - S...
This was an awesome final stage, and ended up being much easier to S+ than I thought! Septimal Surge makes short work of Nova Phase 1, and I actually was able to finish Phase 2 without getting hit for the first time ever. I was really surprised that I was able to get the S+ without having to fight the "True" final boss.
After dozens of attempts at each section, I was able to achieve the S+ rank and get the "My Will is Already Written in the Stars!" Playstation Trophy, even though I made some mistakes along the way. I used Vasuki for Section 1, Cerberus for Phase 1, and Orochi for Phase 2.
I absolutely loved my time with Gunvolt trying to get the S+ scores on Normal mode, and this was the final stage that I wanted to complete this way. I ended up starting an Easy Mode playthrough in order to get the S+ scores for the "Gauntlet" levels (since I personally didn't find them too fun), and to complete all the challenges in the game. I had an incredible time playing this game and am so glad that I stumbled upon it.
