Great unique indie shmup, this extra stage is much harder than the first -- the final few patterns are very rough and make me wish the game had a way to practice them outside of just getting there again. Again, on this difficulty, you get 4 hits per "spellcard" that shows up by name at the bottom right, and if you take more you lose a spellcard life yourself -- 3 lives and its game over. Losing a life also starts the pattern over again from the end of the last named spellcard. Most enemy spellcards have an intro phase without a name before it, these don't refresh your 4 hits when you beat them.

Basically everything after "Intro Pattern 6" was very hard, with a short break at "Shining Magnus: Paradigm Shift". In particular, "Shining Magnus: Hunter's Mark" is very difficult, and often took at least a life if not just ended my run, and then I lost countless runs on the final pattern either to taking too many hits or just losing the DPS race.

Thanks to Jaimers for a lot of strats from this video:

This was for achievement:
"Together Forever?" - Defeat the Heroes United on Very Hard.

I edited in the starting cutscenes from an earlier run, I had them turned off when I got the clear. If for some reason you want my unedited run it's uploaded here, but I doubt anyone cares:
