Tower of Fate

Some couple more Curios, and besides the Shadow Mirror, I don't think I'll be seeing the usage of any one of them anytime soon. The Willful Wisp has Will restoration and that's all I really need. Can't deny the Dread Talon will make fun of those pesky Goldarmors though, and that's something. But the fun part (which is the entire video in comparison) is taking on Horace's Challenge.

To be honest, it reminds me a bit of mobile games like Jetpack Joyride or Subway Surfers where a couple of patterns get repeated endlessly (or as far as the Tower goes) but randomly, the challenge being memorizing each of these patterns and how to best move through them and transitioning between them properly. It took me several attempts to get to the top, all recorded in this video. In a way, it reminds me of how I've managed to beat Touhou Perfect Cherry Blossom for the first time, that is, throwing countless attempts at the challenge until the entirety of the Solar System was aligned to form one line! Okay, until I actually get everything right in the winning attempt that is.

The winning attempt only starts at 27:20 if you intend to skip. If I didn't have a firm grasp of Specty's controls beforehand, this recording would've been most likely an hour long, possibly split into two parts. The Challenge emphasizes the ability to make quick decisions while being under the pressure of the impending doom following you from below. And of course, your ability to control Specter Knight properly to his utmost potential and react as swiftly as possible to everything around you. It is indeed a challenge. I could have expected more than a couple of gems, but more cloaks and better Curios is better than losing more gems in battle.
