Touhou 8 IN: Extra Stage Personal First Clear
2Replay of my first ever clear of Imperishable Night's, well, any Touhou's Extra for that matter.
Attacks that I have the most trouble with:
Forgiveness "Honest Man's Death" - Absolutely uberimpossible for me. Reasons for this are given in the video.
Hourai "Fujiyama Volcano" - I would need Solo Yukari to clear this. Even more annoying is that if you die here or in Possessed by Phoenix, you won't have Full Power Mode for Hourai Doll.
Nonspell Preceding Fujiyama Volcano - It goes too fast for me. I always end up wasting at least 2 bombs here because I don't know how the hell'm I supposed to dodge it.
Spellcards of IN Extra:
Keine Kamishirasawa (EX, Midboss)
--------------------------------------
Past "Ancient History"
Static pattern needles and streaming arrows. Not too hard.
Reincarnation "Returning-Bridge Ichijo"
Needles spawn from behind you and move towards Keine. You have to find the gaps in between the needle waves to weave through. Not too hard.
Future "The Next History of Phantasm"
A harder version of Ancient History, with the static pattern of needles moving slower and beans instead of arrows.
----------------------------------------------
Fujiwara no Mokou
----------------------------------------------
Limiting Edict "Ihakasa's Moon Curse"
A counterclockwise spiral of green needles and a clockwise arc of blue blades. The blades come back and aim right at you when they reach the end of the screen, so it's a sort of streaming.
Immortal "Fire Bird -Flying Phoenix-"
Very, very large streaming. I fail it entirely in the video though. Shoots an aimed phoenix-shaped fire pattern towards you, preceded by a wave of red beans. The phoenix leaves a large trail of red crystals. The third wave fires three phoenixes in an arc, the middle one being aimed at you and the other two next to the middle one. Preceded by multiple waves of beans. It also "dispels" the trails of the previous 2 phoenixes. The next single phoenix dispels the trails of the three phoenixes before it.
Fujiwara "Flaw of Forgiving Shrine"
Debatably her easiest attack, creates 2 ripples of blue amulets that slow down and bounce back at the end of the screen turning into purple amulets. Only horizontal movement is advised.
Deathless "Xu Fu's Dimension"
Debatably her easiest attack (debatable with Flaw of Forgiving Shrine), creates large blue and red manjis made of amulets that spread outward or inward (blue ones outward, red ones inward), semicircle shaped waves of red needles and a wavy stream of red needles aimed at you. Has a safespot for every few seconds on top of each blue amulet at the very bottom of the screen (the amulet's hitbox is literally right on top of you, were you any closer, you would die). You still have to stream the needles though.
Forgiveness "Honest Man's Death"
The most annoying attack of the fight. Fires superfast wavy streams of needles from her wings that are aimed to your sides, a constant arc of reddish black beans and a laser every few seconds that sweeps the entire screen. The laser's hitbox only materializes just before the middle of the screen on the side which it came from. If you don't have great micrododging for the beans, you are doomed.
Everlasting "Phoenix's Tail"
Generally not too hard. Vertically moving fire bullets at different speeds and a single large aimed red bullet every few seconds. Can wall you if you're unlucky.
Hourai "Fujiyama Volcano"
Three different patters. First fires a circle of red bullets and a single "volcano" (happens every time a volcano is shot), then fast streams of arrows aimed directly at you and four volcanoes. Does part 2 again except with MANY more volcanoes, then fires many circles of red bullets and one volcano. Repeats.
Volcanoes are always aimed right at you when they are launched. Hard.
"Possessed by Phoenix"
Survival card. Has four phases. All phases summon familiars to your sides that use different kinds of bullets. 1st phase uses spreading purple bullets. 2nd phase uses aimed blue arrows that tend to clip you with their residual arrows from each wave. 3rd phase uses volcanoes. 4th phase uses a combination of volcanoes and spreading purple bullets.
"Hourai Doll"
Last required spellcard. Creates blue and red bullets that are aimed. Each spawned wave leaves a single static bullet in place, forming a net of bullets around you as time passes. After reducing to about 70% health, starts shooting waves of yellow needles at 2 different speeds. After reducing to about 40% health, starts shooting a stream of aimed red arrows at you.
"Imperishable Shooting"
Last spell. Never gotten to, so I don't know the details. I suspect that the requirement to get to Mokou's Last Spell is to capture Hourai Doll, or reach a certain amount of score.
--------------------------------
So, a lengthy description about all the spells in IN Extra (except for Imperishable Shooting).
TL;DR: Touhou extra stages are hard.
