So many close calls! Nice work!

I've been playing this game for a few years now and I had not realized you can extend alfred's double to get all the power ups.

After seeing your other playthroughs and playing it myself, I almost want to say he's top 3 or 2 for Solo Mode. Miriam's run took you less time, but Gebel's run *heavily* handicapped you by playing the first 2 stages on a harder route, missing a power up, and playing Gremory's stage on a harder route. As for why I think she's worse: Miriam misses 2 of the most important power ups (being a Heart and the Armor), making her basically as frail as Zangetsu. Also, from personal experience, Miriam REALLY doesn't have any BS on her side, making everything she does skill-dependant. She has the same weakness of Zangetsu where she's an honest character and doesn't have anything that just blows through part of the game: Dominique can attack upwards, pole-jump over the hardest parts of stage 8 and heals herself and others, Alfred's Flame Wheel negates 90% of the enemies and skips Gremory (and if you can get lightning, he skips EVERY boss), Gebel skips entire stages, cheats death, and self-heals, Hachi is BS incarnate, and even Robert has the Scarf which skips the final and 4th bosses. Miriam can put in work with Axe, but it's too expensive to win her any boss - it just makes the fight easier. Everything else is completely honest.

Funny thing is, I've since learned there's 2, if not 3 ways she can get the armor in Stage 7. First is as mentioned in the comments, and that's bouncing off of Dominique's heart plant. The second 2 actually involve switching to legendary difficulty, if only temporarily. Doing so makes a flying demon spawn on that screen, so you can theoretically damage boost to it using Dominique's high jump sub weapon (normal jumping is barely too low), but if that doesn't work you can also just use the wind spell to give you a jump boost.

1:07:22 That is pretty sick!

Good gameplay, but the way you end every sentence like it's a question gets pretty grating.

27:16 I actually accomplished this by acquiring the Axe at the end of the 3rd stage with those shield smashing enemies and then exiting and re-entering the game, restarting the stage with that sub weapon. Unfortunately, every single episode has a preset list of items, so in one episode (iirc) that alternate path's item is a WP boost, in others it is a Heart, and in Solo (at least with Miriam, but presumably others) it's just a 1-up. I assume this is because solo modes are hard coded to only have one power up per stage and the power up for 3 is the HP boost on the main path. Also unfortunately, you lose your sub weapons on stage select, so not only is there the hard limit on power ups but you also can't backtrack to stage 2 and go left at the start to get the heart (even if it would be more trouble than it's worth and isn't possible because there's only 1 powerup per stage.) 29:18 I'm pretty sure everyone except Zangetsu can get it easily. IIRC the ledge required a high jump (for Dominique, Miriam, and ofc Gebel), but there might have been some extra ground that Hachi could hover from, Robert can just wall jump off the other side, and I'm pretty sure (but not certain) Alfred can use Soul Vision to reach it, even if he falls off the edge. Theoretically Zangetsu can damage boost while falling from the right side, but it would be very precise and cost a lot of time every attempt (same goes for Hachi if he can't hover to it).

1:26:51 You continue to teach us new things about this game!

I love how every recording I've seen of this section absolutely DESTROYS the bitrate.

good

Ough... the diamonds. It's 23 again. She fires 23 diamonds before changing the background. That damn number keeps appearing...!

modded

can't believe they pulled out BoWaP for an attack

Ah my favourite character. He is one of the bests

Well since I just beat all 7 solo modes I may as well make a tier list based on my playthroughs on CASUAL difficulty (I wish Veteran mode had the same checkpoints and zero lives, Casual is a bit too easy but Veteran….it’s not that it’s TOO hard, but the punishment for mistakes costs too much time in the long run, oh well)….on Veteran and harder difficulty, this tier list might look different, but here goes S tier: Hachi followed by Gebel Hachi is the king, invincibility plus high attack, plus ground pound, plus hovering makes using him easy mode, straight up….I didn’t die once, or ever really come close Second, Gebel is really good solo too. He has the best overall basic attack coverage AND dps, and his bat transformation allows for easy traversal plus a reasonable way to restore health….again, I didn’t die once, but came kinda close against Gremory… A tier: Dominique Boring character, her offensive sub weapons have their use, even pole vault, but it’s really hard to beat the ability to spawn in hearts….her high jump caused me to die a couple times, and I nearly lost to Abaddon due to thrown HP seeds not being able to touch solid ground in the second phase…don’t underestimate her pogo spear ability against Abaddon in the first phase B tier: Miriam Miriam is really powerful, again the high jump can cause more trouble than it’s worth sometimes, and she’s one of two characters who miss important stat upgrades, the armor being the worst. Aside from the armor, there’s a heart upgrade she can’t get. She has great coverage when needed and the axe DESTROYS….she might still deserve A tier placement, but not being able to pick up an HP upgrade and the armor really make her squishy in the final 2 levels, plus the axe don’t work as good as you’d want it to against Abaddon C tier: Robert followed by Alfred Both characters are surprisingly good solo, like, really good considering they were made for support. They’re both similar in being super duper strong in some areas and being really weak in a few. Alfred goes below Robert for having such a hard time against Abaddon…haha I used Wind, and it is by far the best spell in that fight, but when that’s your best option it makes for an uphill battle. Robert on the other hand can nuke Gremory AND Abaddon with the bullet scarf. Alfred’s Fire and Ice are Alfred’s best friends, to the point to where the only time I wish I had Lightning was against Abaddon, only so I didn’t have to use Wind, and Wind was nice in that fight. Ice SUCKS against bosses, but makes places with large enemies a win button lol D tier: Zangetsu Big surprise….Zangetsu is the worst character in this mode specifically. You can’t use Ultimate Zangetsu, or ANY of his additional abilities. He can’t access a SINGLE UPGRADE EITHER, which really really hurts. It makes him nearly as squishy as Alfred by the time you factor in Zangetsu’s lack of the Attack up Gauntlet and Defense up Armor upgrade items, along with the lack of any HP upgrades…..Zangetsu has really mid sub weapons along with zero upgrades to MP, so against tougher bosses, the chain or fire tag won’t do very well, leaving his rage sub-weapon to be his only decent option. You better learn enemy and boss patterns down pat in order to beat this game with normal Zangetsu. Traversing each stage actually isn’t bad most the time, advanced enemies and bosses are Zangetsu’s biggest walls. The fire tag and chain are both good, equal-yet-opposite coverage options for clearing out fodder, just not great in tougher battles, and BAD in tough boss battles. His poor basic attack range don’t help anything haha…. Bottom line, there’s zero cheese of any kind with him. Worst solo mode character….NOTE: again, I’m personally basing everything off Casual difficulty, but in the case of normal Zangetsu, I doubt difficulty is going to matter

Lol I can’t imagine doing single character mode with basically ANYONE on Veteran mode….I was able to beat and unlock everything in Boss Rush, and that’s about the hardest thing I’m gonna even attempt. It took really REALLY careful use of every single item and heart

Until you have to fight Gremory and Abaddon, Robert is worse than Alfred….Fire and Ice are so busted getting through levels, but ugh, when Wind is your best option against Abaddon, it’s about a complete wall for me…luckily Fire works well against Gremory, but damn I can’t beat Abaddon to save my life I had Alfred being worse than Robert, but the Gremory and Abaddon boss fights alone are making me rethink my placements

Ugh, Alfred should be able to use Lightning for the abbadon fight at the very least….after all, if your going to be stuck with a crappy character, u should at least get access to all his attacks….yeah, fire and wind spells are powerful when fully understood, but his damage is still SO BAD lol Gebel might be my favorite solo character. Lol it’s hard to beat being able to fly and leech health back from enemies and bosses. His normal attack is really versatile too Zangetsu kinda sucks…but Ultimate Zangetsu is really nice with insane damage, double jumps and cheap yet effective attack items Dominique and Miriam….I find their extra high jump a bad thing as often as I find it a good thing…I guess that’s more of a “me” thing than anything haha….Dominique can heal herself, which is always nice, but her attack items aren’t nearly as good as Miriam’s. I definitely prefer Miriam as a solo character, but Dominique isn’t terrible by herself Hachi is always super solid, hard to beat being able to hover, walk on spikes, stomp enemies below, and that invincibility item….possibly the easiest solo character right with U. Zangetsu and Gebel Lastly Robert……his low health and low DPS really can hurt. He can attack from a safe distance, but really struggles in some areas without the right attack item. Everyone points at Alfred, but really Robert might be the worst solo character….like Alfred, he’s great support, but bad by himself

How many hours did you spend on this game to get so good at it???

Dude I've dumped like 45-50 hours into this game and I can't make it past the big 3 - - Tundra, Galaxy Mage, and Council. I am beyond frustrated-- to the point that I deleted my save files and debated deleting the game -- I want to beat it though.... man you make it look easy.

damn. I didn't know there were golden tokens. Luckily I stopped watching before seeing you unlock one. Looks like I have a long journey to go on. Thank you for your inspiration.

Why did you fight Kaern? Isn't he an optional boss?

Is that supposed to be Green Orange/Despair from Zeroranger?

My favourite boss in this game by design. Never fought him and never will, but i love the look of the arena, the boss and it has the best track in the game full of great music

The attack speed is what i like about this class, everything else feels too slow

Assassin was actually my first class that reached the ending. The burst damage is high. I used phoenix blades, their mote crash down is insane. Roll and stab attacks are good. You need to spam your skills, blitz strike does a lot of damage and inflicts bleed if one other skill is on cooldown. Gouge is great since it immobilizes the target, except most bosses are immune to it and you start to wonder what was the dev team smoking when they made this game, because there are so many issues like this. First skill is great if you have a talent that makes an afterimage that repeats the attack. Basically, the idea is stun with gouge, then use assassinate and its afterimage for damage and then use blitz strike for bleed and finish. With an upgrade your roll attacks prolong bleed by 3 sec, keep spamming roll attacks on a bleeding enemy Then again, for some reason this is the hardest "soulsvania" i've played, so what do i know

You said Dominique can tornado herself. How does that work?

Oh. I remember you from your Death's Gambit s perfect runs! This will help me a lot with Hardboiled trophy. Thanks! Might as well subscribe too! :)

54:12 I've never seen that (the lava being frozen and broken), color me surprised. Reminds me of Mega Man 8

Very impressive gameplay.

came here after trying to solo alfred and dying over and over to second boss

does the pause stop time? or does it count as actual time in game?

Hey whered u get the dark empowerment sigil

How do you used the cauterizing sabre? You need 30 Str but you only have 4.sorry for my english.

Interesting choice to use Flame Wheel instead of Soul Vision on boss 2. I always use Soul Vision due to it being safer for the first half from a pure DPS perspective. You don't have to get close to hit her and risk getting hit yourself, the clone will take all of the projectiles for you, and it's easier to spam due to the low cost. Regardless of sub choice the fight's over as soon as she slams down at half health, so I prefer the option that best meets that win condition.

If you ever see this... Since you've finished all of the characters, how would you go about ranking them for solo runs? If I had to guess based on descriptions and gameplay it would go something like: A Tier: Dominique Miriam Hachi B Tier: Gebel C Tier: Robert D Tier: Zangetsu Alfred

Angry man with a gun decimates demon army

Thanks. You pointed out some things I needed to do in order to get the Perfect Run trophy. Very well played and thanks. :)
