I Want To Give Them To Red. He Deserves Them. I Want To Believe That One From Beyond The Grave Can Still Feel Love, Even As Such Emotions Elude Me. But I Cannot. I Have Nearly Fallen Victim To An Endless Cycle Of Torture. One That I Can Only Escape... By Denying Him That Which He Most Longs For. And In Doing So, I Seal My Fate. I Know Now That I Can Never Recover My Humanity. I Am Sorry, Red.

Sorry to intrude on my plotting like this, but I need to make my frustrations known. I've used the 4x size code in every mode so far, and have managed to succeed even with the unintended hitbox issues that result. Yacht Club did a good job keeping this code from making the game unwinnable. ...until now. There is a Red sequence that you cannot complete with this code. 100% is impossible.

It involves the Judgement Rush. This was a good idea, making minilevels that force the player to see how the curios work. And this is a neat curio, creating a teleport slash that can be used for offense or emergency recovery. The stage is even neatly set up for it, with stationary enemies behind walls that you must warp to in turn. ...in hindsight, it's TOO well structured.

Warping to the second enemy causes a slash that also kills the third enemy. The one you must warp to if you want to escape. I have tried everything. Changing the angle, changing the distance, trying to stop the slash early, trying to trick the game into putting Specter on the right. None of it works. Specter is trapped and cannot leave. He can only jump in lava and repeat.

Normally in gameplay, you would use your range or another curio to create an alternate solution. You cannot here. The room is cursed so that only your current curio can be used. The only way to end the cycle is to quit to the title screen. And never buy this curio from Red. ...thus cutting you off from the many rewards you get for giving him all the skulls. The dialogue. The dance. The Donovan.

I like using these codes. I like the effort put into making sure the game still functions properly. ...I don't want to complain about this, but I must. I'd like this to be fixed or prevented in the future. And now my giant Specter Knight is sad... (I admit, this is not the first time Judgment has caused such a dangerous conflict between normal-sized and giant-sized grim reapers...) ----
