Touhou 8 ~ Imperishable Night - Stage 4A Lunatic Perfect (Magic)

After a pretty long hiatus, it is finally done. One less reason to ever return to Demon Binding Ring. I'd compare this boss to Aya in that it's pretty hard throughout and a lot of the reasons attacks are difficult are for different reasons. I had days where I could malice well and get DBR but I wasn't that good at actual dodging so Fader suffered, or I'd just mess up Marred or the first spell a few times in a row. There's very few areas you can autopilot which made it pretty difficult, to say nothing of the particular spell at the end of it. Honestly, I'd rank this as the third hardest stage I have yet LNN'd behind SA stage 5 and MoF stage 4. Something about this stage was just... hard. And Blink itself is no joke. It's not super insane or even comparable in difficulty to things like Cat's Walk or PWG by any stretch, but the amount of time it takes to learn it will fool you into thinking that. I could write a full guide on the things I learned playing Blink, it's a really fascinating spell but man was it a trial to be put right at the end.
