By Frith himself laddies, we've finally done it! Every Extra stage in the Windows Touhou games cleared, holy moly!

Anyway, this one was a doozie, for lack of a better term. Needing to graze constantly for lives is the real killer in this Extra stage, though the thing is pretty fucking insane from beginning to end.

The stage portion is all about knowing where to graze and when to take it easy and kill everything in sight. If you have a solid understanding of where you can farm for life pieces and where it's safer and easier to quickly manage threats, you should be fine.

Doremy is kinda tough. It's not worth grazing on the first Spell Card in my opinion, as the hitboxes are much bigger than they were in PCB and too many runs have I died there when she started aiming them in different directions. If you just take her down as soon as possible, then her opener becomes quite easy. Second Spell Card is fairly tough however, especially if you're going for graze like I did. I recommend holding your fire for the first two waves if you're going for the life piece there because it'll give you more time to graze for the life piece requirement. Finally, you really want to learn to capture her (tricky but manageable) final attack because otherwise you won't get a life piece dropped, but a bomb instead. Reset if you don't capture it.

Moving on, Hecatia & Junko make for a terrifying combination. The entire fight is riddled with absurdly strong attacks, both non-spells and Spell Cards alike. For the very few maneuvers that aren't too bad, there's more that want to wipe your face on the floor. This is where all of your resources are going to go during the Extra stage, so practice their fight tons and come to terms with dodging under stressful situations. Only then will you be able to clutch the victory.

...FUCK that was hard!
