Lux Phantasma -Hard

[Nuggeto]

Did anyone actually complete it? Because if so, you are nuts. I can't get past the start.

[Lintaur]

I got about a minute into it. I feel there's hard and then there's unreasonably hard and this is the second

[luka_zero]

I was wondering that same question. My brain can not keep up. Each attempt nets me a tiny bit more though.

[Nuggeto]

Good luck, Luka. I'll keep trying for a few days too, but I'm not very hopeful.

I tried one that costs 3 boosters and lol no, I'm not doing that. There should also be the next one that rewards golden token and its apparently even harder. No idea what they even thinking.

They were thinking "let's make a challenge stage for people to beat if they want".
I've been seeing a lot of complaining about the challenge stage (mainly in the feedback thread), including people mistakenly thinking that there are gems locked behind it when there aren't, and people not realising you can turn off the note and voice SFX in the game mode.
For me, it took about 5 hours of attempting the stage across multiple days to finally clear it. And all I got for that was a badge saying I did, and more importantly, the satisfaction and excitement that came from finally clearing it.
So yeah, it's pretty hard, but I liked the challenge. If people don't, they don't have to do it. There's nothing actually important about having that gold badge or not.

The first hard stage, yes. The one after it with the medal rewards, no.

I still haven't managed to beat it yet, but if you have a friend or someone you know, I came up with the idea of asking them to be the left hand while I am the right. Makes it 50% less ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, but it still is absolutely insanely hard. I have no idea why the level of difficulty became snort-three-lines-of-crack-and-drink-a-shelf-of-Redbulls tier for a badge.... But here we are, so best of luck

For the hard stage it depends for mainly on the track that plays as some are a bit easier then others in the hard stage but then again you don´t get more metafilm for completing the hard stage so i stick to completing the normal stages as i have already earned all the major point rewards and the rest is only Kana and TP that i earn much quicker by chest hunting and daily missions.

Tried the last stage a couple of times but at some point the number of notes with switch and all gets to much for me so i only mess everything up and fail in the end. And as the reward is just a measy badge i see no real purpose in trying it further as it´s just for bragging rights.

In the end let´s hope that the devs for such events just stick to badge rewards as bragging rights and never put Gacha currency or anything else behind it what can give the feel of an impossible to reach reward.

I failed all hard tracks.. except 1, so i was basically quitting until i got one that was playable.. let's not talk about the boss stage.. that came out on 1st april, it really felt like an april's fooling. Sad they didn't make it easier..

99% of the people will probably be unable to obtain that medal, tho it's really just the medal that has no other purpose then showing off, that you are missing out on.

Thanks. I've tired a few more times and my eyes started to hurt. If there was a better reward then just a medal, then I would try a lot more. I've played games like Guitar hero and this seems to be up there with those insane tracks that I couldn't beat on expert.

[kirbo]

If you mean the boss stage, nope. i get at most to around 1:10, i cannot pass the part that comes after
ive tried these past days but I may just give up on it, i dont like the badge design anyways

[rakija]

The boss stage was probably meant to target hardcore rhythm game players TT

It gets easier if you practice with a full clear video in slow-mo, that's how I got mine after roughly two hours of pain.
The toughest part is the one right in the middle of the track with blue lines that suddenly go offbeat and are hard to adapt to, the last difficult part is actually really simple once you figure it out.
Also, I killed the volume for anything that isn't the music, and made hitsounds very quiet to still have some feedback. The song is badly mastered and its channels are tough to discern.

I think what me mainly throws also off is the weird decision to use different "note variants" instead of sticking to the spark thingies they throw the shoe-rats; flying drones and rockets into the tracks and if all different variants come in close to each other it just gets insanely confusing for me and as in most rhythm games if at least 1 slip-up happens it´s a chain reaction of fails you can hardly recover from.

I don't really care about any of that. I'm older dude with-8 eyesight, developing carpal syndrome and not particularly good reaction. This is why I stopped doing raiding in mmorpg and started playing gachas.

I'm not going to do this shi*t simply because i can't. But I also will consider this as the game developers discriminating against me because nowhere in this game descriptions it says I should be good at ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rhythm games and have health condition of teenager to have all the rewards (and yes I'm perfectionist so I consider small tokens as rewards too).

But then again I already stopped whaling in this game so whatever. If they don't need my money, they wont receive any.
