I mentioned in a previous post that I’ve been playing Imperishable Night a lot, which has been true for probably a year now or longer. I thought it would be fun to put up a short video showing off how to beat two of the Last Word Spells, Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana (221) and Emperor of the East (208). The Last Words are additional boss attacks that you unlock for various accomplishments in the game. In the video I used the Forbidden Team for beating both of them, because currently that’s my favorite team to play. But using them can be challenging, especially on 208. The reason is that Marisa and Alice are both the fastest and the most powerful team in the game. However, their huge disadvantage compared to all the other teams is that they can only fire straight-forward, with minimal spread in their attack. So you have to be right under a boss to be hitting them, which is what makes 208 difficult with this team.

You’ll also see me sometimes quickly switching between Marisa and Alice. This is not by accident. By doing this you get the effect of having Alice’s beam stay active and Marisa’s bullets—the so-called ‘Malice Cannon’. It’s a very useful trick getting through the game with that team, as you can use it to beat some bosses very, very quickly.

Anyways, enjoy the 11MB video.
