Games Progress
Drakengard 2: I decided to do one or two Free Expeditions to earn some money so I could buy more healing items. Angelus is a tough fight, and it doesn't help that her hitboxes seem inconsistent if I try to shoot her. Her attacks also tend to hurt, with her tail attack being the nastiest in terms of damage (though it's easy to dodge). As it turns out, the best strategy is to press Triangle so I'm locked onto her location at all times, then attack her with regular fireballs (deals 100 damage per shot) and use either the white magic or the yellow one for additional damage (the latter one deals at least 300 damage and doesn't require me to get up close like the red magic or isn't outright useless like the blue magic. The purple magic is useful, but the barrier it creates only lasts a few seconds and is only really useful for protecting against Angelus's dash attack)
Once she's finally killed, Angelus's body ignites and Caim walks into the flames. Personally I think this should've been Ending A and that the remaining chapters would be used for different ending paths like in Drakengard. Additionally, I've noticed that once you fight Caim, the game's writing seems to fall apart (e.g Nowe asking questions he should already know the answers to or how some of the dialogue would've been better used for a different context.)
Chapter 10 begins, but because I spent several hours trying to take down trying to take down Angelus, I decided to call it quits for the night.
