Touhou 08 - Imperishable Night Extra Stage Clear

[@CarinaHellebore]

Congratulations. This is the most viewed Touhou video that actually shows the game.

[@CarinaHellebore]

i want die The OST is just the music, I mean a video that shows actual gameplay.

[@janmarcoperezbatres2203]

It still is years later.

[@solar901]

It's still the most viewed in 2021.

[@batotskie3744]

This is why im here lol

[@hoppefrosk]

I love how new people are still finding this video and commenting on how impossible it looks, despite this being arguably the easiest extra stage in the series.

[@Gamesmarts194]

Really? I find MoF's extra easier than this. (Unless basing it off of how far you got is an unfair basis.)

[@hoppefrosk]

Gamesmarts194 I've beaten both, but IN's extra has more spellcards that I just consider guaranteed captures, like Flaw of Forgiving Shrine, Honest Man's Death and Xu Fu's Dimension.

[@hoppefrosk]

masterhacket213 Well, the overdrive spells are a lot harder than their original versions, so that wouldn't really be an indication of how hard the stage itself is. I've yet to beat that extra stage however, so I won't comment on how hard it is, apart from saying it is harder than the PCB, IN and MoF extras.

[@hoppefrosk]

masterhacket213 A lot of the trouble comes from playing consistently and avoiding small mistakes. So a long fight leaves a lot of opportunities to mess up, while capturing one spell just takes at most 90 seconds of concentration and decent play. To give an example I've captured every spell in spell practice in IN save stage 6b lunatic and two last words. but I've yet to beat stage 5 lunatic without a continue and reach Kaguya on Lunatic to unlock her spells. If I was playing at my best all the time that wouldn't be a problem, but that just isn't how it works.

[@hoppefrosk]

masterhacket213 Just to let you know, Ten Desires is considered one of, if not THE easiest game to beat on Lunatic due to the trance system and the overall difficulty. Don't think you can jump straight into other Lunatic modes just because you can beat TD on Lunatic, because even I've done that, and I generally play on Hard.

[@Fun4uitstrue]

Rest of the world: Final boss complete! Japan: Tutorial complete!

[@fcnth]

Fun4uitstrue Overused joke is overused. Besides, these games are based on memorizing patterns more than anything else.

[@icy_dew370]

+Fun4uitstrue actually it's the other way around they are happy they beat the game we are happy we beat the tutorial.

[@judd0453]

8 years too late, but this joke doesn't work because this is the final boss. This is the secret boss you only unlock after beating the game without getting a single game over.

[@user-tf3el9mr1c]

Hey Dracil, no idea if you're actually here anymore or not, but I'd like to thank you for uploading this video. I watched this when I was very young, and it fucking blew my mind. I just couldn't believe someone could play a game like this, or that a game like this even existed. Since I watched this video, I've been an ongoing fan of the Touhou series for years now. My life literally wouldn't be the same without it. Thanks, dude.

[@meetingmyomens]

I am literally the exact. Same. Way.

[@astrologicalpanda6876]

TouHou: it's like standing in the rain... Without getting wet.. :I

Exactly

Touhou: High density. (but slow bullets) Seihou: High speed. (but low density) DoDonPachi: BOTH.

[@borealis1255]

now this is a certified hood classic

[@shreemandpe]

Ever since I started playing touhou, I don't get wet, no matter how hard it rains. .....

[@lizardduck123456789]

For those wondering, you'll be surprised how easy it is to slip between the gaps of each bullet because of the 1pixel hit box your character has. You're practically able to touch the bullets and still live as long as the centre of your character does not get hit.

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

yeah

[@cirnotheicefairy6673]

You guys think this is hard? You'd never clear an extra stage if I were the boss

[@BM309K58SMERCH]

First 東方 video I've ever watched, and I've been a longtime fan of the games ever since. Thank you for uploading this, Dracil!

Can't tell if this is a game you beat based on memory of the laser patters, or just crazy reflexes.

[@drayenomg]

Just came back to check on this video. Literally the video that got me into touhou 14 years ago. I still play every new game today, although I'm not as hardcore about it as I used to be.

[@ritfull-lives2406]

lets do the math here... lets see... it's like... T= g( ss^2 + 28C)^2 T=Touhou 08 C= 1 milligram of Caffeine g= Galaga ss=Super saiyan

[@Kasamori]

Damn, that's some (Super Saiyan)^4 level shit

[@viizionz624]

When you find a video from 2006.

[@krompy3453]

>looks at the comments >mfw this is the easiest EX boss of the series

[@kunqian4882]

If you should know the extra boss of the latest touhou 15...

[@krompy3453]

Hectatia is pretty easy but the stage is a deathwish

[@HouraisanKaguya]

By no means the easiest. In fact Mokou is one of the harder EX bosses. I have experience with every EX boss except Hecatia so I think I can say this pretty confidently. Here's a list of EX bosses easier than Mokou: Flandre, Ran, Suwako, Nue, Mamizou, and Okina. And the harder ones... Yukari, Koishi, Raiko... and I don't know where to place Hecatia since I haven't played her stage. Of course, difficulty is fairly subjective so you might still disagree with me if you've played all the stages too.

[@annaairahala9462]

I also find Mokou one of the easiest in the series. The only ones I'd rate as among the easier ones would be Ran, Suwako, and Okina. It does really come down to the person though as difficulty is partially subjective.

[@LinieEber]

Suwako is easy especially with MarisaB °3°

[@matteste]

The video that introduced me to Touhou.

[@groundg8397]

Just watching this made me feel like i was in a fever dream.

[@BierBart12]

A beautiful, deadly fever dream.

[@AtsukoS-Official]

Its funny cause this is one of the easier extra stages

[@jonny2005450]

I really don't even know why I like Touhou... The music? The challenge? The characters? All three? I think it's because of the world Zun's created. He's made such a fantasy wonderland that's so malleable yet canonically whimsical it's unbelievably hard not to get enamored with it. That magnificent bastard, him!

[@-krampcer-9179]

Heard of the music of TouHou never seen the game and this looks intense and impossible.

[@HellaIrishLad]

It's not impossible, just really, really difficult and takes a lot of practice to win. Not the best game to play if you're prone to strobe induced seizures though...

[@Rafael57YT]

The game itself isn't difficult, you can choose between 4 difficulty levels, you play based on what's challenging to you, you're not forced to start playing with the hardest difficulty!

[@TheGoomba98]

Touhou*

[@dokjr6898]

Well my brain just essploded. I counted at least 50 times where I would have died had I been the one playing... Not died in the game, but died in real life due to a stress-induced heart attack.

[@marcuswong730]

This is damn impressive. I've never, in all my attempts, been able to get passed Possessed by a Phoenix. I've only gotten to it a few times, but by then I'm out of extra lives.

I don't understand what masochist would put themselves through this learning patterns...or even finishing the game.

[@turkia6148]

Fumos have existed for over a decade, the fanbase has barely changed, and you probably couldn't have known about Touhou 17 years ago. (And most fan do play the games, it's just a fandom joke)

and this is all made by one guy....

[@ianh97]

It's really fun. Something about it is just really fun. Challenging, but really replayable. And the music is enjoyable. You characters arms/legs/head and what not can be touched by the bombs or whatever those things are, but you'll lose health if you're touched in the middle of your body.

Okay, coming back to this after learning more about the games and their mechanics, these patterns seem infinitely simpler, to the point where I could likely do them. Although I shouldn't get cocky, precise movements on a keyboard? Don't make me laugh.
