Touhou 8 - Imperishable Night - Perfect Stage 5 - Lunatic

A video of me fighting through stage 5 and its boss: the Mad Moon Rabbit, Reisen Udongein Inaba, without dying or bombing.
Help with difficult attacks:
GENERAL:
Boss's movements are manipulable, stay on their left to move them left and on their right to move them right.
TEWI:
For her 1st nonspell I prefer to enter the pattern from one of the further back waves in the "steps" of the and then stay still. Some people prefer to go far off centre and dodge from there but I found this to be more difficult. For the lines of red/blue circles, the from bullet is aimed at you so use that to your advantage. Sidestep left for the reds and right for the blues. Second nonspell is easy, just position yourself so the graze circle is only just not touching the bottom and dodge horizontally. It seems this takes longer to defeat if you deal any damage whatsoever to the familiars for some reason O_o.
LUNATIC GAZE "ILLUSION SEEKER":
Practice is key here. The more you practice, the better you'll be able to see the bullets during the red eye effect and the easier it becomes to predict where a safespot will open up. I'm terrible at this by the way.
INDOLENCE "MIND STOPPER":
The general method should be obvious here. However, some people prefer to alternate where they dodge at the bottom while others prefer to always do one side. I'm the latter type but it's worth getting used to both sides in case the one side you're good at dodging on becomes dangerous. You should also practice unfocusing at times to get to the centre faster so the aimed bullets spread out less.
LUNAR EYES "TELE-MESMERISM (REMOTE RABBIT)":
Actually quite easy once you get the hang of a specific strategy. Reisen's hitbox seems to be slightly smaller here, to the point that Yukari can't hit with all 3 streams of her shot, so stay off centre if you're using her. Start at the bottom of the screen and off centre to the right. Have your hitbox above the "m" of "Enemy". This forces Reisen right so move right as the red eyes effect occurs and move slightly up so you don't get hit. Again, stay on her right. During the second red eyes effect, move up to about halfway and dodge as best you can when the effect stops. Maximise damage if you can but survival obviously takes priority. During the third red eyes effect, move up above half way up and dodge the reds spawned from the right when the effect wears off. Finally, during the fourth red eyes effect, finish Reisen off and capture the spell. The hard part is the third spell. If you're struggling to understand this wall of text, then just roughly copy what I did in the video.

“You have remained long enough in this filthy world.” What a fucking epic stage opening. The piano is godly.

[@Mrdreamleaf]

Reisens Mind Stopper Spellcard is causing me tons of grief and is one of the few spellcards in the game (aside from the Last Word ones) that I still haven't been able to capture even once.

[@circle3565]

Funny story, it took me 100 ish attempts to capture Lunatic Red Eyes and 149 attempts to capture Mind Stopper on HARD mode I'm not skilled enough to even make it past the 2nd wave of bullets on Lunatic

[@КрисВерхотурова-ж1б]

Amazing play. I barely can beat her at easy mode xD

[@futakuchi-onna3412]

Well i use all my continue on her on easy modo So hi comrade

EH!? EASY MODO!?

[@КрисВерхотурова-ж1б]

@@envyreanilarsa I managed to beat this game without continues only once so far... so yep I met her

[@korega1140]

I defeated every boss in easy mode without continues

[@circle3565]

Whenever I practise Reisen as Reimu/Yukari, I always make sure to pick the A ending dialogue because there Reimu threatens to shoot off the rest of Reisen's clothes for being annoying

Tewi's bullet pattern is prettier than Junko's. Let that sink in.

[@Optimizer13]

Junko's pattern is too... pure.

[@HouraisanKaguya]

Well, let's be real here. Even if Tewi is the boke of a 4koma series, she's one of the most ancient and legendary beings in Touhou. Her power is surely nothing to sneeze at.

[@oscheoroset1298]

Tewi is in fact one of the oldest living beings of Gensokyo, and Junko's pattern is more about homicide and killing than performing, so it makes sense that Tewi's is more beautiful than Junko's.

[@circle3565]

Anyone notice that it's very similar to her charged shot in PoFV? Her Chasing Two Rabbits attack follows that same pattern except it only reaches near her

[@freezerburning]

3 years late but junkos spellcards have no beauty or life in them, they are made with the pure (lol) intent to Kill and nothing more

[@blue_the_boy_kisser]

the netherworld team makes the first fairy hilariously easy to deal with

[@babel_UV]

HOW

[@xR1n02]

This is hard

[@Rabbotic]

It's funny how one of the most loli-like character is one, if not the most, old ones on Gensokyou. Btw, is Reisen the first short skirted character of ZUN?
