Malaclypse’s Quest are goddamn impossible
sure, you got 4 chances, but the precision gambit involves at least 4 Huge Failure bars (one of which basically moves with the itty bitty tiny gold bar), and the aforementioned tiny gold bar, a huge success that moves very fast.
So far, I have press the select button right when the beam was on top of it, twice I heard the cling of the gold bar the moment I pressed it, only for it to suddenly moves out of the way and goes to failure. Twice in a row
Sure, you can tip the odds in your favor, but the bullseye ring that supposedly “widen the beam” doesn’t do anything, the helm that slows down the pendulum doesn’t do anything at all
and that is assuming you somehow got them all before you were forced to the encounter to begin with...
it doesn’t help that when you fail the precision gambit, the narrator always gets chatty in the most annoying way possible
