Amemochi Nina Sees a Dragon Vanish in Seventh Ghosts ‘n Goblins Run, No Clear Yet

VARIUM — Amemochi Nina, a Varium talent, ended the seventh stream of her Ghosts ‘n Goblins playthrough on Thursday without a clear, but she closed the session with a new find: a dragon boss that disappeared from the screen in the last stretch of play. She called it a major discovery and said she would try to reproduce it next time.

The stream ran more than six hours. Nina spent it on the final stage, which she said has taken more than 12 hours in total, and which she described as long, wide and harder than any other. She put her overall time on the game at around 30 hours. The fight she kept returning to was a timed one against a dragon, with a limit of roughly a minute or two to get through each boss, and she said she had beaten one boss during the session.

Most of the day went to the run-up to those fights, where she repeatedly lost time and armor to an enemy that kept appearing at bad moments and to the dragon’s beam attacks. She said the dragon seemed to change its behavior as the stream went on. Partway through, she tried a different controller, struggled with the controls, and went back to her usual Joy-Con setup, saying the other pad made her inputs feel slow.

Late in the stream, near the four-hour mark, the dragon vanished during a fight. She said she had no idea how it happened and that she wanted to go back through the archive to work out the steps. She then concluded that the dragon did not need to be killed in order to move on.

Nina said she was pleased to be reaching the bosses more often than in the previous session, and that the episode would carry over to an eighth. The stream also included a batch of 50 membership gifts, which she thanked the sender for at length. She told viewers she planned a quiet evening with a meal of udon.
