Yukishiro Qalu Learns to Parry, Then Clears the Boss Rush in Her Dandelion Game
After repeated losses to a baby and a black cat, the Mixstgirls streamer beat all three bosses on a single health bar.
MIXSTGIRLS — Yukishiro Qalu of Mixstgirls cleared the boss rush in a dandelion-growing game on Thursday evening, at about 1 hour 54 minutes into a stream of just over two hours. The mode asks players to endure a baby, a black cat and a man she called “ojisan” back to back, with damage carrying over from one fight to the next.
She opened by sorting out her sound, lowering the volume after a loud start, and began the game a few minutes later. Early on she collected carbon dioxide, water and light for the dandelion, read out the game’s botanical trivia, and put her skill choices to chat, which split almost evenly between two options. The core mechanic, holding a button to endure and timing it to parry an attack, gave her trouble from the first fight. The baby, who threw pacifiers, beat her repeatedly, and she joked that the child’s parent was to blame.
“Nobody can say I have no sense of rhythm anymore. Both the dandelion and Qalu can endure.” — Yukishiro Qalu, after the boss rush clear
She switched between timing by sight and timing by sound before finishing the baby fight, then declared it done: “At last I was able to endure.” The dandelion’s seeds drifted away, and later chapters, including a black cat on a railway line and a bubble-blowing man who had helped raise the plant, carried the story through ten years to its ending. Her connection briefly dropped out around the 53-minute mark, and she reported her line speed at 1.3 Gbps when it returned.
The boss rush took her about 37 minutes, with several losses to the cat and the man along the way. She said the cat was the hardest, and that the man’s attacks were easier once she found his rhythm. When the clear came, she said she had grown during the fight, a point she repeated to chat.
She then read the nine Super Chats, announced a 7 a.m. walking stream for the next morning, and closed by saying she felt she could endure anything now, even ten years on. Chat answered the clear with congratulations and praise for her parrying and the call she makes when she endures.
