Many (many [many]) chokes later, and I finally got it =)
Also... we don't talk about how sketchy several of the rooms in the final zone were :^)

Challenges from the fifth and final column of the REDUX tab. Contains challenges done during the first playthrough, and done afterwards.
Overall the most fun I had with the pack - limited long tedious levels, or levels with an annoyingly long intro cutscene, which was my main gripe with the worst offenders prior to this one.

SPOILERS - THE GAME IS AMAZING AND WORTH EXPERIENCING YOURSELF
Found myself in a challenging area early, and decided to full clear it.
Keys can be collected in any order, but they are ordered in the video based on which I found first.
(Key 01 was the hardest key...)

If you see yourself across the maps, please comment with the timestamps - everyones characters scattered across the maps became something Id look forward to seeing as I played, and a point of reference even for some jumps (until they moved, in one notable instance).
By far the longest Ive spent on an individual challenge in a game. Passing the Exam took me 67 hours of play since late Jan 2025 (plus some time attempting it before giving up in Feb 2023).
I had originally put off going for Legend because I didnt think I could make the time investment required. With two kids, and a bunch of other demands on my free time, I couldnt really accept using my limited gaming time on just one task.
In mid-January though, I realised how much time I could carve out for myself if I set my mind for it. I set requirements to myself:
• If I dont have at least 30 mins of guaranteed time, dont play the game.
• No playing more than 2 hours at a time; dont want burn out.
• Make sure Im doing something productive in parallel, to make up for the time being used.
I decided to listen to something in Japanese as my productivity in parallel. I tried listening to Japanese news, but got tired of hearing about American politics. I found YUYUの日本語Podcast [https://www.youtube.com/@yuyunihongopodcast], which has been great - thank you for the many hours of background listening.
Even though I know Im one of the slower clearers (276h total) compared to many of the talented people in CE, Im incredibly proud of sticking to the schedule I set out, and for seeing it through.
Gush complete. Just on top of the world atm.")
