Second Nightmare encounter. Pretty much repeating the same issues I had in the first fight, I'll reiterate here that it's a good idea to only punish its cores with Ifrit charged punches, as iirc the sword's faster attack rate ends up breaking the cores faster and you'll end up with a full red core Nightmare3 fight. Looking back at this I'm not sure why I even used Alastor in this fight, I purchased Ifrit's Rolling Blaze to easily counter its attack at 4:16, but it could've also easily punished the spike attacks it does frequently. I guess I just got comfortable with activating the wall panels with it, so I continued to cycle between it and Ifrit. Probably just me being an actual idiot, as usual. lol
