These low-spec trials are oddly satisfying. I know this particular mission isn't urgent or a big deal, but it was still fun.

This takes a bit of luck, but not to the point where this strategy doesn't work consistently. You can see I lucked out twice in the video when Snow survives a couple of Feeding Stoops he probably shouldn't have, but I show how to survive them rather easily in a general sense.

In retrospect, a Rainbow Anklet (Daze protection) should be a better choice for Snow over the Metal Armband, because Deprotect is easier to remedy, but both Daze and Deprotect are extremely dangerous. Of course, I could also have used a fully upgraded General's Belt instead of a Lv 1 Black Belt, which would have made things easier for me, but the point was to push things as low as they could go.

The rest should be pretty self-explanatory.
