there are games that provide challenges that take every tiny bit of skill you got. Challenges that push you to the limit. Challenges that make you feel standing eye to eye, with the beast that hides in the darkness.

My Plague was the 5th Colossus in SotC in Hard Time Attack Mode. It was so terribly hard to beat the 3rd or the 6th but fighting the 5th was like chasing after a cab without legs. You just CAN'T win. What made it worse, was that i had every fuckig thing you could get in that game. Maxed out Stats, all Items, climbed the Secret Garden, Normal Time Attack beaten, beaten every Colossi on Hard Time Attack. I tried it thousand times. Watched youtube videos where the use shortcuts. Spent nights filled up with desperation and pain but there was no sense in trying and struggeling. The funny thing is that Phaedra itself is not dangerous at all. Her attacks are weak, easy to dodge and will never give you any problems of fought her a couple of times. Its the time. You just have to less of it to beat it. Thats basically it. If i had half a minute more time, it would have been possibly to beat her. But no, they just thought we give the gamer this challenge, where he finally will understand that the 17th Colossus is always around... Time is his name and you won't defeat him.

I gues one day, i will turn on my Ps2 and try it again. Maybe my skills have somehow improved and i will be able to beat her and obtain the Queens Sword (wich instantly kills every colossus in the game).

So, please tell the story of your Challenge that you couldn't beat.
