Continued my Hard Mode Run of DMC1.
Died alot on Griffin 2 (that boat suck, I also died after I killed him), 3 shadow in mission 14 & the two shadow in the pit in mission 15 that you HAVE to kill to get part of a blue orbs, and man, Shadow aren't fun to fight in thights place where you think you have enough freedom in the air to survive, but NOPE.
Used alot of golden orbs as a result, not sure if it's very cool on my part, but DMC3 allowed me to retry section without redoing the whole missions over, so unless the mission is really THAT short, I take the C or D rank & continue doing my best.
At the very least, I killed Griffin 3 without dying once, so that's nice.
EDIT: Also, I think I got all the fragment of blue orbs in the game, just need to buy the one remaining in the shop.
