Hello, gamers. I know you’ve missed me, and I’ve missed you. I’ve missed you so much that I decided to come back with a banger…
The Recollection EX(EXTREME) TRIAL Pocket Guide
Now, this guide will NOT be totally in depth. This is meant to be a quick guide that is meant to help you with quick notes, so you don’t have to skip through a video during the fight.
If you are totally blind to this fight, I highly recommend you watch Hector’s video. (Screenshots are also courtesy of Hector’s guide, please watch the video!)
Also, please keep in mind that these are early strategies as of May 2025. Someone may come up with better strats in the future. Who knows? So keep that in mind.
Without further or do, let’s get to it!
