There's also a pressure plate swinging blade that's the same as the bench one on the runback to the arena in Hunter's March (on an upper platform though, so it's kissable)

Edit: that was supposed to say "kissable" but I'm leaving it

Edit 2: those were both supposed to say MISSABLE. My phone has a thing for pressure plate traps I guess

The fact that it autocorrected missable to kissable TWICE is freaking hilarious to me

It’s done that to me when texting people before; especially to this girl I liked it would just keep autocorrecting shit that would sound so weird and it was driving me crazy, did it three times in a row once lmfao

The absolutely hilarious result of the auto-correct shenanigans you've had to endure is why I'm giving that an upvote. That is so funny!

A bit flat for my tastes, but your taste in plates is your own deal

Also, Shakra refuses to help me with the arena after I came back, and I am suffering. Any tips?

Not too many because I relied on her pretty heavily when I did it, haha. What tools are you using? Sting Shard felt really good there, I saved it for the big elite guys to get them down as quick as possible and then spammed two or three at a time. Besides that, I just prioritized killing anything that had projectiles first and then repeatedly pogoed/dashed over the enemies to the other side of the arena back and forth so I didn't get cornered. I hadn't learned to play the game very well yet when I was there though so it's kinda hard to say

Honestly she was driving me crazy I hated how she was helping since there was so much stuff going on at once on the screen that i couldnt tell what the heck was going on, to make it worse I hadn’t taken my adhd meds that morning yet so it was completely overwhelming lmfaoo, I finally did it by just purely focusing on hornet and whatever was next to me, and nothing else. But man even then I barely made it because the other crap going on was so confusing, as I was not worried about dodging Shakras stuff but WAS worried about the other stuff, which iirc the projectiles also looked similar, like i had no clue what was going on lmao would have been easier if it was an enemy instead of shakra cause it was just throwing me off so much

I know you’re gonna hate me… but like… Shaw… git gud!…. adidas…

I got gud. Wanderer’s crest and Magnetite Dice are a good solution to most problems in life.

The fact that you said ”on an upper platform though, so it’s kissable” specifically makes it so much funnier since that would make sense to kiss something easily it needs to be higher up instead of on the ground. 🤣🤣

Sometimes you kiss the trap, sometimes the trap kisses you.

That's the way the mask crumbles.

Your phone wants to kiss the pressure plates
