Enjoyed this one.
Wasn't able to finish, I got all of the items but the 2nd and 3rd seemed to do nothing? Not sure if continuing after getting hardlocked at the start of some fights messed something up (winning a fight in the middle of a boosted string of attacks seemed to consistently trigger the hardlock).
An indicator of the timing needed for the timed hits would help, I eventually figured out everything but parrying the knight sword (unless it's impossible to fully parry that?)
