Various levels of unlockable shields were introduced since I last played this. My first clear was with the double gate shield, allowing 2 hits every gate (8-12 attacks), which I beat with 7 hits. My goal was then to try to clear with the single gate shield, which is what I have in this run. With a little more luck and patience, I could do a proper clear. But... that ain't happening. Still, 2 hits throughout all of this insanity is more than I could have hoped for.
