\"\"<\/a>I realize I said that I gave up<\/a>. Those damn chicken illuminati challenges just annoyed me. Well, the first one most of all. But it kept tugging at me to return – I knew I could do it!!! <\/p>\n

And so after a few weeks, knowing that Red Dead Redemption 2<\/b> would consume me at the end of October, I went back. And I beat those damn challenges. And I’ll never do them again!!!<\/p>\n

So it was just hard mode that sat between me and the platinum. The first Guacamelee!<\/b> was more difficult than the second and I platinumed that. So this one should be easy, right? Not at all. Some of those small battles were insanely difficult with a narrow margin of error. Get hit twice in a frenzied room of a dozen foes flailing about chaotically? Restart. Miss one button press? Restart. But facing the final boss for the third time (twice to get both of the endings + hard mode) was still incredibly easy. Each of the three times I defeated him on the first try, refreshing after getting brutalized over the 10-hour replay session. <\/p>\n

Platinum achieved, but I don’t think I’ll ever return to Guacamelee! 2<\/b>. It looked great, played great and the music was fantastic. However I think the first game is superior. For now, I’m done, at least until Guac! 3<\/b>. Below is one of the harder challenges, just to open up the chicken illuminati ones. *sigh*. <\/p>\n
