SneakingJ vs Bernard

Prelude to war
During the January 2020 GOTM event, user sneakingJ decided to give the short game Furi a try. The game is a boss rush with long walks between the bosses.

sneakingJ didn't particularly enjoy the game. He was ready to uninstall it after he completed the campaign in about 6 hours. But then he decided he would try one last fight: The DLC boss.

He had a go and in less than one hour he prevailed against a cyborg with too many extra arms. But then he noticed something. A tool-tip popped up: Bernard has been unlocked. He decided to kill him.

Face off
The day was 12th of January, 2020, when sneakingJ entered the battle. A faceless foe, without color. A bland arena. sneakingJ didn't think much of it and started blasting, but he wasn't prepared for the onslaught Bernard had in store for him. After many hours of battle, he managed to get to third phase. Out of 9. He needed time to recover.

During the following days, multiple attempts were made, at a max of 3 restarts before the wurstwasser power wore out and sneakingJ needed a recharge.

Day after day the battle raged, day after day lasers were dodged (but mostly face-tanked), day after day one more phase fell.

On 18th of January, 2020, sneakingJ prepared for battle. Bernard was ready for him.

Laser started flying, bullets filled the arena. Hell for some, but for our hero, it was an ordinary Saturday. To an untrained eye it was magic, but sneakingJ appeared to move with a unholy speed. Lasers were dodged, bullets were parried. It didn't last long, and Bernard was down to last phase. It was first time this phase arrived. But sneakingJ was prepared. Bernard became powered by pure determination. He must not be defeated. His colorless skin became impervious to weapons and his onslaught felt like it will never end. sneakingJ didn't panic. Laser after laser, bullet after bullet, slash after slash, Bernard tired.

Around 3 pm, on 18th of January, 2020, Bernard fell. The war ended. The game was uninstalled.
