Same number of chairs as there are candles, I love art like this

I’m replaying it now and it’s pissing me off how badly I’ve gotten the timing down after not having played it for months. I still beat the bosses first try with minimal to zero flaks used but whenever I get a deflection wrong that I know I should have gotten right it just bothers me. I’m good at bosses but mini bosses and standard enemies really test my abilities and I think that’s a good thing because it makes the play through more challenging but also more frustrating. I also blame the fact I’m playing on a console with a tv so there’s slight input lag compared to PC
