## Glitch Fight

The introduction of Chapter 4 brought with it a new version of the Flame Ascendant, known as the Glitched Flame Ascendant. For the most part, the Glitched version still has the same Weaknesses and Resistances. The only difference is that the boss model looks different. Should you feel confident enough in your character's equipment, you can Challenge the Glitched Flame Ascendant.

Glitched Challenge Mode rewards a special Glitched Flame Ascendant Trophy, which is much stronger than it's non-glitched counterpart. The Glitched Trophy does 20% Damage (assumed)

## Strategy

- Village is a better option should you want a little extra damage to go with a main-hand weapon; such as the Astral Scythe or Dire Knuckles.

-- Village is a trap choice for new players who have the Inflamed Hatchet equipped. Despite the lower number on Hatchet, Inflamed Hatchet is infinitely more stronger than Living Flame.

- Having blood or holy damage makes Village much faster to traverse. Vampire can have a fairly easy time here due to her early blood vials.
