200 million points? Check. But how high can we go? Then again, how high do we want to go? (This is Part 3 of 3. Part 1 is available at    • RETURNAL | R_A.0204 Tower of Sisyphus...  , Part 2 at    • RETURNAL | R_A.0205 Tower of Sisyphus...  .)

R_A.0206 is the concluding clip in a three-part series, chronicling my eleventh attempt to ascend the Tower of Sisyphus. It resumes where Part 2 concludes: Phase 18 and fighting ever onwards, ever upwards.

🎯 Dreadbound
🧭 Tower of Sisyphus
🌗 Phase 18, Room 1-15
🌟 Recorded 2022 April 4

I ended the run shortly after this clip concludes. Following the footage's final Room (15, for those yet to watch), I paused for a brief break. Upon resuming play, I realized I had not only surpassed my goal of 200 million points, but also earned enough for second place on the Global Leaderboard (as of 2022 April 4). This marks the longest I’ve pushed a run in a single sitting, in excess of five consecutive hours, and I must confess: I don’t know how others do it, but I am impressed by their stamina! WIth this all on my mind and an urge to escape the basement for a sunny spring afternoon, I fell to Algos and stepped blinking into the cold light for a long walk.

Thank you for watching. I update this channel regularly, showcasing select areas and encounters I experience in Housemarque's RETURNAL. If you enjoyed this video, you may find joy in the contents of my RETURNAL_ARCHIVE playlist, accessible at    • RETURNAL_ARCHIVE  .
