No problem!

Good luck with that final key in Stage 7.
I have a lot of patience with games and life in general, but that sucker was wearing it seriously thin.

It's not that tough if you are using the "continue cheat" on extra hard difficulty. It's pretty easy to time your continue here. I played it back the other day and got the key within 3-4 attempts. (I think the ratio for this key is 25%).

There are some videos on YouTube that may help...

I bet you just found something to patch, the play rank continue glitch. Or you'll leave it in since it makes 35 keys a little easier.

I don't think there's a reason for it. It's not even a bug/glitch in that sort, just something that players found out and can use for their advantage in this case.

After my first few attempts I did switch to using Extra Hard difficulty, level select stage 7, and continuing just after the miniboss preceding the last key location. Took me 10 total attempts, but I only shot the box maybe 7 times.

I was under the impression that the drop rate was around 50% not 25%... so that changes my opinion of how unlucky I was feeling.

This is an example of what I was talking about before. Every time you do something, it raises your Games Played count.
If you started a level and something came up and you had to quit, you just tacked on an extra number to your Games Played.
In future projects, perhaps the Games Played value in the Awards menu should only increase when you reach the end of the game, get a game over or fail a challenge. Or perhaps the Attempt/Successes ratio should be removed from challenges, and a 'Challenge Mode Plays' value should be added - if it's a high value, you'll know you made a lot of attempts, but you won't know specifically for what challenge (it irks me seeing almost 10 attempts on Evasion Master with 0 successes, and how even challenge attempts add to my Games Played value of over 200).
Or maybe even an option to reset or hide the Games Played or Successes/Attempts ratio. Not trying to be a bother, but I feel embarrassed and giggly at the same time when I see those numbers.
That being said, it must have sucked to have so many Games Played values raised by 10 for each stubborn Secret Key. I'm glad they took out the Weapon Changes value from Himmelssturmer, though.
