Resonance Chapters 4 & 5 After Launch — Still the Mid-Game Spike
What preview coverage got right about Chapters 4 and 5, now checked against the shipped game: Focus, Kopis, battle grounds, Greek Sword.
Previews were mid-game, not the opening
Press events showed Chapters IV and V because that is where the toy box is full: sphere colours, Focus, a Heroes’ Grave, and the first real Brute courtyard. The shipped opening is slower — nunnery, carnival, island landing — so if the showcase felt “already hard,” you still have three chapters of ramp.
Use the real walkthroughs, not the old recap: Chapter 4 and Chapter 5. The “Minotaur guardian in a circular arena” from some previews is not the Chapter V fight; Asterion is Chapter XIII.
What still holds
Yellow parry, red dodge, grapnel archers, shield kicks, optional tombs off the critical path. Chapter V remains the best checkpoint gym in the game. Spend Deflect before you walk into Chapter VI’s creature.
