Minerva — FBD 11, a Personal-Best EX

• ▸Single source: legless's run of Minerva at FBD 11 (uploaded 2026-09-11) — an Arc 2: A Past Best Untold chart played at SPEED 4.80, opening on the HUB song select where the Minerva card already carried 098'335'796 EX and a DIVE CLEARED banner. The in-play panel states the terms and the catalog agrees (MIN 2 / EVO 5 / ULT 9 / FBD 11).
• ▸The card's four rows — EXACT 1479 + 111, NEAR 20, BREAK 11 — sum to 1,621 as counted. The catalog publishes no FBD note split for Minerva (the ULT 9 row, 1,474 notes, is the only one), so the total stands as played with nothing to reconcile against.
• ▸An EX, not a Perfect Dive and not a first: 11 BREAKs and 20 NEARs with MISS GAUGE 15, and the prior best was already on screen at 098'335'796 — the card's DIFFERENCE +000'370'187 checks exactly (098'705'983 − 098'335'796), a personal best on the difficulty.
• ▸The encounter overflowed its 13,100★ target: the gauge reached 39,073/13,100★ — 298.26% as displayed — and settles as ENCOUNTER RESULT 000'039'123 with a CENTERED chip over three of five stars, MAX LINK 659 on the card.

One video backs every still below: legless's In Falsus run of Minerva on FBD 11 (3:02, uploaded September 11, 2026). Deep links in each step jump to the matching moment.

The capture carries the recorder's keyboard hand-cam as a fixed picture-in-picture window in the top-right corner, seated below the game's own song panel — a recorder overlay, not game UI. It persists through every screen, so all twelve stills are patched with a delogo interpolation fill of 482x274 at x1116/y92, measured on the 1600-wide stills; the Minerva / Hylen / FBD 11 / SPEED 4.80 panel above the patch stays, and no camera face, burned-in caption or watermark exists anywhere else (checked frame by frame). The video itself is untouched and linked in full. legless is a new channel for this site's guide catalog — credited like any other source. The upload has no English auto-caption track, so every fact on this page is screen forensics cross-checked against the song catalog. Deep-link seconds follow the decode-accurate timeline of the download — naive seeks land far from their targets on this source, so every still was verified individually against its own score counter — and can land a moment off on YouTube's player.

Levels come straight from the site's song catalog (game version 1.0.2c). Minerva is an Arc 2: A Past Best Untold entry whose FBD 11 sits in the middle of the Forbidden band — above the FBD 10 entry tier, below the FBD 12/13 ceiling — and it is the chart this capture plays.

The catalog publishes a note split for ULT only — there is no FBD row to check the result card's 1,621 against, and none is invented. The one published split is quoted in full.

1. 1

   Stage the dive: the prior best on screen

   The capture opens on the HUB song select. The Minerva card — Hylen, level 11 — already carries 098'335'796 with an EX chip and a DIVE CLEARED banner, and the REMEMBRANCE bar below names the encounter: The Light Inside Us, DIFFICULTY RATING 226, a CENTERED chip, BEST ENCOUNTER SCORE 000'040'640. The LOADOUT panel reads "Last Loadout used for this Encounter" beside the PLAY button. The dive that follows is a bid to beat that number, not a first registration.

   

2. 2

   The REFLECT loadout splash

   Before the highway: the REFLECT splash shows AYAME fronting five named cards — 4AM ⚡5,256/❄5,256, Sea of Disorder ⚡3,583/❄6,941, New Friend ⚡4,909/❄9,818, Birth of a New Day ⚡9,101/❄414, and A Warm Gaze: Seeking Others ⚡2,476/❄2,478, quoted as shown — with the score at 000'000'000 and the dimmed in-play panel (Minerva, Hylen, FBD 11, SPEED 4.80) behind the splash.

   

3. 3

   Stage the dive: FBD 11 at SPEED 4.80

   The empty highway at 000'000'000. The top-right panel states the terms — Minerva, Hylen, a red FBD 11 chip beside SPEED 4.80. ENCOUNTER SCORE sits at 0 over a gauge at 0.00% (0/13,100★), the bars read PHASE 0 at ⚡35,138 / ❄34,556 on the diver's side, and the lanes carry English labels: Shift, A, S, D, F, Space. No Assist Mode slot appears anywhere in the capture.

   

4. 4

   First judgements across the opening wedge

   The opening wedge arrives as one wide violet beam with a gold flick line through it and an EXACT EXACT EXACT row posting on the judgement line. The HUD ticks to 001'490'097 with ENCOUNTER SCORE 694, PHASE 1, and the gauge crawling at 3.68% (482/13,100★). Minerva's opening is a warm-up — the pyramid, the breaks and the star thresholds are still ahead.

   

5. 5

   The pyramid with EARLY-tagged NEARs

   The chart's first set piece: a giant violet pyramid spans the lanes with the chain watermark 284 on its face, and the honesty sits in the same frame — two EARLY-tagged NEARs post beneath it beside an EXACT, under an x5.0 multiplier chip. The HUD reads 017'425'707 with ENCOUNTER SCORE 10'284, the first encounter star is lit, and the gauge is at 56.09% (7,347/13,100★) — quoted as displayed.

   

6. 6

   The full-width funnel over the gold line

   A full-width violet funnel pyramid pours down every lane over the gold flick line, an EARLY EXACT posting on the Space side while gold sparks burst bottom-right. PHASE 2 now, the second encounter star lit, the HUD at 029'201'462 with ENCOUNTER SCORE 17'121, and the gauge at 94.56% (12,388/13,100★) — the 13,100★ target is seconds away.

   

7. 7

   The first BREAK, in red on the wall

   The honest turn, caught live: a red BREAK posts beside an EXACT on the magenta wall, with the gauge long past its target — PHASE 4, three encounter stars lit, the HUD at 067'384'920 with ENCOUNTER SCORE 33'071 and the star gauge at 228.40% (29,920/13,100★). The card will count 11 BREAKs in total; this is one of them.

   

8. 8

   EARLY NEAR between the EXACTs

   The middle game in one frame: a judgement row reading EXACT / EARLY NEAR / EXACT while the chain watermark counts back up — 53 — after the break. The HUD reads 072'265'598 with ENCOUNTER SCORE 34'011, PHASE 4, the star gauge at 235.92% (30,906/13,100★). The card's 20 NEARs are made of moments like this one.

   

9. 9

   Rebuilding the chain after a break

   Right after a second break the chain numbers flash red — 12, then 9 — while a triple EXACT row posts across the cyan beam. PHASE 5, the HUD at 081'895'192 with ENCOUNTER SCORE 34'550, the star gauge at 256.47% (33,598/13,100★). The run's shape is visible here: dropped chains, recovered rows, and the score still climbing.

   

10. 10

    The final pyramid under the x5.0 chip

    The chart's last set piece: a wide cyan-and-violet pyramid fills the lanes under the x5.0 multiplier chip, an EXACT row posting with 57-point popups stacked beside it. The HUD reads 096'756'173 with ENCOUNTER SCORE 37'685, PHASE 5, three stars lit, the star gauge at 284.58% (37,281/13,100★) — one chorus from the freeze.

    

11. 11

    DIVE CLEARED

    The banner takes the screen over the darkened highway — a clear on FBD 11, not a fail. The dimmed HUD behind it carries the final 098'705'983 with the star gauge at 39,073/13,100★ (298.26% as displayed), and a CENTERED banner follows across the empty lanes before the card loads; what the encounter made of the dive, the card says next.

    

12. 12

    Read the result card

    The card settles: SCORE 098'705'983 with rank EX, MAX LINK 659, HIGH SCORE 098'335'796 and DIFFERENCE +000'370'187 — arithmetic checks: 098'705'983 − 098'335'796 = 370'187, a personal best on the difficulty, not a first registration. The four rows — EXACT 1479 + 111, NEAR 20, BREAK 11 — sum to 1,621 as counted; the catalog publishes no FBD split to check them against. MISS GAUGE 15 sits under the card's DIVE CLEARED banner, no EARLY/LATE panel appears beside the rows, and the IOTA strip quotes BONUS cells 332 x6, 100 x4, 301 x5, 249 x2, 325 x5, 334 x2 — the leftmost cell cut by the strip's arrow, a seventh cut on the right. The diver's bar reads AYAME at 298.26%, ENCOUNTER RESULT posts 000'039'123 with a CENTERED chip over three of five stars, and the capture ends on the card.
