 * The Lady of the Lake drops gold items twice on the first and third phase. The requirement is dealing over 500 and over 1000 damage. Due to a coding error, if exactly 500 or exactly 1000 damage are being dealt, the corresponding items will not be dropped in that phase. With Treason this can be avoided by not shooting missiles that aren't fully charged outside of Vaunt, as this will assure that the total damage dealt will always be a multiple of 1.5.

 In co-op gameplay, one player shall Vaunt for as long as possible while the others activate their Vaunts to increase the multiplier just as the longest Vaunt depletes to significantly increase the Vaunt bonus.

 ** Once the Vaunt gauge depletes, score will be added based on the duration of that vaunt. The formula for this is (timeInSeconds * 600) ^ exponent. The exponent depends on the difficulty (Normal: 1.00, Difficult: 1.05, Legendary: 1.10, Divine: 1.15, Judgement: 1.20). If the Vaunt is depleted rather than being manually cancelled, the bonus is doubled. It's also further doubled for every other player that is still in Vaunt at the time in co-op gameplay. If the player dies during a Vaunt, no points are awarded.
 ** Upon activating or manually cancelling a Vaunt, a shield appears around the player which can cancel bullets (except green ring bullets). Bullets cancelled that way are worth a base amount of 100pts each.

 ==== Summary ====
 The goal is to activate a Vaunt and maintain it for as long as possible before letting it deplete in order to raise the Vaunt bonus score acquired and double any score acquired through other means. It order to achieve this, it's often times necessary to destroy enemies while also fulfilling their Special requirements to make them drop more items as the regular drops may not suffice to keep the gauge from depleting prematurely. There are a couple boss milks as well which either revolve around cancelling as many bullets as possible with multiple Vaunts or activating and depleting multiple Vaunts without extending them with the help of the additional gears dropped by some bosses. Scores do not reset upon a continue but clearing without continues results in greater bonuses after each stage and at the end of a Gauntlet run.
