* The whole scene after the HopelessBossFight with Artorius is awesome for both Velvet and Laphicet. [[{{Determinator}} Velvet absolutely refuses to stay down]] no matter how readily apparent it becomes that she doesn't stand a chance against Artorius, Laphicet continuously healing her until she can barely even stay conscious even with Laphicet's healing. Then, for a moment all Laphicet's own, once Teresa shows up and tries to force him under her control again Laphicet [[NoSell No Sells]] it with [[HeroicWillpower his own determination.]]

Right when [[spoiler: Innominat]] is about land a fatal blow, Laphicet holds up his compass to block the attack. This destroys the compass, but gives Laphicet enough time to [[spoiler: ''[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu literally punch Innominat in the face!]]'']]
