But the no-hit achievement is sooooo counter intuitive to the way the game is played on harder difficulties. You are always getting swallowed, escaping, I-framing, getting hit with projectiles, I-framing, bumping into ghosts, I-framing; It's just so much better to just play on easy, get the achievement, then never look back. I know you ain't adding in a dodge roll, or heaven forbid, a parry? Can't it just be an easter egg on for the halls, or toggleable?

Japes is already barely affected by an amulet supposed to nullify him; we don't need him to turn into yet another character who can just block everything either.
