*takes a deep breath*
Finally, after I'd say five hours worth of trying, I landed that finalSword Saintdeathblow. No apologies in saying my tactic for the final two phases was cheesetastic (was pretty handy with the first two phases by the end, although a stray hit can still devastate you), but it got me there after lots of heartbreak :pac: Have never been so satisfied to see a game's credits roll - a monster of a final fight that's some intense, demanding stuff even by From's standards.
I think there's one or two more optional bosses lingering around I should probably go looking for to tidy things up, but psychologically I'm relieved to have made it through :P Will give it a day or two before diving back in.
Final impressions are pretty much as I've articulated a few times: an absolute From classic, pride of place with Bloodborne and the first Dark Souls. If the other games perhaps surpass it in areas such as environment design (although have to say it's crazy the game's finest level -Fountainhead Palace- is so easily missable!) it makes up for in the sheer brilliance of the combat. I'm not big into super-technical fighting games, so this strikes the perfect balance for me: demanding but quickly rewarding. Other than the final boss who was an immense jump in difficulty, I'd say the difficulty curve overall was perfectly judged if intense at times. Certainly a few bosses that had me retrying for an hour or two, but ultimately across all of them I felt once I got the patterns down and the pace figured out they were surmountable. That's a hard balance to achieve, but this handled it perfectly - even the one boss that irked me first time(Guardian Ape)revealed its true nuances when it reappeared a little bit later.
Anybody put off by the difficulty: I'd definitely urge you to give it a go. It's tough but rewarding - a cliché when it comes to From games, but equally never truer than it is here. If you can play it on PC do, because a steady 60FPS is certainly a help.
So yeah: top-tier stuff here. After feeling just a tad jaded with Dark Souls 3, this tour-de-force is the reminder I needed that Miyazaki and co still have tricks up their sleeves

I dont think i could live with myself utilizing that level of cheese
But eh, i always figured there might be a way to cheese him at those steps, just because he always got caught on them for aaaages when i was fighting him, and i had to actually help him path his way down a lot.
But eh,Owldefeated, the first try i felt he was gonna be easy, but he took a few go's to bring him down in fairness, i actually had him on deaths door and missed the kill shot, and then heflipped back and dropped a load of poison and then done a move i had never seen him do that recovered his posture a fair bit, made me mad, but then i noticed he literally had no health left anyway, so got the kill.
Story question regarding him, if youside with him when given the choice, is that the game finished?0 -

I thought you had to beat the first to get to the second, what way did you go?
Not there myself yet but you can go through the abandoned dungeon without doing the first one. For the second I assume it's somewhere from the back of the castle, old grave spawn, which you can also get to without killing the first one mentioned 0 -
