    The spider was awful too, I remember. Though I didn’t struggle all too much with Allant, really. I think got him like 3rd try or so. He’s the only boss in the game that felt like a “classic” standard souls boss and not like a gimmick, so I got into it rather easily. Flamelurker was a pain, the spider was a pain. Outside those two, I don’t remember any other boss being that much of a roadblock:

    Penetrator was also pretty easy but a cool fight overall.

    Fool’s Idol was a bit of a challenge, I think, because I didn’t get the gimmick immediately. But I did kill that sorcerer up top that buffed her (was it even that fight?)

    Adjudicator was just annoying and killed more often that I wanted it to because I didn’t get the gimmick here either. In hindsight, it’s obvious what you have to do, but if I’ve never used a bow before, how would I think of doing so here?

    Oh yea, Maiden Astraea was also annoying because her anointed knight was more of a annoy-ntet (heh) knight. Got parried all the time and they dealt way too much damage.

    All the other bosses I’ve not mentioned were fine overall.

    Maybe I should go back for another run sometime?

      Agreed, he did feel like a proper boss. My struggle was with getting back to him and dying to the dragonfire and regular enemies on the staircase lol.

      Coolest boss in the game, but disappointingly easy.

      It was an annoying gimmick, but I still liked it. Just a cool idea overall.

      Absolutely. If you didn’t play with sorcery before, I recommend trying it out.

        I’ll have to see if I can snag a cheap copy somewhere. Played it on Extra a couple years ago and I don’t have any desire to resubscribe any time soon. Too much of a money sink for little payoff for me
