Slowly but surely wrapping up a few remaining loose ends. Other than an optional fight in (endgame area spoiler) Farum Azula, I'm in the final stretch. To my shame, I've fully embraced the dark side and am now summoning Mimic anywhere and everywhere, even for fights that honestly are probably doable without (e.g. 1v1 boss at the end of the above spoilered area).

With how relentlessly aggressive and hard the endgame bosses are, I am now convinced they were balanced around the player using a weaker spirit summon - i.e. one that would survive for maybe a third of a lifebar, making it up to the player to choose what stage of the fight they want help for. But I can't be bothered to find that good-but-not-too-good summon, and if the choice is between no summon at all and suffering through bosses that can kill you in 2 hits while having mountains of HP and very small punish windows, or facerolling with the Mimic, I went with the latter. Still feel dirty doing so, but fuck it.

The above spoilered area was pretty good, though. Reminded me a lot of DS3 Ringed City in terms of difficulty, with the knight enemies in particular being very tough nuts to crack. I could have done without the Godskin gank, but Mimic trivialized it as always. Really shows how impossibly hard the Elphael boss is, that Mimic can faceroll everything else with no problem, and yet that fight is such an incredible struggle even with it.
