Well it took one day and the evening before to beat him. When I first beat him and he transformed into the second phase I lost it and wanted to throw the pc out lol. (I didn’t know about this even though the game is that old now.) But I was very happy with how consistend I could get to phase two after I beat phase one for the first time.

Also I love the posture system an how this changes the whole fighting mechanics compared to Dark Souls.

Regarding Ornstein-Smough: Both fights are hard, but I found Genichiro way better in terms of game design. It’s a more straight forward skill check, whereas Ornstein-Smough felt very gimmicky/cheesy to me.
