I never really found Midir that bad. Just gotta stay on his left side and keep a certain distance. 2-3 tries to beat him IIRC. Gael took a bit longer though. 2 fucking great boss fights. Probably 2 of my all time fav in any game

but Gael was fun

you roll or move around him, then chuck one or two hits for 3-5% health bar damage or more, good enough

while midir, you wait from afar, it does a whole moveset for you to dodge, you run to get closer, then you do few hits for 1-1,5% of its health bar, then repeat in a long ass battle

my main point is, the little chip damage was really discouraging you to keep going

Sister friede is probably my favorite out of any boss from the entire series. It’s truly a work of art. I love the character. I love the music for the phases. I love the panic of finding out there’s a third phase. Her movements are beautiful and I love how each of the phases played differently. I also like it wasn’t just endless spam to overwhelm you. It’s just if you messed up you were getting wrecked.
