Skalpel Boss Fight | The First Berserker: Khazan

Solo Skalpel boss fight on Normal difficulty using the spear with heavy armour (Great General set). No commentary & no heals used... until phase 2 lol Really enjoyed this fight, he's very flashy especially in phase 2. Maybe it's just me but I found the colour scheme & shader styles here really disorientating, so it took a while to figure out how to actually look at the boss to read what he's doing amidst all the glowing red. This fight is intense. I was a little disappointed to figure out you can interrupt all the insane coffin-riding attacks which lead to a temporary preview of phase 2. Before you figure that out phase 1 is a lot more overwhelming. Like a lot of the Khazan fights it can sometimes feel like the attacks are unfair until you figure out the clues in how to deal with them (Maluca case & point). I also felt like I kept getting inputs eaten during this fight - usually immediately after a counterattack I can queue up a follow up but found a lot of times it wasn't registering in this fight. My main gripe with the game is the camera is choppy when panning slow/mid using a controller - doesn't happen with mouse & exact same thing happens on PS5. 0:00 Cutscene 1:22 Phase 1 3:37 Phase 2 5:43 Cutscene 6:30 Build PC Specs: Running at max settings 1440p @ 120fps I9 13900k 4070 TI Super 64GB DDR5
