I hope you enjoy this little attempt of mine.

That looks super tedious. I was expecting you to own him Brauner style. I didn't know you could freeze him though.

It's actually pretty exciting.
satancard is fairly challenging, and more of your time is spent looking for an opening than anything else, which for me worked rather well.
it's tricky, but if you use all of your abilities you can get the upper hand.
also, hoarfrost is your friend, he'll wake up from it with a sync blockable attack most of the time, and you can stop his attacks mid-combo, which makes up for the zero staggering.

My gripe with bosses in this game is you can't just re-challenge them conveniently, you have to redo the campaign over and over again, which is tedious.

No, I whooped him twice as fast spamming whirlwind and chaos. Whirlwind eats him alive and heals you. On Prince of Darkness it's harder to get an opening with whirlwind, so it's a lot harder to spam. You didn't use any items though.

Just beat him on lords of shadow after many tries. I didn't have any chaos magic at the beginning of the battle, which made it more difficult. I used mist quite a lot, which helped avoid his long range attack. I tried dodging it, but it wasn't going very well.
Overall a challenging battle.
