The fight is a bit long because I kept missing my Zweihander swings but jesus fucking Christ am I glad I finally toppled him in the end. I was wearing my headset at the time so I managed to capture my reaction too, which is nice.

Every time I'd swing he would move. Way too jumpy.

With his yuge health pool this looks more like a Kingdom Hearts boss battle.

That is not a good thing.

Yeah, sometimes he just backpedals as soon as I try to get the hit. It's annoying as fuck.

From the Souls Twitter:

Seems like right! Midir is designed to be the Ultimate Challenge for Souls players, that's why he's optionnal

And then from a Reddit post, the Souls community manager often joins in threads:

As far as I know, Midir won't get nerfed. It has been discussed, especially seeing the huge amount of complaints I received on other channels, but I was against it. Finally, it was decided not change him, he's totally manageable, and he is designed to be the final challenge the DLC (and the serie) has to offer.
Midir is special, especially since it's a boss that's easier solo than with summons (we tried with my colleague to beat him for 2.15 hours, died like 20 times. Played twice against him solo, no embers, killed him).
PS: don't take for granted I'm the one posting on Twitter. Lately, it's mostly me, but my colleagues in the US also manages this account It was theirs in the first place!
