Just did it with my friend for his first attempt and we beat it lol (he was kind of under geared too,) makes me remember fighting it for the first time on launch, had to come rewatch this.
This was a pretty interesting fight, but I don't like it with SnS. A lot of its attacks hit around the shield, but it was much more fun with lance. Great run, I want my sword and shield to hit that hard lol
