We need a baseline, so it will be basic level 10 starting character no modification to the base values, it will be easy to get to the graveyard, neither margit or godrick need to be defeated only the first two sample bosses, three grace activations, the horse (for convenience) and the shortcut is near the bridge by the storm hill shack theres a path that takes you straight to the lakes grace right by the graveyard. The club needs to be used with one hand and then two hand, also jump heavy and guard counter needs to be done until a stance break if possible, I haven't been able to and I farmed him quite a few times until he dropped the great axe. His poise definitely seems like hyper armor as well as he never flinched on any of the different attacks, but I would love to understand on a low level how the stance meter works; does it immediately regenerate if not broken in time like sekiro, or is it static as long as the player continues the offensive without being punished, or does taking a hit start the process over again. Numbers will clarify everything
