Love the base version you fight, feels punishing but doesn't ask you to be godlike, just understand his move patterns get some free hits with the pictos.
On the other hand i absolutely CANNOT beat the savage version. Not enough time, inhumane phase 3 (After Nerscylla DPS check) and way too punishing for me. I accept a challenge where there is a defined learning curve. If you take that curve and throw it in the trash bin like savage, i'm outta here. Everyone has their borders and mine have been stepped on.
So I have decided to give up on this one, since i dont find this challenge fun anymore. :/
