So I ended up defeating Radahn, O'Neil, and the Mimic Tear, today. I love the look of Nokron and the underground woods, that starry cavern sky is beautiful.
I've still more to do in Nokron, need to beat the Regal Ancestor Spirit, the Red Wolf in the field nearby, and I stumbled into the Valiant Gargoyle boss room, not knowing what it was, and lost 24k runes there. One of the gargoyles died, but the second one got me while it was below half health. I considered going back, but I didnt really feel like getting into a death cycle, and its not that many runes really.
I suppose I also need to go back and run through Redmane Castle properly as well.
Radahn is a pretty scary boss, I spent the entirety of my three attempts at him on horseback summoning allies and jumping in with some slashes when it looked like there was an opening, that arena is fucking massive though, I traveled the whole circumference and it took a *while*.
Also, why's Blaidd in the Evergaol now? Lady Ranni, explain.
