As a note, I feel like the only fight tougher than this one was Marquis Elmdore's human form just because him and his bodyguards had 2 or 3 different ways to instantly kill you, including casting omega. Not to mention the fact Elmdore had blade grasp and was thus impervious to physical attacks. Pretty sure the level grinding i had to do for this fight was the only reason I could beat that other one.
