Let’s talk about the Taron Malicos fight for a moment. There are an awful lot of things wrong with this particular encounter, which we think actually surpasses the Trilla battle as the hardest one in the game.
To start, Taron Malicos isn’t vulnerable when he seems to be. You take down his stamina, you back him into a corner to start slashing at him, and suddenly he’s right back up to fight with a full stamina bar. Next, there are some moves that can knock his stamina bar completely out, yet somehow, he regains it almost instantly. Malicos tosses rocks at you that you should be able to deflect back, but sometimes those either hit you anyway or fly off into some far reach of the arena. And this guy’s chained attacks are so long that you’ll have a hard time rolling away or parrying without eventually taking a hit.
You fortunately get some assists from Merrin, the Night Sister who eventually joins your squad. But that’s only if you can reach those crucial moments. Should you die, you have to defeat two enemies and then run about 30 seconds before you can take another shot. That’s almost as annoying as this incredibly frustrating fight.
