Nope. This boss is revolting in both design and gameplay, I feel so bad when fighting this boss. Yeah, I understand that he’s a spectacle boss, but so is Bayle, and Bayle has great gameplay. Rykard is just luck of whether the first phase is easy or hard and then surviving long enough in phase two to be able to stun lock him. He’s cool as a concept, but I do not enjoy encountering him at all.
