I was really impressed by this boss. All through the game you are used to see rats devouring in seconds any guards they can touch. When I sent the rats against him I was like « wow ... It's ... It's over ? He was but a man after... » and then ... He rose from this mass of rats with a freaking flaming sword and killed me because I was so surprised and shocked ! Never a boss made me feel like this. He was so badass ! It even gets to the point where he flamed himself to survive !

[@PEACEMAKERS_OFFICIAL]

Yup, this boss was legit good and difficult. The last one was just bullshit!!

[@rzLl_pz5]

It's easy to dismiss Arthur's death as nothing but a quick emotional manipulation and a way to kick the plot forward, but I think it reinforces his characterisation. Earlier in the chapter, Arthur is concerned about his and his sister's differences with the rest of the crew, considering leaving the chateau to keep on with his life as it was before meeting the de Runes, but he learns to value the beauty he sees in Amicia and Hugo's relationship, perhaps reminding him of his relationship with Mélie and considering how staying with the crew would be the best for the both of them

"HEIR OF FIRE DESTROYED"

[@richardseaton1570]

Steven Adams/Darth vader sized knight in elaborate full plate armour with delicate etching and artistry to announce piety and holiness. Covers it up in robes because function is better then fashion, it'd get dirty, and beauty is transient. Backhands one guy into a wall so hard the nearby tunnel collapses. Knocks the protagonist out with a light uppercut without the need for proper weight and follow through besides his massive hands. Instills absolute terror and respect in anyone he talks to. Scary villain, but obviously noble and knightly in a sense enough to argue with the sister of his charge about calling out perceived bullshit. Tanks a literal "rocks fall". Gets back up, kills the person who did it, then calmly composes himself so he can look dignified walking after his prey. Gets mobbed by plague rats controlled by a kid who hates him, that can strip a man bare in seconds. His response. Just light himself on fire. Absolute chad.

Nah dude is regular size maybe 180 / 6 feet. Amicia isn't that tall 160 / 5,4 and Hugo is small even for his age. The sequel actually has some dudes around 2 meter / 6 feet
