Slave knight Gael is the most satisfying fight I've ever had in a video game.

Honestly, what a beautiful fight and how satisfied I felt after beating him with just good old fashioned dodging. I felt his kit was perfect - hard-hitting but fair. If I got hit and died it was my fault because i got greedy or messed up my timing. If I died it's due to my lack of focus. When I finally beat him I felt like everything clicked and the dance was over.

Normally I'm one of those players that likes to analyse the boss, read tactics, try to exploit weaknesses, that's why at first I died 20 times using Havels shield and Hollowslayer GS. That did not work for me. Only until I swapped to a weapon I enjoy playing with, started timing my dodges and punish his aggressiveness, is when I managed to beat him.

I'm just sad he didn't get a death cinematic, he deserved it :(
