Tied for best boss fight IMO. Some minor nuisances including a bug where a certain attack can't be deflected under the right conditions.
Rules:
Fresh New Game
'Additional Hardships' from not carrying Kuro's Charm (increases difficulty and introduces chip damage on 'block' but not 'deflect')
Bell Demon on
No prosthetics
No combat arts
No damage or stagger taken
No dragon mask
No items/buffs

Maliketh has 80% resistance to holy.
Coded Sword does pure holy damage.
Using them is basically like using an unupgraded weapon.")

No, these kills do not prove Waterfowl Dance is fair. It is not.
No AoW skills, no items, no blocking, no parrying, no hit, no spirits, no summons, no temporary buffs like flash of wondrous physick. That gives like +100AR and extra staggers, its really strong.")
