They really should've been a mini boss tbh. One of like two times I've ever beaten a SoulsBorneSekiro boss on my first try. At least Guardian Ape is kicking my ass tho.
It was fine. It was more of a puzzle than an actual boss fight and I thought it was a nice change of pace. Plus I really enjoyed the atmosphere of their arena.
Mist Noble was funny because I was getting ready for a tough boss fight while I was finding a way into his lair, then I went in and killed him in like 10 seconds lol.
