Drakan final fight is luck-based

I just beat Drakan after many attempts. By the end, I’d learned all of his patterns and genuinely started enjoying the fight.
The only part that felt a bit luck-based to me was the very last phase. I could consistently get him down to the final ~500 HP, but then the blood pools combined with the lightning would end my runs over and over. I’d go from 100+ HP to dead almost instantly before I even realized my prayer had dropped. Obviously the nerves are real when you’re that close to the kill, but compared to the rest of the fight, that final section felt much more unpredictable.
That said, I absolutely loved the fight. Finally getting the kill after so many attempts was incredibly satisfying.
