    I know they ran out of time and rushed the last part of the game, but what were they thinking making the final boss parryable and easily so!?

      My take is that, at that point, Gwyn is almost consumed and fights like an animal, so no finesse or technique there.

        Interesting take, but he does have technique and finesse in that fight… He’ll even grab you! Yet also mindless aggression. Makes me think of Bane’s quote: “You fight like a younger man, with nothing held back. It’s admirable, but mistaken.”

        Yep, my going theory was that Gwyn is a burnt out husk of what he once was, the merest shadow of himself.
