It's over ? He was but a man after... » and then ... He rose from this mass of rats with a freaking flaming sword and killed me because I was so surprised and shocked !
    Never a boss made me feel like this. He was so badass ! It even gets to the point where he flamed himself to survive !

    It's easy to dismiss Arthur's death as nothing but a quick emotional manipulation and a way to kick the plot forward, but I think it reinforces his characterisation.
    Earlier in the chapter, Arthur is concerned about his and his sister's differences with the rest of the crew, considering leaving the chateau to keep on with his life as it was before meeting the de Runes, but he learns to value the beauty he sees in Amicia and Hugo's relationship, perhaps reminding him of
    his relationship with Mélie and considering how staying with the crew would be the best for the both of them

    Steven Adams/Darth vader sized knight in elaborate full plate armour with delicate etching and artistry to announce piety and holiness. Covers it up in robes because function is better then fashion, it'd get dirty, and beauty is transient.
    Backhands one guy into a wall so hard the nearby tunnel collapses. Knocks the protagonist out with a light uppercut without the need for proper weight and follow through besides his massive hands.
    Instills absolute terror and respect in anyone he talks to. Scary villain, but obviously noble and knightly in a sense enough to argue with the sister of his charge about calling out perceived bullshit.
    Tanks a literal "rocks fall".
    Gets back up, kills the person who did it, then calmly composes himself so he can look dignified walking after his prey.
    Gets mobbed by plague rats controlled by a kid who hates him, that can strip a man bare in seconds.
    His response.
    Just light himself on fire.
    Absolute chad.

    An incredibly epic scene. The boss battle is amazing and tricky with all the things one had to do to defeat Nicholas. Nicholas having a fire sword and then putting all of himself on fire with Ignifer is incredible. The fire effects looks so real. But the ending of this scene, when the kids all go “To the death!” together really pulled my heart strings. Just stunning game and story design,

    Man Arthur's death hit me hard and made me depressed, even more than when we had to lure an innocent pig to its death. I kind of shipped Amicia and Arthur ( even Melie said something about that, didn't she? ) Why is it they killed both Arthur and Rodrigo in the later missions but kept Melie alive? Or Hugo for that matter. That kid is nothing but trouble. Pretty sure he's gonna be a villain if there's a sequel (which is supposedly in production)

      30 ibs if that is chainmail with some plate, which is the most likely option.
      Plate would come in between 40 and 60 with the later being jousting and not battlefield ones.

How the heck does Nicholas survive being crushed and then swarmed by rats from head to toe multiple times, and swat projectiles from the air like a shoalin priest? Not to mention inconsistent mechanics throughout the game, but I digress.
