-Review- Onyx Lord - World's First? No Roll and No Damage with the Orb Throw

Onyx Lord was a very unique experience for me and I'll go as far to say that I'm probably the world's first at doing a no roll and no damage with the ranged orb throw. I looked it up and no one has done this yet on Youtube at least. Every video displays someone staggering the boss right before the attack happens but if someone can send me a link to a video of someone avoiding the attack without rolling that would be great. Other than that personal challenge this boss is really annoying if you don't excessively strike staggering it out of all of it's attacks.

I was going to parry but I wanted more especially once I found out that the orb throw could be compromised with the middle section of the arena. I'm really curious to know if that's the main purpose or just a wild coincidence. So in order to keep the attack from reaching me I had to make sure the boss never got into the middle section which could easily be ruined by one of it's running swipe attacks. One special attack not present here is the Meteorite attack which only requires some running around very similar to Rom, the Vacuous Spider's Ranged Ice Barrage attack in Bloodborne.

I think this boss could have been a lot better with some kind of mechanic uniqueness like the Crystalians but it feels like they gave up half way through it's design. I suppose it's okay for how it currently stands.
