Though I didn’t struggle all too much with Allant, really. I think got him like 3rd try or so. He’s the only boss in the game that felt like a “classic” standard souls boss and not like a gimmick, so I got into it rather easily.

Agreed, he did feel like a proper boss. My struggle was with getting back to him and dying to the dragonfire and regular enemies on the staircase lol.

Penetrator was also pretty easy but a cool fight overall.

Coolest boss in the game, but disappointingly easy.

Oh yea, Maiden Astraea was also annoying because her anointed knight was more of a annoy-ntet (heh) knight. Got parried all the time and they dealt way too much damage.

It was an annoying gimmick, but I still liked it. Just a cool idea overall.

Maybe I should go back for another run sometime?

Absolutely. If you didn't play with sorcery before, I recommend trying it out.
