Ran through a few more of the Swamp monster fight in some close losses, then took a breather to collect some Fire Abrasives to keep my weapons loaded with flame damage. Went back for another go and absolutely wrecked him. Only got down to 50% health and full cells going into phase 2. Started the second phase and refreshed my health, durability, and fire damage, and smashed him. Didn’t even boost my specter with a wish. I did swap my Dancer Blade handle with the Bramble Sword handle. Similar standard attack move set, but the charge attack has a huge increase in range. A little longer in charge time, but only a single hit and similar damage.
