Here, I'll insert the valuable (and wonderfully entertaining) notes of Mike Miller on this fight: | Here, I'll insert the valuable (and wonderfully entertaining) notes of Mike Miller on this fight: | ||
"At first glance, it seems that the [[San 'Shyuum|Prophet]] plagues us with the very same elements of video-game-boss cheesiness as the heretic leader (for all the good that it did him): | "At first glance, it seems that the [[San'Shyuum|Prophet]] plagues us with the very same elements of video-game-boss cheesiness as the heretic leader (for all the good that it did him): | ||
*Endless supply of disposable henchmen. If you've tried sitting back by the entrance and eliminating all of the opposition in the room before moving in (which is probably the logical course of action), then you already know that it's impossible. This time, the designers don't even bother with the tenuous device of the holograms. The [[grunt]]s and [[elite]]s apparently just materialize directly from the Great Beyond, the [[grunt]]s throughout the main area, and the [[elite]]s in their little bare stone rooms with only one entrance (there are two such rooms at both the front and back). | *Endless supply of disposable henchmen.

*Arbitrary invincibility. The [[San 'Shyuum|Prophet]]'s floating chair apparently comes equipped with the Standard Boss Defensive System with Only One Weakness. In this case, the weakness is being punched in the face. Curiously, though, he'll scream in pain and even bleed when you hit him with other weapons, but he won't actually take any damage, even from the sword (you can sit there and swipe away at him with the sword as long as you want, but he won't die). So, don't be deceived: I've yet to find a way to kill him other than the intended method of boarding his chair. | *Arbitrary invincibility.
