Hans Christian Andersen — The Ugly Duckling
Andersen's story of becoming beautiful, told by a world where nothing is allowed to. Defeated by 46.4% of players — and laid to rest by the sequel's Fairy Tale [The Ugly Duckling], 'Eternal Peace'.
Fight Notes
Mechanically an opening-band fight; emotionally, one of the first bosses whose source story makes the encounter land differently. Andersen's duckling suffers until it becomes a swan. Ask what the mist does with that arc.
The sequel's tale collectible ('Eternal Peace', 45.4%) is among the most-found in BLACK SOULS II — the series wanted everyone to read this ending.
No special tactics required: steady damage, steady healing, and the patience the whole opening run has been teaching.
