I don't think Solaire's presence really helped me much. It was reassuring, though- I'd totally summon him again. Actually, I'd like to try being summoned some time. In this world of death and fire you can just.. lets b friend :3
Please rate your red phantom
I'd actually call it a 9/10. There was a sense of camaraderie, I didn't feel like it was impossible or unfair (just Hard)- the final showdown was actually perfect.
Basically it added to, rather than interrupted, my game. A good design!

Well, if you think about it, there's one thing which could have really improved the experience...
