0:00 - Dungeon
46:03 - Hiruko
This is called a Crucible, but doesn't really feel like one. It's the most "held together" of all of them, which I guess makes sense since this is so early in history and doesn't even have the Death Veil (the big glowing eye thing) in the sky to really ramp it up. It's probably the best dungeon in the game, for feeling like a proper dungeon and having an interesting locale.
Hiruko took me quite a few tries, you fight him in human form about halfway and then he refills his health bar and upgrades, becoming much stronger and much more relentless with his attacks. He attacks with I think every element and is difficult to just block against. Dodging with ninja probably would have been better but I hadn't really gotten a ninja weapon I'd actually liked by this point, they all felt too weak. I eventually settled on Tonfas due to them having a move where you jump forward and slam down with a powerful lightning strike. Dealt a ton of damage and could get me behind an enemy, or could start it up from a safe distance away.
