Even I can admit I got "lucky" with this fight! At the end with only 1 Blood Vial left to his little bit of health, it was a Mexican Standoff! I just went in there balls-to-the-wall, duked it out toe-to-toe and got out when it was getting thick, hoping Valtr would make up for the slack, which there was a lot of. I really think I wouldn't have beat him the 1st try like this if I soloed it.
