God of War III Apollo/Chalice Nemesis Whip PAIN+ part 8 Hermes Boss

Fight took almost nine minutes. I could have sped it up with reversals but he goes for grabs 1/10 times. No telegraphs, and flops around like a mudskipper (literally have to bait him and hope he doesn't instakill me with unblockable slap). Was so pissed I fought him again with infinite magic spam. Glad it's over; won't be this troubling on CoH PAIN+. PAIN+ Conditions: -No upgrades -No meter extensions -No opening of chests -No magic -No item use (unless necessary) -No Rage -No parrying of projectiles (including Gorgon's gaze)
