Magnificent boss. The size of it and the tremor like sounds when it flies by are breathtaking!

Is this a necessary boss?

This boss is super easy, you run up, get the storm ruler, run back to the house, stand in the front left corner, spam on all of the little rays, and then wait for the boss to fly over and hit him until he dies. There is no risk once you get in position because you can hit them but they can't hit you.

Is there a spawn rate for the smaller flying rays?

My favorite set piece boss in the series! The Divine Dragon from Sekiro comes really close tho

xp and stone farming level ?

Probably my favourite experience in the remake, the atmosphere was incredible. Only thing I disliked was the opening cinematic. In the original it was a laid back shot of the Storm King flying into view for several seconds almost like an opportunity to gaze at this giant creature without thinking of the fight that would follow but the remake has hype up music playing from the get go which is more like a build up for the fight before it starts. That said though, everything that came after the opening cutscene was perfect especially using the Storm Ruler to summon winds in the pouring rain. I’d say this a fine example of how to build on an existing thing to make it even better.
