First of all, I have to apologize for the video being so dark. It was fine during editing and you can briefly see the intended colors after the transition before the battlefield becomes pitch black. No matter how many times I rendered the video, be it with no effects that modify the saturation/levels, messing around with color spaces, using different codecs... the result is always the same. The only exception was rendering the video as a .wmv as it would have the correct colors, but in exchange it would kill the quality. In the end, I settled for what you're seeing right now.

Technical difficulties aside, the amount of Iron Stance Nachtigal has is insane. I need two full Calamity Stances to break it (maybe only one would suffice if I had better Str? Idk) and pulling one off successfully is hard as it is with how fast and how much range Nachtigal's Artes have.
Nachtigal can still be guard manipulated, forcing Massacre Arc every time. It can be dodged with a sidestept and then I use Calamity Stance but unfortunately, Nachtigal continues attacking instantly. He must use Shadow Lance as a follow up because everything else would hit Gaius while he's locked doing Calamity, that's the only safe option. Repeat the guard manipulation, dodge and hope for another Shadow Lance or retreat to use a second Calamity Stance. It's a gamble everytime and not a fun one.

One more thing to take into consideration is that you must capitilize the moment his Iron Stance is broken and start a combo right away, otherwise it will regenerate IMMEDIATELY. Some other bosses share this annonying trait, like Victor, Factor Jiao or the second Factor Muzét.
