So, I beat Behemoth.
Final boss was... three phases and the first one was the most interesting. You fight him as just-slightly-large, and cut off his arm, then do some energy ball tennis ala Link to the Past... he even summons clones that don't take damage, just like the second fight with wizard-whose-name-I-can't-spell. Then after you stun him and shoot him in the heart a few times, he pulls out the sword you stabbed him with earlier, which grew with him, and tries to kill you with that, and you just have to dodge until a heavy attack stun stage, then stab him with your spirit version of that same sword, in the face.
Then we go to phase two... which is just platforming with some random enemies, like the rest of the game, but the now giant-sized boss is occasionally breaking platforms or punching the one you're fighting enemies on, often killing them more than he does you. I missed one jump and had to re-do an annoying circular pillar with grapple points spiraling around it, which is a literal pain in the neck in VR, since you have to keep looking up to aim your grapple gun at it.
Protip: You can leave the rope attached to your grapple, which doesn't cost stamina but prevents you from grappling anything else, and instead of detaching it and trying to aim it while flying through the air, when you're ready to hit the next point (except a few that require you to swing hard) you can just grab the rope with your other hand and hold on while freeing you to grapple the next one. Then recover stamina while you swing, before you grab it and repeat the process, until you reach a platform you can stand on.
The third phase was... a little disappointing, but the battle had been going on for a while. He shoots a face laser you have to block with your sword and smashes the platform, then you tie his arm down and climb on, carefully making your way up to the weakpoint on his shoulder. He doesn't have his other arm still, but it was still a little disappointing that that was his only extra weakpoint. After that when he facelasers you, you block it with your sword, and use both hands to move while you do it, stabbing him in the last weakpoint- his face.
All in all, it was a really fun game. And long for a VR game... 13 hours on record.
I was thinking about getting the rest of the achievements... but one of them's a whole game achievement and I don't feel like playing it all the way through again for one achievement. It's an easy one too, just don't use the forge except once the whole game- the forge enhances your weapons, yeah, but none of them make the game significantly easier, just give you more options, a lot of which I barely used.
