The minute long flight down the hall was a waste of time and stupid.
Battle itself was semi-tactical. You can easily gun Kamek down when me casts the spells --> just make a circular (I use clockwise) path while shooting at his face.
I only dislike it when he heads the wrong way to when I thought he would move to. Wastes precious microseconds, and gives him a chance to wipe his inky face. >_>
Overall, my 2nd fave boss in mechanics, and 3rd fave in fun.
