Well no...I don't think that the excuse "she is a manipulator therefore she's weak" can be applied here. She is a bad designed boss, thus she's a joke.

She didn't manipulate you, she just said to you to find the king, wich is what the Emerald Herald already told you.

If she was a manipulator than she would have just tricked you in killing yourself, but no, she fights you head on. I don't buy the excuse that she thinks you're weakened by the fight with the Throne Defender and Watcher, because if she kills you she'll be there waiting for you, after you've completely recovered. You killed all the bosses, defeated everything that stood in your way..and yet she thinks she can be a challange for you? She says that you've proven yourself to her, by murdering countless monsters stronger than her...

So yeah, i think they delivered yet another horrible final fight (Gwyn was not that bad without the parry spam to tell the truth).

I don't think the ending makes sense at this point...it's like they wanted to give us something to fanwank on...if so, they were clever. But for people like me who don't like to theorize that much, it looks like something thrown in at the last minute to give us some kind of conclusion.

I suppose a completely stupid and over the top ending like a brofist with the Dragon God and a Mushroom Man while everything explodes and Solaire screams Jolly-Cooperation would have been a better ending than "lock yourself in the stone burrito because of reasons".
