The Fatalis fight isn't about realism. Sure, yes, IRL a huge Dragon biting at you would probably knock you out for the count. But when Lao-Shan Lung falls on you completely, that only does a scratch-worth of damage. Hence why Andrew was arguing that Fatalis is simply hard for the sake of being hard.

His equipment's not that great either, because the weapons can't reach Purple sharpness. Great raw and element, yeah, but without Purple you're immediately doing 20% less damage (if I remember the formula correctly).
