It was cunningham, but when I looked up the dual guide I saw the bit involving Jowy after it, so I spoiled the alternate endings for myself.

And the Duels are the smurfing worst part. It's either A) A game of Rock paper Siscors, or B) You know what the line means so you garuntee victory unless you are doing 0-damage a hit, in which case your just smurfed.

ANd I was level 58 for the dual, but my weapon was only *Gasp* 12.

Kicked his ass when I upped it to 15.
