The blood starved beast was definitely a boss I heard was a skillcheck but after beating Shadows of the Erdtree I feel like I have the ability to read the animation (even at 30 fps) and the discipline to stay cool to the point where I could actually beat it in one night.
Now, was getting text messages putting me on edge? Absolutely! I was so high strung during the run back. But in the fight I was doing well enough.
