Yes he often spammed it when I lost but after some training i was able to dodge it perfectly. When he starts to spam divine punishment i tried to bash near to him, he then often stopped spamming. Once, i lost, he even used divine punishment 10+ times in a row, at least after dodging so many attacks it seemed like +10 times :P
Well after some time I got good enough to get to Chaos in the inner chaos champaign without taking hp-damage in the last stage.
Now I am playing the Blackjack Parcours.
