Can you beat General Lothaire in Valor Mortis?

⚔️If you beat General Lothaire you get the General's Catalyst Clot, 10k catalysts, and the Torn-Banner achievement.
⚔️ You only have one attempt to beat him, since if you die, a cutscene will play and the boss will disappear.
⚔️ If you hit ALT + F4 the moment you die, I found you can load in just before the boss arena to try again.

General Lothaire, The Eagle-Bearer, is the first boss in Valor Mortis and is one of those classic starting soulslike fights you're really not supposed to win.

The odds are very much against you, especially as you only have one attempt. Dying will start a cutscene where Lucjan appears to save you and provides a bit of an info dump about the world, but the boss will disappear.

While spending way too long beating Lothaire to find out what happens, I realised you can actually ALT + F4 the moment you die, and it generally puts you outside the boss arena when you load back in, letting you attempt the fight again. If you beat General Lothaire, you'll get:

It's a pretty big bonus in terms of initial levelling. Valor Mortis also doesn't have boss weapons, so you can spend that clot without missing out.

You'll also get the Torn-Banner achievement. Since I beat him, I can't confirm whether Lothaire turns up later, so this might very well be the only way you can get this. Still, is it worth repeatedly ALT + F4ing to fight him until you win?
