It took me just under 30 attempts to reach the final boss, I think my first escape was #34, with it being my 3rd fight with the final boss. After that escapes became pretty easy if I was using a weapon I was comfortable with and didn't get completely unlucky with boons. I'd say the easiest weapon for me was the fists because I'm more comfortable to up-close, hit/attack mashing fighting. I think my first escape I didn't even use my special or cast, but more recently I'm starting to try to improve in those regards (cast especially).
I was at 50-something attempts when I finally got my 10th escape, but I haven't picked it up since. I was burnt out. Towards my final runs though I was getting better at strategizing which boons I wanted to fish for and how to build good combinations of them.
