Could you briefly explain why he’s so badass? As I know a little bit about him, but haven’t actually looked into him at all.
I just beat it with what I would consider mid range, I did use the starting blade for critical hits though. Mostly being in the air a lot is what helped, full blowing the altitude to avoid the claw attacks really helps. 
Yeah, the one that summons a bunch of rat things. The cool thing is you can just refresh the map and get a different boss. Each biome has 2 different bosses both tend to have Adds but usually one is better or worse with it.
The first one is easier than a dark souls, it never really gets to that difficulty (although I did stop at the final boss as it’s gimmick was super annoying) but the first game is kind of based around multiplayer as almost every boss spawns ads constantly.
That’s how the first one was. The gimmick was that maps were randomized and instanced with specific events possible to show up. It incentivized re-running each map 6-7 times so you saw all the quests and bosses. It was very balanced around multiplayer though, so hopefully they’ve improved that.
👍 purchased. It doesn’t arrive prior to my camping trip, so I’ll read it after I’m done with the last Malazan book.
I did a very very mildly related thing about a year ago trying to set up monthly “Twilight Imperium” teaching games at my local boardgame shop. After the first two months of going and not having enough people show up to actually play we now have 3 different games running each month.
It’s hard to put yourself out there, but you might as well give it a chance
Do you have a small synopsis of what the book is? Beyond the generic “lessons to tell my child”, it looks like it’s only $7, if it’s something I’m interested in I’ll buy a copy to read while I’m camping.
