Boss(es) tried: Astel (Naturalborn of the Void), Ulcerated Tree Spirit
Frustrating, I just can’t deal with Astel as a melee fighter. Of course, I don’t do much damage at the moment and I can’t stand up to him much, but I also have a hard time dodging him. I can block his attacks in most cases, but it’s hard for me to decide when to run, especially with all the magic attacks. He is one of the enemies I don’t like – big, confusing, magically and physically very strong. With my character who relies heavily on faith (Nax), he was really quickly finished off, but with Arelion in pure melee, the boss is really a number. I have to put him on the waiting list for now and grow a bit. I need more damage output and more life, the same goes for my spirits. They die too quickly and the damage is almost unregisterable.
I see another problem with the Ulcerated Tree Spirit – I can’t lure him out without infecting myself with scarlet fever. Nax could just cast magic and the problem was gone, here I need medicine which is unfortunately rare, both from the ingredients and from the medicine (the little pink balls) itself.
It’s frustrating, I really struggle to leave opponents standing, but it wasn’t even really close with either of them.
I’ll come back again in 10 levels.
Fortunately, this doesn’t stop Ranni’s quest, but it does drag it out… :-/
