no idea if it's sealed off after act 3 as i am still in act 2 but this boss can be accessed in whiteward after opening the ornate lock in that area

he's so mean!!!! for me it might have been the disgraced chef. that was nearly unbearable

act 2 optional boss :) ^

anyway i am loving this game. it's frustrating as hell at times but feeling like a beginner again and mastering something new has been very rewarding. in hk i feel i barely scratched the surface of different builds for different circumstances and here i get so much more expression in my play. fun!!!

i also think that the shard economy isn't exactly sustainable for boss runs (not a critique tbc). burning a hundred shards on a failed run is brutal. by unequiping tools and just forcing myself to play defensive im able to internalize attack patterns much more consistently

i find that tools are usually more helpful to me in gauntlets or in general exploration

i think that when i go into a boss and i'm too focused on when to deploy my tools, it distracts me from reading attack indicators and i get punished for it (especially with the frequency of 2 damage attacks)

me awake at 7:15 am watching the stream tomorrow: wow that was a great touchdown by danika harrod

i have been there and am going through it again now, i know how hard it gets. take care <3

this is my superbowl
