@theorytoe I’m OK. I think I can beat him just fine, but I need to give him an honest try. That area was quite the difficulty spike, and I think I was just trying to have a good time without thinking too much. Everything prior to him was “difficult enough to get a few epic gamer moments on but then take easy for the rest of it.” I was tired one night, kinda breezed through the story, got to him, and then got bodied at midnight.
Just to clarify, I’m not complaining, I just haven’t given a proper try yet xD. He is cool AF, I just think I need to take a moment to do do more side quest stuff and improve Lea. I don’t do a lot of damage, and get wrecked in a few hits by even the regular beetle enemies. Like, in only about two hours after finishing Wukong and Whale, I got to the next major boss which must mean I’m severely under geared and or leveled (or so I believe).
