Andor's Trail

Hey again!

Ummm, bosses are too easy. Sry to say but they are. I'm not usually a complainer of small things like this, but the toughest boss so far in my 28 lvl AT career was the Radiant Gaurdian and his ghoul-looking friend behind him in the cave just east of Loneford. I can't remember the ghoul's name but it was the hardest to kill, but I only died like once (by chance). I played Zelda when I was younger and their bosses were tough as heck, no matter how strong Link was (and you die multiple times before you beat them) Well, what I'm trying to say is that I love the challenge of a strong boss. As a matter of fact, the Radiant Gaurdian was a quite deal easier than its preceding Allaceph monsters. What do you guys think? What levels did you guys defeat the Radiant Guardian and his ghoul friend?

Thanks.

Missing poll option: irrelevant.
AT is a single player game, with no arbitrary limits to progress and fixed-level enemies. The difficulty of a given boss thus only depends your level, gear, and build type when you encounter it. At level 28, I can assure you that there are many bosses and mobs that will make you cry.

Understandably, having no progress caps in AT is one of the reasons I think this game is good. But, I fail to see how a boss is, in fact, a boss (if they are truly meant to be a boss, ex: Radiant Guardian) when they are not that much harder than their minions (ex: Allaceph); in fact sometimes weaker. What I suggest is that should be made harder relative to their minions, not to any specific level or build of the character. I'm sorry if I couldn't explain it the right way, but this is what I meant.

And the question I asked about what lvl others defeated the Radiant Guardian and his pal was just a curious one.

The Radiant Guardian has twice the HP of any of the preceding monsters. Otherwise the stats are about the same. The lich has about 40% more HP than any preceding monster other than the Radiant Guardian. Otherwise the stats are about the same. So they are harder. If the boss monster is too much harder then a player could get all the way to the boss, and then have no hope of killing it. In general, I don't think that's desirable. There are some bosses like that, but they are there to make sure you can't get to certain areas until you are strong enough to handle them.

Makes sense, thanks for explaining it. Thank you thank you.
