Oh hooray.

A lengthy dungeon followed by a boss battle far harder than anything else ever seen. And when you die you start off from a church in the nearest town, so I’m going to have go through the dungeon every time I want to try to kill the boss again.

I have no idea if I’ll even be able to at this level, or whether my tactics are at fault or whether I just need better equipment.

Suffice to say, I did hundreds of hit points in damage to the boss without it blinking while it used its three goes per turn to stamp me into the ground.
