In the past I always hated fighting this guy, probably because he’s the first real boss that you fight in the game … and also a little bit just because it takes soooo looooong to get through this first part of the game, whereas for some reason it really starts to pick up after this one and soon enough we’ll be re-igniting orbs left and right! Still, I don’t know if it’s just the experience of being 30 instead of 12 this time around, but the fight seemed a lot easier than it was before.
I know that they made some significant changes to the difficulty levels, which I’ll talk about more in a separate post, but in the meantime it does make me wonder – is level 20+ in this new system just way too tough for Lich to handle, or has the Fiend of Earth gone a little soft in his old age???
