Heh, glad you checked that. Not sure why it didn't occur to me (or anyone else I guess) to check the thread.
Gotta say, there's nothing quite as scary as Headless Horseman spawning when you're fighting Bigfoot (Or even worse, vice versa, because most HH hunters aren't necessarily well equipped to fight off bigfoot). Once at the very map mentioned, HH spawned as bigfoot had just been pinned, and we had to split our forces in half to survive. Pretty tough to do with Bigfoot's glitchy KB. It was quite an exciting battle. :p
I'm currently imagining what the original Geist fight was like... It's already pretty close to a OHKO for 7x-8x archers and thieves. I bet the first one was doing at least 3.8k (that deadly magic number which I so greatly despise) with the teleporting claw attack. Dangerous indeed. But such battles aren't entertaining, they're merely infuriating, and I'm glad Prose realizes that at least :p Nothing quite as frustrating as knowing, "If I could just take one damn hit, I could kill this thing with ease." Not saying any names though.
*Cough* CAPTAIN LATANICA *Cough*
I just hope his idea of less mercy isn't more damage
That being said, pretty clear here the allusion is being made to 4 humanoid, mobile bosses (the only immobile boss on that list is Horntail, which I imagine is there simply to signify epic-ness, and while pap isn't necessarily humanoid, the other two are) at once.
