Randomly, not sure if people figured this out, but the only part about the final boss to worry about is time. If you can kill him in the time limit you can beat him always. He'll block anyone who moves before he actually appears on the screen in my experience, the rest are free to fight until that person dies, so try having one person move up right away to avoid other damages and be a block mule. The rest of the party can kill him after that. And as long as one person who's dead stays in, everyone else can re-enter where he is.
Example: I do it with my DK and MM using 2 comps, but when they enter the final visitor room, I move the DK up to the top and wait until boss spawns. The boss will usually block the DK, and I can kill with the MM. If by chance it takes too long for the MM to kill the boss, then he gets blocked and dies, I just bring the DK back in, move him back up, spawn the MM again and go back in to finish the job.
This works at least for the 60+ PQ, and I don't see why it wouldn't work for the 120+ in theory.
Other random observations:
1.The bombs in the 60+ PQ (not sure about others) have a max range that does NOT encompass the whole screen, so if you rush/DB the aliens on the bottom to the far right (or left if you entered in the right) and have someone standing on the portal on the opposite side, bombs won't kill them. Same for top and mid platforms. Just have to have the bombs on the opposite side of their platform from the portal.
2. Only one person needs to get to the top in the JQ, if everyone else dies and goes to the respawn point without entering the JQ room again. I can kill my DK on the wires and then revive him in the re-entry cube, finish it on my MM, and then bring the DK in to move on.
3. The destroyer visitor Aran-style can be hit when he's got that purple buff on by archers (Or strafe, not sure since I only have a MM to test with), the critical shots hit him even though the non-crits miss.
That's all the random information I've gotten so far that I can think of...
Edit: Oh and a strange bug, in the light-room, summons disappear when the lights go off, if you re-summon them when they come back on, finish things, and move on, you can get 2 of one summon. I had 2 frostprey for a minute with this on accident.
