I love how absolutely chaotic this battle gets, like at some points it felt like looking at the death throes of a madman. Spells are flying everywhere, people are transforming into so many forms that they sometimes forget what sex they originally were, the bbeg just literally went supernova, and I’m pretty sure that the other Eldest are on the sidelines munching on some popcorn. Calling this final boss Pandemonium would be like calling Asmodeus, “a big meanie”- it’s downplaying it to the point of being a disservice.

And lo the monarch of the Stolen lands realised that (s)he was fighting neither a clown nor a cicrus, but the entire entertainment industry.

It's so cool how each form of the Lantern King has its own music. Inon Zur and Dmitry Silantyev are great.

The most ruthless yet playful boss ever in any CRPG. The fight gets more intense with every beats, as the baron and friends face the impossible odds with the last desperate attempt to fix everything wrong.

​@@dyingember8661being fair, he's not that far from a god, the thing is that Fey have stupidly strong weaknes and limits to how their powers work and can be used. We literally forced him to use only physichal powers to fight because our *words* had more power than his words.

What I liked the most in this battle was the part where you match words with the BBEG. I had spent the entire game learning about the Fey and curses, so getting to now put all that into action to tell the BBEG that "No, YOU are in trouble." was great.

Valerie's shield deflect arcs of multicolored flames as Jubilost tosses ice bombs as fast as he can make them. Regongar and Octacia strike the demigod's body with a swift flurry of steel and lightning. Harrim's power courses through them, keeping them strong in the face of the archfey's wicked attacks as Ekun's arrows fly. Seeing their chance, Amari and Jaethal's weapons cleave into it's side, appearing to tear the flame itself asunder as their ruler prepares the killing blow...

These are the best boss theme sets I've ever heard of! The Lantern King battle truly is a masterpiece, thank you for uploading this.

... Thas it, I'm installing this game again. While the last thing I need right now is another distraction, I have new ideas for this fight that I want to try, that and it was an amazing boss battle.

Thank you for uploading all the 3 tracks consecutively!

Epic music for what is, for me, one of the hardest bosses in any cRPG. Holy shit this fight was tough

One of the best tactics is to quickly take out his first form before he casts dispel magic on the group, erasing all buffs. Then it´s much easier. :)

Also, in second form, use the level 8 spell storm bolt to take out any wild hunt or extra gnomes. Fey have lower fortitude saves any way.

Those are some nice buffs you have here, would have been a real shame if someone were to… end them.

Best boss theme ever?

I knew that each of the 3 battle themes connected in someway. This is perfect.

Loved this fight. If this was when they introduced the Wild Hunt as a surprise encounter in the boss fight, I wouldnt be mad. Instead they were plastered all over like normal, frustrating late game mooks. Why were they in Nyrissa's house, anyway? A single valderavn and some scouts would've served the purpose of foreshadowing how difficult would become. Oh well
