Had an Amazing 9 minute fight using spears, act 1 boss, right difficulty but on the wrong spot.

i had 600 hours in 0.1 never died to this boss more than once in a while randomly leveling an alt while not taking attention.

This time around i died 3 times and had to farm a few zones before trying again, died twice on the second round so 5 times in total before i could get the kill, this level of difficulty is the one i crave a lot, i enjoy Elden Ring and soul like games for the exact same reason.

That said act 1 boss being this hard is way too much of a change for the current zoom zoom player base PoE currently has and this sort of challenge is gonna gatekeep the vast majority.

I hope the game can offer me this level of challenge once i reach high level map and pinnacle bosses instead. if the game is this hard at the beginning then we end up killing bosses in ten seconds again I'm gonna be sorely disappointed.
