I love reindeer knight so much. It’s like those gifs where someone badly edits in Christmas stuff and changes the caption to say something about being festive, but for Deer Knight

wizard……

this “waiter” has just asked me if I want my steak “well done”.

the name seems to imply that this steak would be of high quality, but you seem to be suggesting that this is the incorrect choice! is the Everything always this confusing?

"A'ight Dasein, now that everything's said and done I wanna take you out to someplace special…...."

I’ve really enjoyed the boss design of Wallaru so far, with one exception.

I think Mr. Cane does a pretty terrible job of communicating what you are supposed to do from a game design standpoint. At first, I thought it was a boss where the gimmick was that using spells that hit the hostages below their 6000 armor auras results in immediate disqualification. Because of this, I used single target spells to kill Mr. Cane and his minion. His “careful now, mind the hostages” cheat dialogue seems to communicate this. However, Mr. Cane then proceeded to fully heal. I was completely baffled by this, because I was convinced I had played the fight completely correctly. After all, what kind of sense does it make for me to attempt to kill two hostages before the guy holding them hostage?

I then tried to target the hostages because there was basically no other option to try, but all my attacks just dealt 0 damage. There’s no cheat feedback or anything, your spells just don’t do anything unless you manage to meet a requirement that’s barely communicated to the player. I think a cheat message on this condition, basically saying “hey you need to hit harder to deal damage against these guys” would go a long way towards improving fight legibility. As is, I literally had no idea what to do until I consulted the wiki. From my perspective, attacking the boss just caused him to heal infinitely, and attacking the hostages was pointless because they were invincible.

After consulting the wiki, I also just don’t know that the hostage cheat worked properly for me? It seems like the fight wants you to hit through their armor, but not enough to kill them. However, because I am a death wizard who was using drains, my spells ignored the armor entirely. I hit one enemy enough to fully kill them, and I wasn’t punished the way the wiki says I should be? Idk. Just sorta strange all around, can’t say I’m a fan of pretty much anything about this one. I’ve loved the other boss fights though! Just finished the Dream Freddie fight and I thought that one was punishing but fair, and I had a good time workshopping strategy. I also loved the Morp fight, I was genuinely caught off guard when she ended my fight lmao
