So, I decided to try this Mega Boss battle, because I was sure that I would mop the floor with her.

1st try: 40 minutes battle. Hard, I was barely hitting, but alive. Then after ~35 min she started to focus in one character at a time. No chance at all.
2nd try: after ~20 minutes, this happened:

Game over.

I dont have any idea how people are winning this. Holy fuck, this is crazy hard.

You need to be in the Crystal Desert in order to defeat her, for reasons I wont disclose.

The fight is still insanely difficult. Possibly the hardest boss fight of any game I've ever played.

I will play the game again after the last dlc, but not before. So, looks like I'll have to wait. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's kind of funny that at the end of the first DLC you fought a dragon the gods themselves were nervous about, before going on to fight an actual god, and meanwhile there's this spider that ate a magic rock that could wipe the floor with both of them together, just chilling out on an island

You'd think if they want to tease the next DLC they'd have one of the details be "did you notice the origin of the relic the dragon was after never got explained?" instead such subtle hidden details as "Vatnir looks like Rymrgand" and "you meet Rymrgand in the main game too"

Being consumed to death by a big ass spider sounds disturbing as fuck.

I'm kinda excited about the megabosses now that people are saying they are crazy difficult. I fixed my technical issues btw, it was indeed a faulty video card, so I can continue my playthrough.

Contract work?

Project director hired as a freelancer? To me that sounds like a job title you want to give someone who actually works for you and you alone and not some of your competition as well. Since his "departure" he has been credited on both of the DLCs, to me it seems like he is still working at Obsidian and Avellone's information was false / blatant lies.

I caved in and installed GOG Galaxy. Again. Main reason - my wife really wants to collect achievements.

My new playthrough is with Abydon's challenge (hence on PotD) and a fully custom party. I am only keeping Eder as long as I need to in order to fill up my party with custom characters.

What made me most interested in another playthrough was the party and characters' concept - a team of less serious and brooding characters, with more piratey and less "Pillars of Eternity-style fantasy" theme.

The new party will be based around skills I didn't use much in my first playthrough - there will be a sneaking orlan who plants explosives on people, a main character who uses diplomacy and trickery in a larger measure, etc. I am also attempting to multiclass as much as I can, and use classes I didn't use in the first playthrough. Let's see how much difference it all makes.

I've moved the game to the beta 3.0 branch, so I will be getting to the megaboss, but I guess it will be old news by the time I accumulate the XP for him.

For a small DLC, possibly yes.

I did hear from other sources that he had left.

Imagine if Matt was so angry that Chris was going around implying he was going to quit out of frustration that he decided to stay to spite him. :)
