After a 36 minute fight, we finally took it down. With a cantrip.

So what's the longest boss fight you've been in guys?

I have no idea, I'm usually running around screaming and far too busy to look at the clock! :P

Longest fights are usually the ones really early on when you're stuck with one attack/round against high AC bosses.

Probably the same boss. I think Gideion and Ossian managed in 10 minutes, but it was 10 minutes of 'OMG SHOULD WE RUN IDK'. All those heals it does, agh. And we never went there again.

The Manor of Mourn final boss can be a nightmare if you spawn the top-tier you-know-what in every corner of the map. That is probably the only other one that has come close. It was like the Benny Hill show credits.

Oh, and some of the Kohlingen bosses. Namely the thing at the top of the castle, and the other thing in the crypt. But they are obscene HP more than actual danger.

Does watching Sabbath vs Sarenfeil count?

I think they gave up, were at it for so long.

Why should the great bell of Beaulieu toll when the shadows were neither short nor long?

So the important question is; In PvP how long must you fight before Harm scrolls are not cheese?

Technically speaking, 3 to 5 minutes, since that's how long it takes for a potion or wand wear off.

Nice quote Cag. I like the one Galileo 'supposedly' said after they showed him the torture chambers. What was it? "Never the less the earth moves around the sun." or some such dribble.

Alright no more derailing. I think the longest fight for me was being half asleep and deciding to solo the golem and the big tendril boss in Baator. I can't remember how long but I was there a while.

Augh, augh, fighting that Crypts boss for nearly half an hour in Improved Expertise mode on my ill-fated Banite Monk. I wasn't soloing, we had three party members which dropped down to two at the boss battle, and the Favoured Soul was squishy and had to stay back. I don't. I don't think he had any offensive spells, so it was reliant on Natural Twenties, healing, and the other dude hitting with his sword (on, I think, Natural Twenties too!) Grand times.

So, Corran at lvl 7 was in a party with two others, either same level or lower, in the third level of the troll caves. We had just gone through the transition to the third level when I asked the others to hold up because I had to go afk real quick to help out my gramma. I come back to find the other two have charged off without me and my character is bleeding out. ~PANIC~

But I stayed cool and Corran stabilized. By the time I was up, one of the others had died and so it was just me and a low level caster who had exhausted all his spells. So I popped on experienced mode and fended off the two hill giants by myself for probably the next 30 minutes. Eventually I took them out and rescued the other fighter and we fought our way out.

Talk about harrowing!
