RE: Ratling Boss
That fight can be difficult due to the swarms of ratlings combined with the heavy damage dealt by the cannon. If you're still having trouble defeating that boss, try to always keep one of his minions between you and him so that he cannot fire on you. Once you clear the trash, it becomes easier. Have potions and bombs ready. If you'd like to take a look, I've actually
recorded that boss fight.
Oh, I finally beat him. But it took two tries. First time, I wasn't aware of what to expect - so I did panic. Moved around, got cornered in a spot where I had ratlings on all sides of me, cutting away at me, and my inventory was too unorganized to effectively do anything.
Second time, I then knew what to expected. Sorted things in my inventory. And managed to kill him. (Not in 3 minutes, like some folks! It took me about five minutes, of throw, move, run up, hit, back up, throw, move, hit, rinse repeat!)

Force Field is your friend for blocking off and tieing up things in fights like this.
A solid plan is your mage has that spell. I focused first on fire (for damage), maxing it out as much as I could. Then ice. So by the time I got here, I had not had that spell available to me yet.

Funny thing, when I first encountered the ratling boss I panicked and got into a nook by accident, letting me take them on 1 by 1.
He was third in line, when his number came up I repeatedly froze him, just a reminder that bombs are great for boss battles.
Oh, I was throwing bombs like there was no tomorrow. Just not the first time when I was caught unaware.

I can't wait to kill that little bastard.
Yes. More annoying is as he's doing all this, he's laughing... that drives me nuts.

Yeah I hate that guy. Not like "oh nice challenge" kind of hate more a "I want to kick the dev that made this in the nuts" kind of hate.
He shows up at the most random times and it always ends the same. With me having to reload after he kills everyone because he shows up right when I was not ready and everyone was low on health at the time and then just casting protections and curbstomp him.
Right?!?!?

Not really bullshit when you actually plan things out, watch where you step and what the enemy is doing.
I died to him once, beat him in the meteor shield room the second try.
Yeah, but the thing is - you walk in, open a door, and there's a two handed sword. You pick it up, and nothing happens. Walk over another 30 feet, see a shield, go to pick it up and all Hell breaks out loose.
The Lephrechaun's appearance is completely unpredictable (first time around).
