I still don't understand why people think Ranjit was ever our equal or superior, I don't think the story ever says or makes it feel like he is. They say he's strong, sure but I feel he's a danger to our companions and goals rather than us. He's the definition of a fighting style/power unique to the source which is the only thing that really gets at the WoL. Even our final confrontation with him in his dragon-scythe form feels more like his last stand to slow us down rather than stop us. I don't think Ranjit was ever meant to be a challenge for us and more a representation of Eulmore's power and capability with disrupting our plans.
