    I'd say the fights themselves are a bit harder than Puppet's, the main issue is that there's little to no room for error. You basically get 2 wipes for the entirety of the Castrum, after that you won't have enough time to clear everything. And the first and final fights put the success of the party outside your hands to an extent since they involve splitting the party, and if one party fails, everyone fails. I've only done the fight 3 times, but so far I've yet to see a party clear the split in the final fight. Apparently the DPS check is decently tight

    My one time in there, the party that went up top in the final fight couldn't get down below 65% on the guy there. We wiped on it three times. Other than that, the first boss having to rely on each part being killed close enough together is a bit of a pain with the core demanding attention up top, and the rest of the place is pretty easy honestly.
