I can do you one better. Revamp the fight altogether. Instead of chasing down Vishap to kill him, he chases us while being chased by dragoons. If we don't make to the exit and leave before he gets to us, fail. We get no abilities to use not even sprint. His run speed is doubled and we have slow. Oh, as an extra bonus he is attacking the dragoons while chasing us. If even one dragoon dies, fail. /sarcasm
That right there goes to show you there are some far more evil than SE. Now if you think Steps is still hard... I can do this all day.
P.S. This was meant as a joke and yet serious at the same time. Steps could've been far worse.
