I liked the fight. First time doing dungeons where I was actually caught up enough to do them, so I was able to do blind runs on both.
We wiped 5 times and even then, we didn't give up and I think nidhogg is good the way he is, we needed something challaging for once. We needed a normal trial to actually punish you for standing in an aoe, and I feel the fight was well made. Maybe I just got lucky and got a group that was willing to learn and listen.
