You'll bear witness to a betrayal of a story character you likely know well, though we'll abstain from getting too specific to prevent unnecessary spoilers. We will, however, get very specific about the boss fight against Udunion. He's a giant floating demon, with a skirt-type garment covering his lower portion and some brutal armor strapped to his upper torso. Affixed to his hands are moon-shaped blades, which he more than happily swings at anything nearby. Now for the bad news. During the fight, your fellowship will have the stand on a metal grate with molten rock flowing below, doing constant damage to your character. Udunion, a level 52 elite with a flaming eye icon (flaming elite?), blasts out fireballs that do between 400 and 600 damage per hit. He's also got one area of effect blast that we saw do 3500 damage, which seems insanely high. On top of that he inflicts 8 dread, effectively halving your morale reserves and increasing the amount of damage you take. So that's going to be hard.
