Phew! Finally! We did this one in the nick of time. We killed him just as he berserked and killed us all off, so EVERYONE was lying dead on the floor. Thank goodness for soulstones.

Yeah that was really confusing.  He was 3%, 2%, 1%, then boom!  Everything goes crazy.  It seemed at first like it was all part of a death emote or sequence.  Everyone starts getting hit with arcane missiles coming out of the walls and dies.

I thought "Is that all part of him dying?!  Seems like I would have heard 'Oh yeah, when he dies, the whole room explodes and everyone dies' at some point if that were true.  I've never heard of that!"

I couldn't believe it when Wildtail said we killed him just after the 12 minute mark.  It seemed like 5, maybe 7 minutes to me.  We were taking everything slow and steady, but I didn't realize it was that long.

Strangely deadly boss mods never issued warnings about a berserk coming like it does on other bosses (e.g. Illhoof, Curator).  So him berserking wasn't even remotely on my mind.
