One side is for the Level 4 encounters which precede the Mega Boss fight and the other side which is used to fight the Mini/Mega Boss with an unique mechanic, where the boss can topple pillars, dealing damage to player characters.
The expansion also comes with 2 new treasures per boss, and a set of behavior and heat up cards for both mini/mega boss.

@@TabletopDuo I have all the game expansions except for the mega bosses I am thinking about getting Vordt or Kalameet.

When you get Mega Boss items, when you use them?? It is suposed they are the last enemies you fight in the game.

[@TabletopDuo]

Hi! You would use them on custom campaigns where there are still other bosses to fight after the one you defeated. Cheers

@@TabletopDuo ah ok. Thanks!

I like the ideas behind this expansion. However, it seems that the Stray Demon was made hard, and just that. Over 7 damage in most cases, and most of those are repeated attacks! Also it has very high defenses and coupled with the pillar smashes... I know Kalameet has higher health and same defense, however, his behavior cards are way more balanced.

@@TabletopDuo I tried out Gaping Dragon. Didn't enjoy it very much because it's just a hard-hitter with low range and slow movement so you'll be most times without getting even hit. Easily one of the easiest mega bosses. In the videogame, though easy, was more fun. Edit: I would like to get Vordt but with this virus it seems I'll have to wait quite a while

[@genarovargas5661]

@@TabletopDuo Yep. That last boss will be very interesting. Imo the best puzzle boss of the videogame series (looking at you, Bed of Chaos!)

[@DamtheMan50]

Like with all bosses, difficulty varies based on the card you get. Wind-Up in particular makes both Demons much easier to avoid even without having to roll for defense (which is the best type of defense). Stray Demon shares the highest current attack card with the Last Giant, both have a 9-dmg attack, but the LG's one is a Leap Attack, Stray Demon has it do no move, Wind-Up and only range one, so unless you let yourself get cornered, it should never hit you, whereas you can't avoid the Leap through positioning (luckily it is dodge difficulty 1).

[@genarovargas5661]

@@TabletopDuo Btw, I think the Asylum Demon's HP is excessive for a mini boss. I would give it around 26 HP (like Gargoyle and Outrider Knight)

@@TabletopDuo You mean the idea I told you the other day?! :O

Note that for Pillar Smasher, the attack needs to be A) physical attack and B) have the area icon (hits all nodes in an arc), not every attack does that. Also, the Asylum Demon treasure Demon's Great Hammer is a solid pick, having only Str requirement, reach of one and rolling two orange dice for 4-stamina (or two blue for one). Especially in 1-hero runs, easy access to a very useful reach weapon (just bring double shields for when you need to block, swap to DGH, hit and run away).
