Interlude 3 Lythara, the Wayward Spear

This boss is not unbeatable, but it encapsulates the worst designs and memories from poe1. Not only does the boss spawn semi-permanent ground hazards and happily sits inside them (melee is a thing, right?), but those hazards each shoot a nova of projectiles. In a rather small arena.

For some pinnacle boss this kind of design doesn't warrant writing about it (usual GGG stuff). But this is campaign boss. Campaign bosses in poe2 usually can be dodged clean without need to oneshot them or spam your health flask. And then comes this bahlak-style dps check.

Playing as a ranged sorc/witch I didn't stuck as Lythara myself, but this is just bad design academically. Hazards should expire after several seconds.
