Ironically enough, the boss is a dragon
And its fucking impossible
Hes like, god-tier now, with ridiculous defenses out the ass
The fight itself goes somewhat like this. As it starts, everyone bum rushes him like a pack of crazed idiots, and he starts creating about 50 little bone tentacle things all over the area. Then he starts dropping the most irritating part of the entire fight, poison death clouds. Like he drops AoEs that poison/damage everything in the area, and when you dodge out of the way, they just fucking teleport to where you dodged to and you fucking die. Usually by this point, the map is just entirely lit up with blue symbols for every downed player. Then he throws up a bone wall to protect himself, at which point everyone is either dead or too distracted trying to kill all the mobs of the undead that have been spawning the entire match and destroying the cannons, and no one bothers to try and go after the wall. If by some miracle they do take down the wall, theyre immediately met with a shockwave caused by Tequatl stomping around like a maniac, which shoves you back a good 100 feet and causes your health to plummet. Then for about 15-20 seconds, you have a small window of opportunity to start unleashing attacks on him, but by this point, almost everyone is dead and a lot of people spend this time desperately trying to revive people instead of attacking. The few that do attack notice that his health just will not drop because they apparently beefed him up so much that you may as well be pelting him with wads of paper. Ive never even seen the health bar drop below 90% since the update. Once that little window of opportunity for attacking disappears, he immediately starts dropping the poison AoEs and the cycle repeats over and over.
And the kicker...theres like a 10 minute timer on this whole event. You have to take him down in literally 10 fucking minutes or you fail and the event doesnt start for another 3 hours.
They beefed up all the other bosses too, but the problem is theyre still
beatable. Hell, even fucking Jormag, the level 80 dragon that took about a 20-30 minutes to beat pre-update is still beatable within 20-30 minutes. In fact, hes actually easier now. The level 80 boss that spews high level mobs while youre trying to kill him is now easier than the level 65 boss.
The only benefits to the update were the increased difficulty made all the other bosses a bit more challenging to a degree that was still doable and had them drop more rare loot. Tequatl though, hes on fucking steriods.

RIP Pre-update Tequatl, you big undead dragon
