This guide is amazing! I was struggling with some of the fights before, but all the strategies provided here work wonders and make this much easier. I didn't have to think in detail about how to approach any fight I was struggling with. Made it much easier to reach completion. I do feel like maybe they made this event a little too difficult, perhaps... far harder then the base game, honestly, for the most part.
