>just spent the past hour and a half trying to kill one unique blood maggot, Chaos Snarl the Grim
>spawns right next to a bridge along with blunderbores, allowing it to spam maggots and waste my time as I slowly push out of the chokepoint
>but every time I got close to pinning it down the worst case happened
>blunderbores a screen away get lured over and knock my bear away, allowing it to run farther away
>a regurgitator a screen away gets lured over and since it has a wander-prone AI it will distract my bear away, allowing it to run away again
>a pack of blood maggots a screen away are spamming constant eggs, and my merc gets raped by tons of enemies if he is amped, allowing it to run farther away
>my stupid idiot oak sage decides to wander super far away for no reason, luring over a bunch of blunderbores and regurgitators, allowing it to run away again
>finally almost get it pinned down, fully drained its defense with Malice and am attempting to amplify it with a shitty magic sword
>it spawns an egg, which can make babbies in anywhere from a few frames to never
>of course the egg bursts within a second
>of course Chaos Snarl starts backing away
>of course this lures even more regurgitators and blunderbores
>finally get it bordering a platform that spawned pure blood maggots
>if I try to kill Chaos Snarl, the neighboring maggots will spam babbies which will rape my team
>to actually clear the platform would take a good 30 minutes since a pack of blood maggots spawned at each corner of the platform, which will allow them constantly reinforce each other
>realize the waypoint is just past this bug infested platform
>even if I clear out the platform, it is entirely possible that I will push Chaos Snarl even farther into the next unexplored area
Chaos Snarl managed to make my life hell for 1/4th of the way across the map and now I am finally at the waypoint, giving me no reason to actually fight it anymore. A virtual bug outsmarted me.
