Guys and gals!!!

Look... this is obviously a half finished (if that) new part of the game. No doubt the coders were pressured to release whatever they had so far to the mains (not TEST), and naturally, in their hurry they forget to log onto a Mac to notice they couldn't even LOG IN! But I digress. It was obvious to me from my time on TEST that this stanchion is an entrance to another cave, a cave that doesn't yet exist. This new boss was obviously put in to make it difficult to get to the other cave. As you know from fighting Darkheart, if you take too long to kill him, you don't get a drop. Similarly, EVERYONE takes too long to kill the new boss, and the coders put him in the game to satisfy their employers and perhaps didn't have time to set the AI correctly. I believe he IS giving drops, but nobody but NOBODY can kill him fast enough to get them. Of course, the AI they intend will also open the door to the new cave... perhaps he doesn't give any drops at all when they finally get to making the cave this door goes to.

In any event, we're looking at a half finished cave system, so of course it doesn't make sense.
