Bak'al in The Realm of Light is disappointing

When I first got to this quest in Wynncraft, I was excited to finally see an important figure in the lore appear out of nowhere. However, this excitement soon faded, as he didn't really do much.

1. He only appears for a few minutes at the end.

2. He just throws basic mobs at you when you try and chase him.

3. You don't get to fight him. If you try to approach, Lari says he's strong enough to destroy you, but,

1. He doesn't do anything that shows he's a step above the foes we've faced, in secret discoveries all he really does is defeat basic guards. Considering at that point in the story, we've faced foes such as the Corrupter of Worlds and Amadel, that alone isn't enough to paint him as a major threat.

2. He loses to Bob, who we defeat, or at least prove we have the strength of, and fights to a standstill with Lari, who we fight to a standstill with. (He also loses to the Corrupter of Worlds in AHC but you wouldn't know that yet). So logically, it would make sense that we could at least keep up with him, especially fighting alongside Lari.

I don't have an issue with the player not defeating Bak'al at this point, but nothing in the game suggests that you can't.

Regardless of his strength, he should get to do more in this quest.


(Also not the point of the post but having to fight your reflection is wasted potential, it does not feel like fighting your reflection at all).

 

This is wrong

It predates the moveset system so it isn't particularly interesting

Bak'al doesn't need more in this quest I don't think, he just needs more before it. He needs to have more of a presence so you're more familiar with him & his capabilities prior to this event

 

This is what happens when a quest is 6 years old
