You missed things. Last time they didn't have to fight the boss and the orcs; the boss killed his own troops and was poisoned, while being at a lower level than this one.
Anyone else took some time to understand the phrase "the lady of the scale finds the player actions odd"? That's a critical fail for a font. Like that one replacing the character "2" by something looking like the Greek letter "α" for no reason.
Platinum Shield? That makes no sense. Platinum is a rather soft metal, not one you would make a shield of. Especially as Iron and even better, steel are so much cheaper. Steel shield would be a much better choice to name that ability.
I really don't understand why anyone would use the word "subjugate" instead of "exterminate" or "kill". it makes as much sense as replacing them by "cook" or "drive". Why?
Subjugate means force submission.
"you can't make flames in a vacuum" Well, if you can't burn without an oxydant (oxygen) you can't either without a fuel… So what exactly is the logic, here? That's like earthquakes: they don't have any effect deep underground.
