I remember this too. The second time I played it I had a pretty good
explosive assault rifle which made killing all those skeletons actually
fun while it was an annoying slog without it. And well, it helps to get
the golden key codes from Twitter or wherever and using them in
Sanctuary to get better guns.

I'm not sure what fight this is. There's the one with four kings that's
fairly tough. Then there was that really annoying Orc Warlord that
leveled up by absorbing his minions but I think that's not a mandatory
fight. But damn after he leveled up to four above my level, bullets just
started bouncing off...
