    So this is the 20th time i faced the ixodoom and i'm just keep repeating it because i don't have anything else interesting to do here other reason is because nuru is such-a-cutie or is it because she is the only significant person I know beside SAIL. so i've been thinking that the creature that took months to develop, design, and program only worth about 10 minutes of your time and defeating it isn't even worth it, Cause this thing is just a plot convenience to showcase the companion AI they have been developing on Nuru (which is good).

    Here is the comparison from other games
    • In legend of Zelda you get at least a permanent upgrade and a cool gadget that is required as a puzzle mechanism
    • In Dark souls you didn't get the boss gear directly but at least you get the material to make those appropriate boss weapon
    • In Minecraft or Terraria, you still get some trophies from the respective bosses so why can't WE at least get some fossil at least from bosses
    • In Skyrim not only you get special gear and crafting material, but NPC started to notice your achievement and started talk about how awesome you are
    But here is what you get from killing this never-existed-before-boss: Nothing, freaking none cause the story wouldn't even change whether this boss exist or not. Back to the ixodoom again i mean look at it's chitin can any of the developer get a slight of hint how cool does an armour shaped like that could be, or just look at it's claws wouldn't that even make any swords?. And look at the mission in general, I JUST WALKED AND SURVIVED TROUGH A FLORAN CANNIBAL PARTY and IM NOT EVEN A FLORAN, why the heck not every floran i met randomly give me a pat in the back like they don't even care about their racial tradition or does Nuru get all the praise instead?. Cause the entire mission literally goes like this

    Floran: Hey welcome to the Hunger Games *Cough* I mean welcome to the floran cannibal party where you are the only one that has actual chance to survive because you wear bulletproof composite material armour and a homing missile launcher against floran armed with primitive weapons. An we didn't even care to disqualify you for that because we don't wanna mess with the guy with a missile launcher in his hands. Just jump in into the totally not suspicious looking well
    Me: uh okay then *Falls down* Hey look at that flo- *Died*
    Floran Hunter 1: Hey look at that dumb bird passed out being clubbed.
    Floran Hunter 2: Hey let's rob is credits while he is unconscious, let's just take 30% of his pixel and teleport him back into safety
    Floran Hunter 1: What do you think you're doing can't we just take all of his credit and kill him already
    Floran Hunter 2: What is it with that? It's not like he is gonna come back as a clone and tries to disintegrate us into a light particle with his rocket launcher


    Some times later after a bloody mess
    Nuru: Hey my name is Nuru, i'm a super athletic invincible young female hunter, please don't look for my picturesss in deviantart.
    Me: Hey there, can you please help me a little and like open the obviously unlocked door in front of you
    Nuru: Okay but i'm just gonna teleport randomly and irritate you a little by appearing at an uneven location
    Me: That's sounds like a good deal to me

    Some time later after an even more bloody mess
    Nuru: Hey look there will be a giant monssster thingy with a very predictable pattern that can be remembered after the first two minutes. Let's just go against the rule gang up on it. I'm just gonna use a melee weapon despite of knowing that the monster with appear in the celling for 90% percent of the battle
    Me: Sure let's do it then

    Some time later after the bloodiest mess
    Me: Hey thank you Katniss *Cough* I mean Nuru for helping me i how that we might meet again
    Nuru: Oh yeah... I'm totally okay with that but here's my number, so call me maybe around Six months after thisss.
    Me: I'm Gonna miss you
    Nuru: Yeah
    totally gonna sssee you again

    And that's literally what's happened in the cannibal party quest

    I'm gonna rate it 5 out of 7 for being the longest mission yet

    I think the aesthetic of this mission is a placeholder. the boss, Nuru, and the setting will be kept but other details will be improved or changed. I think.

    also, remember that the whole encounter and rewards structure could be changed by 1.0 or a post release patch.
