So, I was in the process of finding the statues which say "I am the Left eye..." and "I am the Right eye...". I had already found the one in Hamlet, but forgot to mark it. When I went through the portal from the Hub, I was SURROUNDED by ratmen, wargs, the ratling boss (another one, I already killed the one in the sewers), an ogre, and the trickster. HOLY CRAP was that intense! Anyone else have this happen to them yet?

The second Ratling boss, when you kill him he drops a letter... I wonder what it says...

It's a scripted battle, happened to me after I

Ah, I see. I had to click randomly to find the letter; it apparently moved strangely and was completely hidden by the sand.

I got this battle during my first playthrough; but it didn't happen on my second. I've finished the entire game, and I didn't get to fight the second rat boss. I wonder why. ???

After the mine did you head back out to the Hamlet?

Sure. I've gone back to the Hamlet many times. But if it really is activated by going to the mine, that might still explain why I haven't seen it... I think I did the mine before fighting the first rat boss in the sewer - and so if the mine is the trigger, then it fired without being loaded - so to speak.

With that in mind, I'm going to load up the game now and just walk around in the mine a bit and then revisit the Hamlet again.

[edit]
That worked. It not quite as exciting with fully-equiped high-level characters, but it's still a bit of fun. And I was surprised to see The Trickster join the fight again...

Thanks for the help.
