My game is/was patched to the latest version before I ever set foot in Raze's fortress. I was aware of the insane damage bug but I thought it was fixed in the patch. After changing the difficulty from normal to casual I was finally able to defeat Raze and his minions but I must say I still took quite a pounding - more like hard difficulty. I rather like this game as it isn't just a walk in the park. Although I like to try and figure things out on my own, this segment caused me a lot of grief. It wasn't just Raze that dealt insane damage, but the respawning creatures as well. It seemed like I was wearing armor with a negative class. Anyway, I didn't like to have to resort to going to casual difficulty but at least I was able to finish this part of the game. Thank you Stabbey and Raze for your input once again.
