Who is this guy?
Me and my friend cleared the black pits entirely (both inside and outside). We killed everything and everyone. We have seen many people making screenshots of some fire covered area which seems to be where that guy got hanged, but we never encountered any boss fights there and no fire.
There's a platform with a hanged by the wrists guy. You get the quest by a lizard master in Cloisterwood. I'm not sure it triggers if you haven't got it in your log.
But the moment it triggers it's pure disaster. Not because the enemies were particularly powerful, but because there's fire all over the place. It nearly brings my rig to it's knees. There's an army of oil and fire voidwokens spawning and spewing necrofire. The one you can't put out unless you spam bless on the ground, only to start again with the next Voidwoken.
My rig was slowing down to a crawl in the process and, given that there was fire all over the place, I couldn't even see what and where to hit, since all enemies were covered in fire and virtually invisible, unless you happened to hover over them and saw the sword symbol.
