Made even worse since to even get to this quest, you've also repeatedly learned about Zaros's fall, which happened in the exact same way.

The Boss Rush at the end of Recipe for Disaster is a tough, challenging fight.In fact, depending on your combat levels, you were more at risk of getting killed by the surrounding Dark Wizards who, despite their relative weakness, could get quite annoying with their ranged magical attacks.
