I was most surprised to learn that the Bell Bearing Hunter, despite being so frightening and difficult, isn’t actually among the three deadliest bosses in the open world. The Erdtree Avatar, Draconic Tree Sentinel, and Royal Carian Knight are all tougher, in that order. I wonder if this ranking is based on the total number of players defeated, or how often players try and fail to beat each boss. It’s possible that once people realized how hard the Bell Bearing Hunter was, they simply stopped attempting the fight – my group avoids him most of the time, skipping him about 90% of the time.
