At least i went out with a boom.

Lucky for me, i'm in the endgame now, working on my trauma by slaying every Gjall i encounter out of principle.

Guess i've learned to really hate Gjall. Since my first, tragic encounter i call them "dirtbags".

ouch yeah, we were exploring for more iron, and found a good swamp while on a boat (had swamp+ level gear) and suddenly hit Mistlands. Luckily did not have your experience! Dying on a boat is the suck.
