Nevermind the boss fight itself, make sure your *home* defenses are up to scratch first.

Great point, expect some big blue visitors to say hello at some point afterwards.

Also you start getting "Foul Smeel From the Swamp" events that can quickly overwhen an upprepaired player and do a lot of damage to an unsecured base. Helps to add stone walls around your base as soon as you get the 2 Iron needed for the stone cutter. All that stone you ended up with from copper mining will come in handy.
