Its not uncommon to have plains near elder. That boss is usually far enough from center to encounter swamps on the way too.

While plains suck for Black forest explorer, the mosquito damage has been nefrfed so hard its not a oneshot anymore... unless you eat on the cheap.

Your elder isnt particulary far, seen further many times... but it's on the RNG to provide you with so many plains in the way. It is definitely a difficulty spike. But nothing insurmountable. Just be weary not to run into plains when fighting. The sound of the fight can attract the plains creatures to venture into the forest. Which can be a good thing, they will help you fight the boss... just dont take aggro on yourself.

The worst enemies would be mosquitos so keep an eye for them. You can kill them with any weapon except fist. So before starting the boss check if any are buzzing close and snipe them.
