This quest can be very disapointing while playing solo. I just beat it in 2 rounds (not to mention that tactics Boromir can possibly finish this quest on turn 1)!
Anyway, in multiplayer game, this is very hard quest. I tried it several times with 2 player and we were out of luck.
Hate it when they do that. Made bad for both multiplayer and solo.
Didn´t realize this was "made bad". Had a ton of fun with this in 2-player myself; think we beat it in 3rd or 4th try but it has been quite some time so my memory of it may not be accurate.
I don't think this quest is bad in multiplayer, it just can be really unfair and the first two rounds will often make or break the game. There are a lot of nasty treatcheries which are especially bad in multiplayer (The Master's Malice and Counter Attack comes to mind). There is also a lot higher chance to draw into Mumak
