Finally beat that 4 player boss after 5 attempts last night

My group and I were stuck on the Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion final scenario for like 3 hours. We kept forgetting to use our items and that cost us every time until round 7. Anyone else have a board game boss that took way more tries than expected?

Five attempts over how many gaming sessions? That sounds pretty reasonable to me honestly. Some of these modern board games have so many rules and moving parts that its almost expected to mess up the first few times. I've seen people claim they spent six hours on a single boss fight in Gloomhaven but then it turns out they were playing a rule wrong the whole time. Your group probably just needed to get the rhythm down. The item thing is common too, everyone hordes stuff until its too late. I wouldnt call it a big deal or anything, just part of learning the game.

You really think five sessions is reasonable for a single boss fight?
