One-Eyed Jack gives us some wonderful advice in the May Newsletter and if you follow it I guarantee you will have an easier time. I re read it each time I am up against them and I have no problems. It also helps to hold on those fights until you get the one for the striped ones for Brother Wolf. By then you are a bit stronger and it goes easier.

These creatures are though to beat,even for my Buccaneer. Here are some tips, try side questing this could help your pirate level up and equip armor boost and/or health boost for defense,for attack try damage boost. Try learning the healing power from the privateer class,Gunnery skill helps also.If another class try the Buccaneer power boost for additional damage power, if your pirate is a close combat type.For long range type try useing special shoot skills from the Musketeer class,these could damage two or more of these mighty creatures. This is how I have over come the toughest creature so far, i came across with in the game. Good luck, on your quest.

They are a challenge. You do have to think about your tactics, rather than depend on the old faithful routine that might normally work well. Do read the tips Chrissy linked to above; the monocular-visioned lepus's advice is solid. Unless he is giving you a tip on a horse race, in which case it is better to ignore him.

Another trick you can also use is a companion with First Strike 2. The Bumbaloons have Vengance Strike 2, so this ensures you up to 2 extra hits whenever you attack. Sky Snake works well for me, but I think he's witchdoctor only.

Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I got a bit carried away with my suggestions and gave one that didn't quite fit. Thanks.

These Bumbaloons also came up as a large determent, they were not easy. Although, that quest is long gone for me. I can help you.
