Can we please make it so sealnado doesn't instakill?

Ok, I cannot be the only one griping about this. It's just his swirly attack, where he instakills you even with the best armor. That, my friends, is really dumb. Picture a battle going great, then whoops! I ran into something, couldn't get away, DEAD. If anything, maybe half health at most. 

 

Sorry, just a little peeved

You can hide behind objects to avoid that atatck. Like trees, boulders, chimnea. That's way easier than running away from it

Having dealt with this creature multiple times my solution has been to jump into a boat and tank it with a cutlass.   Takes about 5-10 seconds.

Fight him melee on land, when he is charging his attack: jump on a boat, get a bit far so he doesn't take any sanity from you and wait for him to stop absorbing and get on land again to fight him melee. Repeat if necessary.

I understand there are ways of escaping it, and tactics to avoid it, but regardless- I am a strong believer that no attack should kill a player with full health, especially when A) it's the first boss you encounter and B) an AEO attack?!

i dunno man... it just feels kiiinnndddaaaa.... annoying to do it like that. I mean, a difficult boss is fine, sure, but I dont think it should be able to oneshot you regardless of its power

yes but you wear armor
