With a larger number of players in the dungeon for his second attempt at the hard mode Ezekiel began to notice that the number of enemies had increased, especially the swarms.
Attacking packs of enemies and swarms of small monsters felt significantly more dangerous with more players but the experience gained was slightly more even when split amongst all five of them.
Ezekiel also noticed that when attacking these swarms it was beneficial for Amaru since there were more targets for consumption to take stats from after their defeat.
With this in mind he decided that introducing Amaru to the others now rather than later was the best course of action, he hadn't really planned to hide his new pet but now it was important to discuss the possibility of the group letting Amaru have the last hits.
"Hey so I want to introduce you guys to someone, during a previous run of the dungeon I actually completed an event and got a unique pet who I had been helping to level up before you got here."
