User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Appreciation Week: Goldbeard Ceadeus/@comment-3062343-20130825105017

I definitely find Ceadeus a more fun fight than Jhen, and since the Goldbeard Ceadeus fight skips the first section, I like it even more than the regular. So yeah, I personally find it much better than Hallowed Jhen. My main problem with Goldbeard is probably the fact that its armour is obtainable as soon as you hit G-Rank, and is way better than any other armour available at that point (the blademaster armour, that is, although the gunner is by no means bad), particularly if you use a mix of Helios/Selene X and Z. I also remember being really surprised at how quickly it died the first time I fought it, even when soloing with High-Rank gear.
