Did anyone else here have trouble with Zagan? Or is this a bug?

Hello, people.

In the quest of High Hall, I was supposed to kill off this flying demon called Zagan. I was level 32 when I faced him. He was at the low 20s level. The demons that I killed before him were an absolute breeze, as I was overleveled. But when I faced him, I died several times. It was weird. He was spamming this certain ranged attack on me and my massive health bar, which was 1200+, got decimated easily. When he did it, it made a very loud and weird sound. It didn't sound natural. It sounded like it was some sort of computer error, or something. It's hard to explain. It was like listening to a piece of music that plays and replays the same exact moment of sound every 1/10th of a second.

I used to play the original Ego Draconis and never had issues with Zagan there. Did the DKS/Developers version change this for the worse or something? Or is this just a bug in my game?

I managed to kill him off by maxing out my dragon shield ability and spamming healing potions and rejuvenating potions. But still, the fact that I had to rely on those AT LEVEL 32 makes the whole thing very, very unusual.

So is this a bug? Or is this normal?

This section was changed to be a lot tougher in DKS. In D2:ED I could just sit in place spamming fireballs, being attacked but not take any damage (wasn't that much higher in level), but in DKS had to leave it until a higher level (killed Zagan in the low 20s, but couldn't clear the rest of the cave, so reloaded rather than skip them, since you can not return there).
I killed Zagan without needing to fly to the exit to transform, but using hit and run tactics there was the only way I could clear the rest of the cave (Zagan tips[www.larian.com]).

The sound and Zagan's attack doing that much damage was likely a bug, though. There is a known issue where bosses can have a fast, overpowered attack (Ba'al. The Impossible foe?[www.larian.com]). Most commonly it happens with Ba'al, Laiken or the flying fortress generals, but IIRC it has happened with Zagan once or twice.
