(Unpopular Opinion) The Sasquatch ambushes were my favorite part of Northern Expiditions

I know a lot of people really didn't like the ambushes but to me they were the only part of Canadian difficulty that really felt like a new difficulty level. It's actually a pretty fun fight, I had a good time mastering it and trying to take it on with a lot of different champs as I'm going through Canadian difficulty. I guess it was a result of not really feeling an increase in difficulty from the rest of the quest. It really didn't feel much different from epic level side quests in the past. This was compounded by the fact the actual epic difficulty had no extra nodes like epic quests usually do so it seemed like Canadian was just Epic but with more rewards and epic was closer to master. That isn't bad by itself of course but for end game players really looking for a challenge the Sasquatch fights were pretty much all that there was. I mean the MODOK randomizer style side quests on epic from the past year or so were by far more difficult than the base Canadian difficulty northern expedition.
Learning how to take on new difficult but fair fights is what keeps the game fresh for me and Sasquatch at his base is pretty interesting as an opponent managing his tanraq phase and the big bulky animations of the character I found very satisfying to fight against. The only minor minor complaint I have is that since it is significantly more difficult than the content surrounding it an extra little reward for defeating him like 25k gold or like 400 5 star shards would have been a nice icing on top. I hope for future Cavalier level difficulties there are more fights like the ones on the level of Sasquatch with rewards to match.

That was really helpful as I was able to complete 5.3 using those poutines and maple syrups
I also like being able to play against new champs without nodes. Most of the time I only meet them in the EQ and I’m fighting against the node instead of the champ. I feel like in understand Squatch better than any other new champ at this point.
This was my favorite side quest in a long time.
I’m sorry if you were offended, get mad at me if you want to, but being free to play can’t justify feeling entitled to rewards.
I couldn't afford to spend poutines and maple syrups on the side quest (because my item stash is largely empty) and I needed to push for 5.3 and 5.4, so really that is tge greatest reason why seeing him pop up repeatedly was so annoying but anyway I got everything done so it's all good👍👍👍
There’s a nice middle ground there which I think Kabam missed.

By the end of it, i was able to beat him with all sort of champs.
I thought the Champion fight was too easy.
Northern expeditions were not repetitive enough.
6* chances in cavalier crystals are too high
