In the process, I ended up waking several packs of cows. Darn it! I'd lost the initiative.

One annoying thing about cows is that they seem to have a similar AI to gargantuans. Once they see you, they'll keep coming after you relentlessly even after you blind them, so the only way to stop them once they see you is to cast bone prison on them.

I found a "minion" cow, but where was the King?

Ah, there he was! He finally separated himself from the pack.

I bone prisoned the King and did my best to keep Dim Vision on the normal cows. A third boss was in the area (Blood Fist the Impaler, Extra Strong, Stone Skin, Magic Resistant, Immune to Physical), so I bone prisoned him in with the King (see the screenshot above).

I took the opportunity to take some shots at the King. By the time I'd taken off about a quarter of his life, though, I started getting really nervous. The King and Blood Fist were slowly chopping their way through the bone prisons toward me and despite all my attempts to keep the normal cows back, they were creeping up on me from both directions. Like I said above, if Dim Vision ran out on a cow and the cow saw me, the only way to stop it was to cast bone prisons on it. My potential escape routes were clogging up, cows were slowly advancing on me, and I wasn't sure that I could kill the King in one trip even if I got a chance to try. If I got pushed back to the red portal, I'd have to escape through it and restart the game.

So before my escape route on the left side closed, I threw up some extra bone prisons around the King and booked it up the left side. I then drew a large pack of cows to the corner where I had parked the first two cow bosses. Again, I wasn't trying to clear out every cow. I just wanted to "thin the herd" around the King's corral.
