Well, before I retreated from the area, I was able to do light damage to
it twice. Yet my fight breakdown has me at  short 0/5 and Med 0/11. Of
those 16 attacks I hit it 15/16 doing only light damage twice so I am a
bit confused of the fight breakdown. It should read 0/5 , 2/11. Oh well.

As for the fight after that. Well, I did keep peeking into the area after
I retreated and saw the rest of the fight (and my teammates all go down).
It does seem that the Red Chaos Beetle has a very low cunning. Distraction
L2 worked EVERY time and Vertigo worked almost every time. It ignores
attacks sometimes. Heck I hit it in the head with both my Rapier and a
Spiked L11 Kick and zilcho on damage. The only two light damages I got
were kicks to the torso. And even though it seems slow. It is not. When it
attacks, it attacks like 2 -3 times in succession for very heavy poisonous
damage that slows you.

We shall get it next time!  This creature would be one to use a hate quest
on.
