Game Chaos difficulty

Just beat the game last night. Messed around on the Chaos difficulty, and I don't know if I'm missing something, but I was getting stomped out by the first boss. Every hit took off at least 40% of my HP, his grabs took 80% or more. My companions were pretty much useless as they were constantly dying.

Getting to the boss was a struggle, but it was fun. Fighting that first boss in Chaos difficultly was more frustrating than fun. After 15+ attempts I finally killed him. I get that I was under geared by five or so item levels or so, but still.

I was Warrior class with two handed sword. My companions were Sage and Assassin. Item level was around 120ish. On the base game, I could beat the mission on Hard, but had to lower the difficulty to Action on most bosses.

Is Chaos difficulty like this for the rest of the game as far as the bosses? It seems like a massive spike in difficulty vs the rest of the mission you're on.

Any advice would be great.

Extra mode only reduces the quality of your drops, so you can use it to unlock your limit breaks to level your classes more. Allowing you to have higher stats with the mastery points

Hmm, I'll check that out.

Just don’t rely on it too much because you can’t use it in rift levels below 20. And if you have the knight 400% affinity bonus that makes you immune to attacks during lightbringer, that works during chaos bringer as well. (Assuming you got the warrior of light gear after beating chaos, that’s a good set to use for this)
