I finished it very quickly after the developers fixed the final boss battle and announced that finishing it would be required to get the Raven's Cove Quest, a decision that has since been rescinded. I love doing the final boss battle and did it many times in potco and have done it 3 times in tlopo. I would have taken more time to complete it had I known how things would transpire but I feel it's no big deal. The quest is not designed to be finished in a day, yes it's tedious if you do it in large chunks, it's best to do it a bit at a time. I still love the Pearl Quest, it is classic potco. It sends you all over the map and is great for learning the game.
