Yerp. I give up. I tried everything I could think of to either take out the ghasts, or avoid the instant-death on medium...but nothing worked. This is what I feel is a cheap mechanic.

Antvenom, same. I keep dying to the ghast's combined attack. According to the hint section, it cannot be survived. I wondered why some of the ghasts didn't attack me on their own as well.

Yeah. It feels like something is wrong here. If you could kill the ghasts, everything would make sense, as it would just be a mechanic you'd have to manage.
The issue too is their attack happens way too fast. Maybe the redstone lagged badly on the computers it was tested on, but for me, i die within 2ish minutes.

It's a time mechanic, which certainly does put the pressure on. Original beta feedback requested that the ghasts be a fair threat to the player, so now they are. I am personally not a huge fan of timers, but on hard mode, I usually get a time of 130-140 while the ghasts insta-kill at 175.
If you find it too limiting, you are welcome to make hard mode easier by using this command in the arena before the blaze has spawned:
/scoreboard players set GhastMod Count 1000
The default value is 35 on hard mode; each ghast spawns after 35 boss ticks and the player is killed after the fifth such spawn.
I'll take into consideration the feedback, though, as I hope to release another map in this series before the new year!

The Ghasts are Invulnerable and have no AI as far as I can tell. That means they cannot be killed in any way and there is nothing to do about them. I feel like you're timed to kill the Blaze before they attack, but if that's the case then why isn't there a timer somewhere? Especially even if you can control the time of day and everything.
I just updated the map to be a bit more... forgiving. Try V1.1 if you like, and I hope you have fun!

Be sure to report back with that hard mode best time!

EDIT because the editor sucks.

Gratz on the first recorded hard mode kill! Glad you enjoyed.
How is the map now, more "forgiving"? Does it just give you more time before the attack?
