So I potioned my way through to getting the Black (Azura's) Star. The three guys who fireball you at the start took up over half my potions, but I got rid of them in the end. The final guy? Didn't even need to heal. Killed him in seconds. xD Crazy. Oh, and I fought the Death Overlord and beat him pretty easily, too. It's amazing how we all have such different experiences in this game!

Of course, I am around level 38 or something, so yeah.
