People have a lot of trouble with the first Strayborough Deadwalk boss, but there's actually a pretty simple way to control the minions. The first time the minions move they target the furthest player, then they target the closest, so ranged jobs can control them like this.
"Yoshi says that the trick for the first boss of The Strayborough Deadwalk is to just not be greedy. Avoid them but stay focused!"
I love this so much.
