New quest from last nights update? Wicked brutal

Ok I just installed the patch, my game progress was at 98% and reset to 0% where I had to start over but kept all my skills and items. So I am in Vern doing quests and just got a request to stop the corruption NE of the city in the woods at night. Odd, don't remember this... My characters are both 85 level. So I finally get there and it is a DEATH GORE CHIMERA ... glowing red... summoning red goblins who are almost ghost like. Honestly I could not damage this thing... this amount of lightning and seisem spells were constant. Retreated after 2 pawn deaths and might nearly 4 times.

So is this new? This battle ripped my party to hell and I am high tier gear, maxed vocations, skills (I love the addition of 2 new skills to use!)
