The Bugmaster in of himself isn't that big of a threat to a well-armored and experienced party, despite his extremely high stats and meitou Desert Saber.
What is the real challenge, however, is the road to reach him. Navigating through the canyons of Arach and getting past the apocalyptic number of squads of Skin Spiders patrolling the way to his base is usually what can wipe out even the toughest end-game parties, since they can eat humanoid player characters alive when they are knocked down.
The solution: bring skeletons! A small party with stats above 60+ with end-game gear; all wearing Masterwork/Specialist armor with Morn wielding an Edgewalker 3 Staff, Agnu with an Edgewalker 2 Desert Saber, Burn with an Edgewalker 3 Paladin's Cross... and Sadneil with his fists of justice!
The song played is: Akachi from Mask of the Betrayer
