I am struggling. Only have Shadowheart and my PC at level 3.

spoiler

I killed the priestess inside the silence spell but she managed to walk out and call for help on her last turn.

I then unlocked the underdark but don’t want to explore that yet.

Now I have found the drow and the hobgoblin but they are surrounded by all the minons and I can’t take a fight. SHould I keep exploring? I found the cave below the spiders but haven’t gone in yet, had to restart that save because it was in battle and I yeeted myself off the cliff to avoid more dudes.

I love this game. As a BG1/2 fanboy and an overall hater of turn based games I felt betrayed when Larian got the IP and turned it into a Divinity clone, but I am having so much fun. It is like I am playing 5e by myself. Also talking to all the animals is so great.

    Are you on a challenge run?

    I’m playing on medium (standard) difficulty, but I needed a full party at level 3-4 to clear that entire area. There are parts that are tough due to quantity of opponents, and parts that are tough due to quality of opponents.

    I’m not sure how you’d clear it with only two characters.

        Do you already have Withers in your camp? If so get 2 hirelings in the meantime. They only cost 100 or 200 gold. No reason to stay as 2. I too made a similar mistake and only had 3 party memembers for a big part of Act 1 until I got a hireling. And the game is just balanced around having 4 members in your party. It also doesn’t affect XP.

          I walked around and now I have withers and 4 companions! I think I have done most of the exploring so gonna go try the camp again.
          Still can’t find that tree bark cuz I failed my nature check, but if I really want I can look up the location :(
