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.
So I’m not sure what your character is class wise. But if they’re good at sneaking and ranged attacks there’s a way to get into the rafters above the Hobgoblin. Attack and immediately go into hiding. Rinse, lather, repeat. IF they do come out and chase you the platform that you have to get up to get to the rafters has only 2 ladders up. So you could use Shadowheart to push off (or at least try).
