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.
Head back towards the Nautiloid and see who else is around. Don’t be afraid to click on stuff. You’ve missed at least 3 potential companions already!
Why is it only you and Shadowheart?
By the time you get to the goblin camp, you should have encountered Asterion, Gale, Wyll, and Lae’zel.
Companion Locations
The first two are near the crashed Nautiloid (tentacle ship), before the goblin fight in front of the grove. Asterion to the west of the ship, Gale to the east at the fast travel point. Wyll is easy to miss, but he’s training the tiefling kids inside the druid grove. And Lae’zel got herself trapped by tieflings, south of the grove, should be on the way to the goblin camp.
Maybe they failed the strength check to save Gale and didn’t reload thinking they’d see him again. I’m still angry about this. One stupid failed roll less than an hour in… I’m 50 hours in and haven’t seen him.
If you talk to Minthara, you can bait her into ::: spoiler assaulting the grove, at which point you can help the tieflings defend it. :::
You’re also a bit under-leveled and should have a full party by now! Do some more exploring and don’t try to rush the main quest, even if the game makes it sound super urgent.
Did you poison the beer at the back of the area? If you do that then most of them die off and the rest are at low health.
I may have two advices: don’t talk to the Drow if you want to clear the Goblin camp anyway.
If the enemies are too many and too strong (as the Hobgoblin and his brood) avoid an open battle.Sorry for not getting clearer but you wanted it spoiler-free.
Is it by choice that you are only a party of 2?
Have you found Halfin the Druid yet? 😉
I’m impressed it’s only the two of you at that level. Are you having trouble finding the others, or are you intentionally going at it as a duo?
