So, at first I killed Priestess Gut. I freed Halsin. I poisoned the booze. But still. Hordes of goblins come to attack me. I thought I did it in the wrong order or something, so I went back and freed Halsin and this time I had him on my team to make it easier. Doesn't matter. Hordes of goblins. I don't know what to do and it's stressing me out. How do I kill all three goblin leaders without being outnumbered every time? How far should I go back in the save so I don't get every goblin hostile on me? Before I save Halsin?

Please. Just give me an order to do things so I can get this done.

I didn't know you could poison the goblins laugh another thing I need to try. But what I can say is, almost all battles in the game are uphill battles and you will always be outnumbered, so better get used to it. The goblin camp is quite doable on tactician, just make sure you are at a decent level (4 works very well), use everything you have and make sure you are in a good position. Using the environment, elevation differences, surface effects and so on is an important part of the game. And remember you can take long rests after every fight. I did Minthara first, Gut second and Dror last.

Yes, what Jones76 said: better get used to it. But also know that there are many ways to approach a seemingly impossible battle. Make use of potions. Make use of the environment. Get the enemy bunched together somewhere, spread out your party. For example, Dror and his minions can be toast with only one shot, or one throw of a burning candle, if you take note of the abundance of explosive and flammable barrels in the goblin compound. In general: try to be creative, try radically different ways of solving a problem. Discovering tactics for yourself can be very gratifying.

All three of the leader locations are relatively self contained. Follow Glut to her room and close the door. Take out Minthara quickly and take out the floating eye first. Go through the door on the right for Dror and close both doors. Also I climb up the ladder and take out Dror and the others from up top.

I make sure I unlock the waypoint in the Underdark first and save the Dror fight for last after doing everything I want to do in the camp. Then just fast travel out of there. I do go back and clean it out later.

You can do other cheese tactics creative things such as stacking crates behind a door so enemies can't get in or are at least delayed.
There's always YT videos for ideas.

Where do these hordes of goblins come from? Sounds strange as there are no spawns of new enemies in the game. I would do the goblin camp at lvl 4. I enter the temple through the damaged wall on the elevated area (where the goblins are sleeping). So there is no dialogue check and no chance of hostility.

Then I

1. Kill the goblins near the prisoner
2. Free Volo
3. Lure Gutt into her room and kill her followers.
4. Kill the huge troll (?) guardian past Gutt's room an get me the fast travel point in the Underdark.
5. Kill Dror Ragslin and his followers.
6. Long rest
7. Kill the halfling dealer (skipped that in release, or are they gone?)
8. Kill Minthara and her followers
9. Kill the Goblins in the dungeon and free Halsin.
10. Fast travel to the Blighted Village, hike back and attack the goblins in the open area of the camp from the direction of the bridge, easy.
