Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General What level should you be to fight the Death Hearders

Also is there a secret to beating them.
I am at level 5 and they murder me everytime.

You mean at Rosymorn Monastery?

Level 5 is high enough. There's no real trick, just concentrate on the death shepherds first. Take them down as quickly as possible because they raise the other undead back.

It's hard to give specific advice without knowing what party you're using, what equipment you have, etc.

Ah, that battle-first did this on a co-play with split screen and we stumbled through it with lots of eldritch blast etc. Then I watched my wife do a solo play and for this battle she cast Hunger of Hadar where the conjured dudes had to pass through it - they really got bogged down in it which allowed her to focus on the Death Shepherds and the battle was fairly easy then her Karloch beat the crap out of them.

Thank you Ecc2ca for not trashing me because I called them Death Hearders and not shepards.
Had this been the steam forum there would have been 20 or more posts calling me stupid or a troll for not getting the name correct.
The maturity level between this forum and that one is unbelievable.
Also thank you for all the replies and hints

Never go to Steam forums for big games, it's a cesspit. Smaller game forums can be awesome though.

No worries, I didn’t even remember what they were called! In tough fights I sometimes lean on the “sanctuary” spell and healing potions. So you use “sanctuary” to make sure that no one can attack your character, then heal them up to full health, then begin again. It’s gotten me out of some extremely tight spots, I have to say.

I finally beat them.
Sorta cheated as I went back to the underdark and got all the cool weapons.
Went back to the fight and went in heavy.

This isn’t cheating as Underdark is supposed to be done before Mountain pass.

Mountain pass is supposed to be the final zone before Act 2 that’s why you get a warning that quests are going to progress when you go to the mountain pass but you don’t get such warning from going to Underdark

you get a warning because going to the mountain pass will cause certian druid vs goblin quests to atuo finish in ways you may not like

as for this battle, they are undead and there is a very powerful weapon that you can get from this area will help with that... also yes kill them first and ignore the peons

Thanks,
pretty inexperienced when it comes to DnD,the lore and this game.
I may ask dumb questions that's because I just don't know.
I came here because it seems more adult of all the forums.
