I hear ya Raze, but I have already cleared the tunnels, collected the talismans, reward, etc. Actually did that before I went to Lovis tower. And you say Level 9, I'm 99% positive they are higher than me and I'm a 10 currently. Maybe I'm confusing them with the group I ran into with the sargent, but regardless, multiple mobs in Div 1 was nothing compared to this game...not even close.
Like the troll cave in the first game for example, it was tough, and took a few tries, but normal progression of the game took you there, and it was relatively beatable no matter which build type I took in there.
