I didn't have a hard time with anything except the 3 dragonslayers outsice Maxos Temple. I was level 11 at the time and they were 13. I still beat them after i used every potion. And when i got to the Dragon, I was level 12 and he was 13. I kicked his ass when he was in human form. Also, I dont know where to go after i free the guy in the tower. I cant open one chest because my lockpicking sucks. I sold Amdusias' helmet cause its a lvl 19. My char is pretty bad ass looking for level 13. I found the fortune teller and the enchanter in the woods and the mine. Do i go to the Fjords now?
