ive gone thru this encounter a few times and i agree that it can be a tough fight for sure depending on what lvl you encounter it and your strategic approach - but my frustration with it is that there are largely only two outcomes. 1) the gith knight flies away and you fight, or 2) the gith knight flies away and the remaining patrols scatters to continue their search. i understand that it is ea, but going into that encounter i would have thought that i would have been able to gain some kind of info as to where the gith nest is or what the deal is with the gith artifact, but the concluding dialogue with your party post that encounter regardless of the outcome remains watch the skies and keep looking for the creche - i cant travel back to the creche with the gith patrol or atleast get directions?
has anyone else had any more success in this encounter besides trying to stack boxes and jump the bridge?
If you kill them
the named one drops an item you can use that reveals the location, but it's outside of EA.
