All my characters are at level 4, I have not gone to the Goblin Camp yet but i have tried and tried to win at the Whispering Spiders and the Hag, I can not beat any of them. I watch some videos of guys who have done those and they make it look so easy, i cant figure out what im doing wrong or what, im at a loss, i wish there was a difficulty bar to adjust or something cause im just not able to win at either of them maps.
Any help or tips what not would be appreciated, thanks!
Maybe obvious, but firstly make sure your characters are using the right weapons(important for melee mainly though). Light and finesse weapons for DEX fighters (rogue/ranger) and STR weapons for any character using STR (at this point most likely fighters only). Also make sure that your character is proficient with the weapons/armour it's wearing or wielding, this is a big issue that is easily overlooked. For some reason my ranger (DEX) wasn;t proficient with scimitars, but was with shortswords.
Same goes for casters, make sure your casters have as high casting stats as possible. This should be easy.
Then some staples; use the environment.Push anything off of everything and let anything fall on everybody.
Drop candles/rotched and dip weapons for added fire damage, same goes for poison.
Casting; IMO Mobility(mainly Misty Step)>AoE Thunder spells>Buffs>Burst Spells>Healing spells.
Is an encounter hard, work with hiding. Try to force advantage as much as possible whenever you can.
Also; try not to be a lootgoblin, actually use your consumables in battles. Most are very abundant and easily to obtain (potions and arrows etc.)
Plan your encounters ahead and save before them. It's a strategically demanding game. Going nilly-willy even into a group of goblins can be a TPK if your rolls go south/your resources are depleted.
Hope it helps.
