I disagree... You don't actually fight any mind flayers or dragons, only imps which as far as I know are relatively low level challenge.
I expressed my opinion about companion levels many times, but the short version of it is - they are not as powerful as they claim to be or want you to perceive them.
Yeah thats the first problem, was in hell only fought imps, LUCKY
was on mindflayer legendary ship, no high level guards, LUCKY
