Why are you trying the Matriarch fight as level 2, even?
I'm not sure I understand you're question here. As the player, you have no idea how tough any new encounter will be. You don't even know if there even will be an encounter?? The first thing I found in my game was find the druid grove, and they told me to kill the Goblins, then in the first part of the Goblin camp there was a water well which leads you to an underground cave with the Matriarch spider.
I must have missed the sign on the well that reads, "hey, you're too low level for this fight, come back later!"

Yeah, it seems really silly that you are assuming everyone else has also played this EA multiple times.. and expect others to know how to build and equip their characters. Actually, I don't think I even have anything to equip them with?? Besides a couple of minor magic items that mostly do nothing in combat.
I've also just accepted the default\recommended stats and spells. So they should definitely not be built incorrectly.

You don't see a problem with the fact you have to already know all the encounters, what levels you should be for what encounters, and know how to properly build out your characters. And have access to items I've yet to even see?
