There is too many things that can go Wrong in Nere fight ...
I remember when i was there with my first Barbarian ... perfectly equipped, leveled, whole EA done, this fight was the only thing left ... and it was soooo freaking easy.
My barbarian activated Frenzy and litteraly obliterated those damn Dwarves, there was no round where i didnt kill at least one ...
So i was confident in my second playthrough ... and i get there sooner A LOT sooner.
Lets just say i was obliterated this time.
Shoves, mind controls, quite significant superiority in numbers, and all those extra attacks ...
And to top it all in at least half of my atempts Gnomes joined my enemies, bcs some random gnome run into some random flame on the ground ... that was especialy frustrating.
So ... yeah, agree with JandK ... its dificiult, but doable ... unless you underestimate them.
And if you do ... you are screwed.
