I'm about 45 hours in right now and My party is Lvl 4. It's been a lot of run and not TOO difficult up until today. Then Just following the various story threads, I came across the
and thought it was nigh on impossible (of course they were Lvl 5 so not totally surprised). I did end up beating them with a LOT of work and once I remembered I had that
special horn that called in three big friends
. But even then 2 of my party went down before I finished them all off. Then I started to go to a new area and it said I would find it "bitterly difficult" at my level. Okay, I realized there was some area down south I hadn't explored yet. Stumbled into the whole
and even though I did what I thought was some clever sneaking, exploring, etc. once I got to the
final part of her lair with the girl in the cage
once again I very quickly gave up. Now again, I'm only Lvl 4 and everything I'm encountering is Lvl 5 so I figure I've just hit it too early even the questlines led me there. There's still other questlines I could explore that will take me west, but I'm just trying to figure out why it hadn't seemed so difficult until today and suddenly it was like a nightmare. Just bad luck on part as far as where I decided to go and what I decided to check out?
BTW I spend a TON of time exploring and trying to think of solutions to puzzles and such so that's likely why I'm Lvl 4 at 45 hours in. Today just felt like a total grind the entire time I was playing. I thought I'd see if anyone had any insight. I'll keep exploring and see if I can find other things going on that don't feel impossible for me! Thanks!
