I got here a few days ago, and tried several times to enter the towers with theharpers and fists army, but got wiped out every time.
I managed to sneak around and enter through a side door, the chambers here are empty, but the only passage not going through the central hall with the entire absolute's army that I found, was a staircase down. At the foot of the stairs there was another heavy fight, but this one I could win. Severely depleted in spells and hitpoints.
So I wanted to sneak out the same way I came, back to the waypoint and go for a long rest.
But when emerging from the side of the tower, in the square before the gate, we now were in the line of sight of the enemy, so they attacked immediately.
It looks like all the harpers and fists were killed and the baddies had advanced to just before the gate and so they saw us, whereas on entry they were further down the hall and so we passed unnoticed to the side.
I'm desperate now. I don't see any way to win this. I've used speed, invisibility, my best AoE spells, hold person, silence etc... on the baddies. There are just too many of them.
If this was on the hard mode, okay, but this is no fun anymore.
Did Larian actually test play this ?
