Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Any tips on how to prevent being Outleveled?

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have tips on how to prevent being outleveled by mobs?
Nothing went wrong in the first area of the game.
But the second area I am currently level 10 and on the verge of hitting level 11 on all characters.

But I am fighting level 13 mobs already (Those immaculates).
And the outside map looks to be level 14+ (Spiders).
And on the bottom side of the map (Orcs) seems to be around level 12.

Any tips where best to proceed leveling up a bit? I am currently thinking on venturing down towards the orcs and see how things work out there before going back.

You have missed a part.

SPOILER: First find and defeat the drunk goblins to the northeast of town. There's a trail there full of traps, where you will find a remove barrier scroll. You might have to dig a mound up there or it's in a chest.

Then find the witches hut somewhere south of the town. Use the scroll and go inside, and there's a path leading into a cavesystem. This will lead you to mobs around your level. Tip: get Tornado spell to remove ice so you wont trip all the time.

Wow! Thanks for the tip. I did visit the Witches Hut, but a barrier was erected there and I couldnt get inside. The questlog told me to find some mage guy who could undo the barrier.

I guess I have been looking at the wrong place to find the mage guy!

Thanks, I know how to advance 'properly' now! It's very easy to miss things in this game haha

You just could have killed the mushrooms instead...

Poor Mushrooms! I finished their little quiz haha ;-)
