Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Enhanced Edition some tips on how to proceed (no spoilers plz!!)

Hi,

i'm playing my very first playthrough of dosEE.

My party is now somewere around lvl 16.
i'm at the phantom forest just after the tree with the poison (i have the amulet already).

My problem is now that wherever i go my party gets wiped out.

The knights tomb the statues wipe me out.
Death knights wipe me out before i can use the spell.
Where can i go to lvl up a bit?

The village is still in tackt (no orc killings yet)
Maybe i should go back and take care of the spider queen, but she was to stong also.

I think i "screwed" my party up by wrong skills,attributes,...

My weapons seems low damage compared to the enemy.
I "cheat saved" myself through a lot of charming and "skipped" fights by sneaking past them.

I can start all over again, but i would like to finish the game first before doing that.

So some tips are welcome, but keep the spoilers to the bare minimum please.

I'd go back and do the fights you skipped if possible since this game doesn't do random encounters. From my experience those stone giants would 1 hit KO my members. I remember charming one (and getting one to attack it) and teleporting another away from the fight to focus on just one worked for me, but dunno what you're working with.
