is there ANY way to get to seluine temple without having to fight the entire ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ goblin encampment?

My party's stats dictate I should have only a little trouble with wiping the goblin camp, but

Has had me reloading before the attempt. Even when summoning the 3 ogres to help, they miss every other attack and the goblins crit them to dust.

I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate this type of ♥♥♥♥ in games. I need a way to get into the underdark to go to moonrise but the RNG, as always, is the biggest enemy and for me it's unrelenting.


INB4: telling me to kite them onto the bridge, telling me to stealth (because holding shift is supposed to tell you enemy sight lines but lol no, they still aggro if you don't touch the red area), etc. Am I just not able to do this quest that way in this playthrough because I made the rookie mistake of not being psychic or wanting to read 5 steps ahead in some walkthrough?

You can actually approach it from the roof, and blast an opening in at the top to skip them if you want, or use the high ground advantage to kill them all as another option.

Or save Sassa in the druid grove and she will take you to the drow which allows you to walk in pretty easy.

Or as was said be a drow and walk in like you own the place.

Again, I already did the "kill the leaders" quests. Being a Drow doesn't help after that.

Easiest way is to be a drow and casually walk there, while everyone in your way apologises for being there.

If it's after the Minthara fight, there are other ways into the underdark.

Sorry for spoil, but if you have trouble with camp - I guess none of us can imagine level of your emotions when you see that beholder guy down there.

Talk your way in. Like, seriously. The Persuasion check is about 10.
Stealth / Invisibility
Have goblin from drood camp escort you
Use Illusions to change into a Drow
Use Illithid Powers
Use jump / featherfall to enter from the upper door that you have to break, sneak through the rafters into Granny's room and beat her ogre.
Enter through Underdark

Man I was only level 3 when I completely owned the Goblin camp, I even went back after and cleaned up the last few groups for the xp / money.

All those fights were really easy, the toughest fight so far for me was the gnoll group near the chest you need to return for the thieves guild.

Kinda like the opposite of your performance in this thread.

Yeah. You can either just convince them you're part of the Absolute's faithful and get by in a friendly way. Or you can sneak around most of the enemies by going around the side entrance (not the main gate, you have to sneak to the side then climb a ladder and blow up a wall) and using the rafters and such to get inside - though this requires more stealth.

If you already have fought and tried to kill them, then obviously they won't be friendly, but you can avoid most of them anyway.

I already got in, killed the leaders, and as the game suggested, went back to the grove or whatever. THEN, Haslin is like "oh ya lol you can go back to goblin city if you wanna take this path"
.

I did the same thing in my early access run, and the best way back is to walk there from the village checkpoint (not the goblin area checkpoint), sneak around the side path before the big bridge leading into the goblin camp, kill the guard at the top of the first ladder, then use stealth to sneak up the ladder leading to the upper section (you can climb the wall then jump behind another guard, as long as you jump far enough away he won't hear you - or you could kill that guard also).

Then once up top, you can kill or sneak past the sleeping folks up there (if there are any left), and use smokepowder bombs or such to blow open a big hole in the wall.

From there, you can sneak through the inner sanctum more easily to your destination.

It's not that easy to do, but it is what it is. You can also just fight the Goblins (I did that in my current run), but you'll need bombs and good positioning or the like to fight so many at once.

with the Hobgoblin boss i summoned the ogres, had to fight like 15 guys but most of the goblins are one shots. I had me a Druid, Astarion, Lae and Wyll who i changed to vengeance Pala cos i dont like Warlock. Helped have 2 two-handers but it was fairly easy with the ogres, this is on normal

There are several ways to get through that camp, including killing the majority of goblins with cheap tactics. Like poison. Honestly I had such a smooth run through that place that I'm surprised I walked away from it with my Paladn's oath unbroken and I've done quit a few things there.

You can bluff your way into the camp, kill the Priestess sneakily in her chapel, then kill her Ogre guard and enter the Selunite outpost without ever aggro'ing the camp. As long as you don't kill Dror Razglin, the camp will not aggro on sight.

There are plenty of other ways to enter the Underdark as well. Some may involve feathfall and jumping down a hole, or require fighting a relatively tough boss(fair fight at level 4 if you have a decent party, you'll stomp it at level 5 tho).

You can not gonna spoil but i 100% think it is possible and without alot of issues. Diplomacy will take you a long way...

You can multiclass Wyll as a Vengeance Paladin/Warlock which is an insanely good combo. 3 levels in Warlock for Pact of the Blade and level 2 Warlock spell slots. Respec the stats to focus Charisma and Constitution since Pact of the Blade will scale his melee damage off of Charisma, and you can choose any weapon as a pact weapon and gain proficiency with it, or summon a pact weapon.

You get a Paladin with short rest spell slots, Eldritch Blast(take the Invocation that adds Charisma modifier to Eldtrich Blast damage) as an insanely useful Cantrip, and very efficient stat spread. 3 Warlock > rest of game Paladin is a good spread.
