***Potential Spoilders*** Best way to deal with Goblin Camp.

[balkroth]

So its time to kill the Goblins and side with the Druids. But my question is whats the best way to attack?

Do I defend the camp and let the goblins assault their base? Do I attack the goblins on there ground? If I do that do I go outside to the inside?, or inside their base to the outside? Is there any nifty tricks that can be done? Or anything else of note before I do start killing them? I should note that I've rescued Halsin the chief druid.

As always thanks in advance.

Barrels. Lots and lots of barrels.

Or alternatively you could go up top, break through the wall, and assassinate everyone from the interconnected rafters, scaffolding, and ledges.

disguise yourself as a Drow and kill the leaders

[mitchincredible]

I tend towards just deceiving my way around and offing the bosses then fighting my way out

I've heard cooler ways of going about it, but I like to get dialogue and story

When I saved Halsin He stayed with me and helped me fight the goblins inside until I killed all 3 leaders. Then he took off. The rest of the goblins were pretty easy to take out.

If you haven't killed them already you can get those ogre mercs for backup near the camp in the raided village and just straight up fight your way through with them.

I pretty much did that but from inside after killing the drow leader.

I've heard you can side with them but then start killing them *in the middle of the assault on the druids* and the game will acknowledge it... but I haven't tried it.

I walked up to the High Priestess.

Wyll said let's kill these goblins.

I agreed.

Killed goblin leaders one by one.

Did not rescue Halsin before fighting.

Did not use my ogre horn. Would have made fight so much easier.

Did not speak to any of the goblin leadership except a few words to High Priestess.

So you have killed the liders already right?
If you can, before you kill that lider in the chair when all the camp goes hostil, go outside and put poison in the drinks to kill a lot of them

If you killed the liders, the globins wont attack nobody, so you can just fast travel to leave the camp or clean it. To do the last one I recommend the poison, than finish the outside, and then go to the inside and clean them all

[keela]

ALSO, if you are really motivated and in the hardest difficulty, you can steal some explosive barrils from a closed room with 2 guards inside the camp. Then you put were you want and explodes!!
I killed the stronger lider one shot only with barrils, I put all around him xDDD

[Red Shirt]

After you rescue Haslin and he tasks you with killing the leaders you can sneak around and kill all the leaders. Three fights that are mid-level difficulty. After that all the remaining goblins lose a lot of their health. They were buffed before apparently. Alternatively you can load the place up with explosive barrels and blow everything up. Also, if anyone in your group has wildshape you can transform into a spider and chase goblins off.

Get there from the risen road. there is a broken bridge. Jump or misty step. take them all from above. Or kill the Tieflings. I love Minthara.

[Ratch]

If you aren't clearing the Goblin Camp before starting the Grove battle then you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up. You completely skip the battle if you kill every Goblin in the Camp. Blighted Village is skippable.
If you skip the Grove entirely (except Aradin forced interaction) and clear the Camp first, Arabella dies to Kagha.

So it's best to stop by the Grove, save Arabella then leg it to the Camp and kill everyone past the bridge. I'm on my like, tenth trip through the game.

Easiest path I know is to kill leaders in camp.

Get priestess to go to her quarters. Position melee next to her, ranged and especially casters a bit away. Cast silence on her so she can't call for help. Murder her on the spot.
If you want to go the underdark route afterwards, proceed into her back chambers, deal with ogress and puzzle, go down to selunite outpost and get waypoint, then head back to goblin camp.

then go deal with drow

Finally deal with bugbear.

After beating bugbear don't leave his room, loot everything there and the treasure in the back then fast travel back to grove.

Boom, quest done and you can just not deal with the goblin horde at all. A real assassination mission.

Yahtzee talked about that in his review, and how he save scummed.

"One thing I swiftly learned was that whenever negotiation broke down and a conversation turned into combat, I would usually get a lot of little goblin-sized bootprints all over my buttocks because deceiving and weaselling out of combat only worked often enough to make me completely bloody unprepared for the unavoidable fights. The winning strategy in such cases was to reload a save and try to cheat as much as possible. Which wasn’t great for immersion. There was no in-universe reason why Mortimer would drag an explosive barrel into the middle of a group of not yet hostile NPCs. “Don’t mind me, just thought this would look nice here, my goodness, your leader’s making a jolly interesting speech, why don’t you keep paying attention to that while I go over there and check on that thing that’s just inside firebolt range.”

ive done all 3 options and by far the most fun i had was sneaking around and kiling gut and dor ragzlin in the camp and then fighting minthara at the grove.
