Mountain Pass is easie than the Underdark

[plasticsoda]

Not only it's easier, but so much shorter. Was Halsin pranking me?

[Morgian]

Yes. Although the githyanki there are harder than the Underdark denizens.

They were actually easier for me, maybe because I was level 5. Was not even going to kill them all, but after I found out what they did to that tiefling near the bridge, I had to put my Oath of vengeance to use

The under dark allows you to skip most of the Act 2 map and gives you a quest to go to the
Last night inn. The mountain pass forces you to join the cult in order to pass through Act 2

I assume he spoke from ignorance or far more likely the story and gameplay dev didnt talk to eatchother.
Cause honestly the mountains where the easiest part of the game.

Seconded. Murdered them all.

Murdered all of the Act 1, all of the Mountain Pass, all of the Act II as well.

Praise be Bhaal!

Halsin didn't say the mountain pass was more dangerous, he said you were further from Moonrise which made the trek in the shadowlands more dangerous. Pretty sure Halsin says the Underdark is dangerous but you come up much closer to Moonrise.

The mountainpass is like one combat encounter if you avoid going to the creche, but the Underdark has multiple boss-like encounters and numerous quests.

Halsin is just a gay bear, you shouldn't listen to what he says.

Skill issue.

And first time issue, before you realize the leaders resurrect back the minions
Then you gang up on leaders (or pick up the goons bodies lol) and it's easy

i don't know it was just another trash mob encounter to me but level 5 vs level 4 is a big difference

Hu? Really? I somehow missed that part. There were only a few spots with Shadows. Nothing too exciting but somehow I did the whole Act II the wrong way anyway found the inn and freed nightlight before finding the tower. Wired Act.

It doesn't, you can just slaughter your way through instead. Or even sneak through if your whole group is sneaky (or use invisibility I suppose). That's how i did it on my last run.

I don't get OP's premise though, because even if going mountain pass, you don't want to miss out on the underdark anyway. Loads of good items, many quests and XP, plus a lot of stuff that ties into Act 3.

Do the underdark and then, if you are inclined, return and travel via mountain pass.
