Stuck in Shadow Cursed Lands

[v.aurimas91]

So, in the Last Light Inn, I talked with Jeheira and then went to talk with Isobell. She gave my party the buff, which supposed allows us to travel through the shadow cursed lands and reach Moonrise Towers, however, I lost the fight to Marcus, so now, everyone's dead. And I cannot go anywhere past the shadow veil, because my party gets killed by the curse. Everywhere else, I've lifted the fog of war from the mini-map, and the only places that I can go is either back to the first map (to find the creche or something), the tollhouse, healer's house and moonrise towers, which, all of these places, kill my party due to the curse. Suggestions?

Haven't met the drider with the moon lantern?

[Ironwu]

You need to get an operational Lantern. Not as convenient as the buff, but will work.

[MewTressym]

Unable to get the moon lantern from the drider Karniss?

Huh, I guess if Isobel gets captured then it's basically a game over if that's the case.

So, reload a prior save I suppose and consider losing the fight as a game over.

u need an item to go in the deep shadows (not 100% of the map is deep shadows) ans you need an encounter at the early u go in that map:
find arpists when u enter the map from grymforge and do the ambush to kill the drider or if u have the minthara lyre u can play it and the drider will appear, he's got the item u need

[Lunatic Pathos]

Get the Spider Lyre from Minthara, use it to summon Kar'niss, use his lantern.

The fight to save Isobel is extremely difficult first time blind since almost all the enemies make a beeline for her to kill her. Unfairly so IMHO. And losing this battle is very bad news indeed. I would strongly suggest you reload and save Isobel. It's not hard with the benefit of hindsight, there are several ways to do it. I honestly think that's what the devs intended you to do. It's basically a puzzle battle where you can't possibly know what the puzzle is, never mind the solution, in advance.

Following the suggestions to reload a save prior to the fight, id stack up what you can against some of the doors to narrow down where the enemies can come in at, boom, simple fight. However, if you havent gotten the moonlantern from the drider, then i guess its kinda, game over like you said?

I haven't even met the bloke no where. I'm no noticing that there's a portion of fog of war still present on the mini-map, gonna explore there.

Regarding lantern's, I've gotten a broken one (?), which does not work (the narrator tells that you do not know how to work it or something).

Well, if that does not work, I guess, I just lost couple of hours of game time. Great.

You'll find him in the Shadow-Cursed Lands arriving from the Mountain Path

I had a high AC cleric standing next to her with Spirit Guardians active and healing her when needed.
Made the encounter rather easy.

I'm guessing you entered from the Underdark. If you enter from Mountain Pass, you will run into some NPCs that can assist. As long as you have the Harp (Orange Quest Item).

[MewTressym]

Suggestion if you do re-do the Isobel kidnapping fight:

Use Sanctuary on Isobel after each of her actions. Makes it impossible for enemies to target her. Makes it a lot more fair fight for you. It will disappear when she acts again because Isobel has the survival instincts of a deer on the Autobon.

Follow the path from right to left, you'll meet the drider along the way

Yes, I emerged from the Grymforge. Actually, I went to the mountain pass entrence in shadow lands (I guess, it's that area, from where you'd emerge, because iit's marked as gythianki creche quest) a while ago (cause I did not have anywhere else to go in shadow lands), and apart from couple dead gythanki, there were no one else there. No cut-scene was triggerred; and I've done everything that I could have done, and gathered everything I could have gotten in the first map. *Shrugs*
