Can't beat Yurgir

[nub]

I can't seem to beat him. I even planted bombs to damage the enemy a lot while in stealth mode but I still can't beat him. I might rage quit this game.

Where are you choosing to fight? If you let him come to you they will group up and you can use aoe on his minions effectively. He goes invisible constantly. So you can use rain or aoe to detect his invisibility. I pretty much ignored him until I had all his helpers dead.

A good melee fighter can kill the cat right off the bat.

Leveling up always helps.

How close to 8 are you? 8 gets you a new feat which is very useful.

Karlach gives the best advice on dealing with orthons.

Yurgir was the most anticlimatic fight ever. If you want something else than meaningless ranting, best you share your character sheets.

Whats aoe?

Also how can I level up to 8? Are there ways to level up before I try to beat Yurgir?

Area of Effect -- things that splash damage or conditions (like a thrown water bottle causing 'wet') will remove the invisibility if the hidden creature is within the AoE.

Why not just help him out?

Do I get the XP for helping him out? And how do I help him out?

[DarkArcanum]

aoe - area of effect. ex. the spell Fireball

In a lot of places if a fight is too much it's not a bad idea to backtrack and explore. You can usually find easier fights or quests that might give you the experience you need.

You can also kill him without needing to fight given the right dialogs/classes! Try initiating the conversation with Wyll, warlocks get specal dialogs I think. Bards do as well.

Different amount of XP, not sure what the difference is. If you enter the area by following the displacer beast it should trigger the cut scene where you get dialogue. From there you should be able to work out a way to try and help him. There are several of these, but my favorite is actually getting him to stop hearing the song.

There really are a lot of ways to handle Yurgir and this isn't the only fight like that. If you are dead set on fighting him and killing him 'm sure there are ways to get the jump on him in which case you could play with pre set ups to fights, positioning, etc. I admit I have not gone this route in any of my runs yet.

If you take the dialogue route then there are a bunch of outcomes that range from fighting everything to nothing at all. Play around with your answers and if there are dialogue checks you see that you can't pull off then switch to a character that can if you think it will lead you in a direction you might like more.

Oh, and talking your way out of a fight usually still nets you some good experience.

Your party may be wrong. Your builds may be wrong. Your tactics may be wrong. Your skills used may be wrong. Everything may be wrong.

Who knows, zero information has been provided other than whatever is being done is wrong.
