Too underleveled for act 3 ?

[Gimly]

Hello everyone !
So, actually, i'm in the beginning of the act 3 and i'm approximetely at the lvl 8.6. But i see a lot of people are at the lvl 9. So, am i too underleveled for the act 3 ? Do you think it's a better to reload and clean all the Moonrise Tower ?

PS : i'm on the easier mod and it's my first playthrough.

Thanks for your answer !

You can be even 10 lvl in the beggining of the act 3. But this is not a problem. I reach max lvl in the middle of 3rd act. It was really stupid. Too many exp.
Play as you want. If you killed Mirkull's chosen without any big problems, you will be fine.

Won't be a problem on easy difficulty if you had no problem before.

Act 3 has a ton of excess experience, so you'll be level 12 in no time. Moreover, even if combat is too hard, you can pretty easily get experience through non-combat quests to get to the "correct" level.

You're fine. Avoid the major boss and companion end-of-arc plotlines in the beginning and just enjoy the city -- plenty to do. You'll get to L12.

This game isn't DOS2, where being one level higher makes a previously no-flipping-chance fight become possible.

Don't get me wrong, leveling is a big deal in 5e, and yes, unlocking L6 spells is a proper boost. But you won't run into a brick wall starting Act 3 at Level 8. You just might want to avoid the big bads and the 'radar is always red' (can't fast travel / can't go to camp) places.

Technically, you can beat the game on Honour Mode solo at lvl 1, so it all depends on how you want to approach things.
