Githyanki Creche or Underdark first?

[slquoue]

Which should I tackle first?

[Pyromaiden]

Underdark

The Creche is tougher so getting some levels in the Underdark first is the better choice

I tried the Creche after the main area (having sacked the Grove)... Suffice it to say that after the first serious encounter, I decided to find a way to the Underdark. :)

But you might be more skilful than me. Up to you.

P.S. The difficulty was on Honour/ equal to Tactician for non-bosses/

ALWAYS do Underdark first... You need the XP and the gear from there to do the Creche.

Underdark 100%

Underdark, you meet a nice mind flyer there and if you are using powers want the boost, also nice items and levels!

Edit: Would say even before clearing the goblin camps or sacking the grove do everything in the first two areas (includiing forge ) before making a choice makes the party more fun and then hit the pas sand straight on to moonrise after the gith

Underdark first, creshe second. You want to be atleast level 6 before taking on the creshe.

I usually clear the Selunite fort under the goblin camp and the area around it (Beholder, Minotaurs) so I've an easy route back down there then go do the Creche. IME it's quite doable at level 5 on normal difficulty since the Inquisitor's the only hard fight. Rest you can avoid most of or take them on in small groups.

So Underdark then Creche then Mountain Pass or Underdark then Mountain Pass then Creche?

Underdark, Creche, Mountain Pass - or revert it if you like it long and hard. Your fights.

Mountain Pass is the Creche. ;)

Unless you count a certain fight with certain undead.

I would advise to leave the Creche for last. The others should be manageable at either 5 or 6th level

[jonnin]

yea mtn pass IS the creche ... there is only 1, maybe 2(?) fights not tied to the creche, or 4-5 if you count non gith fights "in" the creche. Only one of those is interesting(challenging).

The pass to the creche updates the world state, some act 1 stuff may be messed up etc. Going into the underdark does not have any effect on the world.

Creche/Mountain Pass doesn't progress to Act 2 so long as you don't enter the Shadowlands or whatever it's called. It's relatively short and not many combat encounters unless you decide to flat out attack and kill the Githyankii in the Creche.

Underpass is good experience but honestly you'll get access to better gear through vendors in the Creche and if you do the side quests you'll get good equips and decent xp also.

underdark. The creche borders act 2 in difficulty.

The underdark section also gets you some pretty good loot to help during the creche's many combat encounters.

[DontMisunderstand]

Creche is the hardest area in the game, in terms of how early it is compared to how difficult combat is.
