Goblin camp

[Nix]

New to these sorts of games, thought i would give it a try.

Am i expected to take on the whole goblin camp? There is tons of them. Tried rescuing bear but got overwhelmed also. playing as a paladin. What would be the best way to go about this.

[Chaosolous]

There's a lot of ways.

If you want to fight them you can poison them first by drugging their booze soup thing they're all drinking out of.

You could join them.

You could ignore them.

You can sneak around the entire time.

Etc, etc, etc. There's more ways but IDR them all.

Don't forget getting to level 5 without hitting the place -- I think there's enough XP in the Underdark for that -- and then just nuking them with Fireball.

You can easily pick off lone goblins or small groups in the inside without alerting everyone, assuming you get rid of the bodies. Bodies can be put into containers. The floating orbs can be tricky, as they warn everyone right away as soon as they take any damage. You have to kill them in one hit. Try examining them and see what they are resistant to, and weak to, to figure out what might be able to one shot them.

The outside can be more difficult, but there are some great tactical places to fight from. You can kill the enemies all the way on top first, then fight most of the camp from some of the intermediate ledges with good cover. Dart out, shoot, dart back. Make the enemies run through nasty stuff like cloud of daggers or fire. If someone manages to get up to your party you can just push them down.

The bosses are harder, but mostly the same ideas apply.

I usually just go in and stealth kill everyone.
It's hilarious watching some of them pace around their ally's dead body like nothing happened.
The only one you can't stealth kill and get away with is Dror Ragzlin. As soon as he's dead, the whole camp will aggro on you when you get near them.
I always save him for last
But you TECHNICALLY don't need to kill every single goblin. I'm just a murder hobo

[PyroMonk]

have Lump's gang help you.

[cirugo]

If you are careful you can gradually take all of them out in small groups.

[Raz]

I am confused how you got overwhelmed rescuing Halsin when there is only six goblins in that room, with three of them only showing up if one of the two brats manage to escape. Do you mean you had already rescued him and then took him spelunking through the rest of the Sanctum which immediately kicks off a fight?

[StrangestEcho]

If you speak to the female dwarf druid in the grove you can get a vial of Wyvern Poison from her, which you can use to poison the alcohol at the outdoor feast, killing or wounding a large portion of the goblins.
