I am done with Wilderness in Act I: Where do I go now?
Should I go to Underdark or to the Mountain Pass?

Neither. There are other, easier, areas in Act 1 before you do those. Unless of course you mean you have already done them.

In that case, Underdark first, then Mountain Pass.

Underdark doesn't force a time skip until you get to the gyrmforge area.
Mountain pass immediately forces a time skip.

So do EVERYTHING in the Wilderness before mountain pass, and it's easier to do the underdark stuff before the mountain pass.

Then, before act 2, I would finish mountain pass.

Ultimately, moving on to act 2, I prefer the underdark.

Yeah, I've done all of Wilderness above ground. Are there other areas I missed?

Thanks. Can I only go to the Creche through the Mountain Pass? I want the legendary hammer or mace or wahtever it is ;)

*Laughs* How could anyone possibly know if you have missed areas? Done the Spider Caves? The Teahouse caves? The Hideout? Putrid Bog? If you must know, check FExtraLife, they have a complete layout of all of it. 'Wilderness' is just the name of one of the sub-areas in Act 1.

Yup; I don't think I missed anything ;)

Yep.
You can do the underdark and mountain pass at the same time. There's no need to go for a linear sequence.

I cleared all of the Underdark before going to the mountain pass and did not regret it, there are some hard fights in the crèche.

But again there are some hard too in underdark. I really disliked the Adamatine Forge area and the bridge with 15 traps, but the rest I found pretty good.

Wait, I thought you are supposed to the Forge before the Creche?

You can go back to the Mountain Pass to explore if you choose Underdark, not sure of the reverse, but I chose Underdark first. Was pretty fun. Just choose what you like.

I would do the UnderDark first, then Grymforge, then before leaving Act 1, go back and do the Mountain Pass.

I've decided to leave Act 1 Via the Mountain Pass, not the Under Dark.

You can go vice versa, either UD or MP, either or, you can go back. Taking the MP will close off some of the Wilderness Quests though once you choose to go that way. The UD will not.

It's why I go UD, GF, then MP.
