What is with the "Nemeses" in Arx?
I have 2 quests related to the school but I can't get anywhere near it without these guys ambushing and utterly wrecking me.

Are you not supposed to go near the school until you're L20? Or is there some trick to it?

They show up to harass you in a few different spots around Arx. They're actually not as strong as they initially appear to be, you can take them out at level 18 with optimized builds. But otherwise, you'll probably want to either avoid them or tackle them very carefully.

They tend to retreat once they start getting near death, so you can "win" the fight pretty quickly if you focus them down.

Yeah, you don't have to kill them completely for the fight to end, though I don't think they give experience unless they die.

They're a bit rough if you're unprepared, but should be very managable for a level 18 party. At this stage of the game, levels shouldn't matter as much anymore.

For the school quest - you can also bypass the Doctor's henchmen and sneak in from behind. Jump down to the beach behind the barracks (where you also find the entrance to the sewers) and you can climb up on the other side to get to the school. Just be quick when entering it.

Thanks maybe I'll try that method.

Maybe with a lot of prep I could win the fight but it seems like a pretty vast leap over any fight I've done so far. Also the game gives you zero warning and there's no autosave nearby which is somewhat uncool.

They run away when one dies, so if you can focus one down, the rest aren't an issue

I remember also that theres 1-2 guards that patrols near the school, so you can teleport one of these guys near them and they will help you during the fight

They are hard to beat on Tactition...

I wasn't able to sneak around them but I was able to kill one of them which as you guys mentioned made the others flee.

Arx is brutal, I feel like I've done most of the low-hanging fruit here and am still not L19.
