POTD now is impossible

[swordfish]

I finished game 1 yr and a half ago on classic then started another gameplay on POTD difficulty until I reached level 8 and stopped for some reason.
And now I started another POTD gameplay but difficulty way pumped up lol before, in a specific spot, there was 1 enemy, now there are 7 lol 2 of them with 2 skulls??
Really wtf this is not really fun... this is impossible. I mean I am not a noob at all. I finished tons of RPGs on the highest difficulty including BG series, WL 2, DOS 1& 2, Icewind Dale series , and more and more.
But this POTD just sucks and you die I swear in like 15 sec straight.
I am thinking of starting POTD turn based this time, is it way easier?

Then level up in some other places and return when you are stronger.

I am level 3 and I did all quests that can be done. I do not have ship yet

I've just reached lvl 8 in POTD and have found the game to be challenging, but far from impossible. Sure, the battles last longer, but with some planning everything was killable this far.

Ok, try recruiting some extra muscle in the tavern. I'd recomend chanter (for the summons) and ranger (for the pet). Try to eat consumables and rest before the tough fight reaching Aloth.
Another thing that really helped was to lay a few traps before nastier fights.
Oh, and if everything else fails, use power word reload.

Thanks ... so now this difficulty sounds like The Child of Bhaal difficulty in the BG series

most of the changes they did on that difficulty upgrade some time ago were too extreme. You now need to hire extra adventurers on the tavern to beat the first island but there is no indication of this.
In some other main dungeons ahead you have to fight multiple triple skull enemies while dealing with no pen unless you grind some levels on side quests beforehand.

what's your party comp? this is working out well for me:


Unbroken (main tank)

Eder - Swashbuckler (second tank)

Kind Wayfarer Paladin dual-wielding maces (frontline support)

Bleakwalker / Ghost Heart with Bear (single target DPS and pet tank)

Wizard


Use Gouging Strike and Brand Enemy DoTs to wear down hard targets. Ranger blinks around to kill casters. Wizard mostly spams phantoms and CC from Arkemyr's Grimoire and poison death clouds from Spore Coated.

People were complaining about the game being too easy even on the harder difficulties. It sounds like they've done something to fix that.

If the game is too hard, you can switch to an easier difficulty, but making the game easier on a whole is not a great solution, because then we're back to square one.

You can't say the game easy until you beat The Ultimate without cheating.
