Any dungeon crawling tips?

[bastard]

I took up a quest "Bandit's Den" in Mannshire, which the elder of the town points me to Fort Danbayne (The places and their locations are randomly generated for everyone). I have to wipe out the location of bandits (or rush in and get lucky in finding the leader if you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crazy) to complete the quest and get a good sum of gold. Not so bad, right?

If I really enjoy banging my ♥♥♥♥ after getting merked from just stepping in the wrong direction, sure, it's not so bad.

Does anyone have any tips to safely and efficiently delve inside quest dungeons?

I play Dirwin at level 5 with 11, 20, 14, 11, 10 (Strength, Agility, Perception, Vitality, and Willpower). My major damage output is a Slaying Yew Bow (+20 Crit Efficiency, -7% skill cost). I saved in a nearby camp between Mannshire and the fort, so it's almost impossible to grind and get a stronger within 3 days.

If more character information is needed, I'll be glad to disclose it, whatever it may be.

U want the first 3 dagger skills. take aim can sustain hunter pretty well alone. then u want distracting shot. dungeons are hunts weak spot for sure. pull by shouting if u cant pull by arrow. ull get the hang of it eventually. what killed you? also if u zone after an enemy is distance > 5 he wont follow
later u can use suppression before opening a door

if u dont want to reroll tell me ur skills so we can find a solution together

I have Double Lunge and Quick Hands. For ranged weapons, Taking Aim, Long-Range Shot (It's terrible without the right perception), Constant Practice, and Suppression.

Any brigands with two-handed weapons or sword and shield can tear my ass apart (Their lunge ability and raise shield).

As of right now, shouting in an open area didn't do so bad within this take on the dungeon as we speak.

rerolling= creating a new character.
deadly trick is the key dagger skill, u want that.
its one round of free dmg or more importantly a disengage.
shouting out mobs from dark rooms goes a long way.
activate suppression before u do, like before opening doors.
2hand charge has range 5 or 4. stay out of it or use deadly trick to disengage.
distracting shot kinda mandatory aswell.
1 hand charge has range 2? stay out of it aswell.
also piercing shot kinda nice against armored foes.

I've gone pretty darn far with Dirwin. I'd hate to start over.

Suppression is awesome for its knockback. Seems like I messed up with Long-Range Shot and Quick Hands... :/

I'm curious. If I zone out of one area with multiple guys in range, do all of them come or just one?

if u zone with 3 mobs within 5 distance yes. however they only appear after u moved one step from the door. and the next one will follow when the space next to the door is not occupied.

Quik hands mandatory too

shout pull back off, lure into firing channel (area where u can open at max possible range). activate suppression, open fire shuld delete most stuff in the game.
if not u can still back off and zone when mob distance over 5 to reset the fight.
else lvl up and skill deadly trick or distracting shot

Yeah I'm not getting any closer past 3 brigands spawning in the first room when you get inside in 4 consecutive retries (if you've had any more bad RNG than this, let me know).

I'm gonna try to find a way to get rid of long-range and get distracting or deadly trick via editing the game's files. Cheap, I know, but I really don't want to start over.

I'll take your tips into consideration. Thank you.

3 birgands under range 4 without a disangage is ruff yes. didnt occur in my playthrough. had 2 disengages tho and i also kinda rushed for longbow

With your skills i think your best bet is to abuse the entrance/staircase mechanics
Go in-> they aggro-> get out -> stand directly in front of the stairwell and you should get 3 consecutive 1v1.
Somebody correct me if this strat is no longer viable, havent used it this patch i think

it is still viable but haary as hunter against 3 mid lvl melee mobs
specially without dirty trick
