Act 1: Goblin Camp

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

    Clearing the Goblin Camp

  1. Warp to the Goblin Camp
  2. We can start by kill these 3 outside and to the west. I start the fight by shooting the barrel near them, it kills 1 if you wait for it to walk near it and almost kills the other 2 making it a quick fight.
  3. If you are around the same xp as me, this is when we started hitting level 4.
  4. When Astarion gets 4, make sure to unequip his weapon (he should be fighting unarmed from here on out) and drink a strength potion (he should have 100% uptime with this from here on out)
  5. Head inside the temple
  6. First fight will be right inside the door. If you don't have 4 level 4 characters yet, I would come back to this when everyone is 4. Some of the next fights are smaller and easier to push you over the line. Start the fight by destroying the drum so nobody uses it and make sure the door is shut.
  7. Loot and sell everything, good place to build up some wealth. Short rest and song of rest when you need to.
  8. You can sell to Roah Moonglow, Grat, and the druid grove
  9. If you see a drum that's secluded, you can sneak attack it to destroy it without starting a fight
  10. We can start over in the torture room. One guy roams by. Just stand in the room and tag him with a ranged attack when he gets close
  11. Kill the 2 next to Abdirack plus the other wanderer (shoot the drum nearby if it looks like they're going for it)
  12. Over by Roah Moonglow there's another wanderer. If you turn off all the lights and start the fight by shooting him from the N corner, you can kill it without aggroing anything else or scaring off the Zentarim.
  13. Head north to the door that leads to the Dror Ragzlin fight, make sure to shut the door. Head west past the first set of 3 goblins, to find 3 more. Kill them
  14. Head back east 1 room and kill those 3.
  15. Head to the 3 goblins outside the door to Halsin's prison and kill them. Make sure to turn off the lights and destroy the drum nearby
  16. At this point, the place should be clear except for: True Soul Glut, Minthara, the Dror Ragzlin, and the fight in the middle.
  17. You can keep your 3 people out of the middle room, and sneak in and shoot this lever to let the spiders out. They will fight the guys in the middle and weaken them a bit. This is a bit risky, so you can keep the other 3 at camp as well, in case you get killed trying to do this. Use speak with animal potion to go in and tell them to eat goblin
  18. Let them fight it out and clean up whoever survives, for me it was just 2 goblins
  19. Now that most of the normal goblins are killed, we can kill True Soul Gut without her calling for backup (well she might call, but none will comes)

    After looting her, I was given the chance to start using parasites. I would suggest getting Cull the Weak with both MC and Astarion (I had 4, so just enough). This allows them to instantly kill someone with less hp than parasites used. For example, they both have 2 parasites, so if you knock someones health down to 2 or less with an attack, they will die instead. The number increases everytime you use parasites, so we mostly focus on using them with these 2. I would suggest going towards ability drain and then charm next for them.

  20. Head over to Halsin's room, we can save him now in another medium-ish fight, but nothing too difficult.
  21. Start the fight by the door you came in from when the wanderer comes close. Make them waste turns coming to you while you slowly move forward.
  22. Leave Halsin here for now, we can bring him when we go after Minthara
  23. Go talk to Dror Ragzlin, don't start the fight, just do the conversation. (speak with dead, don't ask it who killed it, agree to go see Minthara)
  24. Leave 3 characters in Dror's room, take 1 that isn't Astarion, go South from his room, to see a ladder in the corner
  25. Climb the ladder and jump the short wall to the west
  26. Follow the rafters to the SW corner to see a room full of explosive barrels. There's chests around up top, but nothing we need. You can loot them for stuff to sell if you want.
  27. Start putting barrels in your inventory, have Astarion take them out and place them around Dror and his minions. Try not to make too much noise, or Roah will hear you and come in.
  28. When you have them all placed, stand back and blow them up to kill a good chunk of the minions and his health. Then just kill whoever is left.

    Keep in mind, this action makes Minthara, plus all the goblins outside aggressive. They won't come attack you now, but you can no longer go out the front door without starting a fight. So don't warp to Goblin Camp, and don't walk out the front door. We'll come back to kill them later when level 5/6.

  29. Roah and friends probably cleared out now. There's some stuff by where they were standing to take now.
  30. Go into the door in the back of True Soul Gut's room
  31. Kill Pulma and loot the room (misty step necklace in the back is useful, give to whoever)
  32. Go down the hallway behind her, line up the dark circles under the light to open the door. Head down the ladder into the Underdark
