Greetings intrepid veterans and newbies alike of Throne of Bhaal,
After one's month rest from BG2, I'm finally getting back into the fray of this epic adventure. My party had managed to get about half way through level 3 of Watcher's keep, before I began to struggle a little with the battle against Kar'Rashur, which is when I took a break from the game.
It took me at least half a dozen reloads to strategise the battle effectively when I came back to it, as did the nasty fight with the Demon Wraith. I was actually fortunate in a battle previous to them both to get a wild surge in one of those crazy rooms which give my characters Shield of the Archon's 10' radius.
I thus went on to finish level 3 but are now weighing up my options as to what to do next. I'm considering soldiering on and trying the next level, but are wary that perhaps I'm not quite ready for it. The other option is to go back to Suldenesslar, as I'm up to about the end of chapter 6, having killed bodhi. Perhaps that extra bit of xp will help for the dire fights I'm sure are to come in the rest of Watcher's Keep...
So I'm curious as to how everyone else has completed Watcher's Keep and if they have ever split it up in the 'some now, some later' type of approach.
Cheers,
Cerebrodragon

Korgan (Level 21)
