To be more specific about "turn left," I usually stop just inside the castle, far from Ferro, at the first wall a few feet inside the entrance where only a couple at a time can come at me. When all enemies are dead,I hug the left wall then proceed directly away from Ferro until a Templar.
As Wereboar and Ziggurat pointed out, even these precautions are not a guarantee, but I have never had Ferro die in my games.
It is possible that one thing I never do is scatter enemies. I never cast Fear, Blind nor any of the clouds that might have a similar, "scattering" effect. What I do is damage and kill. Very little, if any, gets away. I use cone and area effect spells mostly, but also melee with my Bard and RPCs and possibly Priest.
Scattering effects can easly create the situation Wereboar describes. For example, a blinded Rapax Samurai might run out of the room, on the Ferro side, then, if still blinded, run again. If your luck is bad, when they are no longer blind, a convenient enemy, Ferro, might be only a few feet away.
So avoiding spells and ammo like that helps.
