I don't recommend camping along the way to Arnika after leaving the Monastery, only if you are close to Arnika. The 2 places I rest before the last few niches near Arnika are at the Cutthroat chest, which is asking for trouble, or behind the house, which also asks for trouble. New groups are generated when you rest and they can be hard. After that, run if you get overwhelmed. The enemies generally break off before you are out of stamina. I made it to Arnika at lev 2, just to see if I could do it. A fair amount of running and using crevices and blind luck helped. People are right when they say the number of enemies are random on that road.

I've made it to Arnika a few times with a 4-party (on my third? now lev 13 much later in the game). But the dice can throw you a bad mix, so you reload from the Monastery...or run.
