Some minor spoilers. It has been awhile but this is the way I did it.

1. Clear out the large entrance area first and take your time. Draw enemies out slowly (Fire Salamanders, and really tough sentries), protect yourself from fire, and buff for the sentries. North of the map prepare for backstabbing thieves unless you answer the questions correctly.

2. Buff and cast protection from arrows on everyone as the guys in the tower are deadly enter the tower and take out the archers. The top of the tower has a safe area for resting. (You can even do this before clearing out all the main area as having a safe place to rest is not a bad idea.)

3. Now I would do one of two things, head west to the well, or enter the area were you were jumped by thieves (statue that 2 gnomes are working on). If you head west the area if fairly easy just some enlarged bugs and a hoard of umber hulks to deal with. Talk to everyone important, buy items from Nym, and you can kill him after you are done with him. Currently you can make a trip to the severed hand to bring some items to one of the towers for some easy experience (assuming items were purchased from Nym).

4. Go to center castle were two gnomes are working on statue. Go to most western exit I think but it could be the other one. Anyway it is the one that takes you to the kitchen. The reason why you could do this one before the well is to grab an item from the kitchen. Anyway clear out this area. You should have a badge after finishing this area, includes upstairs.

5. Next clear out the area that you enter from the North east of the main entrance map. Lots of Fire Salamanders, wipe them out all of them. Enter the next area from the upper right, the one with all the elementals. Wipe out the elementals but don't head to the bottom yet. Head through the door that leads to the area with the undead, wipe every thing out and get another badge.

6. Now either head through the door you came though and finish off this area, or head to the area with the blind minatours and umber hulks (entrance to North West of main map). Both the final battles in these areas are toughies. Lets say you cleared out the rest of the Fire Giants map you have a badge, you killed a key NPC(Will not really as she is only severely injured ends up having twins, and committing suicide) .

7. Clear out area with Umber Hulks and Blind Minatours, head to building to get final badge.

8. Finish of all remaining quest head back to the area were the undead were to exit and move one step towards the final conflict in the game.

Hope this makes sense but if not that is OK. Oh and rest and save often.
