Relatively, which did you find harder?

Categories:

1/ Traps
2/ Monsters (difficulty relatively)
3/ Boss Battle (you may not have got that far)
4/ Duration, which is longer
5/ Goodies RELATIVELY
6/ Puzzles
7/ Number of Monsters

thanks!

Remind you of Durlags Tower:

5/6 levels

Boss is a death knight
Party level was 7 to 9
lots of Greater Dooplegangers, Doom Guards, Skeletons, Phase Spiders,
Invisble Stalkers, Phenoix Guards, Greater Wyverns,

I recall Durlag's Tower being a tad bit harder (and longer), relatively speaking.

Please no spoilers on WK...haven't got ToB yet!!"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

REALLY???!!!

Durlag's Tower was hard for a low level party.

I had this horror feeling. I didn't feel like exploring and just battled through it as fast as possible. There were so many traps and skeletons...eeekks

I REALLY HATE DOPPLEGANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My opinions are as follows ( no spoilers ):

1. Traps - Durlag's Tower
2. Monsters - Watcher's Keep
3. Boss Battle - Watcher's Keep
4. Duration - Durlag's Tower
5. Goodies - Watcher's Keep
6. Puzzles - Durlag's Tower
7. # of Monsters - Watcher's Keep
8. Overall - Close, but Durlag's Tower b/c it's more original, more back story, and (of course) Watcher's Keep is based on it. Both are incredibly great!

GO DURLAG GO!
GO WATCHER GO!

I found Durlag's Tower harder as a whole, because you're at lower level and the place was riddled with traps.

I didn't find Watcher's Keep that difficult, then again, I'd beaten SoA with the party I took through it. I'm sure that if I played it at levels 9-10 it would be a lot more difficult.
