Spoilers for Baldur’s Gate 3, Act 2, in and under the Moonrise Tower.

08:38 # Baldur’s Gate 3. Last night after five TPKs at the Moonrise Tower, on the sixth try, with Shadowheart the only surviving party member, she ran out into the Shadow Cursed areas and all the enemies followed her until they died from the curse and turned into undead with half their hit points. Then she doubled back and killed a handful 1-on-1, returned to where the rest of the party died, revivified them, then the party was able to take out the rest of the enemies. A weird improvised strategy but it worked. #baldursgate3

20:41 # Baldur’s Gate 3. Ugh. Well I’ve said this before but I think I’m done with Tactician difficulty again, after going down that elevator to meet the Apostle of Myrkul. You really have no sense of knowing whether you’re in the right place or not when you enter a big story moment or a fight in this game, and on Tactician difficulty if you’re underleveled or unprepared, it’s a pretty disheartening experience to have most of your party downed or incapacitated in 1 or 2 rounds. The fact that damage always outpaces healing by a large margin is also pretty irritating. #baldursgate3
