Am I doing something wrong, whenever I send my Barbarian into the fray and have her surrounded by multiple enemies, the enemies just walk away during their turn and I don't get any opportunity attacks? How do I engage a group of enemies to ensure they trigger opportunity attacks when moving away?

When someone asks what the name of your child is, just tell them it's Oskar Fevras. Yes, the Oskar Fevras.

You only get one opportunity attack per turn as a reaction. If you've used your reaction for anything else, then it's not available until the next turn.

OK so for the game to let me kill Mizora I have to attack her where Scratch and/or Owlbear will witness it, otherwise she just heals up and shrugs it off. But that makes both of them temporarily hostile, meaning owlbear leaves camp. Anyone got any ideas for how to get around this?

I'm pretty sure you can't kill them in camp no matter what? The only way you can actually kill them is in Act 2 if you use the mind flayer pod to annihilate her. This is a bad idea because A. it sends Wyll to hell and B. doesn't even actually kill her, it just temporarily banishes her back to Avernus

idk about specific guides but you don't need to worry about order that much, the game pretty explicitly warns you "do sidequests before advancing because this is a point of no return, do you want to proceed yes/no"

There are a few time-sensitive quests but again those are pretty explicitly timed afaik. Like in Act 3 you learn that a character will be executed in a few days.

The big one that isn't marked or indicated is Nere in Act 1. If you long rest in the Grymforge area before rescuing Nere his plot will advance without you. Which is not a big deal at all, actually.


I just encountered one that annoyed me. I found a projection of Roland at Last Light saying he's gone looking for his siblings and will be back in a ten day.

I think okay not too urgent. Nope. Long rested a couple of times and he was dead when I found him.

1. Throw Karlach (never done it before)

I used globe to counter (act 3) Ansur's mega attack and rather than it taking two turns it went off when I cast globe. There is no rule for this in the monster's details lol.

Tanks still suck but you don't gotta hand it to the Axis either.
As a new player combat interface is super obtuse, and especially on coop it’s super hard to even try translating when is anyone’s turn. Also is there a reason most hit percentages on enemies at low levels are between 60 and 55? Bc that poo poo just kills enjoyment.

Buff with bless. It helps a lot at low levels. Giving yourself advantage via debuffs like grease, hold person, etc helps a lot as well. Sleep and Hold Person in particular will give you 100% melee hit chance, and Hold Person will even make you crit. It's very OP

I think it’s possible to get close enough to him where you trigger the timed aspect without realising it.

I assume that it feels like when you see someone waving at you and you realize it must be an old acquaintance, and you are momentarily buoyed by the feeling of being recognized and welcomed.

When it wears off, that's the feeling you get when it dawns that this person is in fact a total stranger, was waving to someone behind you, and is now giving you a look as you haplessly wave back to them. You will now have to relive this moment in the night for the rest of your life.

I mean normally I don't kill people when that happens but I understand the urge.

Got a Divination Wizard going now on hm. Thanks whoever had the tip about fighting the Windmill goblins from top of the houses. You can just barely reach them to start a battle with them and it is a lot easier handling them from high ground instead of right at the wind mill.

Portent dice kinda rule. Using them to guarantee successes on like Hold Person or crits etc...very nice. They're nice defensively too but I prefer not to use them that way unless I have to. Feels more impactful to use them offensively.

The reason is that you're just face mashing the attack button rather than using abilities, items or the environment.
