First Vigilante ambush - pretty nearly died

This was right after a rock arch, shortly after leaving the boat landing area (arriving at) Blood River Outskirts for the first time. 3 vigilantes jumped out, one was an archer. 2 elves are there to help.

The vigilantes really brought the heat, if I was still trying to figure things out I would be dead. I suggest watching your noob death heat maps and see if that location is wiping them.

 

By themselves some of these guys are hitting for 20 points of critical damage, FYI. So 3 at once is tough if they all turn on the player instead of the elves.

 

I did die, but it wasn't until 3-4 got me at once. Wasn't really conserving my focus though, or trying to run away. Also the Ankh was literally 20 steps away, albeit behind something, so it took only a few seconds to find it. Better to learn about them there, then later when who knows where your ankh might be...

 

Yeeaaahh.... I'm not sure killing the noob as he gets off the boat is a good idea just to learn about Ankhs.... maybe another way?

 

I think letting the newb know that they have additional abilities (already learned) that they should add to their bar might help the survival rate a bit? Or encouraging them to run! haha, personally I liked the difficulty out of the gate... but that's not for everyone, for sure.
