Non Spoiler Tips for Goblins Encampment? (self.baldurs_gate_3)

I am struggling. Only have Shadowheart and my PC at level 3.

spoiler

I killed the priestess inside the silence spell but she managed to walk out and call for help on her last turn.

I then unlocked the underdark but don't want to explore that yet.

Now I have found the drow and the hobgoblin but they are surrounded by all the minons and I can't take a fight. SHould I keep exploring? I found the cave below the spiders but haven't gone in yet, had to restart that save because it was in battle and I yeeted myself off the cliff to avoid more dudes.

I love this game. As a BG1/2 fanboy and an overall hater of turn based games I felt betrayed when Larian got the IP and turned it into a Divinity clone, but I am having so much fun. It is like I am playing 5e by myself. Also talking to all the animals is so great.

Why is it only you and Shadowheart?

By the time you get to the goblin camp, you should have encountered Asterion, Gale, Wyll, and Lae'zel.

Companion Locations

The first two are near the crashed Nautiloid (tentacle ship), before the goblin fight in front of the grove. Asterion to the west of the ship, Gale to the east at the fast travel point. Wyll is easy to miss, but he's training the tiefling kids inside the druid grove. And Lae'zel got herself trapped by tieflings, south of the grove, should be on the way to the goblin camp.

Thanks that is probably my problem. I thought the game funneled me here but I probably just need to explore more.

Larian games tend to highly reward thorough exploration with much needed XP and quality gear.

Not exploring an area 100% counts as a punishment because you missed out on XP, gear and NPCs that could definitely help.

Huge portions of the game are set behind exploration so definitely comb the map.

They make it seem like it's imperative that you get to Halsten right away. I was afraid to even take a long rest when I started playing. If you go any direction other than the one they try to funnel you into, then you miss all of the companions. I did the same thing and was getting absolutely bodied at the Goblin Camp. Go back and find some companions and the fights will be 200% easier.

Maybe they failed the strength check to save Gale and didn't reload thinking they'd see him again. I'm still angry about this. One stupid failed roll less than an hour in... I'm 50 hours in and haven't seen him.
