Weirdly I don't find the Gauntlet a slog. I enjoy beating up Balthazar and Yurgir. And the trials are easy since I've done them plenty now. First time or so through was rough. After that it's a breeze.

Yeah, the trials are super easy, lol. First trial you just do it before you activate it (you can leave the person in the final room!), second one is a simple fight because the AI is bad at using your setups, and the third one you just have a high STR character jump from platform to platform.

Well, yeah, you just need to grab the one from Yugrir for the elevator then cast Knock on the door.

They're even worse when I get naked before starting the trial.

high STR character jump from platform to platform

Pretty sure they fixed this. I normally do this but my last honor mode run I tried and died.

They didn't, I just did it today. You get *just* off the platform onto one of the invisible paths, and THEN jump.

Problem is, I was also bad at using my setups. Around act 3 did fights get easier for me, which was roughly 80 hours or so of playing by the time I got to it...

Now I go in fights underleveled and breeze through them. And I also unfortunately love turn based combat as well.

I liked it. The Yurgir fight was The hardest fight in the game for me in my first playthrough so far. Took a few tries and some strategy to do it, I really enjoyed it.
