Stuck in a dungeon...HELP

[Polk]

Level 15-20 I think. And yeah, it's basically two-hit kills. This early in the game, the player is already expected to have grinded a bunch. Oh brother

If you are in the Barheim Passage, you're pretty overleveled. I think I'm usually like, 10 when I get there, but I think the average enemy level is around 7 or 8. Chances are, you've messed something up in your gambits, which, at this point in the game, you should probably only have two or three per character:

1. Cure -> Ally<50% (or whatever the percentage is, I think it's 50)
2. Attack -> Nearest visible enemy/party leader's target (Nearest visible for party leader, party leader's target for party)

And maybe an attack spell or two if you're into that sort of thing. I always like having healing gambits as my number one spot, so they're the top priority in a bad situation. I don't think you need to worry about status ailments at this point in the game, so unless you're getting hit constantly with something dumb like blind, don't worry about it.

FAKE EDIT: And if you're dying a bunch, always go for the big mimics draining electricity, so that you don't have to worry about the lights going out, and getting your ass kicked by the undead stuff.

hrm...15-20 you should be ok. try buffing your party a bit til you gain a level or 2. that place is all about killing the mimics before it goes completely starts and all the things that go bump in the night come out. on the plus side with XII, you can usually get a quick get away from enemies if it gets to be a little much.
good luck!

ehhh, last time I played was a week ago, so actually the real level might be closer to 8, it really wasn't very high.

That's a good point, the merchant Burrogh is at the very start. I remember having my ass handed to me in Barheim Passage because I never had enough money to buy decent stuff on my first playthrough.

A bit of advice for levelling in Barheim Passage @Bubble Boy .... Let the electricity run down to as low as possible, this way skeletons, wraiths and any undead monsters will be able to appear, and they give hell of a good experience.

The skeletons kill me the most. those assholes.
Basically, it feels like the only way for me to level up safely is to fight a couple monsters, then run all the way back to the save point. lmao.

Well, I've got about three gambits per character, and they're mostly healing stuff I think...

but I think at this point what I should be doing is fighting the undead creatures and slowly gain money from them so I can buy new crap at the merchant, right? okay, thanks.

I think there was something mentioned that they are all weak to a certain spell. I think it was a new spell that the shop sells. Can't remember if that is true or not. I only played game once or twice and that was when it first came out lol.
