Angel of Darkness: You can AVOID battling the wyrm of golmore jungle by passing through the feywood? XD I have to try that sometime just for the heck of it haha.

And I actually learned my lesson and stayed away from the werewolves. Those...oohh now I've lost the name for them...those walking-up-right eagles roaming Giza Plain anyway, they were a PAIN in the beginning, and I avoided them at all costs...but then again I never used gambits AT ALL on my first play through and doing all healing manually was way slower than putting in some good healing gambits. : ) The final battle took years with manual healing...and it's a long battle already.
