I am on the path for knowledge quest and I just cant seem to survive. Any tips?

If possible, get windshear, this sword is amazing. If not possible, get to a vantage point and use a bow. If none of this works, lower your difficulty

Dont be afraid of running. No one will call you a milk drinker.

Welcome to the forums.

Thank you lots, I'll try the bow.

What kind of character are you?

If your character isn't durable, then fight from range with bows or magic. No matter the build type, it's also a good idea to have a decent supply of health potions.
