Well not more hint? And about grabbing the key and ruuun you should explain where, once I grab the key but didn't noticed anything special... before dying.

Well as I just beat that fight with significant luck I'll discover where run now.

That fight is too random. Try and try again is necessary. I'm sure a lot of dexterity can help but it's still very random. Also with so many beasts to manage it is making the fight quite random to not light the area more. Ha well.

EDIT: But I whine and don't appreciate that much the hints but it's kind to try help. Often some encouragement do the job and worth all good tips. :)

In case someone find this thread, not really hints but suggestions to try:
  • Don't hesitate try and try again to get more luck. It's a random setup because monsters move a lot in the area and their start position is quite important.
  • Prepare healing potions before, as much than you can, other potions won't use for this fight.
  • If a character die remember during the fight to move his potions to an inventory of a character still alive.
  • Prepare enchanted arrows like fire arrow, that will help during long range phase.
  • Prepare bombs, not to make the whole fight but in case you get stuck anyway and need open a path asap. Then bombs can help.
  • Prepare one or two potion mana to be able use more your mage during long range phase.
  • Don't try close fight but instead prepare for long range and moving and long range and moving until you have clean enough the room.
  • Try regroup more the monsters during first long range phase, so you move from a side to another side with less chance to be blocked.
  • During first part, don't think to fight but think first to maneuvering to group more monsters and identify the situation. And use long range if you can but moving and not be blocked is your priority.

Once you manage to get out of the room alive,you can heal up, and return to finish off the herders if you want to.

This may be themost difficult fight of the game. I had to retry many times.

Aye this fight is not required to be completed or done in one go.

It is challenging but not the toughest fight in the game.
