So, I'm a level 5, and I made it through Ondil really easily. I psuedo-kite the things summoned by the portal to DoT them with Soul Snare and Searing Strike, using Stonefist to knock them down. I get to the final boss (I assume), Gutspripper, and I die repeatedly. I can sometimes *almost* kill him, but after noticing that all my armor is 0/X and needs to be repaired I see that I can't leave the area. Or at least I don't think I can.
So... I either need a really cheap way to kill him as a Dragonknight without any available skill points to spend, or I need a way to get out so I can level up once or twice. Any and all help is appreciated.
