8 Video Games That Reward You For NOT Levelling Up

When you're looking to take on the literal forces of Hell, you might want to make sure that your weapons are sharp, your armor is blessed, and that you've got a force of stalwart warriors on your side. Yet, if you look at the curious case of Baldur's Gate II's expansion Throne Of Bhaal, it might be best to wander into the fiery pits with your starter equipment.

Ok that's a bit of an overstatement, but your battle with Illasera can be made a tonne easier by actually going into battle unprepared. This is because if you're lower than level 21 before engaging her then she won't have access to a particularly horrible spell known as Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting, which as the name might suggest isn't exactly something you want to experience firsthand.

Making the fight even easier, if you rock up to the rumble without a full party then she won't bring her own henchmen, and seeing as there are four of the lads who each take an annoying amount of work to take down, this cuts the battle time considerably.

So remember kids, when Evil is knocking at your door, simply answer in your undies and catch them off guard!
