Put a spear trap right in front of the door, that can freeze the first hero in place allowing him to get hit (and feels less unfair than putting a pit trap although that can work too). Sure they can't shoot through each other, but even official quests will have traps in the room that monsters are hiding behind (to lure the heroes in, after all, monsters don't spring traps). You could have a Gargoyle that can use his whip as an alternate weapon, etc.Īdd in monsters with ranged weaponry.

When you see these bottlenecks in your quest map, equip some of your monsters with staves or spears (why not?). Kudos to them for finding a brilliant cooperative tactic, but you're trying to prevent it from getting boring through lack of difficulty.Ī double wide door sounds cool but four heroes could still cover it if they are determined, and back to the same 'problem' though it would force them to stick together. Let the Hero's have their 'winning strategy' (and even let them breeze through a quest with it, sounds like you already have) but plan ahead to work around it for next time. To make it look less arbitrary, write it into the quest ahead of time.
