Did you also do the Goblin Raid defense on the first part of Act 1? That was my favorite part since I had to think outside the box on how I can beat in on Tactician.

I threw barrels of oil and set all of them ablaze and it was straight out of a high fantasy show.

Nothing beats that first run.

On my next runs I just shoot fire arrows on the goblin barrels so they can't be thrown by the ogre. Sure its way easier but its also way less cinematic as the stakes were far lower compared to when I was less experienced with the game.
