Update 8 - Old Forest & Lake of Nur

Old Forest
None of the bears or bugs or anything should even get near you

Level 19
Stats: Mag +1

Chronomancy / Bow Threading
Arrow Echos 1(good for opening boss fights, mowing down zigurs)

Boss: Wrathroot (alternate: Shardskin)
Dude will freeze you so use your Wild infusion to get out of the ice blocks
Should be a cakewalk.

Hopefully by now you've found something that will grant water breathing. If not check all the stores first before going to the next level.
Look for helms and armor. Belts can also have the undead attribute.
If you don't have water breathing (I didn't) kill zigur patrols until you find a helm or armor with it. OR you can (carefully) do the next dungeon without it.

Level 20
Grab another inscription slot, use a teleport or something else to get you out of an 'oh shit' moment like a movement infusion.
Stats: Mag +1

Chromancy / Bow Threading
Arrow Threading 1

Chromancy / Temporal Combat
Weapon Folding 3

Race / Halfing
Militant Mind 1

Level 21
Stats: Mag +2, Dex +9 (I found a dagger that needed 40+ Dex)

Chromancy / Temporal Guardian
Warden's Focus 1 (good against bosses again)
----------------------------------------------------------
Lake of Nur
Levels 1 and 2:
If you don't have water breathing, carefully move between air pockets and try to find the stairs. If you do have it then this is a breeze.
Level 3: Yiikgur, the Sher'Tul Fortress
Boss: Weirdling Beast
This is your first real test
This guy has a massive bone shield, can dispell you and heals. You need to give him everything you have to take him out. Try to stick to the stairs so you can flee if needed. If you use the right skills and get lucky with your critical hits he won't last more than a few turns though!

And now you have your very own fortress. Set everything up and talk to the shadow before you leave. Also grab anything you can use from the vault you may have left from another character.

Level 22
Stats: Mag +1, Dex +2

Chromancy / Temporal Combat
Weapon Manifold 2

Technique / Combat Training
Light Armour Training 3

At this point we're running out of content. I went back to Daikara to open the Giant's fortress here. It had 2 uniques inside! Yay.
Boss: Burb the Snow Giant Champion
Boss: Lisylekira the Snow Giant Chieftain

All I can say is if you let these guys out of their fortress - run run run, and gun when you can. Try to lure them around a corner. Teleport out if you get in trouble or to let your skills cool down.
