User blog comment:The Milkman/Is Escorting Impossible?/@comment-5221163-20120628204859

I never found escort missions too frustrating. From what you describe its difficult to tell what you might be doing differently. A few possibilities.

- Perhaps you're too low level. The game doesn't hold your hand in terms of biting off more than you can chew as a low level character.

- I've found that if you're careful and plan your route you can actually avoid confrontation, for the most part. If you do run into something, you can run.

- As a Mystic Knight, I found Ruinous Sigil very useful; I simply placed them around the escort while my pawns fought the monsters.

- Mages can heal escorts. Always bring a Mage. If you don't, Jewels of Health reproduce the effects of Anodyne.
