Tbh, I prefer to avoid being there at night if possible. I had just troll armor, a bow, and ategir. I used a bow for everything until I had to deal with either closing in draugrs or if I wanted to rush an archer.

It's a challenge, but it isn't overly difficult imo. I played either solo there or with one other person on the server if that affects the difficult while not in immediate location. It just takes lots and lots of arrows if being cautious

And always possible to farm the poison resist and pierce resist gear from the swamp even if it can take a bit of luck / time. Then it becomes a joke even with rank 1 of them.
