[Notes]
Chapter 2 were on Patch 5 and everything in chapter 3 on Patch 6. The Wizard level is not mandatory, you can pick something else if you want.
Biggest change was, that you become visible if you start a dialogue or interact with something like the netherbrain, where you have to climb up. One is against Raphael, if you are invis and talk to him, you become visible, that wasn't the case previously.
I cut around 20 Mins out of the arrow farming in the gith creche.
It's a good idea, to not wear the deathstalker mantle when you want to clear out moonrise. Otherwise enemies just de-aggro and everyone will stay hostile after combat ends (guard killed witness).
In chapter 3, i equipped the gauntlets of the warmaster for a good chunk of fights, instead of the legacy of the masters gloves i actually thought i had equipped.
Against Raphael: The dwarf potion is actually not the right one, you want the elven potion from the drow in the second chapter, to become immune to charmed. You can get any potion you want, if you just recruit the right race hireling.
Gortash: Now in Patch 6, if you pick up the netherstone from his corpse while invis, you become visible. Additional, he has the Alert feat, you can't get a surprise round against him.
Netherbrain: Because Patch 6 changed the rules with invis a little bit, you become visible after climbing up. That means, the best option is to quickly traverse the map and kill the mind flayers.
Avoid the dragon at all costs, he retaliates with a fire breath attack and in melee range, he can prone you for a couple of rounds. Equip Raphaels Helldusk armor, not the Bhaalist armor, to lower the dragons fire damage. You can re-equip the Bhaalist Armor while standing in the Globe later on.
If you go invis against the brain, the enemies won't spot you, but the brain will use a AoE attack and you will be revealed.
