Sir Moosington is right--those beetles are just a good source of free xp in HoF mode. Take any solo character, then help Jhonen and take out the beetles for Grisella (you can use a staff--its reach keeps you out of the beetle's reach) and you now have over 15000 xp!

My new party: paladin, figher/cleric, cleric, bard, mage, and fighter/thief. I started them in HoF mode from 1st level. We had the most trouble trying to finish the cave outside of Easthaven (a task we had to ultimately abandon) and trying to run through Kuldahar Pass (I switched to insane difficulty and ran them through without stopping so I wouldn't be "cheating"). They are now in the Vale of Shadows at average level 6 and doing quite nicely; the worst part is that the bard and mage have no 3rd level spells available to them. Oh, well. Patience--as well as composite longbows and Animate Dead--is the key to conquering HoF.
