Where abouts is this dirge? Act 1?
Also is this shadowy cursed lands start of act 2 when you go from the underdark? Rather avoid that too if possible.

Dirge/Durge is The Dark Urge origin character choice who has an interesting backstory that's built into the game 
Dirge is a character type from char selection
Like an origin or whatever they call it. Not something you switch to unless you started the game with it I think.Yes that is the one. I would recommend doing as much as you can as it's your first time, there is some pretty dark stuff going on. I just don't want to to it again noting the potential to run out of steam and Act 3 being a known slog.
Act 2 description not really a spoiler but…
Act 2 is good but is very dark and oppressive. The vibe totally shifts to dark/grim with ghouls and zombies etc. still fun though ! And isn’t optional, last light inn is cool though!
Edit. Also IIRC you cannot revisit act 2 locale so grab everything you can. Missables etc.

So, İ managed to get to level 7 now. Still in the creche. I basically killed everyone in there (need the xp ya know?) and then made what seems to be an error and mispoke and their queen god got upset and killed me! 
I actually did not expect that at all. Did not think she had the power to do that. Now when I reload I will need to be more careful and use deception when speaking to her I guess? I mean I am not going to side with her, she seems a bit crazy.
I do wonder what Laizel will say when I eventually see her in the camp and tell her all your people in the creche are dead, woops

Be honest, did you figure it out by yourself or Google it?
I actually had to do both because I figured out about using the grease, but I actually hit a bug where it stopped interacting to turn the statues So I googled it thinking I had done something wrong. If I recall there was a workaround where you could just destroy the wall or something.

Told you it was worth it. Hope you found the Holy Lance Helm too

Google? Not me sir
What part was hard exactly? You did the 4 swords that gave you something. Let's try inserting that something in?
Dropping the shields were a piece of cake, I don't even think I put much thinking into that.
Now there was one more of those crystals you break that drop a shield right at the end, I broke it but it was not obvious where the room would be. I could not be asked looking for it and left. Could have looked e online but thought what's the point, how good can whatbi find really be?
Went into the astral plane, sided with the pretty lady. Came out and had to leave it to go eat while having a chat with Laezel. Let's see what comes of that as I am about to resume.
Need to see what I can do with this egg too before going to act two

Not sure. Maybe that is what I missed. Need to go look. If not I will "Google" it

It's a headgear that's perfect for a light cleric. It's 'in' the Monastry but tucked away in a corner. Possibly a fight to get it.

Lol. I just found it in my traveller's chest
Thing is I have Shadowheart wearing Warped Headband of Intellect. Makes her intelligence go from 8 to 17. Surely that is better?

None of it. I literally mean the room before you gain access to the hidden bit where the mace is at the end, the one bit you managed not to mention
Probably just misremembering it, if it wasn't for the bug Id not have got stuck the first time.
It's not really a brain taxing game as you say.

You mean the but with the statues that you can rotate? I just found that by mistake as I try and explore as much as I can. As soon as they started to rotate I knew it was a puzzle

Yeah! So I had a bug where I greased the statue (found a note making a really obvious reference to do this) but then clicking on it still didn't rotate so that's when I felt dumb and had to search for it.
I think I use Shart wrong because even with that legendary mace she hits for like 6-10, I get it's got the bonus of reviving you when you drop but still.

Not using her wrong per se but her actions are wasted on a melee attack. Likely she has subpar STR and only 1 attack per round. Better to use spells to buff/debuff/control the battlefield. Suggestions:
- Spiritual Weapon (Bonus Action) and Spirit Guardians
- Bless or Bane (both concentration so pick)
- Shield of Faith (concentration) and then Sacred Flame whilst keeping your distance
- Heal bot (this is generally inefficient but BG3 made some changes which might be better keeping folk up)

Finally started act 2. Bloody hell that took much longer than I expected! Worth it though.
Went from the underdark by the way. So good idea bad idea?

Level 7. About a third way to Level 8. Fights should be easy I would imagine.
