How on earth are you supposed to deal with that room with clocks, cannons, etc. that have a bunch of those purple shadow creatures?? Without companions?? This is absolutely absurd. There's too many shadows in there.
if you are about the level up and if you manage to 'corner' one of the shadows i suggest you kill it (10000 xp) but all the other time running is the keyword here.
I just reached this point, and as a mage, I am finding it almost impossible to continue. I can use Cloudkill and take a few out, but they move so fast that I can at most pull off one spell before they're on me, and with that status effect that reduces my strength, I become encumbered and simply can't get away. I can make it through about 2-3 cannons but without the option to save, it's a ****ing pain in the ass to have to watch those cutscenes over... and over... and over. Whoever designed the end section of the game needs to be shot.
