I've had success throwing the nautilus orb thing that pulls in everything into the goblins around the dead mindflayer and then hitting them with some AOE. Your highest priority target though is the war drums that they can use to alert everyone else.

Should I hit the war drum when the fight starts? I tried hitting it before and it didnt seem to help

Generally I had someone posted up right near that had high dex (good spot for a ranged character anyway) that way they can destroy it before any goblins get to it. Also had someone up top to take care of the 2 human assassin guys. I view that fight as essentially 3 smaller ones, the 2 guys up top, the goblins, and then ragzlin. If you can take out most of the first two the rest of the fight is much easier.

The other option (albeit less ideal one) is to knock him into the pit to the right of him. Although I don't think you can get his parasite or loot if you do that.

Also I should point out you should be at least around level 4 when you fight him, otherwise it will be significantly harder

If you avoid initiating the conversation with him, the two human/drow/humanoids will patrol a bit and conveniently both stop under a large chandelier that has a little pin holding it up. Dropping it can one-shot them both.

There are candles all over that dais that will ignite grease pools.

There's a wooden bridge behind and above Dror that will easily break and drop whoever is standing on it into the chasm.

Knock a goblin into the pit behind them and there are two spiders that will eat them.

Using the environment to your advantage helps a ton.
