I was able to beat the crypts pretty early, but lost several units for rather medicore loot so I reloaded.
If you decide to go for it, be sure to make a save first. I opted to skip the crypts early on and come back to them when I had strong units like warbreeds and mounted archers. The units in there can be pretty tough early on and any dead units can come back alive. Skip the crypts!
