Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Shadowblade Class Guide (Tips & Tricks)
Circle of Suns (Ring): decide to kill Sadha inside the Arx Lizard Consulate (this may cause Red Prince to go hostile if he isn’t a main character). Gives a nice boost to Pyrokinetic and the Flaming Skin skill for f
Playing a hhardlineGeomancer should ideally begin with Fossil Strike (Geomancer 1) to consistently create oil surfaces and Fortify (Geomancer 1) to provide both Physical Armor and a cure for damage-over-time statuses. As players level up, they can use more potent Geomancer Skills such as oil-inducing Impalement and knockdowning Earthquake (Geomancer 2), as well as the stationary poisoning Summon Artillery Plant and poisonous blockade Living Wall (Geomancer
For new Talents aim for Executioner to regain AP, Hothead for critical hit rate, and Elemental Affinity to reduce AP costs; if you are using more spells than pure melee also get Savage Sortilege to gain magic criticals. With Gift Bags, Sadist will deal Fire damage on Burning targ
The unique gameplay perk of Elves gaining memories and skills through eating flesh (Corpse Eater Talent) fits the necromantic motif of the Witch, making the Elf Witch quite a great starting combination. The Witch itself had access to great life steals and devastating combat spells, making the action-oriented perks of the Elf quite an appropriate way to enhance their versatility on the battlefi
However, some heavy items such as crates get harder to destroy when they carry heavy things. Unfortunately, dropping these heavy crates on unsuspecting NPCs can cause a ton of damage. Fortunately for some squishier characters, this box strategy might just protect them from much stronger bos
Players with a penchant for thievery might find it tricky to pickpocket NPCs for loot. Pickpocketing can be extremely useful at almost any point in the game, as NPCs – especially vendors – might have useful spellbooks. Ideally, players can just have a character with high Thievery do the job. However, they can make things easier with some distractio
Civil abilities are the least used options out of the bunch and most effected by wearable items. These are broken into three categories, craftsmanship, nasty deeds, and personality. If the Inquisitor franchise Legacy is the main character they should invest in persuasion as it is the most useful all around. If not, lucky charm is great for collecting large sums of money or better it
Whithermoore’s Girdle (Belt): find Whithermoore’s Soul Jar inside the Fort Joy keep and destroy it. Go into the Elf Cave and head to the basement (need either high Wits or have a Dwarf to enter the hole). The belt has free Mem
RPG fans will likely remember Larian Studios ’ Divinity: Original Sin 2 as one of the most immersive CRPGs to grace the PC. Thankfully, its Definitive Edition finally got ported to the Nintendo Switch last 2019. Unlike other Switch ports, Original Sin 2 for the Switch got freebies such as built-in mods, as well as cross-platform play. As such, players of the PC version will be able to save their progress for the Switch and vice ve
Moreover, Teleport can be quite an annoying spell to use on enemies. For instance, teleporting an enemy on top of another will cause damage. Additionally, players can teleport enemies and bosses to disadvantageous positions rather quic
Delorus’ Bow (Bow): Delorus is a Magister in Fort Joy. Rescue him there, and then in Nameless Isle agree to escort him to Bishop Alexander; he will give you his bow if he survives the trip. A good bow that also has the Assassinate sk
For a more aggressive and magic-based playstyle go for Geomancy or Pyrokinetic skill lines. In Geomancy, adding skills like Contamination, Poison Dart, Acid Spores, Reactive Armor , Venom Coating, and Venomous Aura. In Pyrokinetic, adding skills like Haste, Searing Daggers, Bleed Fire, Firebrand, Deploy Mass Traps, and Sabot
The base Battlemage during character creation (or if you recruit a companion) is 1 Strength, 1 Intelligence, 1 Constitution, 1 Warfare, 1 Aerotheurge, 1 Persuasion; Battering Ram, Shocking Touch, Blinding Radiance skills and the Comeback Kid Talent. While Air damage is serviceable, you can cause much more destruction by beginning with Fire damage and adding in other elements la
As a Battlemage, you will be dealing with some mix between Physical and Magic damage. It would be better to just prioritize one: either heavily invest in two-handed Strength weapons and Warfare or Intelligence staves and Pyrokinetic . Either way, being on the frontlines means that it would be good to wear Strength-based armor. Consider starting with 1 Strength (mostly for future gear requirements), 2 Intelligence, 1 Warfare, 1 Pyrokinetic, and Civil Ability matching your character (Barter for Ifan, Loremaster for Sebille, et
For your first three skills consider Battle Stomp for area damage (it will deal elemental damage if you wield a staff, but will not Knock Down if the target has Physical armor). Take two of the three: Ignition to light enemies aflame, Searing Daggers to create Fire surfaces, and Haste to improve your AP regeneration. You will also have All In if you wield a two-handed weapon, or Staff of Magus ranged attack with an elemental staff. For the first Talent, Torturer will let you inflict Burn status even if enemies have Magical armor, or Opportunist to get free attacks on moving targ
