Divinity: Original Sin 2 is among the most challenging RPGs. It has a lot of quests, intense tactical combat, and deep and complex storyline. Divinity: Original Sin 2 is the sequel to Divinity: Original Sin and features 1,200+ characters that are fully voice-acted.

Don’t just attack anyone to encounter. You want to feel powerful when you play a game, but fighting with every character you encounter can lead to the death of various characters. You will not be able to complete or even start some of the quests since those characters were needed to complete or start them.

If you want to steal something, you should do it skillfully. Stealing can ruin your relationships with other characters. If you are caught, you have to explain yourself as well. Persuasion skills can be used to avoid problems associated with stealing.

Don’t buy items that you have no need of. Gold is very important, and it’s useful in any stage of the game. Coins can purchase only a few items. If you think that an item will not be of any use to you, don’t spend your money on it. You can acquire your desired equipment within the game by making one yourself. A crafting material will almost certainly show up in the merchant’s offer once more.

Another important factor to remember is to avoid saving a lot of consumables because it can overcrowd your equipment. Although potions, grenades, and scrolls are valuable, their amount in the equipment increases quickly. You don’t have to save them for later because after several hours into the game, grenades, and potions will consume about two-thirds of space in your equipment.
You should also avoid standing beside explosive barrels and finishing your character’s movement on an oil barrel. Developers have carefully prepared most of the fights in the game, so you will see that there are barrels with poison or oil placed in strategic locations. Your enemy can take advantage of these barrels to defeat you.

There are hundreds of quests in the game, and the prizes for some of these games are not proportionate to the amount of time allocated to them, but you should not ignore side quests. You can gain a lot of experience from these quests. If you ignore them, you will lose the opportunity to strengthen your team. Your team will eventually lose because it’s too weak to continue playing.

It is also important to avoid using abilities that inflict status on enemies with a lot of magic or physical armor. Although it’s an easy way to start fights, your abilities or spells can be warded off if your enemy with full magic or physical armor. You will lose action points for nothing.

When playing Divinity: Original Sin 2, you should try crafting as well. There are a lot of recipes that you can use. For instance, you can place a rune inside a weapon to boost its effectiveness. You can also combine weaker potions to create a more powerful one.

Here are other tips on how to conquer quests in Divinity: Original Sin 2 and win your games.

 

Know What Your Gear Does

You should go through your equipment on a regular basis and determine its exact functions and effects. The game offers a lot of gear that you might feel overwhelmed by the sheer number. You may find magical elven staff and even wheels of cheese.

Evaluate your inventory after a major quest, so you can determine what you have obtained and make sure that your team is prepared for upcoming fights. You can do this by a trader, so you can pick equipment for sale right after adjusting character load-out. This will likewise help keep your pack lean.

You also need to be ready for enemies with high immunity. Fights in the later part of the game practically always have enemies with invulnerabilities to various kinds of enchanted and physical attacks. Stock various items on every character for different battle situations. For instance, you use add weapons that have attack bonuses associated with the elemental characteristics of the game.
Your magical skills should have some variety, as well. What if you only have fire magic, and you encountered a creature that has resistance to this kind of magic? You will be defeated. By equipping yourself with various magical skills, you can fight different kinds of mages and creatures confidently. It is also important to keep different sets of defensive items and key armor so that you can use them anytime during battle.

By doing so, you can defend against various kinds of opponents. Managing your inventory might take time and effort, but you will not mind how loaded your pack has become if you can effectively attack and defend against your foes.

High-Level Gear

Some items have extra magical skills and serious attribute buffs but have a low base number in magical and physical armor. This is why you should pay attention to higher-level gear. If there’s a weapon that you don’t use often, you should not be so quick to sell it. There are different kinds of foes in the game, so you will definitely need various gear and weapons to fight and defeat them.
It’s better to have a useful piece of armor or weapon in your backpack during an intense fight than cash. Coins and gold will not help you at all, but the weapon that you are hiding just might. When buying an item, don’t be tempted by descriptive tags such as Legendary or by item levels. Look at the price of the item to evaluate the true value of an item. You can see an item’s sale value at the bottom of its description box.

Pet Pal

By using Pet Pal, you can communicate with animals in the Rivellon. You might be tempted to skip this skill because there are more important skills that you can use. However, your interactions with the Rivellon animals are some of the unforgettable moments in the game. Some animals can warn you of threats ahead and open up quests. Most provide a bit of sadness or comic relief.

Bigger and Better

You should equip your characters with Bigger and Better as soon as possible. This talent immediately gives 2 additional attribute points that allow you to improve key stats such as Constitution and Strength. Bigger and Better also gives you an opening in the early part of the game. The added points can give you an advantage in the opening fights. Success or failure depends on these two points and how they improve the combat effectiveness of your character.

Magical Runes

Magical runes can power-up items, weapons, and armor, so you should not forego this tool when you want to engage in combat. Make sure that your gear with run slots is always available because they offer considerable bonuses to defense and damage.

Since magical runes are associated with various game elements, you can use these tools to better handle foes with immunities and to focus on various forms of attacks. For instance, you can replace a 2-handed sword that has air-bonus runes with an axe that has water-bonus runes. You can use this weapon if you are fighting with a goon that has heavy air immunities.

Examine

Knowing the abilities of your enemies can help a lot, especially during the later stages of the game. Right-click on your opponent and pick Examine at the beginning of every fight. By choosing the Examine option, you will see a full description of the opponent’s comprehensive statistics such as immunities to magical and physical attacks.

You don’t want to give an advantage to your opponents. Don’t just charge in blindly. For instance, don’t cast Fossil Strike on an opponent with full Earth magic immunity. If you make a single mistake during a fight, you might lose a fight in the final stage of the game.

It also helps to mark the map and write down notes. Don’t expect too much if you want to track the quests you have completed in the in-game journal. It is best to keep your own notepad to record key points on paper. You should also check the map on a regular basis when you visit locations. This way, you can see which locations have been marked and which ones are clear. You can place a text and blue flag in the unmarked location, so you will know what you can find there.

This might seem like a bothersome and time-consuming task, but keeping records is important in a long and complex game like Divinity: Original Sin 2. If you can’t find anything on the map or the in-game journal doesn’t have enough data about a quest, you can turn to your map markers and notes to make things easier for you. Tracking data manually makes the game more charming and your victory much sweeter because you have put in the effort and time required to defeat your foes.

Gloves of Teleportation

Gloves of Teleportation have low stats and value, but you should not ignore or get rid of them. These items are important at various key moments in the game, from start to finish. Gloves of Teleportation can be sued to quickly reach foes in elevated or slightly distant locations.

You can also use these gloves to take short cuts through major quests. Gloves of Teleportation are particularly useful when you have to access locations that are otherwise unreachable or to ascend floating islands.

These gloves can also help you gain an advantage when you are dealing with major combats such as the final scuffle in the Red Prince plot. You can use the gloves to teleport party members to the battle arena. They can then destroy the black mirrors to prevent foes from respawning.

Haste

Haste can help you defeat enemies with ranged weapons and spellcasters because these opponents don’t want to engage in close-quarters fights. By equipping your characters with Haste, they will become sprinters and reach enemies quickly. This is particularly beneficial when you are fighting with numerous enemies spread on elevated platforms and across the battleground.

Terrain Transmutation

Terrain Transmutation can help you deal with environmental issues. You can use this skill to get rid of what is underfoot like ice or oil and replace it with grass or basic rocks nearby. With this, you can focus on the game because you don’t have to worry about stepping on something that can ruin your game.

Terrain Transmutation is particularly useful when you are dealing with the Necrofire in the Lizard Consulate in Arx. You use Terrain Transmutation to move the Necrofire as far away as possible to prevent the foes from infinitely respawning.

Sneaking

Sneaking is important even if the game is mostly about fireball-on-fireball and sword fights. You can try sneaking during tougher fights to gain an edge on your foes. Sneaking allows you to get close enough to the Shriekers to defeat them with Source Vampirism.

Are you fighting Doctor Daeva? You can sneak Sebille, an assassin type hero, close to this villain before prompting his dialogue. If you do it right, you can defeat Doctor Daeva before he evolves into his final demon form. Even the toughest of games can become easy if you use this skill properly.

Resurrection

Resurrection allows you to revive the dead. If you want to survive in the later part of the game, you should bring as many Resurrection scrolls as possible.

Strong Will

It certainly helps if you have quick access to armor and healing potions, but you will definitely want to add Strong Will to your characters’ packs. By using this red concoction, your teammates won’t be affected by the majority of mental spells that cause them to be cursed, scared, or charmed. Expect to fight monsters with such effects and mages in the later part of the game, so having Strong Will can help you counter them.

Morning Person

Morning Person is a valuable talent that you can use when you have to constantly resurrect your team members during fights because the standard revival brings them back with a very low health status. They are likely to be killed again soon. Morning Person ensures that resurrected heroes are brought back with full health.

Take this skill with all characters as soon as possible when leveling up. Morning Person is particularly important for key characters in fights. Using this skill significantly boosts your options of defeating harder battles in the later part of the game as it can bring your members back to life and ready to battle almost instantaneously after being killed.

Spirit Vision

The ability to spot and communicate with otherwise concealed ghosts becomes more critical in the later part of the game because they often hold key information for the successful completion of quests. Spirit Vision reveals hidden parts of the game. For instance, Spirit Vision can reveal the dimensional doorway in Arx. You can acquire the Spirit Vision skill about halfway through the game.

Wits Score

Boosting your Wits will also help. If you have a high Wits character stat, you will be able to spot hidden archways, buried loot chests, and secret doors. At least one member of your team should be constantly adding to the Wit score. Otherwise, you will miss an opportunity to get key information and take on quests required to solve the many mysteries of the game. Peace of Mind also increases a character’s Wits Score. If you are stumped, you can use this skill to improve your game performance.

If you really want to win, you can consider cheating. You want to escape the intense fights in the game. Observe your surroundings closely when you destroy or reorganize potentially deadly items such as oil barrels or when you are defeated before joining a second go-round.

Some fights require this kind of approach, especially the battle with Voidwoken to save Gwydian. Rearranging the oil barrels properly reduces the amount of Necrofire that can overwhelm your team. If you don’t make these changes, the whole area will blow up in this fire. You can also surround Gwydian with well-placed boxes. His poor AI will compel him to kill himself.

If you did not succeed on your first try, don’t give up. Your failure or success often depends on skill checks during conversations. If you fail at a persuasion check, an NPC will be turned off, and quests will be locked. You will have a harder time completing the quests. Try each conversation with all members of your team. If you fail on your first try, you should continue until you have run through your whole party. Doing so can help you determine dialogue options and see what a character wants to say.

Try these strategies and find the one that suits you best. You may not succeed on the first try, but don’t give up. Take this as a chance to assess your actions and errors. You can then correct your mistakes in the next round.
