      Tip: Thievery 1 on fane, unlocks everything in Fort Joy and to steal from anyone just split your party and talk to the merchant, then switch to Fane (or whoever with thievery) allows you to freely pick some items and gold. Then you can fight them, you won't encounter most of them again in the game, and loot them. Got out of Fort Joy with level 5 and three rows of skillbooks.
      Tip 2: Every character requires a different composition, but memory is the most important stat for anyone. Don't just blindly give memory points to your characters, but memory should nearly always be paired with the other higher stat of the character. At least until level 8 or 9 (but I assure you wizards or hybrid classes want it forever).

    Well, the healing ring is cool and all but not necessary. Whats much more important is that giving the ring back to magister yarrow earns you the "hero" tag in addition to your other 2 tags (like "soldier" or "mystic"). This tag unlocks unique dialoque actions which is pretty cool and can be usefull!

      You can also get the Hero tag by doing a quest for Griff, When you find out who stole his orange. If you don't sell the thief down the river, you'll have to fight Griff's whole crew, but whoever talks to Griff before the start of the fight gets the hero tag.

      It occured to me that I killed him before I talked to Yarrow. I thought it was one of those situations where you cant back off from fight. I am playing on the second hardest difficulty, and it took me a few tries to beat him (had only 3 party members at that time. I was kinda pissed she took the ring from me, so I, ehmm...pickpockted it from her. I am not cold when it comes to loot, but restoration ring is gold worthy, and the armor is essential for my frontier lizard >:)
      Also the hero tag I received after confrontig Griff... good thing I had Butter on my side or I might of never life through it, had all my members except my own down.

    Don't do what he says for Migo's questline. Just don't. You're missing out on a ton of gold and a decent (better than Hildur's plate) stating breastplate if you do. Migo's questline can be resolved as follows:
    Find a yarrow flower (there's one at the bottom of the broken bridge where you get the shovel and bedroll) > talk to Migo and select the dialogue that gives him the yarrow flower > receive Migo's ring > take the ring to Magister Yarrow and tell her where Migo is > return to Migo and talk to both of them.
    Doing this will complete the quest and you will receive the Magister's Key, quest rewards, and exp. What's important is the key, behind the plague lady's tent there's a crumbling castle with a ladder that's not within reach. Teleport up to the ladder and you can release it for the rest of your party to use. Once you're up be sure to sneak. At this point going left (sneaking) will eventually lead you to a red tent with a breastplate sitting in it that can easily be stolen. It's worth mentioning that there is one guard patrolling this area so be sure to quicksave often as being caught is certain death. Once you've returned with the breastplate opening the door with the Magister's Key that you got from Magister Yarrow will bring you to a room filled with expensive paintings, loot, and a blood rain skill book. (Note: the heavier paintings will leave you immobile, I like to talk to a merchant with my barter character while my strength character picks up the painting then transfers it to the barter character's inventory to sell). The rest of what's explorable in the Magister's castle contains a decent amount of valuable paintings and what's probably the quickest and easiest escape route from fort joy in the game (take a left after the first room, then a right, then a left, sneak (duh) move the boxes and you're free).
    Also Migo and Yarrow's lives are already pretty sad no need to make it harder on them by killing them. Lol, sorry for the super long post. Also sorry for my shitty directions, try a video guide if this didn't help.

      I did this as well and the fights take less time and I almost never lose a party member. Those first 6 or 7 levels are crucial for your party. You don't want to be spending an hour+ for every battle because you botched up your builds all the way to Act 2. *Pro tip: Go with an all physical damage party on your first playthrough it's so much easier than balancing physical/magical. If you set it up like Tank > Rogue > Hunter/Summoner > Enchanter (2 in all elements for the buff skills and then Necro, because it does physical damage yet scales off intelligence.) This is what I did and now I'm flying through each fight. I'll get more creative on the next playthrough but I've never really been a wizard Harry!

    Little tip for some food recipes and bedroll: while you're on the ship, there are a few bedrolls on the bunk beds in the center. Also opposite the door to the dining room(triggers cutscene) you will find Ifan and a guard. There is a door behind ifan that goes to the kitchen, grape the key from a nearby barrel and go inside, you will find some food items and on the wall is a paper sheet, click it to learn a handful of recipes.

    Bedroll is already to be found on the starter ship in the main room. and a shovel = bowl + long branch
    Lone wolf with 1 companion is OP, using dual summoners/necromancers. Seriously, give it a try
    My favourite tip:
    Use 1 character to talk to npc, use other to sneak behind the npc and pickpocket all the skillbooks, you need and learn them before npc finds out he got robbed (using skillbook deletes it from inv.) or just teleport the thief away to a waypoint and have the npc search the character that remains behind.

    @elvarght 6 ปีที่แล้ว +33

    Thievery tips: Every people that sell stuff have their items in their inventory which mean, can be stolen.
    1. distract the npc with another character
    2. put yourself into sneak mod behind him
    3. click on the character (carefull about other npcs running around, if you are in a deep red zone, you'll fail)
    4. get out as far as possible, they will look for some sec for you
    You have 1 stealing shot per target so use the guy with the highest thievery so you can steal as much stuff as possible. It's very usefull if you want to get spells, equipement and resurection scroll easily

    Another tip for before arriving at Fort Joy, if you take thievery one, you can steal the healing potions, and revive scrolls from the unconscious companions, after Windego's source blast. If you talk to the companions again when you meet them they will have their items back, and you can get multiple healing items and revive scrolls.

  • @clonesharpshooter101
    @clonesharpshooter101 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    One thing you can do after completing the final engagement you wish on the island is to speak to the well in Braccus Rex’s tower after saturating it with water. Typically, you will be at or near level 9 (or 10 if you are a psychopath) when you’ve finished all the duties on Fort Joy. This is important to do at this stage, because the rewards forthcoming scale to your current level, meaning stronger stat rolls. Save before paying the well’s fare for 150 gold, and keep rolling for the ring or belt that you want. After that, use the Mask of the Shapeshifter that you can find on Wendigo or if Fane can create one to change into another race to pay the toll again for another ring or belt! You can always save before paying the fare for a quick re-roll. Just always make sure to save after receiving one with enough stats that help your character, never want something tragic to happen like quickloading on accident after a god roll.

  • @MrFuggleGuggle
    @MrFuggleGuggle 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Tips:
    1) Elves can eat dead limbs, torsos, heads, and other body parts for story info and even learning some free permanent skills. Whether you make an elf, use Sebille from the start, or recruit Sebille to your party - don't forget to have Sebille (or your own elves) pick up and eat dead limbs.
    2) Ifan (as his default Wayfarer class) is IMHO the easiest starting character, and his Pet Pals perk allows for conversations/quests with animals. Having a ranged physical damage dealer early and mid game makes things a lot easier if you know how to use and position him in a fight. Give him the Elemental Ranger talent to ensure his continued usefulness in combat throughout the game.
    3) Gold early on in Fort Joy is hard to find, so getting skillbooks and items quickly by putting 2 or 3 points in Thievery on one character can make things a lot easier. However, make sure to save often before attempting such theft, and remember that after successfully pickpocketing someone once and closing the pop-up - you cannot pickpocket them again thereafter.
    4) Fane and undead characters in general present a lot of unique challenges, so I would honestly recommend not using them as at least your "main" character until you are better familiar with the mechanics. Poison pools and spells heal them, Healing spells hurt them, and many NPCs will react with fear or disgust without the proper precautions or masks/hoods equipped. Best advantage undead have is that their bony limbs can be used as free Lockpicks for chests and doors - assuming their Thievery skill rating is pumped high enough.
    5) Healing and elemental skills (Pyromancy, Hydrosophist, Aerotheurge) are great, but you might find a point or two in Summoning magic with the Conjure Incarnate skill, or Polymorphism and the Chicken Claw skill to be invaluable (hex enemies by turning them into chickens!). Fane and Lohse are probably the best characters overall to put points in Summoning, while Beast, Sebille, or The Red Prince are best for Polymorphism. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised :) .

    For those who like to play Lonewolf I recomand this awesome combo : choose Human Undead : you get Dome of Protection you gain armor and magical armor each turns for 5 turns (1 action point + 1 source point) it's a very strong skill, you get also +5 % critical chance & +10% critical damage at the begining find Fane and hire him, his special power is Time Warp (2PA + 1S) at the end of your turn you gain a free round wich is OP, obviously as a undead you are immuned to poison and can open doors without lockpicks 👌 also poison heals you and makes Geomancer a great choise koz you have a lot of crowd controls, Aoe and poison Dot spells to heal yourself or mate, but there is better, what else could synergise well with Earth magic ? The strongest is Pyrotechnic : every times the geomancer create petrol and poison areas your fire spells will make them explode for a lot more extra damages, it's powerful, take as soon as you can Living Armor and raise Necromancy : every times you use a spell you recover vitality and magical armor, Savage Sortilege for more critical chances and Torturer for your Geomancer : your crowd control spells will bypass phys. & magical Armor 👌
    Raise fire resistance on both characters, since you reach 100% fire and poison dmg will heal you as well magical armor.

  • @7x9000
    @7x9000 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    A tip I've experienced:
    Lone Wolf is overpowered. If you and a friend want to do a run together, get the Lone Wolf perk.
    It doubles all combat-related stats and attributes (no civil abilities) and gives you a 30% boost to health and both armor types.
    With this, you can get your combat stats to double their max.
    Another two good perks for spellcasters are the Savage Sortelige (I forget how to spell it...) which gives you Spell Crit, and Elemental Affinity, which reduces the cost of all spells as long as you are standing in that element.
    The latter is great for a Pyromancer (because everything's gonna be on fire anyways) or an Undead, since poison heals you, you can deal more damage while healing yourself (but it'll probably explode anyways(.

    My tip is to enjoy the game and not worry if you miss a quest because you kill the wrong person.
    A replay where you get things right is fun. On a higher difficulty setting.

      Covfefe Dk The thing is if you miss multiple quests (like we did in oir first run) you get through half the game and realize you're 2 levels under everything and you have to restart.

    Know that the cat will bind to one of your companions. So first get the cat if you want it for your own character then get someone in your party. (The red prince)

    The Yarrow flower is near the guarded gate, kinda behind the tent the diseased woman is in.

    Most people miss the elevated area behind the first waypoint you find on the island.

    how early are you supposed to leave fort joy? my friend and I have been playing for almost 30 hours and hit level 7 recently and we just did the rally with gareth thing at the shrieker camp, are we heavily behind for our level?

    How could anyone forget the mask of shape shifting which is located outside of fort joy. You will have to kill that evil woman who sunk the ship in the first place but trust me its an easy win after that just loot her corpse and enjoy btw its literally the most useful item in the game for undead
