Hahahaha same! This video was about as helpful as a fork for a bowl of soup. Talks too quick and assumes the person watching has a basic grasp of the game. Didn't even finish the video before I commented !
Just play up to Fort Joy and try to do the quests. Make mistakes and then come back and watch the video. Everything will be clearer. Then you can apply the tips.
@Anonymous it's not common sense though. It's an application of a video game trope (although it arguably has roots in folk tales and older symbolism). A lot of things that are clear as day to us can appear quite convoluted to people with no experience in video games (e.g. that red barrels/boxes implies interactive explosives).
For those struggling early on in Fort Joy, you're not alone. I felt the same way, it seemed like I was just barely scraping by in what seemed like normal fights. However, I kept at it, kept experimenting and learning more about all the different skill trees and how they worked and interacted with others, and suddenly, it was like I cleared a hurdle and was finding fights that I struggled with before to be much simpler. It'll click, just give it time, this game is well worth it.
@@brandonblackfyre5783 It effects how you progress through the story, but there's no right or wrong. You're allowed to make your way through the game as you see fit. I've done runs where I killed as little as possible, and I've done runs where I went on a rampage and took out every Magister I could find. That's what makes the game so fun, there are a myriad of ways to approach any given scenario.
No it’s really not. Literally the entire "turorial" is just half baked mechanics and bad story quests which want to GIVE the illusion you can do it multiple ways but in reality it wants you to pick specific classes with specific skills and if you don’t well fuck you.
For anyone struggling in the beginning on fort joy there are 3 characters around a table playing a card game. Avoid those characters, have restoration spell, first aid, restoration scroll, or migo's ring. Head (I believe) south towards the cave and you'll find a man on his back. Use healing spell on that man and he'll reward you with a card you can use to win that game. You'll get gold and if you want can still kill those 3 characters
LOL! I managed to weasel my way out of paying his "protection fee" by telling him with a puppy dog face that i have no money in my pockets. He bought it and let me go. :)
@TastyGamingQc what a dumb take. So you don't even pick anything up unless it's usefull because selling anything would be pointless since gold isn't useful yet?
@@BooserBoi did YOU find a use for gold in this game ? All weapons and armors drop from enemies. Same for potions and scrolls. Beside you can just steal anything. Soooo yeah gold is pretty useless…
The thing about these early Divinity fights is that you don't know much about the inner workings of the game. Let me just list some more advanced tips: 1) If you engage in conversation with an enemy before an inevitable fight, you can buff the ever living crap out of the character in dialogue and the buffs won't tick down. You can also modify the environment with either water, oil, or poison without enemies noticing you as long as you neither attack directly in front of them or hit them with the attack. Rain in particular is great for certain fights if you have a high level Aerotheuge in your party. 2) Having 2 levels in Aerotheurge is practically mandatory for any build due to Teleportation, Nether Swap, and Uncanny Evasion. These skills are practically the penultimate in battlefield manipulation and are essential tools for setting up combos or staying alive in a pinch. 3) Jar of Mind Maggots + Empty Grenade = A 4 turn charm grenade with massive range. This thing is amazing at trivializing difficult fights. Make sure not to sell them though because there's a very limited number of them that spawn throughout the game. 4) Instantaneous movement skills such as Tactical Retreat, Cloak and Dagger, and Phoenix Dive are pretty much required for any build to have at least one of. Ranged builds should definitely take advantage of the Huntsman requirement to gain Height damage boosts as well as Tactical Retreat, where as physical type players would benefit most from either using Phoenix Dive or Spread your Wings. Cloak and Dagger is most useful when positioning yourself for a preemptive strike against a group of enemies, but is typically the weakest of all the movement skills when outside of sneaking or invisibility. 5) On Classic or harder difficulties, you can cheese out a ton of rare gear by either late in Act 1 or early in Act 2 and onwards by investing heavily in Lucky Charm on one of your party members. At around 6 or 7 points invested, you will start to see Legendary items drop pretty frequently, allowing you to adequately gear your team through the drops alone, or from the gold that you would get from selling them. 6) Raise your attitude with crucial vendors who you want to either sell to or buy from. For a fraction of the price in either gold or goods (typically goods is better since donations are given at a non-diminished value), you can donate to a character to improve their prices on items when buying or selling. This is on top of and despite the Bartering skill, allowing you to essentially avoid the Bartering skill for the entirety of Act 1 until you can take advantage of the mirror on the Lady Vengeance. Keep in mind though, if you get in combat with any NPC and Flee, they will instantly drop to -45 attitude despite their previous number. 7) Make your own pixie dust as much as possible. You can create bone & star dust by combining Mortar and Pestle with any bone or stardust herb respectively. This is important because these materials are used in refining runes into a higher rank or creating runes from scratch. 8) Herb mixes can be stocked up in the Undertavern in Act 2. When combining these with a drudanae pipe, you can get a strong 50 turn duration buff which can be used on much harder fights in order to trivialize them. You can also combine these herb mixes with certain void-tainted fish in order to make them a 100 turn duration (just keep trying to combine the herb mixes with every different kind of void-tainted fish to find out the recipes).
@@Yuras649 Yeah... I have been playing the last 3-4 days and I have a better grasp of how the game works. But tbh I spent half of the time reading guides/builds. It has been worth so far! Super fun game

I'd have to disagree with you I try to make the coolest character I can I don't go for the strongest when I play Divinity I like to role-play so I usually make my character siblings they're trying to become the strongest Warriors in the world
Thanks! I played the original release until I got stuck in Wrecker's Cave around level 12 or so, then something else came out and I lost interest. Excited to start a new run and finish the game. I appreciate all these videos for games like Pillars and D:OS2. I pray we continue to get amazing CRPGs like these so you can keep making these tutorials and guides
I've only played for maybe 3 hours so far. I picked a pyromancer for my first character. I take comfort in the fact that when they kill me easily they are mildly inconvenienced by the fact that they are on fire. For real though it's been a struggle. There was no indication that this was a bad idea in character creation. Fire just seemed like a standard choice.
I was a jack of all trades summoner pyro. Never lost a fight in fort joy thanks to lone wolf buff. To be honest I did not even know how to sneak so I fought everyone. I was a monster.
here's the most valuable tip imho. when you finish. if you think you wasted some level points up in fort joy you do not despair. you board a ship to leave fort joy in the end of act 1. there is a mirror in the lowest level of that ship you can literally go back there anytime you want and rearrange your whole level points there. I started this game 3 times over without leaving fort joy thinking I fcked up my build and need to start over. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO START OVER you can keep rebuilding your character if you find a cool spell you wanna main along the way. I started with a rogue, died too much then converted that character into a wayfarer ranged spell caster.
I just bought divinity 2. I spent fifteen minutes on tactical killing a sheep as fane on the boat and then killing nearly everything else with necromancy. Best game.
Wow really? I am a few hours into the game and didn't even realize during character creation that you could change the race and skills of your characters..
I bought this game about 30 hours in to Baldurs gate 3. I was like hold on this studio needs more of my money. After spending 100s of hours on BG3 I’m about to give this game a go in 2024
Thank you, very helpful. Had no problem with the magisters after getting the collar removed, but wasn't ready and left Fort Joy too soon and got my butt handed to me.
just bought this on a deep sale during summer steam sale event and can't wait to start it! i'm sure i'll enjoy story mode the most and not have to worry about character build, difficult fights and all that. I will still enjoy the combat but i mostly play for story and exploration and environment now
@@kokkolar I know this comes late, but maybe it will help somebody else. It resets on leveling up thievery, not character (equiping/removing +thievery gear doesn't count).
Thank you for this. I played DOS1 about a month ago but I found the mechanics overwhelming and I stopped playing because of it. When I saw that DOS2 had such high ratings and was recommended by a lot of people, I figured I couldn't miss out. So I started playing 2 and I'm still struggling in and around fort joy, really takes some getting used to. Your guide gave me advice on how to proceed, I'm going to build a new character now. The only thing that's missing are your party formations, I can't recall how many times I've been AOD' at the beginning of combat because my formation was fucked up, I had no idea that was a thing. I would've wished you said a little more on party composition as well, but ah well.
The beginning area of the game is a true test imo, and I got my ass handed to me, and I also came from playing the first game. This guide is specifically designed for players like us xD
I saw DS2 and i even did not knew of its excistance, so i just bought DS1 just too try it out if this is my sorta game, hell yeah lol. With all the freedome, outcome and leaving you in total darkness, its old school gaming all over again. And that with the technoligy of a ps4 concole, wicked. I thing every old rpg lover would freak out playing this game. It brings so much joy back too my life.
Still haven't made any real progress in this game as I am super indecisive but really enjoying the Crystalline Cleric with the Hydromania party comp. Thanks Cas your guides helped tremendously!
As a newbie that just recently done all I can in Fort Joy Ghetto, my best advice is to TAKE IT SLOW. Because I'm the player that like to brute-force my way through challenges, rather than do the rational thing of coming back later, I wasted almost 2 hours fighting the Magisters on the shipwreck with the elf when I was level 1 with two party members. Needless to say, I got my ass handed to me over and over again.
@AstarionWifey Absolutely not. Most of those 50 hours were just spent pickpocketing and reloading saves. "Taking it slow" varies from person to person. Just play the game how you want to play. Learning how the game works is more valuable than doing what's the most optimized
My first play through i watched videos like this to help cut the learning curve but one of my favorite things that I found on my own was when I decided to make Thane my lockpicking guy. To my surprise he doesn’t need any lock picks and just uses his finger bones to pick locks
Pretty much useless for actual beginners, just call this video ''useful skills to take in Divinity Original Sin 2'' because that's all you really talk about.
For those who struggle in the beginning I recommend either making a dwarf custom character or taking a point into sneak in character creation. There is a point where you can steal items from the origin characters and I recommend it, take it all. After getting to fort joy you can recruit then and they'll have an inventory once again. If you don't plan on taking someone like beast for example recruit him anyway so you can grab extra items. If this has changed in the new version someone please correct me.
If you wanna have some real fun, get deep into crafting and the items you can make will BLOW your mind. Jar of Mind Maggots, turn it into a grenade, 8m radius explosion, sets Charmed 4 turns !!! Insane ! You won't get many but the day you need them, the effect will be memorable :) So many more amazing grenades and consumables that deepen your playthrough and experience.
I just ordered this from Amazon and I couldn't be more excited to play........but its been awhile since I played Turn-Based, hopefully between this guide and just playing/experimenting in-game, I will have fun!! So many people have said great things about DOS 2 that I had to try it out.
You say don’t lead with battering ram so you don’t “waste the CC” but you don’t say what CC is. Isn’t this supposed to be for beginners and not jargon aficionados?
This explains a lot because I was a new player playing with friends that started with pyro then with necromancy so I only started recently trying to get some other skills to add in.
The Spectre Silver not in the first act. Just two groups have serious fire resistance in the first act you will know when u see them. Any fire mages, which you run into less than other elemental mages in the first act. I can remember 2 fire mages.
The Spectre Silver True it doesn’t have hard disables but if you can get it on the ground and enemies have to walk on it to get to you it can destroy an enemies shield and health with the damage tics.
Still, the lack of hard disables makes it a bit difficult to kill some bosses. I do find Geomancer's hard disables to be gimmicky though, it does magical damage, but the disable is a physical armor one. Hydro and Aero have great disables, even though it requires the target to have a condition such as wet, chilled, or shocked. But can lack a little in the damage department, since neither have DOT. Fire is great if you can position properly though
These are all great tips I wish I knew before I'd started. I now find myself at 3rd level, having spent all my precious gold on decent armor (since my squad keeps getting squished) and now I realize I should have spent some of that gold on skill books that I wasn't psychic enough to choose during character creation. So now I can't seem to beat anyone else to get more gold to buy the skilll books I need. My main question here: Where in blazes can I get more gold?
I played divinity original sin 1 long back. It's very tough in the initial stages even in normal difficulty but later on it gets a bit easier. I wish they had added moving blocks like wasteland 2.
Just bought this game yesterday because I played baulders gate 3 and thought it was the greatest game I've ever played in my life and I have to say that DOS2 is right on par with BG3...I have absolutely fallen in love with CRPGs because of this studio that created these masterpieces...I do have a question... should I play a custom character or should I play one of the ones already made? I want to create a custom character but I heard it's better to play one of the already created Characters and I'm not sure what to do
At least you got outta the first real zone, I'm still stuck on the beach with a weakass storm mage, getting routinely cutbstomped by an angry cannibal.
@@L0-C01 lol, I gave up. I really preferred the first game, it made more sense. The whole magical armour thing in this one is just kinda awful, and the fact that your starting abilities seriously determine how well you're gonna do for a while means that you need to have quite a bit of knowledge to actually make a decent starting character. Game was just too frustrating.
@@a_fuckin_spacemarine7514 haha I don’t even know what magical armour is so I would have been ruined by the sound of it. After watching this video it kind of made me want to try again but I remembered it being nightmarish last time haha
Choosing a class, attributes, skills, etc before beginning an RPG is like being forced to choose your college major when you are 10 years old: Unreasonable and unfair to expect anyone to make an informed decision with so little knowledge and experience, almost guaranteeing you’ll have regrets later. It’s still my favorite genre, but it’s very, very irritating unless you can alter the choices you’ve made mid-game. This video is an example of that. So... ... If you want to make the learning curve softer, start on explorer and switch to classic once you have some equipment. Starting on classic may give you a bad impression if you’ve never played before but stick with it. Remember that all RPGs on a harder difficulty (Witcher 3’s hardest difficulty comes to mind), are only brutal until you get the hang of it. Smart playing can even make you OP. Do whatever you can to keep playing because persistence will be rewarded with one of greatest RPGs in gaming and quitting would be a damn shame.
I cannot wait to buy this on payday! Baldur's Gate 3 has got me into cRPG's hard and the wider D&D universe. Growing up I played a lot of turn based games like Heroes of Might and Magic and even Final Fantasy so I have taken to this style of game very quickly. I am very happy to give Larian studios money and will be buying every single game they have ever created. Shame I cannot say the same about FFXIV Dawntrail but their bad writing benefits the creators of these incredible games.
When you start a new game head to the gate of the joy. Go to the right side of the stairs there should be a ladder. Use it, And you can completely avoid talking to the bishop when you start. Once your in joy. Level up to 5 without leaving the joy (*NOTE I never left joy it might still work if ya come back) . Now when you return they should still be talking. Take the ladder again and hopefully your ready. fortify your ranged units and attack the ghiest. Make sure you can keep them fortified because the bishop knows nether swap. Which is a teleport spell and with the effect fortified you cannot be teleported. Now at this point the magisters should either be taking the ladder or the long way to you. this will take 3 turns for them to attack your group (5 or 6 for the long way) But they should not be a problem cause of your high level the problem are the gheist with there high burst damage. Your goal is to kill the gheist. They know backlash so they will be teleporting to you. If you have the skill teleport deal with them one at a time by throwing one of them back to the bishop. The hammer for some reason cannot use ladders so she will not be scary unless you get close to her. By now you should have one ghiest attacking you and the other already used backlash. Focus your attacks on the first ghiest and make sure you have plenty of stuns. Since they are level 8 they have no problem killing you with 4 ap. Once you kill 1 you should INSTANTLY turn level 6 restoring all of your health. This should take 3 turns to kill him if not then then the other ghiest will appear. If you have a summoner leaver your totem behind your group and your summon should stay with your group so they can apply the flanking bonus to the ghiest. The magisters will chip at you but you MUST kill the ghiest first or you will lose. Once both are dead target either the bishop or the hammer. Once either one of them hits half health they will flee. And you will have achieved the achievement Hammered. she will also leave her weapon behind , Its gives + 2 in strength , Intelligence and necromancy. If you just want to cheese it follow the guide but in story difficulty. You will still reap the awards. And don't forget to stock up on potions.
Bought this game a few yrs ago, put about 17 hrs into it and stopped playing although it was enjoyable. So today I've decided to start playing again on a new save and hopefully beat it at some point lol😅
My 2 cents - unless you're playing the hardest dificulty mode and min-maxing, go for roleplay and the origin stories you consider more interesting. Me, I choose Lose over Sebille even if Sebille make the game's best ranger (elf racial + elemental ranger is crazy good). Didn't regret it, Lose has such a cool origin slotyline with her inner demon.
Thanks for this, lots of great tips! Looks like I'll be outfitting Lohse as a thief from now on. I need more gear - just got my ass handed to me in a lvl2 fight with no gear on tactician mode 😅
Howdy friend. Thanks so much for all of the time and effort. I was wondering if the dual weilding dagger build is up to date? I just purchased the game about 2 weeks ago and have logged over 64 hours with my bestfriend. I do not see the need for super high wits with the dual weilding dagger rouge because of the backstab...battle stomp and cloak and dagger abilities. I instead pumped those points into finesse and constitution with some into memory. Am I doing it wrong?
well, i am restarting my game tonight, played as Fane up to the start of chapter 2 and after a certain fight there, he had almost no health left and i did not know that bedrolls ever where a thing in this game, much less what they did. Was mostly either waitng to find more poison or hoping i could find a skill that allowed me to cast poison on him like a restoration spell.
Did this video mention the ooze barrel trick? I don't think it did. Although I know it's mentioned in the comments. On the tutorial ship you can find an ooze barrel and have basically infinite healing for Fane (or any undead) as long as you have food or empty potion bottles to combine with the barrel for poisoned things to heal him
I put 100 hours into the original. But I stopped playing. It's been so long, when I came back to it, I was so lost. But I finally bought this one and I'm so pumped. The original is my favorite game, almost ever.
I played a couple hours of the original on PC then faded off. Just got this one on sale on PS4 and I've been ridiculously hooked since. It's been about 4 days and I'm well over 50 hours in lol.. No plans on letting up either! It's just so rich and so rewarding.
Got the same problem but I cannot win any of the quest fights if I am even able to figure out how to get to the quest it's not going well to say the least
Cas is the best I bought this game on sale and just got off the ship and I am not very good 🤣 trying to make the correct decisions and trying to get used to it and that’s why I’m here need some guides on it’s. It’s a good game lot to learn and the red prince is cool too and have a rodent following me 🤣 dlc I think 🤔 thanks again Cas.
Question, I had the Red Prince become a wizard (Wizard Lizard just liked the sound) and he only has fire spells. My question is was it wasted to make him a wizard because he should only focus on being a fire mage or should I have made him a warrior etc..
An "Hey I actually plan on doing that" or if you hadn't "hey good idea" would've been cool. Instead I say hey a new beginners guide would be cool if you think enough has changed and your reply is a link to a written beginners guide for the DE. No mention of what you would release the next day. Was it some kind of big secret you wanted to keep? I'm sure I wasn't the only to suggest (if I was right on) so would it have been hard to say to everyone good idea or did you want site traffic along with youtube traffic?? In every way kinda lame. But iget it's hard out there and seeing as I asked for this yesterday I appreciate it!!
I linked our guide, that we were already producing into a video, but I didn't know when it would be ready. In case you are new to our site, we almost always publish on the blog first, as writing a guide is the first step before making it into a video.
Lance Seaman need any tips and tricks? I've left 2 new comments for the beginning of the game. I could leave some here or make some more. Not as versed with the game as fextralife but I've about 200hrs in the game so I can do my best. Need any tips for early, mid, or late game?
I haven't got a clue how to play this game, and I don't know what the guy in the video is talking about. he says use Stomp.. what is stomp, and how do you get stomp? It's like people expect you to understand what a stomp is. Like in the English language you have a fight you say "Use stomp!" nobody will know what you are talking about.
So I know I’m late to the party but….I’ve been on fort joy. And it doesn’t seem to matter which merchant I go to for skills. My question is: are there certain vendors that can sell things only they have?? So say the one dies, I need to reload a save?
Excellent video, but I wouldn’t call this a beginner’s guide. I played DOS:EE and still had a hard time following along with this. This is more of a “After the Beginner’s Guide Tips and Tricks Guide”
Whats the difference between creating an own character and choosing a preset one? Does that effect the story? Is it better to choose a preset character for beginning?
Intimidated is the absolute best way to describe it. I just started yesterday and it’s awesome, but I feel like I am standing at the bottom of Everest looking up. Without any climbing equipment. Still though, that same intimidation is also what draws me to the game
@@CompleteProducer84 playing on switch or something else? Haven't seen a lot of reports on performance other than it looks muddy. I've honestly always been a gameplay above visuals guy, but it can't be completely broken either.
Zuko I’m on Switch. Performance-wise it runs great so far, but I did have one crash already, right when I got to Fort Joy (early in the game). No frame rate issues, and I think the game looks great. I haven’t played it on PC at all so I can’t really make any comparisons, but it is a great game to have on a handheld
Zuko Awesome. I was about 35 hours into Fire Emblem (was really taking my time) and I stopped because so many games came out. The game is great but it may be awhile before I get back to it. Divinity seems a little more my speed because I absolutely love exploration
I appreciate these guides but for "beginners" guides they either skim over or not even touch on the very basics of starting your first game and what you need to know to just get started. They all assume some familiarity. Nevertheless I appreciate them.
I will require a beginners guide for this beginner guide video.
Same
Lol...and I thought I was alone so I didn't comment.
Hahahaha same! This video was about as helpful as a fork for a bowl of soup. Talks too quick and assumes the person watching has a basic grasp of the game. Didn't even finish the video before I commented !
Haha same! This is like a pro beginners guide! I dont care if they call me noob
Just play up to Fort Joy and try to do the quests. Make mistakes and then come back and watch the video. Everything will be clearer. Then you can apply the tips.
I knew I was a noob at this game when I tried to heal Fane with a health potion and killed him instead
Find a way to Poison him and he'll regain his vigor.
@Anonymous a potion isnt holy.
@Anonymous it's not common sense though. It's an application of a video game trope (although it arguably has roots in folk tales and older symbolism).
A lot of things that are clear as day to us can appear quite convoluted to people with no experience in video games (e.g. that red barrels/boxes implies interactive explosives).
Tripticket final Fantasy had a few bosses that die from healing spells as well.
it makes sense but may not be common sense, so yeah.
Dean Cutler same
For those struggling early on in Fort Joy, you're not alone. I felt the same way, it seemed like I was just barely scraping by in what seemed like normal fights. However, I kept at it, kept experimenting and learning more about all the different skill trees and how they worked and interacted with others, and suddenly, it was like I cleared a hurdle and was finding fights that I struggled with before to be much simpler. It'll click, just give it time, this game is well worth it.
I felt the opposite now i am getting my own verision of the game
I killed everyone in Fort Joy. Is that bad? All the magisters I mean
@@brandonblackfyre5783 It effects how you progress through the story, but there's no right or wrong. You're allowed to make your way through the game as you see fit. I've done runs where I killed as little as possible, and I've done runs where I went on a rampage and took out every Magister I could find. That's what makes the game so fun, there are a myriad of ways to approach any given scenario.
Does playing as Lone Wolf make the game more difficulty? Im finding the party management a bit of a pain..Im new to this type of game.Thanks!
No it’s really not. Literally the entire "turorial" is just half baked mechanics and bad story quests which want to GIVE the illusion you can do it multiple ways but in reality it wants you to pick specific classes with specific skills and if you don’t well fuck you.
For anyone struggling in the beginning on fort joy there are 3 characters around a table playing a card game. Avoid those characters, have restoration spell, first aid, restoration scroll, or migo's ring. Head (I believe) south towards the cave and you'll find a man on his back. Use healing spell on that man and he'll reward you with a card you can use to win that game. You'll get gold and if you want can still kill those 3 characters
Dyl C you can also let him die(somehow I always find him dead before I can heal him) and then loot his body to find the card
LOL! I managed to weasel my way out of paying his "protection fee" by telling him with a puppy dog face that i have no money in my pockets. He bought it and let me go. :)
Gold which has no purpose at that point.
@TastyGamingQc what a dumb take. So you don't even pick anything up unless it's usefull because selling anything would be pointless since gold isn't useful yet?
@@BooserBoi did YOU find a use for gold in this game ? All weapons and armors drop from enemies. Same for potions and scrolls. Beside you can just steal anything. Soooo yeah gold is pretty useless…
Just about to play this game for the first time. I’ve been hearing about it for years and now it’s time!
The thing about these early Divinity fights is that you don't know much about the inner workings of the game. Let me just list some more advanced tips:
1) If you engage in conversation with an enemy before an inevitable fight, you can buff the ever living crap out of the character in dialogue and the buffs won't tick down. You can also modify the environment with either water, oil, or poison without enemies noticing you as long as you neither attack directly in front of them or hit them with the attack. Rain in particular is great for certain fights if you have a high level Aerotheuge in your party.
2) Having 2 levels in Aerotheurge is practically mandatory for any build due to Teleportation, Nether Swap, and Uncanny Evasion. These skills are practically the penultimate in battlefield manipulation and are essential tools for setting up combos or staying alive in a pinch.
3) Jar of Mind Maggots + Empty Grenade = A 4 turn charm grenade with massive range. This thing is amazing at trivializing difficult fights. Make sure not to sell them though because there's a very limited number of them that spawn throughout the game.
4) Instantaneous movement skills such as Tactical Retreat, Cloak and Dagger, and Phoenix Dive are pretty much required for any build to have at least one of. Ranged builds should definitely take advantage of the Huntsman requirement to gain Height damage boosts as well as Tactical Retreat, where as physical type players would benefit most from either using Phoenix Dive or Spread your Wings. Cloak and Dagger is most useful when positioning yourself for a preemptive strike against a group of enemies, but is typically the weakest of all the movement skills when outside of sneaking or invisibility.
5) On Classic or harder difficulties, you can cheese out a ton of rare gear by either late in Act 1 or early in Act 2 and onwards by investing heavily in Lucky Charm on one of your party members. At around 6 or 7 points invested, you will start to see Legendary items drop pretty frequently, allowing you to adequately gear your team through the drops alone, or from the gold that you would get from selling them.
6) Raise your attitude with crucial vendors who you want to either sell to or buy from. For a fraction of the price in either gold or goods (typically goods is better since donations are given at a non-diminished value), you can donate to a character to improve their prices on items when buying or selling. This is on top of and despite the Bartering skill, allowing you to essentially avoid the Bartering skill for the entirety of Act 1 until you can take advantage of the mirror on the Lady Vengeance. Keep in mind though, if you get in combat with any NPC and Flee, they will instantly drop to -45 attitude despite their previous number.
7) Make your own pixie dust as much as possible. You can create bone & star dust by combining Mortar and Pestle with any bone or stardust herb respectively. This is important because these materials are used in refining runes into a higher rank or creating runes from scratch.
8) Herb mixes can be stocked up in the Undertavern in Act 2. When combining these with a drudanae pipe, you can get a strong 50 turn duration buff which can be used on much harder fights in order to trivialize them. You can also combine these herb mixes with certain void-tainted fish in order to make them a 100 turn duration (just keep trying to combine the herb mixes with every different kind of void-tainted fish to find out the recipes).
These are great tips!
best comment so far, thanks. You should make a TH-cam video of these points.
Jesus... this game seems challenging lmfao
@@magic4412 it is. I bought it yesterday. Already 18 hours. Lol
@@Yuras649 Yeah... I have been playing the last 3-4 days and I have a better grasp of how the game works. But tbh I spent half of the time reading guides/builds. It has been worth so far! Super fun game

I'd have to disagree with you I try to make the coolest character I can I don't go for the strongest when I play Divinity I like to role-play so I usually make my character siblings they're trying to become the strongest Warriors in the world
Dude why can't you just let people do what they want its just a game asshole
i was just confused about the bedroll coming from BG3 so thanks for that
I just picked this game up last night, such a complex game. This guide is awesome thank you.
Cyndre Rhade it really is, my group is dying all the time...
legit same
Really? I feel like it was totally useless.
Thanks! I played the original release until I got stuck in Wrecker's Cave around level 12 or so, then something else came out and I lost interest. Excited to start a new run and finish the game.
I appreciate all these videos for games like Pillars and D:OS2. I pray we continue to get amazing CRPGs like these so you can keep making these tutorials and guides
Did you ever finish DOS2 bud? And your dream came true - we got Baldur's Gate 3!
@@YouSeeMeTrolling playing baldurs gate 3 now. I did finish dos 2 a few times! Love both
I've only played for maybe 3 hours so far. I picked a pyromancer for my first character. I take comfort in the fact that when they kill me easily they are mildly inconvenienced by the fact that they are on fire.
For real though it's been a struggle. There was no indication that this was a bad idea in character creation. Fire just seemed like a standard choice.
I was a jack of all trades summoner pyro. Never lost a fight in fort joy thanks to lone wolf buff. To be honest I did not even know how to sneak so I fought everyone. I was a monster.
here's the most valuable tip imho. when you finish. if you think you wasted some level points up in fort joy you do not despair. you board a ship to leave fort joy in the end of act 1. there is a mirror in the lowest level of that ship you can literally go back there anytime you want and rearrange your whole level points there. I started this game 3 times over without leaving fort joy thinking I fcked up my build and need to start over. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO START OVER you can keep rebuilding your character if you find a cool spell you wanna main along the way. I started with a rogue, died too much then converted that character into a wayfarer ranged spell caster.
I just bought divinity 2. I spent fifteen minutes on tactical killing a sheep as fane on the boat and then killing nearly everything else with necromancy. Best game.
Wow really? I am a few hours into the game and didn't even realize during character creation that you could change the race and skills of your characters..
Ooof 🤦🏻♂️
I bought this game about 30 hours in to Baldurs gate 3. I was like hold on this studio needs more of my money. After spending 100s of hours on BG3 I’m about to give this game a go in 2024
Thank you, very helpful. Had no problem with the magisters after getting the collar removed, but wasn't ready and left Fort Joy too soon and got my butt handed to me.
It's called Fort Joy for a reason: it is the only (slightly) noob-friendly place in DOS2.
just bought this on a deep sale during summer steam sale event and can't wait to start it! i'm sure i'll enjoy story mode the most and not have to worry about character build, difficult fights and all that. I will still enjoy the combat but i mostly play for story and exploration and environment now
How’d you like it?
Add: You can only steal from a vendor/person ONCE per character with Thievery.
NoPe once per thievery character PER LEVEL. Go back after you level up and you can steal from them again ;)... I'm pretty sure
@@dophie3292 Realy? I will check this right now!
@@dophie3292 Does not work. I've leveled up but got the "you already pickpocket that character".

If you don't search every nook and cranny, are you even playing divinity?

Thank you for this. I played DOS1 about a month ago but I found the mechanics overwhelming and I stopped playing because of it. When I saw that DOS2 had such high ratings and was recommended by a lot of people, I figured I couldn't miss out. So I started playing 2 and I'm still struggling in and around fort joy, really takes some getting used to. Your guide gave me advice on how to proceed, I'm going to build a new character now. The only thing that's missing are your party formations, I can't recall how many times I've been AOD' at the beginning of combat because my formation was fucked up, I had no idea that was a thing. I would've wished you said a little more on party composition as well, but ah well.
The beginning area of the game is a true test imo, and I got my ass handed to me, and I also came from playing the first game. This guide is specifically designed for players like us xD
I saw DS2 and i even did not knew of its excistance, so i just bought DS1 just too try it out if this is my sorta game, hell yeah lol. With all the freedome, outcome and leaving you in total darkness, its old school gaming all over again. And that with the technoligy of a ps4 concole, wicked. I thing every old rpg lover would freak out playing this game. It brings so much joy back too my life.
Still haven't made any real progress in this game as I am super indecisive but really enjoying the Crystalline Cleric with the Hydromania party comp. Thanks Cas your guides helped tremendously!
Dos2 is one of the best games ever made.
This is so wrong... it IS the best game ever made.

As a newbie that just recently done all I can in Fort Joy Ghetto, my best advice is to TAKE IT SLOW. Because I'm the player that like to brute-force my way through challenges, rather than do the rational thing of coming back later, I wasted almost 2 hours fighting the Magisters on the shipwreck with the elf when I was level 1 with two party members. Needless to say, I got my ass handed to me over and over again.
How slow tho? 😂
@@AstarionWifey It took me 50 hours to leave Fort Joy, so...
@@RottenPieceof the heck??? How??? I mean I just started but I didn’t think I need to take that long 🤣
@AstarionWifey Absolutely not. Most of those 50 hours were just spent pickpocketing and reloading saves.
"Taking it slow" varies from person to person. Just play the game how you want to play. Learning how the game works is more valuable than doing what's the most optimized
this guide did not feel like a guide...
Just starting this game now while on lockdown, very helpful video, thanks.
My first play through i watched videos like this to help cut the learning curve but one of my favorite things that I found on my own was when I decided to make Thane my lockpicking guy. To my surprise he doesn’t need any lock picks and just uses his finger bones to pick locks
Just subbed. I just started playing and im so amazed at every aspect of this game so far. Thanks for the guides, I definitely need them lol
Pretty much useless for actual beginners, just call this video ''useful skills to take in Divinity Original Sin 2'' because that's all you really talk about.
I just started playing, and omg, I should have look tips before, my game is a freakin bloodbath...
Thank you for the clean audio, was such a pleasure to listen to this!
For those who struggle in the beginning I recommend either making a dwarf custom character or taking a point into sneak in character creation. There is a point where you can steal items from the origin characters and I recommend it, take it all. After getting to fort joy you can recruit then and they'll have an inventory once again. If you don't plan on taking someone like beast for example recruit him anyway so you can grab extra items. If this has changed in the new version someone please correct me.
If you wanna have some real fun, get deep into crafting and the items you can make will BLOW your mind. Jar of Mind Maggots, turn it into a grenade, 8m radius explosion, sets Charmed 4 turns !!! Insane ! You won't get many but the day you need them, the effect will be memorable :) So many more amazing grenades and consumables that deepen your playthrough and experience.
gave up years ago, didnt get very far. got a backlog of games but im here watching and seeing if i can try again so more ready for balders gate 3
Just got this game. Luckily I am not far in yet. Very good information.
I just ordered this from Amazon and I couldn't be more excited to play........but its been awhile since I played Turn-Based, hopefully between this guide and just playing/experimenting in-game, I will have fun!!
So many people have said great things about DOS 2 that I had to try it out.
From 2021 I thank you i just started! And I can't wait to dive into the game more!
Feel like ive played for so long just to find out im still im the tutorial island😩😂
I feel your pain
never played any crpg game ever before, I have considered BD3, I changed my mind last minute and bought DOS2DE only because of this video, thank you
You say don’t lead with battering ram so you don’t “waste the CC” but you don’t say what CC is. Isn’t this supposed to be for beginners and not jargon aficionados?
The entire game downloaded and installed whilst viewing this upload!
Thanks great video
This explains a lot because I was a new player playing with friends that started with pyro then with necromancy so I only started recently trying to get some other skills to add in.
You are great thank you so much for the tips!
Thanks for making all these guides!
Pyro skills also deal more damage than the other elements in general
But many enemies have resistance to it, and it doesnt have any hard disables from what i remember
The Spectre Silver not in the first act. Just two groups have serious fire resistance in the first act you will know when u see them. Any fire mages, which you run into less than other elemental mages in the first act. I can remember 2 fire mages.
The Spectre Silver True it doesn’t have hard disables but if you can get it on the ground and enemies have to walk on it to get to you it can destroy an enemies shield and health with the damage tics.
Still, the lack of hard disables makes it a bit difficult to kill some bosses. I do find Geomancer's hard disables to be gimmicky though, it does magical damage, but the disable is a physical armor one. Hydro and Aero have great disables, even though it requires the target to have a condition such as wet, chilled, or shocked. But can lack a little in the damage department, since neither have DOT. Fire is great if you can position properly though
These are all great tips I wish I knew before I'd started. I now find myself at 3rd level, having spent all my precious gold on decent armor (since my squad keeps getting squished) and now I realize I should have spent some of that gold on skill books that I wasn't psychic enough to choose during character creation. So now I can't seem to beat anyone else to get more gold to buy the skilll books I need. My main question here: Where in blazes can I get more gold?
I played divinity original sin 1 long back. It's very tough in the initial stages even in normal difficulty but later on it gets a bit easier. I wish they had added moving blocks like wasteland 2.
Just bought this game yesterday because I played baulders gate 3 and thought it was the greatest game I've ever played in my life and I have to say that DOS2 is right on par with BG3...I have absolutely fallen in love with CRPGs because of this studio that created these masterpieces...I do have a question... should I play a custom character or should I play one of the ones already made? I want to create a custom character but I heard it's better to play one of the already created Characters and I'm not sure what to do
Custom first
Origin second

@@L0-C01 lol, I gave up. I really preferred the first game, it made more sense. The whole magical armour thing in this one is just kinda awful, and the fact that your starting abilities seriously determine how well you're gonna do for a while means that you need to have quite a bit of knowledge to actually make a decent starting character. Game was just too frustrating.
@@a_fuckin_spacemarine7514 haha I don’t even know what magical armour is so I would have been ruined by the sound of it. After watching this video it kind of made me want to try again but I remembered it being nightmarish last time haha

Choosing a class, attributes, skills, etc before beginning an RPG is like being forced to choose your college major when you are 10 years old: Unreasonable and unfair to expect anyone to make an informed decision with so little knowledge and experience, almost guaranteeing you’ll have regrets later. It’s still my favorite genre, but it’s very, very irritating unless you can alter the choices you’ve made mid-game. This video is an example of that. So...
... If you want to make the learning curve softer, start on explorer and switch to classic once you have some equipment. Starting on classic may give you a bad impression if you’ve never played before but stick with it. Remember that all RPGs on a harder difficulty (Witcher 3’s hardest difficulty comes to mind), are only brutal until you get the hang of it. Smart playing can even make you OP. Do whatever you can to keep playing because persistence will be rewarded with one of greatest RPGs in gaming and quitting would be a damn shame.

sick, was looking for something like this. Was waiting for definitive edition to come out to play this just like the last one
I love games like this where there's no set way of doing things
I cannot wait to buy this on payday! Baldur's Gate 3 has got me into cRPG's hard and the wider D&D universe. Growing up I played a lot of turn based games like Heroes of Might and Magic and even Final Fantasy so I have taken to this style of game very quickly. I am very happy to give Larian studios money and will be buying every single game they have ever created. Shame I cannot say the same about FFXIV Dawntrail but their bad writing benefits the creators of these incredible games.
When you start a new game head to the gate of the joy. Go to the right side of the stairs there should be a ladder. Use it, And you can completely avoid talking to the bishop when you start. Once your in joy. Level up to 5 without leaving the joy (*NOTE I never left joy it might still work if ya come back) . Now when you return they should still be talking. Take the ladder again and hopefully your ready. fortify your ranged units and attack the ghiest. Make sure you can keep them fortified because the bishop knows nether swap. Which is a teleport spell and with the effect fortified you cannot be teleported. Now at this point the magisters should either be taking the ladder or the long way to you. this will take 3 turns for them to attack your group (5 or 6 for the long way) But they should not be a problem cause of your high level the problem are the gheist with there high burst damage. Your goal is to kill the gheist. They know backlash so they will be teleporting to you. If you have the skill teleport deal with them one at a time by throwing one of them back to the bishop. The hammer for some reason cannot use ladders so she will not be scary unless you get close to her. By now you should have one ghiest attacking you and the other already used backlash. Focus your attacks on the first ghiest and make sure you have plenty of stuns. Since they are level 8 they have no problem killing you with 4 ap. Once you kill 1 you should INSTANTLY turn level 6 restoring all of your health. This should take 3 turns to kill him if not then then the other ghiest will appear. If you have a summoner leaver your totem behind your group and your summon should stay with your group so they can apply the flanking bonus to the ghiest. The magisters will chip at you but you MUST kill the ghiest first or you will lose. Once both are dead target either the bishop or the hammer. Once either one of them hits half health they will flee. And you will have achieved the achievement Hammered. she will also leave her weapon behind , Its gives + 2 in strength , Intelligence and necromancy. If you just want to cheese it follow the guide but in story difficulty. You will still reap the awards. And don't forget to stock up on potions.
wtf

Just bought this game, never have i bought a turn based game in my life hope its worth it
Man… I’m going to have to start completely over
I freaking love this game!
Bought this game a few yrs ago, put about 17 hrs into it and stopped playing although it was enjoyable. So today I've decided to start playing again on a new save and hopefully beat it at some point lol😅
Bro I love this game so much but the beginning made me feel like I straight up had 1 health point, every fight was hell
I made the mistake of deciding I didn't like my first build idea a few hours in and am trying to survive the change without restarting.
My 2 cents - unless you're playing the hardest dificulty mode and min-maxing, go for roleplay and the origin stories you consider more interesting.
Me, I choose Lose over Sebille even if Sebille make the game's best ranger (elf racial + elemental ranger is crazy good). Didn't regret it, Lose has such a cool origin slotyline with her inner demon.
I agree
I'm already at 111 hours I don't know if I can start over again right now but hopefully someday I want to lol
Thanks for this, lots of great tips! Looks like I'll be outfitting Lohse as a thief from now on. I need more gear - just got my ass handed to me in a lvl2 fight with no gear on tactician mode 😅
Howdy friend. Thanks so much for all of the time and effort. I was wondering if the dual weilding dagger build is up to date? I just purchased the game about 2 weeks ago and have logged over 64 hours with my bestfriend. I do not see the need for super high wits with the dual weilding dagger rouge because of the backstab...battle stomp and cloak and dagger abilities. I instead pumped those points into finesse and constitution with some into memory. Am I doing it wrong?
Thanks for the guide
Finally I got the game yesterday!!!
How is this for beginners, I can’t even figure out how to choose a new skill lmao
well, i am restarting my game tonight, played as Fane up to the start of chapter 2 and after a certain fight there, he had almost no health left and i did not know that bedrolls ever where a thing in this game, much less what they did. Was mostly either waitng to find more poison or hoping i could find a skill that allowed me to cast poison on him like a restoration spell.
Did this video mention the ooze barrel trick? I don't think it did. Although I know it's mentioned in the comments. On the tutorial ship you can find an ooze barrel and have basically infinite healing for Fane (or any undead) as long as you have food or empty potion bottles to combine with the barrel for poisoned things to heal him
Thank you for this guide!
This game is killing me!! Lol
I can’t tell you how many times I have restarted because I’m not happy with my choice.
Maybe I’m just a complete noob
I put 100 hours into the original.
But I stopped playing. It's been so long, when I came back to it, I was so lost.
But I finally bought this one and I'm so pumped. The original is my favorite game, almost ever.
I played a couple hours of the original on PC then faded off. Just got this one on sale on PS4 and I've been ridiculously hooked since. It's been about 4 days and I'm well over 50 hours in lol.. No plans on letting up either! It's just so rich and so rewarding.
I really want to love this game but I get so lost I have no idea what to do esp for quests lol
Got the same problem but I cannot win any of the quest fights if I am even able to figure out how to get to the quest it's not going well to say the least
Like halfway through the game STILL dont know what makes my healing spells hurt my allies
Undead can’t handle healing spells
That’s one tip lol
Cas is the best I bought this game on sale and just got off the ship and I am not very good 🤣 trying to make the correct decisions and trying to get used to it and that’s why I’m here need some guides on it’s. It’s a good game lot to learn and the red prince is cool too and have a rodent following me 🤣 dlc I think 🤔 thanks again Cas.
Can you have multiple playthroughs on divinity at the same time
I thought you couldn't even remove your collar until a certain point in the game so I haven't even tried to take it off yet.
Question, I had the Red Prince become a wizard (Wizard Lizard just liked the sound) and he only has fire spells. My question is was it wasted to make him a wizard because he should only focus on being a fire mage or should I have made him a warrior etc..
I get lost so hard in this game I've done alot of new game because idk what to do Half the time

Lol same with my brother and me, but we keep coming back for more
An "Hey I actually plan on doing that" or if you hadn't "hey good idea" would've been cool. Instead I say hey a new beginners guide would be cool if you think enough has changed and your reply is a link to a written beginners guide for the DE. No mention of what you would release the next day. Was it some kind of big secret you wanted to keep? I'm sure I wasn't the only to suggest (if I was right on) so would it have been hard to say to everyone good idea or did you want site traffic along with youtube traffic?? In every way kinda lame. But iget it's hard out there and seeing as I asked for this yesterday I appreciate it!!
I linked our guide, that we were already producing into a video, but I didn't know when it would be ready. In case you are new to our site, we almost always publish on the blog first, as writing a guide is the first step before making it into a video.
Lance Seaman need any tips and tricks? I've left 2 new comments for the beginning of the game. I could leave some here or make some more. Not as versed with the game as fextralife but I've about 200hrs in the game so I can do my best. Need any tips for early, mid, or late game?
@@Fextralife I was just giving you a hard time. You did a great job. Just caught off guard.
I haven't got a clue how to play this game, and I don't know what the guy in the video is talking about. he says use Stomp.. what is stomp, and how do you get stomp? It's like people expect you to understand what a stomp is. Like in the English language you have a fight you say "Use stomp!" nobody will know what you are talking about.
Rain also exposes invisible enemies
humans are best in game, they can dig with claws, learn by eating dead and open locks with bone finger.
So I know I’m late to the party but….I’ve been on fort joy. And it doesn’t seem to matter which merchant I go to for skills.
My question is: are there certain vendors that can sell things only they have?? So say the one dies, I need to reload a save?
Excellent video, but I wouldn’t call this a beginner’s guide. I played DOS:EE and still had a hard time following along with this. This is more of a “After the Beginner’s Guide Tips and Tricks Guide”
Whats the difference between creating an own character and choosing a preset one? Does that effect the story? Is it better to choose a preset character for beginning?
Preset characters have their own background stories which add to the overall story so yes I would start with them.
do you still need the persuasion skill on your main guy or does it use the parties best persuasion skill?
Here because of the switch drop. Pretty interested in this game. Also very intimidated by this game.
Intimidated is the absolute best way to describe it. I just started yesterday and it’s awesome, but I feel like I am standing at the bottom of Everest looking up. Without any climbing equipment. Still though, that same intimidation is also what draws me to the game
@@CompleteProducer84 playing on switch or something else? Haven't seen a lot of reports on performance other than it looks muddy. I've honestly always been a gameplay above visuals guy, but it can't be completely broken either.
Zuko I’m on Switch. Performance-wise it runs great so far, but I did have one crash already, right when I got to Fort Joy (early in the game). No frame rate issues, and I think the game looks great. I haven’t played it on PC at all so I can’t really make any comparisons, but it is a great game to have on a handheld
@@CompleteProducer84 awesome thanks! I'll probably get it once I finally finish fire emblem....
Zuko Awesome. I was about 35 hours into Fire Emblem (was really taking my time) and I stopped because so many games came out. The game is great but it may be awhile before I get back to it. Divinity seems a little more my speed because I absolutely love exploration
I appreciate these guides but for "beginners" guides they either skim over or not even touch on the very basics of starting your first game and what you need to know to just get started. They all assume some familiarity. Nevertheless I appreciate them.
Does playing as lone wolf make the game more manageable for a newbie?
