Never played a PB game before, but with Elex i'm having a blast, if you can get past some clunky mechanics you will find a really really good and challenging game
Alex Spagnuolo yeah, that's part of the course lol. Welcome!
Definitely give gothic a play too
I've played all PB games before and it's the same, I'm having a blast so far. Sometimes I like just free roam and explore sessions and sometimes work on the missions. It's awesome to go early to places where you're obviously not supposed to and find some cool loot (ie. got a pair of glasses which highlight all items around me, even through walls)
How are the RPG mechanics? Is there roleplaying? Choice and Consequence? Immersive world? Living world? Is it Dynamic AND Tactical?
If you want to play Gothic 1 you can install the DirectX11 community patch to get it to 1080p.
Other developers: "We want to make sure the player can do everything at the start"
Piranha Bytes: "Lol, good luck killing anything"
I love PB games.
Seeing the title and before even watching the video only one word comes to mind, FLAMETHROWER! = Win.
And yeah, I was killing top tier enemies at lvl9 with that thing. You get it for less then 600elex at the Clerics home base and the fuel is really cheep to, same as 1 arrow.
Thanks, great advice. My tips are:- Beware when you trade as you can accidently sell your equipped items. Happened to me. Combat is similar to Dark Souls/Bloodborne - as in the timing. Check the enemies timing for an opening. Remember the special move gauge in the bottom left corner of the screen. Upgrade your stamina as soon as possible as it allows more attacks.
Sixth sense lets you know where enemy's are, you can get it through learning points or gear, I found a pair of glasses that gave it, its a big help.
I found the glasses in a chest at the farm south of the dome city, they're invaluable, or you can buy the glasses for 2500.
Yeah I found some scientist shades or something that added that trait
Freedom, questdesign and worlddesign is awesome! That is a real rpg and i love it.
They should've called it ELEX: Prepare to Die Edition. Once I started travelling in openworld on lvl 4, I died more than I did in DS! Every damn creature killed me with 1-2 hits...
Thanks for your vids and all your effort to get good publicity out for Elex. I'm personally lvl 18 and 24 hours in roughly and man I'm loving it.. after hour 10 this game really starts to shine
1. Get a companion, 2. Use jet pack to get away 3. Run 4. Explore and take everything
if you say so
elijah mikle you can‘t get bored if you do entertaining quests like most quests of elex.
I have one problem in this game so far and that is that the special dialogue options early in the game requires you to have for example (2 survival) or whatever and that annoys me because it’s hard to level up those skills so early in the game
I found an area that had a troll, I avoided it and found a Reaver camp. I ended up leading about 12 of these guys back to the troll, and let him kill them all for me. Ended up getting like 500 elexit, plus some other good stuff from their corpses. Only got experience from a couple of them, unfortunately, but still it was pretty awesome watching that battle. Also, in the video you can also sneak past the robot to get that club.
This game hates you, drinks your tears and laughs at your pain. And it's the best RPG I've played in years.
Learn alchemy as soon as possible and dont drink little Elex potions! it is only 100 EXP. but you can mix two into a stronger one, that give you 2 atribute points and two of those into a strong potion that give you 1 skillpoint. at the beginning getting more points to learn new skills is essential. at the point where every atribute is at 30, you may change from more skill points to more attribute Points. because the costs for raising atribute increases from one point to two points and later (i think at 50 or 60) to even 3 points.
If you are going to sneak, like on that mech, it actually works if you go behind where enemies can't see you not right in front of their face....
Zero Kool i sneaked up to it, was so easy.
This is one of the most awesome games ever, so addictive that I can't explain.
Mesmerizing is all I can say.
Piranha bytes games are perfect, fell in love with the companys design back in the day we played Gothic games.
Id rather have a game like this more than microtransactions
Agree one million percent ...I made the biggest mistake playing a space game, The money I spent was beyond crazy. And nothing to show for it.
That is why I bought this game to be honest. This is just a straight up RPG. No frills.
Exactly right. Ignore all these so called publications giving microtransaction and loot boxes games >90% reviews. They've all been bought out. Games like Elex are where it's at.
I'd rather play bloodborne, that one is challenging. Elex combat system redefines the term "fuckawful" :)
I’m having a blast with this game. But then again I am that kind of person who doesn’t give up if I fail. I adapt and do better next time.
Never played a game like this before. I’m coming from fallout and skyrim type open world games. Those games baby you compared to this and there’s no combat skills required compared to this. I love this game, it’s such a challenge.
I'm playing on easy and couldn't imagine going to a higher difficulty. You'd have to be a serious glutton for punishment to enjoy the higher difficulties. It's definitely not "too" easy. I still get wrecked constantly, and i'm a pretty seasoned rpg'er
Easy is way too simple your going to be many hours in and not able to change that. You should just adjust the combo difficulty sliders and such as that which can be changed any time in the game and make combat much easier.
Yeah, enemies are pretty strong, but it's very intentional. You had to get some levels in different villages doing various quests (use roads, run fast), then go into forests.
Joel C Too simple? I've beaten Souls games that weren't this difficult. I wouldn't dream of upping the difficulty.
Stan Cratcha tbh the game is not hard it's just unfair and unbalanced
Eh, its pretty easy if you manage stamina properly, dodge roll attacks and jetpack to refresh stamina and chip away at whatever you're attacking. Big things like trolls or mobs gets more complicated but its normally possible to kite stuff away and 1v1 them.
just equip a shield and most enemies are harmless unless in they are in groups.
You just made me start a new game. Because I fucked up on my first game, and now my second beyond repair. So this helped a lot, maybe this time I can do better. Because I’m really loving this game. Thanks man
A summary of my experience with elex is something like this,
I saw a mongrel on the road, I tried to kill it knowing it was hard and got wrecked.
_Quick Reload._
Now I'll kill this stupid mongrel with arrows from the air! Mongrel proceeds to spit blue fire to me and again I got wreked.
_Quick Reload._
Sees mongrel, nope, nope, NOPE! Proceeds to avoid said mongrel taking a longer way.
The first 10 hours of this game are a little rough ....you have to pick your battles and run from others but once you have leveled up enough its a lot of fun and exploring this huge map seems never ending with quests being found in all different areas.Nice video by the way!
great video! havent played any of their games in like 11 years, elex is amazing
Game of the year for me. hands down.! amazing game world !
Guess 2017 must have been pretty bad for games then
@@Flamalamx yeah, it was pretty tame. The usual cash cow projects with 10000 micro transactions. You know the usual modern game development style.
I just bought Elex now in sale 2019. I absolutely LOVE it!!! Finally a challenge! I love it, when you have a lot to learn and get killed in the beginning. I love this game even more than Assassins Creed or Resident Evil - which I like so much.
Nice 👌
love the game, cousin bought it on ps4. played it too lvl 11 and now im debating to buy on steam... becous fps drops on console etc. its hard, but it gets so mutch fun when ur higher lvl and u got a shield etc
It's a been a while since release, but...
-Some enemies will attack each other on site. Bandits, for example, will often ignore you to engage beasts; Critters, 'boars and Biters will attack Raptors.
-Falk can be recruited fairly early. Gain a couple of levels by running errands in Goliet, run to the abandoned converter (North of Goliet), ignore the Albs after the cutscene, and make your way up the tower, beating up every mutant in your way (doable even with the Rusty Axe you find lying around after meeting Duras). If you're having trouble with the final mutant, run up the stairs to Falk who'll aggro and lend a hand.
-There's an Adventurer's Amulet (+5 armor, +1 lockpicking) right at the start of the game (before the building containing your jetpack), that's guarded by a Biter.
-As with other Gothic games, Animal Trophies is a great skill for making money early!
Also when you see an enemy about to charge or attack you can evade and roll *towards* them, instead of using your jetpack.
And with the big robot to grab the weapon i was able to just sneak behind it!
"easy is too easy."
You're joking right? I'm playing easy right now and I'm getting my ass kicked. Hell, even the early equipment in this game is way too demanding with it's stat requirements. I only get 10 attribute points per level up. I can't keep up with this BS.
even easy is pretty hard at the beginning, but you will get so fucking strong in the game. so in the mid game easy mode will be way to easy. i recommend play on easy and after 8h play time put it on normal. in end game u will kill even those trolls in a few hit on normal mode.
just make sure your "windows key" is disabled a real bitch in a fight especially if you use alt as your evade attack key. lots of fat fingering!
Maybe you just fucking suck LMFAO
I love this game! real rpg elements, and events take place from your actions. Useful gear, you see all the time in showcases/ shows where in a game they switch items often adapting to a situation, this is the 1st game where it's essential to have multiple set of gear for different circumstances. The game is hard for me half difficulty, half janky and unresponsive combat, but its still so rewarding when you finally kill that enemy thats made you reload your game 20 times.
@LastKnowMeal just wondering if is possible as you advancing in progress on level and map, can you join the 3 or 4 factions available? not at the exact same time of course, i mean as you progress on the story and map.
You can actually do a custom difficulty which is a great feature. I keep most aspects on normal and change just the battle difficulty to easy and am enjoying the game much more because of it.
In hardest difficulty I kept getting killed by the first enemy I encountered which is one of those burnt oversized turkey things. It's just impossible. There is a secret area in the start where u can find a great amulet by the way which is where the first enemy is. Those who actually know PG games know exploration is rewarding. I wonder how many people found the treasure of the rock dragon in Gothic 2.
You can just lure the chicken out run in take the loot and run out.
Although killing him is possible, took me like 10 deaths.
Thanks for the coverage! Elex doesn’t get enough love. Glad it is here!
Thanks for watching!
Oh, I love that game!
6:25 sneak behind, take weapon, leave stealthily
Thanks for the heads up. Great info and video.
Thanks man for the videos, helpled me a lot trough my gameplay streaming. :)
My Tips: Buy the Good Eater skill in Survival, makes a pretty big difference in how much HP food restores. Find the High-Tech glasses, they give you sixth sense, which makes enemies visible on the mini map. This helps a ton. Get the Animal Trophies skill in Survival, increases the drop rate of bones/teeth/hides/all the stuff you can sell, you make way more money with this perk.
TURN OFF AUTO LOCK by pressing x
Quick question. Is it possible to join the clerics early. I mean they have some serious missions where I have to kill mutants . Some mechs gone rogue that 2 shot me. The clerics area is filled with hard mobs. Is it possible then that the clerics were made to join later in the game? You need lvl 10 just to handle a basic gun from them. Just asking
Just started playing elex. Good advice, so I subbed
Love this game, well done PB
An other tip that seems to be dismissed by many: the shield is a surprisingly good weapon! with a strong attack you shield bash an enemy for some damage and a high bonus on knockback and stamina reduction on the enemy. smaller ones can be knocked to the ground by a single bash. giving you time to strike quick or heal some HP.
And the shield protects more of your Hitbox, than just your weapon if jumping away is no option.
The game is awesome thats it
its also infuriating
im level 17, cant find any more quests to level up and what quests i do have i cant complete because the enemies are impossible
thats the problem is ive pretty much done all the quets i can find in all the towns, i dont know what to do; i guess ill figure it out though. clerics and their delusional brainwash is annoying, but since ive heard theyre the most op its probably worth it, im a berserker
Have you been to origin? thats easy xp, so are companion quest's. Doing ray's companion quest is about 10k xp and isn't that hard. Doing the separatist stuff is quite a bit of xp too.
Best way to level early on is to do quests and just run from enemys. Gaining exp is more like an mmo in this game in that quests well get you more exp than mob grinding. Also, its good to start specializing your stats early so you'll be able to equip better gear sooner. Im carrying around a bunch of gear i cant use yet cuz i spread my my stat points out too much.
thats good advice thanks
elijah mikle not really. You can level pretty damn fast actually.
just sneak and approach from the back of the big machine. that way it will probably not notice you and you can get the weapon and withdraw without getting shot.
before you follow Duras, use the elevator back up again, then use the jetpack to get to the upper levels of the satellite station. there's some nice loot there. just be thorough... or return there after you got the special sunglasses.
some enemies like jackals, horned wolves and rippers sleep at night, so you can circumvent them by sneaking or running by during nighttime.
want up get a leg up? "cheat ", by getting the location of the special sunglasses that let you see loot better and make a run for it.
the only reason to raise attributes is to get skills and equip weapons. the general description of the attributes are not sound (at least in german).
do not upgrade the weapon you currently use without checking if you meet the _new_ requirements in attributes you need to use them after the upgrade. sometimes it's better to upgrade a weaker weapon as intermediate weapon to use untill you have the attributes to use the stronger upgraded weapon.
get animal trophy skill as soon as possible to get more cash, unless you want to use one of the two Elexit glitches.
Chemistry is also a skill worth while investing in early, to make potions and money. Elexit, the currency in the game, is needed for everything, not only buying stuff and paying to learn skills, but also to upgrade weapons. And that is NOT cheap.
You'll also have to buy your faction armor after you raise in ranks. the only part that is free is the lowest rand chest piece. you also cannot find those armor parts, because they are faction locked.
the end of the game depends on your warm/cold level.
The good thing is that your damage raises with every hit you land and you can use the last bit of your stamina to do extremely high damage even on the larger monsters.
Just killed the "first" two Albs you fight at the Edan Converter at level 6, wasted all my arrows and potions, still can't craft anything, but I did get some sweet Alb spells
Lorenzo Petskalorenzo get duras as an companion he can kill most enemies for you n you gain the exp from his kills
The Converters of the Albs are true Goldmines! You should tackle them as soon as the oppurtunity shows!
Just got the game on psn for 15 bucks stared on easy and so far have not died yet but I notice they have way more options in the difficulty menu so is the game easier now should i set it to normal or should i wait? After all i just made it to the magic town and only done that mission to get 8 healing plants at the lake where I found a bat like creature which I could not even damage
I love elex! It reminds me of an obsidian game but dark souls difficulty, can't stress how much fun I have in the game, I honestly lose track of time when I play it.
Whats up with the first arrow always going off without me having any crosshairs. the crosshairs only come up after one arrow is shot, so one arrow is wasted every time. Is it like that for everyone?
As for the quest with Korin's weapon - you can even sneak behind the machine and take the weapon - not sure if it was a bug, but it worked for me, so that's it.
That’s how I did it to. Worked great.
i dont agree to NOT playing on easy cause the difficulty in this game isnt the hp of mobs, its the fight mechanic itself
You just have to learn it. I have about 60hrs on Risen and the fight mechanic is really similiar, so it is not a problem for me to fight. I destroyed 3 albs (1 by 1 tho! Fighting more than one enemy with skull is suicide) at one of the outpost on level 9 or 10...
I like how you explain things good job dude 🤙🏽
Just started playing again after a couple years. I always forget to use the jetpack in combat. Personally I love going to the Outlaw city and buying all the hand granades. The stagger keeps the more annoying targets at bay. Even in early game you can kill trolls. Just takes 50-60 of em lol
love your name, brings amusing thoughts when i see the vaultboy and think of the cannibalism perk lol
Joeseph Hays hahahahaa shit he got me
getting the ring of vigor in the starting area before you meet duras is helpful for early game too
what items should I sell? I am afraid to sell anything cause i dont know if it used in crafting or quests, like cigarettes?
Yeah you can sell cigarettes, old world money bundles, and scraps like goblets and stuff. Just save a little of everything in case a quest-giver wants you to give him some.
Just started this game and it was challenging in the beginning, but now at lvl11 it's much more enjoyable. Reminds me a lot of Gothic 1& 2
I dont know if it would be too much spoilers. But you can get early some exp amulets for Quests and for Monsters. So its not much but all adds up. And even 5% of the exp means alot at the end of the day. And this amuluts are free to get even as lvl 1.
Your video tipped the scale for me into buying this game :)
thx man that was helpful
When do you get to choose a faction? If I choose a faction will the others hate me and try to kill me as soon as I come into their attack zone/area? Also I want to experience a variety of weapons.
How did find soo many arrows ! Im loving the game and new to PB but admit its hard
you can buy the stack of arrows, then trade again with the same merchant and buy another stack, rinse and repeat for unlimited arrows, if you've got the money. (once you join the berserkers they sell arrows for 1 gold instead of 2 gold)
You can buy it.
Great video.!
Happy New Year!
6:19 i personally tried sneaking behind that robot thing and take the items, it worked, it didn't even notice me when I was literally in melee range lol
I finished the game on hard, but i made couple mistakes at the beginning. You should focus on quests more then on anything else and you should always take ur fellow with u, they can help u a lot in fights. If u don't like the close combat mechanics i would recommend you to go for ranged weapons, thats much less clunky and more powerful. In late game u can use the skill animal trophies to farm gold and pure elex.
The best advise comes at the End of that video. Rather do lots of Quests than fight lots of enemies. As a newbie you are only be able to defeat enemies who give you just 5XP or 10XP. But you can accomplish quests where you can get 200xp and up to 1000xp. 1000xp... would equal 200 Criters. Forget about fighting animals and mutants at the beginning, the xp revenue is to low. Later on you can take out lots of raptors with plasma rifles or grenade launcher or fire spells. You can be a glass canon and your companion is the tank, if you don‘t want to learn reading each enemies attack pattern to defeat them with melee-attacks. Just use range weapons.
How do you float with the jetpack?
Never played PB game. Decided to try on hard without knowing anything about game, I like to play games on hard. First few hours it's sod amn clunky, but I see the potential and I like the world so I promise myself to not stop.
I hope I will start loving it, it has huge potential for me. Some really nice things in it that I like.
As a PB big fan I strongly agree with your advice
It is hard. It is challenging. But guys just don't get frustrated. Accept that dying is a part of life. Especially on Magalan
If you ever played gothic, you will like elex ,the game play and mechanics might feel like a 10 years old game yet it's beautiful game. As piranha byte fan, give the game little time until you level up and become stronger, after that the game will become enjoyable.
Great video, great tips 👍
You play really good! But how do you get so many arrows?? In one battle here you use more arrows than I find in playing for 8 hours. Also do you have an upgrade on your jetpack to fly so long. You seem to be staying in the air about twice as long as I can?
Joel C you can buy as much arrows as you want from the merchants. Their inventory is resupplied each time you talk to them.
Can you make a video on how to lock pick in this game? I'm horrible at it
i played first gothic, and every other gothic for the record , and risen . its completely normal for all their games to have tiered difficulty on enemies, solved by tiered progression of armors and weapons. once u get new stuff, a whole group/type of enemies becomes killable, and to do that u need to go with story quests and exploration. feels natural for me. only problem i have is lack of data. id prefer to c clearly how much dmg i do or take and what are mine and enemies exact stats, kinda like in dark souls or fallout 4. otherwise it feels like game arbitrarily cheats on u. its probably all fine under the hood. I wouldnt mind to have at least an option to turn on combat log like in baldurs gate or toggle hp numbers on enemies to be more aware what is going on
Also good run and get the dual skill ring and survivalist amulet. Just use the jet pack and take paths to avoid the enimies. Also get the sunglasses at the same time. Will dramatically help your game if you pick up these 4 items straight away then teleport back.
Notice he uses bow also to Target enemies in the distance which will tell you if they are Skulls are not. You need the bow to target enemies far away to see the energy bar for them and kinda how tough they are. Use right mouse and you won't fire.
Is it true that all Attributes are bugged somehow? If that's the case, in what way are they bugged?
where do you get so many arrows? i go trough 100 arrows in no time,,,
Im haveing fun love rpg but its hard thanks 4 the help
The jet pack is very handy if you find yourself overwhelmed ,was level 8 and walked over the into the middle of a fight with 5 raptors a moloch 3 berserkers 3 spine hounds 2 rotboars and something with heads growing all over it’s body that moves very fast I jet packed to safety and watched them maul each other
I love this game, warts and all :)
Don't really agree with the whole jet pack and shooting thing, most enemies have much higher damage from range. If you can get down the combo system with melee weapons you can kill just about any enemy. Bigger enemies take patience is all... that being said, I was new to PB and this game made me rage until I figured out the combo meter. Now I feel dumb 😂
i don't know if this a valid tip, but it worked for me: rush 3 charisma points early on, so you can get some quests done without any conflict. then, at least 2 points in combat, then survival or crafting. usually crafting dialog options require too much (4 and up) points, and not choosing that didn't really put me in a bad position...
If you wanna do that, go to the outlaws buy drugs to temp boost charisma, or whatever stat you need and do quests without wasting points in cha that you don't need
I have now managed to get to lvl 26 and have bought the full set of the Clerics lvl 25 Regent armor. It costs 20,000 Elexit to buy the Chest Piece, 5,000 for the helmet, and 5,000 for the legs. So a total of 30,000 Elexit to buy the full set. Unless you have the haggling ability. I had rank 1 haggling so it cost a total of 28,500 Elexit instead.
Doesn't matter, there's a bug in the game that lets you get infinite monies. So free armour if you're a bitch :D
A good way to get lots of money without glitching is the animal trophy skill.
NicoNein yup, that is what I used. That and a crap ton of cigarretes.
Thanks for the pve tips now im great at pve in elex!
I want to get into magic but still no results can't get become a berserker
If you must fight a strong enemy due to a task of a quest just use handgrenades. No requierments to use handgrenades. They deal 50 damage. 2 Grenades for a Raptor or Alb-Solidier or 4 Grenades for Kolossos. The only disadvantage is that you have to make your way to the outlaws fort to purchase them.
Arx - best companion and so easy to get! And he's an awesome Alb as well! He's close to the Domed City, you will most probably encounter him when you're solving the Berserker murder.
Kurgath Caja is better. Arx has a flamethrower that can knock you down and get you wrecked. Caja does more damage with her fire spells and has the same dot as the flame thrower. Her melee isn’t as powerful per hit but her weapon poisons which does more damage in the long run.
I need help I’m lvl 7 and I can’t kill anything! Every quest is to hard how do I get better gear?
Despite the issues I find myself coming back and wanting to play more.
can we get a video explaining the Cold system?
i love the game but i do have a problem to leave the main town as enemies are too rough with one hit kills. i found that strangely enough combat works better with controller which is surprising for game like this
Been playing at ultra, best tip is that every enemy has a stamina bar below their name. Waiting for them to waste their stamina before attack as attacks drain their stamina (also happens to you so beware) so attacking an enemy while their stamina is empty keeps them from attacking til you run out of stamina. Also killing bugs and rats get a small amount of exp but they aren't aggressive
Great tips. 👍 Having a blast with it so far. Refreshing game from all the mainstream AAA titles out there. One slight immersion breaker for me is the strange choice by PB to include earth based wrecked cars like Hummers and similar tech. This is not supposed to be earth, so why not be creative about it? No big deal, but a little strange non the less.
Sim Flyer yeah, I guess magalan is a planet similar to earth.
It was Earth before.
Swords are from earth. So are guns. Why couldn't they have invented cars?
But it is earth? I'm pretty sure it just has a different name... or it was changed after the Comet hit
U can also sneak from behind since the weapoms is behind the fighting collossus
How to level in Elex buy grenades and chuck them or run away do quest in cities
