I didn't even know you could use RC for something else than summoning pawns. I've certainly never even seen a merchant tab for it. I think I have a good amount since all I've been summoning are free goon steam friend pawns too.

If you're in the capital, go to the pawn guild and look at a little table to the left of the big ol' stone, there's a guy there that sells ya poo poo for RC.

More specifically the red mist around the edges of the map will spread more and more inwards on the map over time. this can be slowed down by fighting the monsters you can summon at the red pillars of light. slowed, but not stopped. the game doesn't explicitly tell you about this, but the cutscenes that come up when you rest are pretty ominous and telling- and anyone checking the map will see the mist spreading more each day that passes It stops when you do all but the final light beam

So, quick tip with the Sphinx when she asks you how many of her questions you correctly answered: she actually wants the total number of questions you answered regardless of whether you were correct or not. Of course, there's an easier way to know: she flat out tells you the number she wants. Walk back from her and look up. She lights up the tips of her feathers with the number.

So I've snagged two portcrystals so far: one you get from finishing the elven archery questline, another can be found in a griffin's nest near the periphery of the misty area with the dullahan. It really makes the quest to help their tree actually tolerable.

some of the rarer mobs are more common like boltscales (the spikey lizards) is all i can think of. they're only in like two spots pre-unmoor. there is a new type of lich that i dont think is in the regular world but thats really about it beyond the boss dragons/lizards vvv Jack Trades posted:Small spoiler: the other stationary portcrystals are under the ocean floor Sloober fucked around with this message at 13:16 on Apr 4, 2024 |

My pawn maxed out all vocations and is now permanently a warrior, as was always intended. With 800+ strength and defense and 900+ knockdown he will gladly punch monsters in the nuts very hard for you. Any recommended skills to set to maximize his potential as an angry bowling ball? Arc of Might is cool but I'm not sure pawns are smart enough to save it for big monster stagger phases. Mountain Breaker seems like a no brainer. Warfarer does in fact give vocation XP to everything that isn't maxed yet but geez it's slow. Probably better to just play them normally and come back to Warfarer later. Having Draw and Quarter to murder big things, Sagittate Avalanche to murder small things, and Mirour Shelde to no sell attacks, while also having a staff to get around and a censer if two big monsters attack at once, is pretty cool.

If anyone's wondering about the long-term consequences of letting the Dragonblight progress: All the named/important NPCs that die really do stay dead. I rested for several weeks, no change. They're all at the morgue. I can actually see how that might take the wind out of your sails if it's your first playthrough. Me personally, I just went and revived Isaac since I need someone to sell me Ferrystones in Bakbattahl. Side note: letting your main pawn get to this point will cause them to lose a hefty chunk of affinity, which makes sense.

There's a few new things at a specific vendor the dragonforged that can boost you and your pawn's strength in new ways you couldn't even do in the postgame... but given there's nothing stronger than your first time through the game it's pretty pointless. Really hoping they add some kind of infinitely scaling hard mode on top of whatever other dlc is coming. If the world just got another 20-30 levels more difficult every time I started NG+ again I could play this for hundreds of hours.

It's so weird seeing some people's beloved is Queen Regent. Did I just completely miss any interactions with her? Are there some coming? I'm doing the main quest and just visited the Seafloor Shrine. (granted, I haven't done the quest for the interrigation of the assassin of the Empress yet which also seems like a main quest) Or is it just this game? I have been tried to avoid her since they painted her as the big bad, and I thought if I seek her out I get thrown to jail or something. But can you just go like "Yo I'm the real Arisen" ?

I'm doing the main quest and just visited the Seafloor Shrine. It's just the jank of the game. All sorts of NPCs you'd think would be hostile/antagonistic for story reasons just aren't. The side quests in DD2 have way more thought and coherence put into them than the main quest imo, it's weird as gently caress but hey that's DD for you.

This thread moves too fast, but I've been playing Warfarer as "nine more ranks of Magick Archer" except I can play fashion with my gear and I get to keep a staff in my pocket for levitation. I don't even keep Rearmament on my bar. It's really making me wish you got two groups of moves like Dark Arisen, though. None of the skills play good together and you can't even do the utility moves from other classes without having their weapons on hand, so it's not like I can throw the spearhand forcefield on there for good measure. Also, I'm having a damned time finding fell-lords. Are there any places they're a reliable spawn?

Then you can just talk to them and press the prompt (y on PC, dunno for controllers) to give them a gift. Works for almost everyone. For the Empress, for example, you first have to complete the sidequests involving her.

Also why the hell am I suddenly helping the bad guys in the main quest?? Ambrosius and Pheseus want to do ... something and I'm volunteering to gather wyrmslife crystals for them? There better be a secret plan to steal that sword to myself coming after this! Otherwise this makes no drat sense! e: I also need Fell-Lords for upgrading the Cinderspine, so I'll head out there to check too.

Lol, if you manage to beat the rear end in a top hat guards in Bakbatthal before they manage to hit you once, instead of stopping the fight, the merc steals the guards' leaders purse and gives it to you. About 13k gold.

took me until the end of the game to realize that sleeping in the bed of a house you own also counts as a save point for the "load from last inn rest" option. last mission minor spoilers: the NPC that was shown with max affinity was that elf dork and I was gunning for Ulrika, so I decided to reload knowing I hadn't rested at an actual inn in hours. luckily it woke me up in my bed in my house in Vernworth, which is what I had done immediately before starting the quest. In case anyone else has been worried about reloading with that option. they should really just remove the word "inn" from that on the main menu
