This is a great way for stealthy characters to drop smack in the middle of combat without initiating initiative themselves, allowing them to choose their target freely provided they don’t screw up sneaking themsel

The Cleric is a supportive healer that also leans into dealing a bit of damage in close quarters or with blood magic. Depending on your team makeup, you will need to decide which direction to take your hero: a sturdy tank, an expert doctor, a life drainer, and cryomancer are all potential aspects. But trying to cover every job at once will leave them watered down from their full potential. Thankfully, you can always restart any build using a Magic Mirr

The Cleric is an excellent addition to any party, with great personal survivability and magic to help their allies. They might not be the most deadly combatant, but will absolutely make many encounters triv

Djinn’s Scimitar (One-Handed Sword): in Reaper’s Coast head to X: 193, Y: 14 and loot the Ancient Lamp (requires teleportation or a leaping skill). Rubbing the lamp will summon the Djinn offering several rewards. You must make an Intelligence or Finesse check and then ask for "Power" to gain the weapon. Decent weapon that improves dodging and movem

Both newbies and veterans of RPGs and turn-based strategy know any offensive strategy is useless without a fallback. In the case of Original Sin 2 , the game boasts a wide range of offensive and defensive abilities. However, players should remember recovery is just as important in any battle, especially when this game allows all its NPCs to be able to use magic as w

Players can carry almost any kind of interactive object in the game - from candles to crates. Unfortunately, exceeding a character's weight capacity won't allow them to move except via Waypoints. Thankfully, the Telekinesis spell allows players to "move" (sometimes throw) items to various locations - most of the time to make them expl

Battles become frustrating especially when the party can't even get to full health unless they find beds. However, Definitive Edition fixes this with the Bedroll. Acquiring the Bedroll in The Hold will give a permanent bedroll to the party with decent benef

In traditional RPGs, fights usually start with the party together. However, Original Sin 2 allows characters to "break away" from the party. A character with this status won't follow the others when roaming around. However, this trick becomes extremely useful in combat, especially considering NPCs tend to dish out AOEs early on in fights to generate environmental effe

Updated on May 5, 2022, by Rhenn Taguiam: Fans of Dungeons & Dragons may eagerly await Baldur’s Gate 3 from Larian Studios, a game that is perhaps the most faithful iteration of D&D 5e mechanics. However, it’s far from released yet as the game may remain in Early Access until early 2022, with the rest of the year devoted to development. Thankfully, fans who couldn’t wait for a Tactical RPG Nostalgia fantasy RPG experience close to D&D can look at Larian Studios’ other gem - Divinity: Original Sin 2 - for another powerhouse combination of a gripping plot and compelling gameplay. For beginners who just started the game, they might want to equip their characters with some must-have beginner-friendly Skills to make life easier so they can breeze through the main story with e

Players don't necessarily have to end up in combat blind. Most, if not all, NPCs can be Examined via the interaction button. Examine reveals almost everything about an NPC - from their name and race, down to their Tale

What makes Chicken Claw absurdly overpowered is the fact that it’s accessible at Polymorph 1, costs 1 Memory, and only cost 2 AP. This extremely accessible spell means players who break the Magic Armor of foes can have an extra two turns to run from a powerful opponent or use this ridiculously overpowered solution to kill bosses in the next t

For base skills, Tentacle Lash will be your primary damage attack that can also prevent enemies from using their own abilities. Bullhorns are great for movement more than actual damage. Last, consider either Battle Stomp or Bouncing Shield from Warfare depending on your weaponry. You will also have access to All In when using a two-handed weapon, Shields Up with a shield, Flurry with an off-hand weapon, and Sucker Punch when using a single one-handed weapon. Opportunist is good to stop enemy movement, but also consider Hothead for higher damage out

As noted before, Strength should be your primary attribute. Every few levels defer a bit to Memory for more skill slots, Wits to improve crit rate and initiative, or Constitution to meet shield requirements. Note that each point in Polymorph will also give an extra attribute point to spend. Warfare will increase your raw Physical attacks. You should also grab whatever combat abilities to meet skill requirements, like Scoundrel and Necroman

To counter this caveat, players should practice dedicating one player to scout ahead and be slotted in the initiative count first. With this method, other characters can try getting into more advantageous positions or even sneak. Players in stealth can get a free attack before being slotted in the initiative co
