For Talents, go for The Pawn to increase movement, Savage Sortilege for criticals (most of Polymorph are actually spells), and Living Armor for extra protection versus Magic damage. If you are using Gift Bags, consider Indomitable and Gladiator for more defenses. Bigger and Better and All Skilled Up are great for when you have spare Talent poi

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is a game that is pretty loot-driven, with inventory management being a downright pain to deal with at times. Still, it's all worth it when players find a particularly useful piece of loot that helps them deal with enemies that could usually give them a tough time otherw

First, your primary focus should be Polymorph skills which gain a damage bonus from Strength , making it ideal to have 4 Strength, no Finesse, and wield Strength-based weapons; dump that starting spear that requires Finesse. Most Polymorph attacks deal Physical damage, and will gain a multiplicative boost from Warfare ; so replace the Two-Handed with 1 Warfare. For Civil Ability, boost your character’s natural focus: Persuasion for Red Prince, Loremaster for Sebille, Thievery for Fane,

For your first three skills consider Battle Stomp for area damage (it will deal elemental damage if you wield a staff, but will not Knock Down if the target has Physical armor). Take two of the three: Ignition to light enemies aflame, Searing Daggers to create Fire surfaces, and Haste to improve your AP regeneration. You will also have All In if you wield a two-handed weapon, or Staff of Magus ranged attack with an elemental staff. For the first Talent, Torturer will let you inflict Burn status even if enemies have Magical armor, or Opportunist to get free attacks on moving targ

Spirit Vision is one of the most important abilities a player can use to uncover hidden quests, talk to spirits that have passed on, and uncover any hidden information that will help them understand the lore of the world even more. Unfortunately, this skill needs to be activated every single time, and the instances of its use aren't always that obvi

On most level ups you should raise your primary selected attribute, Strength or Intelligence based on weapon. Every few levels also put a point into Wits for critical hit rate, Memory for skill slots, and Strength for heavy armor (if you are wielding a staff). Warfare will give a multiplicative damage boost to your Physical damage, while Pyrokinetic will do the same for Fire damage. Also consider Two-Handed, which will give an additive bonus to all damage types (even better if you are dealing other elements, like Poison or Air) and increase your critical damage multiplier. Also take combat abilities for skill requirements, like Geomancer or Necroman

Specializing as a Hydrosophist will give the Conjurer the Water Infusion and Ice Infusion Summoner abilities. The Hydrosophist uses the power of water and ice to deal damage and heal allies. This specialization would make the Conjurer a full support and healing character. The best Hydrosophist abilities to take for the Conjurer are Rain, Restoration, Cryotherapy, Healing Tears, Cryogenic Stasis, Mass Cleanse Wounds, Vampiric Hunger Aura, Deep Freeze, and Ice Brea

Melee attacks deal bonus fire damage to burning enemies, poison to poisoned targets, and physical damage to bleeding targets. This talent is only helpful if someone already has the Torturer talent, as it allows them to bypass enemy armor to apply burning, poisoned, or bleed. In that case, it can be good for melee characters that are backed by Necromancy, Pyrokinetic, or Geomancer. Another aspect to remember is that Intelligence-based fighters can wield staff weapons to deal fire and poison damage in me

The default Metamorph build is 2 Strength, 2 Finesse, 1 Two-Handed, 1 Polymorph, 1 Persuasion; Chicken Claw, Tentacle Lash, Bullhorns skills and Opportunist Talent. This is what recruited companions will have, but your main character can tweak this to be a bit better. You can also retrain your allies once getting to a Magic Mirror for respec

Thankfully, players can opt for the 8 AP mod instead, increasing this limit quite a bit and allowing them to be less stingy about using up their AP during every turn. While some people may argue that the Slg game collectibles itself has an option for the same, enabling that form of 8 AP leads to achievements being disabled, which may not be ideal for some players who want to enjoy the best of both wor

For new Talents aim for Executioner to regain AP, Hothead for critical hit rate, and Elemental Affinity to reduce AP costs; if you are using more spells than pure melee also get Savage Sortilege to gain magic criticals. With Gift Bags, Sadist will deal Fire damage on Burning targ

Updated on February 22, 2025, by Mati Kent-Nye: People who were lucky enough to experience the brilliance of Divinity: Original Sin 2 understand why the resurgence of the CRPG genre it brought was hailed by the masses. Without this game, Baldur's Gate 3 would not be the beloved revolutionary RPG it is today. After all, it is on the shoulders of Divinity 2 that Larian built Baldur's Gate 3, emulating what it did well while fixing story and pacing issues that served as minor problems in an otherwise perfect game. Whether players are getting into this title for the first time or clocking in another 100+ hour playthrough, these mods are sure to give them some more content to sink their teeth i
