Divinity Original Sin 2: All New Divine Talents (June Gift Bag Update)

The default Metamorph build is 2 Strength, 2 Finesse, 1 Two-Handed, Swen Vincke 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

Near the end of Fort Joy, the Seekers and Godwoken will team up to steal the Magister Ship Lady Vengeance. This is the personal flagship of Dallis, and the injured Bishop Alexander sleeps in the hull. Dallis won’t let the player slip away with both her vessel and boss, which can lead to one of the more difficult early quest encounters: Lady O

Because Divine Talents are off during character creation, players will normally have to wait until level 3 for their first Gift Bag talent. However, this can be bypassed by not spending your first talent point, and then distribute it once in the campaign. You can also turn on the Fort Joy Magic Mirror Gift Bag and rush to the arena in order to retr

Characters gain immunity to being Stunned, Frozen, Knocked Down, Polymorphed (Chickened), or Crippled for one turn. This can only proc once every three turns. You also cannot take Indomitable and Glass Cannon at the same time. This talent is great for increasing survivability, especially for those that have low physical or magic armor. Consider pairing this further with Walk it Off for even more status immun

Skin Graft (3 Polymorph): Resets all of your cooldowns. This is powerful on its own but becomes even crazier on Fane, whose special Time Warp allows an instant second turn (though for 1 Source point, and another for Skin Graft itse

While the Rogue does not typically excel in the center of a brawl, they are incredibly adept at picking targets and isolating them. Try to focus down on enemies in isolation and those on the fringes, ideally disengaging and moving away from larger clusters of foes after the damage is done. Given the Scoundrel skills that allow cloaked teleportation ability, it is especially helpful to target ranged combatants; the worst-case scenario is that they are forced to displace, sometimes costing the opportunity to shoot at the party, the best is that a threat has been completely elimina

The last option is to outright attack Dallis, who will drop her powerful Reckoning two-handed mace as a bonus. Players don’t need to kill her, only wound enough that her vitality drops below 400 health. As noted above, she has undead status and cannot be one-shot with Death Fog. She is also very high on the starboard stern of the enemy ship, making it hard to even get her in line of si

Equalise (3 Polymorph): Redistributes all armor and health to everyone equally. This can be used defensively to heal up weakened allies, and also rob armor and health from the enemy. Can be very situational, but a great tool in boss fig

Characters gain talent points at level 1, 3, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28, and 33. Divinity Original Sin 2 is programmed for more points at higher levels, but due to the limited amount of experience points, it is likely most parties will complete the game at level 22

Combat abilities are broken down into all the skill lines a player can get, weapons a player might use, and defensive abilities. Players will want to put a good portion of these points into the skill lines they have chosen as this will boost their damage and healing percentages. Outside of that putting points into the player's weapon of choice is another great option. All of the defensive options are useful too, but retribution is the best one for the Inquisitor as it will reflect a percentage of the damage they have ta

At higher levels, the Witch’s mastery over Necromancer and Scoundrel should give them an advantage towards both stealthy gameplay and high-risk Vitality plays. The presence of Raise Bone Widow (Necromancer 2) alone should distract enemies long enough for the Witch to attack with Corrupted Blade, Rupture Tendons, or Sawtooth Knife (Scoundrel 2). Should they end up in a tight spot, they can’t be reduced below 1 HP via Living on the Edge and they may have enemies take all their damage with Shackles of Pain (Necromancer

Though the situation may change with the release of Baldur's Gate 3 , the closest one can get to having a full-fledged Dungeons & Dragons session on console is by playing **Divinity: Original Sin 2 ** . It is not just that it is a turn-based fantasy game - those are by no means uncommon on the latest console generation; Original Sin II fully captures some of the more niche and enjoyable traits from table-top RPG experiences. It adopts such staple TTRPG features as a broad range of abilities , endlessly customizable armor and attire, and a tone that carefully walks the line between high fantasy epic and goofball comedy (the natural endpoint for every Dungeons & Dragons campaign). It is especially impressive that the console port holds up against the PC original , maintaining the complexity with a suitably streamlined control structure. Digital D&D is a difficult goal by any measure, but Original Sin 2 manages to nail the feeling and fun, building on it with an incredible range of customization opti
