How to Survive Lady Vengeance (Lady O War) in Divinity: Original Sin 2

The go-to weapon for the rogues is the dagger. The exceptional mobility provided by the class makes them uniquely suited to maneuvering around enemies to get the big pop of extra damage from a backstab. Simply move into the radius behind the chosen enemy (depicted as a triangular field with a dagger icon) and attack as typical. It is important to note that not all abilities benefit from the backstab position - check to make sure that the chosen attack makes use of the boost to ensure that AP and recharge time are not being wasted. Rogues can also be quite effective at a distance, but many scoundrel skills rely on being up close, so it can be wise to just keep a ranged weapon on hand for a tight situat

This mod is a must-have for treasure goblins and hoarders alike, ensuring they can get their hands on even the most secretive of nooks and crannies. After all, players never know when a new item will come in ha

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

Out of the three, summoning is more useful for a player who wants more distance between them and the enemy. The huntsman skill line is useful for players who only want to use select scoundrel abilities so they can keep a bow equipped instead of dual-wielding daggers. Polymorph is less useful in general but still useful if a player is interested in staying close to their enemies and fading into the background. After that, let's looks at what skills are useful for the Witch in their base skill li

The Wayfarer class should balance out ranged attacks and magic. Concentrate on boosting the damage of your ranged attacks with 3 Finesse only. Crossbows should be your main weapon for large damage, but also consider bows if you want to avoid the movement penalty. Be sure to also stock up on different arrows, which can change your elemental damage and cause some status effects. While normally boosting your character’s bonus Civil Ability (Bartering on humans, Emblem Rings Loremaster on Elves, etc) is helpful, consider specifically going for Stealth or Telekine

As with every class choice in Original Sin 2 , there is no one correct option for the character race, but some are slightly more beneficial than others. Dwarf characters work very well - the inherent racial boost of +1 to sneaking saves point commitments later for an ability that is nearly necessary for the positioning-heavy rogue playstyle. Elves are also quite effective; though the Loremaster bump is something of a write-off, the Flesh sacrifice skill is incredibly useful and pairs well with the Rogue's Adrenaline skill to either take the edge off the subsequent AP drop or to set up an action-heavy round. While certainly still playable, Human, Lizard, and Undead Rogues do not offer directly beneficial perks for pure rogues, but can be helpful for those wishing to branch out into more direct combat-oriented builds, with humans especially being quite versatile in their capabilit

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

Worm Tremor - Sends worms out of the ground in an area to attach to every character without magical armor. Deals 50% earth damage to characters initially and 30% poison damage for the two subsequent rounds where they are entang

The conjurer already has an ability that would do well with several different playstyles but seems to be built to play a more supportive role in combat. One of the first things a Conjurer will want to decide on is if they want to specialize in a particular element. There are several summoning abilities that a character will only have access to if they also have levels in a particular elemental skill line. Any of these could make a great secondary skill line for the Conju

Elemental Arrowheads is a good way of further diversifying your damage since you can use any nearby surfaces to change or increase your damage. Ricochet is a good way to attack multiple enemies in one attack. Last, pick either Poison Dart or Contamination , depending on your race and party setup; particularly if you are an Elf like Sebille, who can make blood surfaces with Flesh Sacrifice. For first Talents go for Elemental Affinity to lower your AP costs or Elemental Ranger for more damage against enemies standing on surfa
