  • If I have to hear the AI voiceover say the word "Errissen" again I'm going to have a fit.
  • 5.) Dullahan hates healing magic. As a mage you can cast heal and tell all your pawns to come to you. He will follow as well and slowly lose health during combat. 7.) Garm will also go after raw meat. Don't forget to use combine and make dried foods as well. Once you enter the Unmoored World all your food in your storage will go bad since so much time has passed. When low on curatives having these as a back up may keep you in the world longer. Idk if its my Pawns abilities but you can also give Pawns Allheal Elixirs. Making them go back to full health preventing you from having to go to a Riftstone Shrine as well as keep reviving them. 10.) In the Unmoored World you can save everyone. Once everyone is at the Seafloor Shrine you can have you pawn visit the hot springs (plus grab the goodies on the roof outside) as well as loot places you couldn't reach when NPCs were around such as Gaols in Vernworth and Bakbattahl. Your pawn can even enter Vernworth Castle. It's like they are aware that the previous rules no longer. Bonus: 1.)At night in Bakbattahl you can buy Saurian Tails from a NPC with a gold mask in the area where all the colored dyes are for 2500 gold (5 each purchase) you can also keep buying them back to back. Making 99 saurian tails easier to have. They can also be combines with other items to make some very good curatives. 2.)You can also keep some keys that disappear when used to unlock certain doors by jumping and interrupting the cutscene, pause the game and gift the key to your pawn. 3.)Use deep bodies of water to your advantage during combat. You pick up smaller enemies and throw them into the water. Letting the Brine kill them for you. (You also still earn experience.) 4.) If you see slimes around other enemies. They will kill them for you as well. So far I have seem Goblins and Saurians lose to them and its crazy BC they are so easy to beat but even your pawns and the Arisen can lose to them if get too close.

    this is one of my favorite all time videogames. after completing it i started a ng+ run where if i die, i have to start over on a new character of a different class. i got a few hours in and decided to come back later when the game isnt as fresh in my mind. im excited for my next adventure. its a beautiful game.
  • @MrHaPpYGOBOOM
    A Medusa head does have a use, there is a quest in Bakbattahl where an NPC makes sculptures and needs to see a Griffin in order to make a Griffin sculpture and the NPC even mentions using a Medusa head on the griffin for the best results.

    Lol I found out about #10 yesterday when I realized ulrika ,sara and , glyndwr were all following me from bakbattahl to the volcanic island camp all blushing 🤣
  • @DovahGirL
    The roles are reversed during boss battles if you’ve completed all your pawn badges. Your pawn will tell you and show you how to fight🤣
  • If you put the Medusa to sleep and attack with any sharp weapon the head will just pop off
  • @davejohn3600
    One trick I found is that in an early quest an elf named Glyndwr will ask for a bow. He will keep and use whatever bow you give him for the rest of that play through. You'll escort him a lot but I can't say for certain the better bow will still have the better stats but given the way this games works I'd say it's a safe bet it will. Armed NPCs can and will fight with you even against bosses like the dragon. The wizard in the Checkpoint rest town they say is seriously OP.

    You can make forgeries of rare mats like Dullahan bones to upgrade equipment. You can pick up NPC’s and use a ferrystone and they’ll travel with you.

    “Where am I playing, you still haven’t told me!”
  • @ToliG123
    If other people have covered the same content 3 months ago, you’re doing it wrong.
  • @SoloEcho
    On my 3rd playthrough and i didnt know the brothel gives you buff.
  • @itsuko6366
    Best combo ive found for rogue, implicate then attack while they're on the ground
  • Can believe that they finally have chosen to increase the storage, last time lost lots of resources, we could not have carried anything so drop everything inside the house then went outside returned everything were gone....

    One guy I don’t see for a long time is Sigurd. Never occurred to me looking for him in the morgue.
