Man, I really love this game, but it frustrates the hell out of me!!!! (Classic Mode)

As a BG3 enthusiast, I recently decided to give DOS2 a shot. I thought Act 1 was spectacular and awesome, and none of the fights gave me any huge issues. The Lady Vengeance being a sentient ship was dope as hell!!!

Now I am in Act 2, and it is going well enough. I get to Mordus and he absolutely trashed me about 20 times. I'm level 11, which I think is adequate for the area, as almost all the enemies except for Mordus were 11 (Mordus being 12). It was a huge difficulty spike for me. Archers just tearing through my characters armor and knocking them down. The dwarf sourcerer constantly healing Mordus with poison and fortifying him. So then I try killing some of his allies and he fricking turns into giant voidwoken and trashes me again!! I had to leave and buy better armor for my Beast and Lohse, but even then I barely beat him. I don't even know who is crazy enough to try to beat him in his bug form. I only barely managed to kill him because I accidentally healed Mordus while trying to heal one of my party members and he died lol. Felt good to win, but what a grind. And I'm sure some of you all beat him real easily too.

Anyways just wanted to rant.

Just left Fort Joy and feeling oddly underleveled and underpowered in Driftwood...eager to hear about some DUH things I might not be doing in combat or exploration.

If Divinity does not have this kind of mishaps we riot.

To this day my favorite combat encounter we had.

I've spoken to Rhalic for the first time and he basically just says "your companions are your rivals etc." but then after there's an option to tell Lohse that Rhalic said she was a liability. So I looked this up and Rhalic and all the gods are supposed to tell you to kill Lohse, I don't know why it's not triggering.

I spoke to him through the statue at the fight with the Deep-Dweller and the undead pretty early into the hollow marshes part of act 1 so maybe I missed a Lohse interaction that would cause this to trigger or something?

Lemme know if anyone knows what causes this dialogue to trigger as opposed to the generic "your allies are rivals" thing.

Ok so after doing a bit more searching on this topic, it looks as if only Origin characters are told by the gods to kill Lohse and custom characters are not, but custom characters still get the dialogue to tell Lohse about this thing that never happened for them? Can anyone else confirm?

Already finished game as elf mystic+scholar (didn’t know they are most op just though they are appropriate for magic build).

Dont care about class, just thinking about non elf walkrough next ideally without mystic scholar combo on main character

Heya, first time posting here 😅 I've been working on an honour mode file and made it to act 4 last night. Not usually a problem, but my laptop is essentially geriatric and was having REAL problems with the first voidwoken fight upon entry to Arx

I thought ok, cool, I'll save in a safe spot and let it chill out for the night only to discover upon booting the game up today, the save file has completely disappeared from my load menu

The Honour save is still in the file directory, but even with copy pasting it about, making new folders under the old/a new user, and redownloading it from the Steam cloud hasn't brought it back onto the load menu where I can select and load it

I'm not a tech whiz unfortunately, so I may be missing something dead obvious, but any help would be greatly appreciated cause I really don't wanna start a new honour run considering I didn't even lose this one to a party wipe 😭

Hello everyone, I am going to be attempting HM in DOS2 very soon and would love really in depth help for how to get through it.

I’ve gotten all the other trophies except HM and one of the endings which I will choose with this playthrough. I’ve completed two runs, one balanced and one tactician and vastly improved on my tactician run so feel confident enough.

However I would still like as much help as possible (feel free to leave super long, in depth comments). Ideally I would love advice on what build to run not only for my character but for my party and which skills to acquire and best combos to use; any cheats/cheeses for bosses or specific encounters; and any general advice and things to remember. Thank you!

I'm looking for a mod that makes lone wolf more powerful but only if you play solo does anyone know any mods like that?

My wife is mad at me, keep saying "Why? Just for a sword and exp points? Poor little dragon". I'm sorry, if dragonbro gave me his sword as a proof of gratitude, this wouldn't happen.

Cause if so at the rate I'm going I won't be done Act 2 until 75 hours of gameplay

Got it from first try. Lone wolf. Warrior Fane avatar and Archer Sebille.

What I learned from this playthrough is idol(s) of rebirth is real MVP (Save my ass 3 times) and lone wolf talent totally changed how the game is played. This run is the smoothest run ever (did explorer, classic, tactician modes before).

As the title says is there a website with builds like there is for Baldur’s gate? When doing my bg3 honor mode I could find builds with stat allocations, armor to find, how to use the build etc. I can’t seem to find that for DOS2 and am just looking for some recommendations! Thanks!

Hello all!

It’s my first time playing the game, and I’m still on the Fort Joy island so not very fair into it lol… but all I know is… I need Fane… what do’s a girl have to do to get the chance to romance him? And is romancing even a thing in this game? Thank you!

Hello. I just reached act 2 where I can respec my characters. Currently I have The Red Prince as my main and he uses pyro and geo skills. The other 3 characters are Fane with Geo skills, Ifan with warfare and most points in constitution and Beast with warfare and strength.

This is how I built them from the beginning without looking at any guides etc but now I'd like to hear some suggestions on how to balance the party to have 2 magic and 2 physical damage characters.

I'm stacked with various gear and have 10k gold to spend on needed skillbooks.

Thanks!

So, im trying to play again after getting skill issue locked some time ago and giving up. Im thinking about going as inquisitor (i think this is the class name). Any tips or something i need to know? I am extremely confused with the building aspect of the game (again, skill issue). The only thing i know is that the companions outside of the party die when you get to act 2. In my last run i gave up on the Alexander fight, where he blocks the path to the boat after breaking the curse on the ice dragon.

The firat try tactician run has come to an end. I'm not gonna lie, the last 10 hours have been terrible - almost unenjoyable - due to a pair of fights that put to the test my (very little) patience. Anyway, I did it and I wanted to thanks everyone who replied to my earlier topic, you helped me a lot.

Also, I wanted to ask: which fight did you disliked (or the one you liked less at least)?

Can anyone tell me why this is happening? I want to get to the blood pool but this is the second time something like this has happened. I try to go up or down a ladder and it takes me the long way. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated!

Apologies for double upload I forgot to post the video on my last post.
