Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Wayfarer Class Guide (Tips & Tricks)

The encounter with Dallis can be quite a shock if one isn’t expecting it. There are no shops between Fort Joy’s docks and the voyage aboard the Lady Vengeance. This means all shopping should be done before agreeing to depart Fort Joy, and hopefully, some merchants are still alive given the player’s ability to rampage within urban districts. One should make sure their team is outfitted with good and diverse skill books, high-level equipment, and expendables such as potions and status affecting arrows. Buy and steal items from anyone left in the Fort Joy Ghetto, Seeker Encampment, and other locati

These extra potent talents are useful for making your party more dynamic. It is great when encountering tough battles or when exploring the world of Rivellon with friends. If you are debating on hunting for achievements or trophies, it is still good to review these talents and decide which is more import

Your attacks never miss, but cannot deal normal critical damage. Surprisingly, this doesn’t negate backstabs making it a decent skill for rogues with daggers. Enemy evasion is rarely an issue, so taking this talent is mostly for fights where enemies have a high chance of dodging, and then later maybe switching it out via the respect mirror. This should not be taken with characters that invest in Single Handed, which greatly boosts accuracy, and Two-Handed that increases the critical multipl

Players who want to maximize their spellcasters can rely on Savage Sortilege to give their spells a boost to deal critical damage. With Savage Sortilege, spells now use a character's Critical Rate and the equipped weapon's Critical Multiplier. These chances are enhanced by the bonuses provided by the 2H Weapons and Scoundrel Abilit

You gain a bonus to Pyrokinetic and Hydrosophist, or Geomancer and Aerotheurge that swaps each turn. This is a great talent for mages that use elemental pairs. Because of the way surfaces and clouds react, it is best to pair up Pyro with Geo and Hydro with Aero for damage, buffs, and healing. Since which cycle you start with is random, it might not be as helpful if you lack a bonus at the time of cast

Others say Duck Duck Goose isn't exactly a useful talent, but like all Advanced Talents, this one remains extremely situational . After all, if this Talent simply lets one dodge Attacks of Opportunity, wouldn't just "moving away" be more practi

Sometimes, one character might do more damage or actions if their turn happens after another character. Unfortunately, the game automatically assigns initiative orders during battles. However, players can tweak with initiative a bit with Delay Turn. With this command, players won't necessarily have to skip "bad" tu

With this Bedroll, characters get healed of all damage, attain the Rested status, recover both their armor types, and even gain temporary buffs. As such, players should acquire this Bedroll early and use this every after a battle to ensure no one gets killed especially since status such as being burned will persist some time even after bat

To counter this caveat, players should practice dedicating one player to scout ahead and be slotted in the initiative count first. With this method, other characters can try getting into more advantageous positions or even sneak. Players in stealth can get a free attack before being slotted in the initiative co

Stealth-heavy Scoundrel gives players early-game access to a myriad of combat options. Aside from Adrenaline (Scoundrel 1) providing them extra AP at the cost of less AP next turn, backstabbing Backlash, and Throwing Knife as well as sleep-inducing Chloroform (Scoundrel 1) can make any Rogue-type build cover all bases. Moreover, sneak-based teleporting via Cloak and Strategylair.Com Dagger (Scoundrel 2), Bleed and Fear-inducing Terrifying Cruelty (Scoundrel 3), and instant-kill-viable Mortal Blow (Scoundrel 5) can easily make these builds overpowe

Aggression is key when playing a Pyrokinetic, with surround-based AOE Ignition and long-distance Searing Daggers (Pyrokinetic 1) easily providing decent combat options. More potent AOE Fireball and precise-targeting Laser Ray (Pyrokinetic 2) could make for reliable burst damage Skills while leveling up as w

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

While this means having access to less Vitality in combat, the Wayfarer compensates for its ranged supremacy. Pin Down (Huntsman 1) can Cripple targets from afar to hinder them from moving, while Fossil Strike (Geomancer 1) can set up oil puddles for explosive damage. This works well with Elemental Arrowheads (Huntsman 1) that generate special arrows based on surfaces, as the extra AP from Flesh Sacrifice can make the Elf Wayfarer immediately shoot an explosive arrow instead of waiting for the next t
