Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis End Game stats

I was on a site a while ago and saw that Larian was looking for finishing stats for this game. I can't find the site since I lost most of my bookmarks when I got my new Mac so I thought I might post it here and keep my fingers crossed that the right person finds it. Hope it does some good. BTW I play an Xbox 360 and put in 40-50 hours a week on it during the winter when I'm not digging in dirt outside in better weather. - no joke, I need a life - but as someone put it so well on a recent forum - "why? I have thousands of them - I"m a gamer!"

As a preface to my game-end stats let me say that I am an old hand at gaming and have been there since "Pong". So we have established that I am an old fart who Jones' for a good RPG. I enjoy, (masochist that I am), playing utill I have pushed the game to it's limits and squezed out every buff, exp and stat that I possibly can. Obviously this is time consuming and only fun if the game is GOOD; and I found Divinity 2 to be exceptional. I have gone through at least a dozen times, played for 4 months straight, and have discovered the following:
1. In spite of then fact that many people poo poo the Wisdom skill; I have found it to be of immense value. By the time the game was done I gained enough levels with this skill that I found it unnecessary to trudge through the respawning glitches to level up. If you abuse the "save/reload" trick you can obtain jewelry from Needleman and Locke that have mind read and wisdom buffs. Buy all of these that you can each time that you visit them when you level up and keep them in your inventory until the end. Switch between as needed and gain/save exp for both. What seems like a piddly amount of extra and saved exp actually adds up to quite a lot over the course of the game. You can also put the skill points you would have spent on mind read and wisdom to good use elsewhere.
2. Abusing the "save/reload" glitch can be very time consuming but us old farts are patient and greedy. I got some truly great gear from this (even legendary) early on in the game and the buffs and charm slots boost your stats to a very comfortable level which makes bashing Goblins a breeze. This is especially true in the early part of the game which is more difficult.
3. I play on the easy setting - Hey! I told you I was old - the blood pressure is a concern With my hard-won jewelry, belt, and Ulthring's armor (all buffed with blessed and divine damage charms and level 10 healing aura) I went through enemies in the battle at the end like a hot knife through butter.
4. No one mentions it but you can also use a re-spawning trick in Stones fortress with Stone. Just keep running away from him and he keeps pumping out armors and skeletons at about 200 exp a pop (if you have maxed your wisdom at that level).
5. I used no level 10 enchants other than Healing Aura - didn't see much difference between +24 and + 27 on the stats for damage etc. so I had Malachite Gems left unused at the end.
6. I encountered a few visual glitches where the screen would turn black and you couldn't see anything; but you could use the map to locate the exit and the chests show up with the "use" dialog, so no big deal. The game did freeze a few times but as long as you are a proponent of constant saving (as I am) this was not a significant problem.

I have a few suggestions:
- When you examine the contents of a chest, make it possible to compare the item of interest with your own equipment using the "Y" button otherwise you have to add it to your inventory and compare there - wastes time.
- Keep the soldier's voice in the next game - it's delicious (obviously I'm female)
- Allow us to resurrect our character for the next installment - we get fond of our "alter-ego" heroes and would like to see them again.

OK here are the stats: I was a dual wielding melee fighter that never fired an arrow and used magic missile sparingly in the beginning game and never after level 8 or so. Needless to say I like bashing. My weapons were the DLC Wilds Dweller Axe and the Blood Eschelon single hand sword. I found them the best in the game without exception. I used various sets of DLD armor throughout for the bonus to strength, dexterity, etc and eventually changed to random gear I found with multiple buffs and charm/enchantment slots. These were procured by "mining" the chests and rewards from quests by the save/reload trick. You can get some truly awesome stuff doing this!

I concentrated on maxing Wisdom, Life Leach, Mind Read, Bleed, Death Blow, Regeneration, and Dual Wield as they came available. Before end game I reassigned skill as shown below:

With what I have listed I rarely had to heal or take a potion and could literally walk around like a vengefull God. It was glorious! Congratulations on a superb game. It is most likely the best I have ever played and I look forward to upcoming titles under the Divinity line. (Sorry, my "gamer" language leaves something to be desired). I will play on a harder level and post if I find any significant changes in my comments and/or observations. Loved it!!!!!

I hope this gets to whomever needed the stats for their game development. Thank you for such a great gaming experience.

The topic was Finished Divinity II ? Tell us with which stats. Larian primarily wanted this info for balancing the add-on Flames of Vengeance, but it should still be of interest for anyone interested in various builds, etc.

With the PC version you can install FoV and load/continue with a save near the end of D2:ED. In the remastered DKS (the only way to get the add-on content on the Xbox), you can not load D2:ED saves due to various changes. Larian did mention the possibility of creating a tool to import a D2:ED save and import it into the FoV section of DKS, but if such a program is release I don't know if it will also be available on the Xbox.


Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the input. I appreciate such a swift response. Unfortunately I have never posted before and many of the items in the references for my listing are a mystery to me. I guess I,m kind of low on the learning curve here.

I have a question.... I like this game so much I would be willing to purchase another copy of the game as the remastered DKS for the XBox but have looked in vain for such an animal. Is there one out yet or is it still in the works? I would like to explore the story line some more to see what else is offered. Any info on this would be much appreciated.

We are still waiting for an official release announcement from the North American publisher, for the Xbox version of DKS and the physical PC release in the US. A couple weeks ago Larian reported that they were in the process of finalizing the deal (all of the North American publishers wanted to wait for sale results from the rest of the world before making a commitment). All we know now is it should be out Q1 of this year.

If you are in the UK, DKS has been released, but as of a week ago Lar reported that the publisher was sold out for the game, and since some retailers were in the middle of doing inventory and not making any new orders that it may take a couple weeks to for them to restock.

I have a feeling I may have over-leveled quite a bit. I am almost level 35 and still have not finished quite a few quests. I don't immediately complete the quest win I finish what it askes me to do, I save them until I have killed every enemy I can find so I get more experience. Everyone probably knows this already, but enemies experience diminishes, quests do not. So save completing the quests for last unless your really want the next level.

I finished D2:ED on level 36 (and three quarters of the way to 37). That made much of the Hall of Echoes fairly easy, but the final fight was still a bit of a challenge.

There should be an announcement made about the North American release of DKS tomorrow.

Finished ED with a lvl33 mage, last fight was a tough bitch.
I had to get out of sight quickly, hoping for my creature and summoned demon to take mobs attention, while I could take them on without getting killed by the 2 big NPC (no names not to spoil).

Apparently the final battle is quite challenging at level 30/31 even on easy difficulty. The lowest I've seen reported was level 26 (End Game SPOILERS).

I used the exact same method

I had been playing on hard the entire game, and once I entered the final fight at level 36, I died in about 5 seconds I had to kick it down to easy because it was getting late and I had college in the morning and wanted to go ahead and finish the game. I immediately summoned the creature and a level 35 demon and ran behind the pillars. Didn't have much problem on easy

I died pretty quick the first time, as well. After reloading I didn't die again (moved away from the starting position right away, so everyone could not attack at once), though had to break away from melee combat a couple times to heal.

every boss fight should be like in the end : D

chasing us around like school girls while applying make up to look purty and all.
