Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Extra Xp respawn glitch?

I don't know if anyone's already posted this but in Maxos temple in the mirror room trial if you go straight in and go into the alcove straight ahead where the two chairs are and look to the right there is a barrel that weather full or empty if you look in it then out again, enemies keep spawning every time you do! Don't ever break it and you can level up at least 3 maybe four times its very time consuming but easy. You keep getting less Xp every time you level up so it takes longer.
I'm now at High Hall at level 26.

That has been mentioned before. In the original release of D2:ED I went through there breaking all the barrels, etc, so never noticed it, but (after reading about it in the forum) played with it a bit in DKS (opened and closed the barrel multiple times quickly, then jumped back and used Explosive Arrows a couple times to take out half the group at once; Splitting Arrows would have really helped had I known it at the time, especially with Way of the Ranger, which I didn't learn until level 40). I was level 16.5 entering Maxos temple, and got to level 17 finishing off the group of a dozen summons (after trying a couple groups of 3 or 4 first)

In the headquarters of one of the flying fortresses there is a puzzle to solve before you can open the door to the inner headquarters. Trying to open that door without the correct solution will spawn opponents in several locations there, which you can use to build up large groups to clear out. In Aleroth you can avoid completing a task with Zandalor to let opponents continually come through portals, but you can not leave once you start, until the quest is done.

If you are playing DKS, original release (PC/Xbox) or the Developer's Cut version (PC), though, once you get into the Flames of Vengeance section of the game there are several areas where opponents respawn, with much higher experience points than the D2:ED section. If you are playing the original PC release of D2:ED, see Can Flames of Vengeance be purchased separately? (on Xbox there was no separate release of FoV; it was too large for DLC, as originally planned, and Larian couldn't get a publisher for a retail release).


Welcome to the forum.

I never found this "easter egg" in the mirror room .... Which barrel much I open and close?
And the respawning of enemies stops when I break one of the barrels (or something else?) ?

Just a reason more to restart DKS once again

The barrel is straight into the room, the far alcove (with a couple chairs/chests), on the right just past the half height wall. There are 3 (IIRC) opponents summoned each time you open the barrel (which of course you will no longer be able to do if you break it).
