Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Bypass guards with ALL your stuff!tips/3 questions

Here is a simple tip (actually is a bug but whatever) to BYPASS all guards that ASK you to take off your stuff before entering the restrict area(e.x.Dwarven Halls,the way to the king and ?Guards at Stormfild castle-I THINK?)

Hard way:
You throw all the stuff you want on the ground but in the direction you will go after the guards ask you about your stuff AND then take them up

OR

Easy way:
Click click click with the mouse the restricted area(after the guards)!
When the guards ask you to take off your stuff ANSWER ....negative(NO!) and then the character will just finish the path he was given!AND VOILA!

Same for going out!

At the dwarven King there are 6 chests that need lockpicks...so save/load as much as you like until u find something useful!-I DID,found a nice BOW-


Some off topic hint/tips of my OWN:
*One skill i liked a lot was that "Heaven's gift"!I have a magic aura(MANA) 427 even i'm NO wizard(I play as a survivor with bows/agility) i click click insanly and i have infront of me a BIG treasure with lots of stuff,YOU EVEN GET URS(CHARMS) and nice weapons sometimes!
*Add 3 skill points to "POISON WEAPON" is WORTH IT(Especially if u use a bow/crossbow)!MOST LIVING CREATURES die very quickly with poison=>meaning EASY XP points!
*After killing the monsters just ressurrect them(go away and come back) and kill them again with poison for more XP! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
*Add all 5 skill points to lockpicks(YOU WILL NEED IT VERY OFTEN)
*Wizard Sight:To reveal an area for ever just click multiple times at the same location and the shroud won't come back (GAME BUG)
*Add at least 1 point to FREEZE its very useful
*DO NOT WASTE YOUR SKILL POINTS ON POWERS OF SUMMONING(MAGE WAY)-except 1 skill point for Ressurection-!If you would like creatures following you just ADD skill points to DEADLY GIFT and AURA OF COMMAND,that way you can have POWERFUL scorpions following you!
Its would be quite funny having 5 scorpions LEVEL 300 following you...
WARNING:For some reasons IF a monster is KILLED by your SUMMONED creatures/scorpions/skeletons ect. YOU GET "HALF" YES HALF the EXPERIENCE!
I Didn't like that at ALL! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />
*PUT 5 Skill points to the PATH of SPECIALIST(WEAPON EXPERTISE) at the weapon you decided to use and Path of talents WISDOM(+% XP)!
*Avoid pickpocketing,is very annoying just trying to steal something,failing,then LOAD and trying again ect. ect.!


I ALSO have some questions:
WHAT Does the statues of CAT and SPIDER are used for?
Haven't found a use yet(?)
I have found a PURPLE POTION(NOT ELIXIR) but i don't know what to do with it!I can't drink it...

WHEN IS BEYOND DIVINITY GONNA COME OUT?AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" />

The statuettes transform you into the animal depicted by the statue. Click on them to use them.
Beyond Divinity is set to be out March/April I think.
Purple potions...hmmm... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

and when you use the statuetes enemies will become friendly, untill you get back to your normal form again. It can be usefull for escaping doomed fights <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

flixerflax i already knew about the statues....but thx anyway!
What i was really asking was:WHAT IS THE USE of those?
[Since the frog statue does the same thing as the other statues(making creatures neutral to you) plus you can run at HIGH SPEED]

Spider=Poor attack,not fast + Neutral attitude by creatures
cat=Poor attack,not fast + Neutral attitude by creatures
frog=n/a attack,HIGH SPEED + Neutral attitude by creatures

Also does anyone KNOW WHAT TO DO with the purple potion(NOT ELIXIR and can't be consumed) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

ALSO I HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM:I'm at the dwarven halls,i entered the goldmine and found an entrance for level 2 goldmine BUT i can't go there because there are some ROCKS(CAN"T BE MOVED) blocking the way to the entrance!
Any ideas how to open the way?

i believe it is quest related you need to talk to......? the priest in the halls?? although i'm not sure about that! A little.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Purple potion = 20 health points, just sell them

The spider statuette can be used to chase merchants out of their shops without a reputation drop, so you can loot them. This does not help with Kistandalius in Ars magicana, though.


You do not get the quest that opens the second level of the mine until after going to the castle (which you do not need to rush).

Oh, that magic orb in Kristiandalius' house, can't it be done something with it? I tried when he was out listening to the storyteller, but I didn't find anything to do.

nope. just for looks.

And to distract you from the real prizes around his storeroom... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

ah..good point <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> would it be possible to leave a teleporter stone in his backroom and then teleport yourself in there without being caught?

hi--- if using scorpion, it will attack ur frog,cat or spider and kill it if it can <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

ive never tried it there, but it should be. that also works to get past the guards at the drawven king that take yer stuff. you can also loot Geoffs shop like that.

You can try it but IIRC the moment you set a foot inside his chambers while he's at the counter, he will teleport you out, Personally I think it is scripted to do that, except when he's outside listening to the Bard.

More specifically, he will teleport you out of the shop before you have a chance to pick up the teleporter stone. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" /> In order to get it back, you would have to re-load a previous save, kill Kistandalius or download another set (Lost Items).

Its me Toya,speaking of killing,who likes to kill?I only like to kill orcsy the most.One slash,sayonara for them(as i am using the <singing blade>,weird name.)There is one thing that i dont understand,whas the use for having so much weapons?(Carry too much,fustrated.)Please dont be offended for those who like to carry alot of weapons.Speaking of HEAVENS GIFT my younger sis keeps using up my mana just to get extra cash and potions.Seesh.

Okay i will end here,by the way flixerflax why do u like to use the same song lyrics after u finish typing?(If u are here reply me)

Signing off

If you put one point into Alchemy (ALCHEMY SPOILER THREAD) you will be able to mix health and mana potions to get restoration potions. I think with level 3 of Heavens Gift you start getting regular potions, as well. Since one regular restoration potion completely restores your health and mana (minor restoration = 50%), you only need one restoration potion or one pair of health and mana potions during each series of casts, and you can keep going as long as you want.
