Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Things just Keep getting More "INTERESTING"

After kiya got my Pyramid Stones straightened out I was OK for awhile and Now,all of a Sudden, I have THREE of them--2 are Stacked--go figure!

Other "Interesting?" things:
1. The Permanent Survival Potion I found in Act 1
worked Fine-it Permanently increased My Survival by 1 Point. Now in Act 2 I found the "Permanent Intelligence Potion". My Intelligence Was at 19--I Used the Permanent Int Potion and it went up to 25--A Gain of 6 Points. A bit later I noticed it had gone back down to 19--WTF? Fortunately I had not Progressed to the Point that I was too far to Revert to a previous Savegame. I did--tried the P.I.P. Again. Did the Same damn thing after About 10 Minutes of Wandering around. Again I Reverted to previous Save. This time I had my DK use it.His went from 13 to 22--gain of NINE--WTH?? Then I looked at mine--I had gone down to 13! WTF??? This is really Bizarre! I ended up Reverting to the Save and did not Use the P.I.P. anymore. I think I'm beginning to smell a "Floogefrog" Here.

2. I started the Game on "Hardcore" Setting. I noticed about halfway through Act 1 that things ( As far as Killing goes) seemed just a Tad Too Easy. I checked and the Setting had Reverted back to "Action" Setting. Half Dozen times Now I have "Reset" the Difficulty level but it Always reverts to "Action" setting. Totally Ticked off on this One.

3. Crystal Bag: This one's A HOOT. No Matter what I put in this Bag it does Nothing-nothing at all. I put 5 Large Air Crystals in it and put on My Hero--did not raise Air Resistance at All---Period! Broken? Dunno, butIts Useless to Me.


4.Decided to try a little "Alchemy". Not a Single Merchant in the BF sells Alchemy Plants--Understand there are 7 various ones? Neither do the 2 imp Merchants. The Banished Alchemist Does sell them--All 2 of them. I have left and gone back there 8 Times--He Never has anymore. Doh! So much for my wanting to "Experiment" with making Potions. Where do you get these Alchemy Plants/Shrubs/whatever in Act 2?

5. Quest Book: completely unreliable. I have Finished Quests still showing
and Quests yet to do that do Not even Show up. One Quest I fulfilled using the Mushroom Extract and the Queens Spider Web was Completed long ago but it still shows up in Quest Book as "Unfinished" and I still have the Mushroom Extract and the Queens Spider Web --as Well as the Antidote made from those Two-in My Inventory.

6.Keys: Not going to beat this one anymore,but seems to me that keys,once used,Should disappear from your inventory. But,apparently they do not--for me at least--I have Waaaayy too many Keys that I know I have used still in my Inventory--got about nine "Sapphire" Keys Now as well as Golden,Silver,etc.
Gahh! I don't know how much more things can be "screwed-up" but I bet I find out--Ach!

So, you had the 2nd pyramid somewhere already, right? the one you thought you had lost.

Intelligence potion in Mushroom Forest/lich Cave seems not to be a permanent one.

Resetting hardocre => this is strange, because, if you use "hardcore" you can't reverse. Did you "apply" the change?

Crystal bag => do you have items reducing your air resistance?

Plants => I found them everywhere in Act 2 => the alchemist garden e.g. or in the Water Lava cave - in barrels, IIRC, even the BF monsters drop it

Mushroom extract/spider web => creating the antidote, giving it to the imps so they heal is buggy. As soon as you move the antidote in your inventory afterwards => quest shows up again. But you got the XP.

keys => did you find keys in the BF? They're useless. As you change the act - you still keep these keys. So, I advise dropping keys as soon as you change the act.

Sigarr => I would like to have a save from you. Please zip/rar it and send it to kiya1@t-online.de

I'd like to see the Crystal Bag thingie and the pyramids, amongst other things, "hardcore".

I've noticed that when my character gets to 80 in any resistance, he can't go any higher. I've taken off all items, but still, even with permenemt potions, can go above 80. I thing this i just to make the game fairer, i mean, 100 resistance in everything would make you invincable, right??

The hero's resistances are capped at 80, while the DK is 100. A resistance of 100 does not make the DK immune to a damage type, though; it just means the resistance is as good as it can get.
