Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General In need of advice

Hello. I was in need of some general advice. I am level 26, and am just about done exploring Verdistis and completing a great many quests. Before that, I have done just about every other single quest I could do. What I have not done is, go to the Dark Forest. And I also have yet to go to Stormfist Castle, even though I have two invetations now hehe. Which path should I choose? Dark Forest? Or Stormfist?

I would go to the Dark Forest first.
Stormfist can be pretty hard after you get out...

Hiya Mtsunami,
Ok, if you need experience go to the Dark forest, many more quests their. If you are level 26 you should be fine. Watch out for the talking tree, he's dangerous....nearly toasted me!! Stormfist castle will continue the main story...makes you also hate Janus, the supposely divine one. Dark forest has alot of good items for sale, bows, armour, gauntlets etc....really improve your character. Take on Mountain Trolls if you want experience quicker. Goto the Dark forest, but beware of the trees....Oh, and if you see the sword in the stone...well you decide. Just make sure you get to the Elven camp, great items for sale!!!

Happy gaming!!
Hillsy.

Elemental hail is wonderful...
No more in alchemy - you can get more through quests...
Hell spikes are good as well...
Dread Knight helps...
And i like deadly gift, it can come in really useful, though some consider it cheating...

If you can't decided...wait and keep them till you need them

Hiya Jared,
Have you got Restoration spell yet? Allows your character to heal using magic....important skill!!! Also, maybe bow skill. You are a mage, so try and cover the type of enemies you will encounter...such as a Mountain Troll has bad resistance to Lightning. Try and have different attacking spells so that you are not caught out by a single opponent. So I suggest...Lightning, some sort of Spirit and Poison attack. You have your Meteor Strike, a good early skill to have!!

Remember, by obtaining charms later in the game you can help your character develop further. Strength is useful even for a mage, why? Because it helps you carry items and saves you time going backwards and forwards selling them.

Lightning!!
Restoration!!
Bow Skill.
Summon Creatures. Helps draw fire away from you!! Useful for Wizard!!

Hope this helps,
Hillsy!!

SPOILER tip:









You can get 4 restortion skills for nothing!! 3 through quests and 1 from a book that lies somewhere for free

take two steel scorpions of level 400 with you and go wherever you want?
by the way, don't you think that steel scorpions are far too strong, even for that final boss (lord of lies or something)?

yes, this is one thing many people have discussed, I think somewere, a post called, r s/scoprs cheap?
