Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Help/Tips/Tricks Rivellon travel guide aka "golden path" (spoiler)

So, many people seem to be a bit lost in Rivellon so here's my (incomplete) "golden path" which should more or less guarantee that you always meet enemies at levels which are similar to your own (max two levels above or one level below your own). It also follows the story as I think it is "intended". Of course the game don't force you to do it that way but if you follow this way combat should be challenging and fun most/all of the time without being too hard or too easy (if one of both is nevertheless the case, you should just think about choosing another difficulty setting in general):

In Cyseal:


In Luculla forest


In Hiberheim


In Luculla forest again:


In Phantom Forest


Feel free to discuss or continue the "golden path" for the remaining Phantom Forest area (please in spoilers).

Thanks, Lord Crash. I seem to have done much of that, although my own path would need a few more numbers with 'Faffed about a bit' in it.

Nice thread Lord Crash. I don't think I can give any helpful advice on the 'golden path' though, looking at the list I've done rather a lot of the game completely out of order. I just tend to explore on a whim, if the monsters can't kill me then I'm clearly supposed to be there :P

Can you guide me to the White Witch's cave? And where is the lake that can guide me to the next city? Some one told me the cave is behind the cabin, but I just couldn't find it.

Thanks

Just enter the cellar of the White Witch's cabin (after you deactivated the force field). There you can see the dungeon behind a door (north wall). The lever/button to open the door is just left of the door at the wall (it's small so zoom in).

Thanks a lot!

great! thx!

Is that the end of the game when you've done your last number 6 (Clear the whole area)? I'm thereabouts now and I want to complete everything else before finishing the game!

Thanks

Thanks. I did beat luculla mines before heading out to hiberheim though.

Now what does look better for a golden run:

1 - Enter temple before or after becoming an Immaculate?
2 - Enter the temple before or after having tenebrium weapons or a way to deal with the knights? (remove their protection)

I think it's nice to go there and run away because it makes sense story-wise to give more time to the Conduit do more mischief =P

I'd be inclined to put Black Cove after E's cave - one of the dialogues in the latter points to E's involvement with what's happening in the former and seems to be designed to send the party there after dealing with E.

However, enemies at Black Cove are a piece of cake after Evelyn. Or maybe that is what is supposed to happen.

I usually go north, fight all the undead until i get to level 5, then go fight the ghoul at the lighthouse, then i go face the orcs on the beach, do everything on the black cave, then i go to evelyn's lair, then baron of bones, twins by fire joined and finally go meet BR =P

Edit: By the way Lord Crash, can you update your threads with more details (not spoilers), just a bit more directions/details regarding areas.

A checklist! Man I have so needed this.

Did you guys clean Hunter's Edge completely?

Me and my friend made them fight Grutilda and after she died and we killed all remaining orcs, we tried to start an epic fight between the remaining mountain warriors, but for some reason combat didn't start for my character, so we proceeded to murder all of them without retaliation.

The most XP I got when I first do all the possible quests in Hunter's edge, then killing all but Grutilda and Jahrl of Hunter's Edge, hint: use teleportation and feather drop to not agro them. This way you get almost double experience from this encounter. Don't forget to lose the rock-paper-scissors game at the titans hall- 4x the XP and respectively have a rather difficult fight with them.
Hope you understand my poor English.
