Current Events > ITT: I play Divinity: Original Sin 2 (ongoing spoilers)

(+) Yeah! (+)

I can't remember what it is, but there's a story related ability that you get early in act 2 (the ability to see spirits) that really helps out in the cemetery

---

Hmm, maybe that's what I'll get at the maester's house -- that's where I am now.

Anyway, I beat that bridgekeeper mission. I made it rain where all the bugs were, then moved Sibelle up the hill for extra snipin' damage. She drew the others closer for a Worm Tremor, while picking off the one that attacked Mari. Contaminate + fire blew everything up after, making it a bit easier to pick off stragglers. It's really unfair how good archery is here; everything else (maybe besides daggers) can't get free attack bonuses and the safety of ranged combat.

I should teach all my dudes something like Tactical Retreat/Phoenix Dive, though, just so they can move around a bit easier. Everyone besides Sibelle trudges everywhere, and teleportation can't target the self, IIRC.
---

Hmm, I think I have that on Sibelle already. She definitely has some of the basic polymorph skills, like Tentacle Lash and maybe that Medusa move.
---

Okay, I got my ghost vision powers during the ritual. Should come in handy.

Currently at that mountain that overlooks some broken fort where possessed dwarves are hanging out. A bunch of 'em have wings on, so it's good that I found a way to the summit for sniping...and that I filled 90% of the place with poison...and that I blocked the easiest path to climbing a rock face. Gonna see how this goes -- there's only four of 'em.
---

make sure to cast the spirit vision thing everywhere, even after killing some enemies, since it takes nothing to cast and you can find out a lot of stuff, even start/complete missions

---

I keep forgetting to use the Spirit Vision. Gonna revisit the graveyard later to check things out.

But while I was back in town, pilfering from all and sundry, I advanced the missing magisters quest. Turns out, they were being chopped up for the neighborhood stew, lol. But since I don't like magisters in general, maybe I'll keep it a secret.
---

Alright, made it to the Lone Wolves' overrun sawmill. Managed to sweet-talk my way in and am currently laying the groundwork (read: mud puddles) in case I need to Contaminate this garbage dump. Gonna try to get that trophy for breaking Saheila out legit first, though.
---

that part can be pretty difficult.

but make sure to use spirit vision there for some quests, too.

---

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting to do Spirit Vision. Should check that, since there's a bunch of bodies laying around. I could probably poison everyone outside, but getting Saheila out without fighting seems a bit difficult right now -- Sebille's unique dialogue just exacerbates things, and there's no persuasion checks for Beast to do. Might have to do some other quests to fix this. There's some weird mirror thing sitting around, so maybe it includes that.

Also (I think someone mentioned this earlier?) found the lizard sex caravan near the bombed-out bridge. It was mildly interesting, until 2343 assassins suddenly appeared and forced a reload.
---

Alright, been doing some ghost hunting with that sourcery technique, and having some fun with it. Mostly, though, it's all the free XP I've been getting. If people wanted me to do it quicker, they should've mentioned that point sooner, haha. Tried doing it in town and all the guards went aggro, though, so I'll have to find a dark corner first. I like how that evil cannibal cook's spirit is standing right where her body is and the narrator says stuff like, "Her spirit glowers at you furiously. She hates you." :P

Anyway, right now I just found a secret basement where a lich was being kept. Defeated all the skeletal minions with some trouble (tons and tons of oil were strewn this day) and set the sucker free. He's undead like me, so we's gotsta stick together. Hopefully this'll bite Mordus in the ass, proverbially or otherwise.
---

Who doesn't love to eat dwarves? A man's gotta eat.

Here's what I've been getting up to in the last day:

Decided to just go around murdering everyone at the mill. My patented Rain/Contaminate combo is still in good spirits, but now I'm blocking off doorways to create one-room murder chambers. I took out the quartermaster (?) first, and there was even a quest for bringing her severed head to someone. Hooray.



A visual representation of Fane's life:



A mountain that gives you perma-decay + a huge monster immune to poison + lackeys that absorb poison. It sucks to be a godwoken in this universe, haha.



Here's Ryker almost about to die from a houseful o' poison. He didn't even get up from his desk the whole time I did this, which makes me sad, 'cause I probably could've saved that turtle hanging around in his office. (I got the quest from him earlier, but eh well.)



Killing that stupid graveyard necro-dog that summoned some giant troll skeleton to crush my dudes. This one felt good. I'm sure @The_Doge would approve of these canine contusions, as long as they were for a good cause.



Here's my team in the Blackpits. I improved my Rain/Contaminate comboing here by using lines of poison (Poison Dart) to demarcate particulate areas from the burning building nearby. Had to make barricades of nearby junk to prevent my helpless guinea pigs from running for the hills.



A similar application when I killed Jonathan later. Him and the hanging dude both had similar stats, so all I had to do was do Armor of Frost/Restoration on the hostage and the poison worked its magic properly.



Currently running around Bloodmoon (?) Island, pickpocketing its denizens and even doing a little legitimate murder on the aggro coastal crazies. Malady wasn't giving me the time of day here, which is always suspicious. I wonder how you're supposed to get here without any undead people in the party. Maybe rent some generic ones on the ship (isn't that what the lizard chick does?), have them go in and trigger a waypoint, then bring everyone over?

Why not befriend necro Doggo

Because Necro Doggo is trash.

I usually don't have undead in my party. Iirc, there is an invisible "bridge" of sorts which you can see using that one sight source ability. It's right next to a waypoint too. You just need to jump from one piece to the next and you'll make it there without the aid of the crazy boat man.

---

I thought there might be an invisible bridge, ever since I ran on the broken part (of the island) and could run a little ways onto thin air. Didn't know it was tied to a sourcery ability, though.
---

Ah, sorry if I spoiled that, but merely knowing about its existence is a very minor thing.

If you don't already have it I'd consider picking it up sooner rather than later.
