Divinity 2 cheats

There don't seem to be any 'console' type cheats in the game, and while there are savegame and trainers available, I don't personally think you need to cheat to compete this game - see below for my guide to 'easy battles'.

Divinity II: Ego Draconis is the follow up to Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity. It’s a fairly standard single player RPG featuring a classless character system designed to allow flexibility when creating and ‘leveling up’ characters.

Like many of the current RPGs it has a storyline that varies depending on the choices you make, making the diversity level more than a ‘bog-standard’ RPG. Additionally, it gives you the ability to fight as a human or a Dragon.

The story take you back to the land of Rivellon, a land scarred by apocalyptic wars, that has evolved to become magic filled and fantastic. The Order of the Dragon Slayers have been searching for the Dragon Knights who killed their Divin Hero; however, the true evil The Black Ring, continues to gain power and plot with evil intent.

You are given the powers of a Dragon Knight as she dies, and perhaps you now have a chance to unravel the mysteries of the world as you see darkness begin to envelop the world.

This is a very interesting game that has taken the best elements of the previous classics and incorporated them to produce a fun game. The key features are:

A classless system – this allows you to use your experience points to create the character as you see fit – you’re not tied to a class and therefore have a lot of choice, and are able to tailor characters to your own personal game style.

Dynamic storyline – like most RPGs these days, the game presents you with many moral choices along the way, and these choices change the storyline giving you up to 20 different quest endings, NPC reactions etc. – this provides you with plenty of scope to replay the game and have a different experience each time.

Battle Towers – the Battle tower adds an intriguing element to gameplay as you are able to transport to it with use of a relic and use the powers of the tower.

Do-it-yourself creatures – as you fight, you can collect the body parts of those you slay – you can then use these spirits to create your own creatures made from these body parts – it’s fun, but you can also create some pretty decent allies.

The Battles as a dragon are a little tricky at times, but there are some simple strategies to win, especially with the Battle Tower initial battle:

• Target the ballista first - they are doing the main damage to your dragon.
• Aim at one ballista, swoop in fast (using right key mouse), destroy it, and swoop out fast.
• Continue until all ballistas are destroyed - you may have to kill the odd flying enemy, but by flying fast and getting out of range quickly you shouldn't have any trouble, especially with the 'heat seeking missile'!
• Tackle the nests individually.

It takes a little time and you may have to use a potion or two, but by tackling them one at a time, you don't get inundated with missiles, and you can stay out of range of the ballistas while you rest.

Simple - hide! You can hide out of sight of the enemies and pop out to shoot fireballs! The enemies concentrate on your pet and Sassa and simply ignore you.

Divinity 2 isn't the hardest RPG I've played, but there are some circumstances where sheer numbers tend to make it hard to succeed.

Here are some of the methods that I currently use to make the game easier:

• Soften up the enemy with long range spells such as fireball etc.
• Divide and conquer: Get close enough to be spotted by one or two enemies and then run - they normally will follow you - leaving you with a more manageable battle.
• Place your most useful spells and potions in your 'quick bar' - I tend to put some food, some potions and one or two spells first and then put a couple of combat moves.
• Fight all battles - don't try and hurry the game by skirting battles - the experience and levels you gain are important as you move towards larger battles.
• Save often - and always before a battle.
• Maintain many save games, just in case you make a decision you'd like to change - make detailed notes of any choices you made and the save game associated with the choice.

One thing I noticed early on is that the Artificial Intelligence in this game isn't the greatest. I was quickly able to find a flaw that makes battles easy although a little time consuming:

• Creat any character and get the spell 'fireball'
• When levelling up, concentrate on the 'fireball' spell.
• When you see a group of enemies, move slowly towards them until you find a target and cast fireball.
• Move back quickly so you lose the targeted enemy.
• As you are on the edge of their 'vision' the enemies will not follow you and simply go back to their pre-set routing.
• The more powerful the fireball, the quicker you will be able to kill your enemies.

Variations on this include hiding behind something, then moving left or right to get a target - firing the fireball and then hiding quickly - quite often you lose the target and they stop following you.

(Note: this was particularly effective when in battle for control of the Battle Tower - the enemies simply ignored me (I was hiding) - they concentrated on my pet and Sassa - all I had to do was wait for my fireball to regenerate and keep on popping out to fire).
